Titan and Sophie had a wonderful start to
their morning by heading out for a trot along the back trail bright and early.
It was a warm one, but they enjoyed feeling the breeze in their faces as they
excitedly paced along together. The fun continued for the two of them when they
met back up in the yard for a pool party! Sophie raced friends Syrus and Indi
into the far grassy yard so she could be the first to splash into the cool
pool! Sophie is fearless and immediately plunged her whole body in until just
her eyes were poking out from under the water. Syrus and Indi on the other hand
took their time to test the temperature out with their paws before jumping in.
But soon enough the three of them were all splashing around in there together.
Meanwhile, Titan was off chasing his new best friend Lotus around the yard.
These two were inseparable for most of the morning and had a blast whipping
around the yard together. After running so many laps, Titan was hot and decided
to come splash around in the pool for himself! A few gulps of water later and
he was ready to find Lotus again for another round of chase. Syrus, the smiling
boy loved when I lifted the hose out from under the water, both him and Sophie
tried to bite and catch the water in their mouths straight from the hose. After
a few dips in the pool, Indi was ready to play and found a wrestling partner in
Molly the Golden. When Sophie saw Indi and Molly running around the yard, she
quickly joined in and the three of them spent the rest of their morning running
and splashing around in the pool together.
Titan was quite the happy boy when I went to get him for his extra attention time. He came dashing down the hall as I followed closely behind. Before I knew it he was up in the big comfy chair and waiting for me to come give him some TLC. However, once Titan heard the treat jar, he jumped up off the chair and ran right over to me. I got Titan to show off a few tricks such as sit and lay down. Once he did, I gave him a couple of treats. I gave him the rest of the treats in the treat puzzle. This kept Titan busy for a little while. He was successful in getting every little piece of treat that he could. Once he was done with that, he nose started to go wild. Titan was following different scents all over the room for the rest of his extra attention time.
It was the perfect sunny day for daycare
pals Boris, Tasha, Percy and sisters Issy and Mocha to have a play session out
in the yard today! After coming in from their respective trail walks, they were
ready to hit the yard and like the group before, have an epic pool party! Mocha
and Issy are creatures of habit and to no surprise; Mocha spent most of her
morning lounging out in the sun. However her feathers got ruffled when Tasha
came running around the corner and tried to entice her to play. If anyone’s is
going to get Mocha’s tail wagging, it’s usually either Boris or Tasha! Issy
followed Boris and Percy into the far grassy yard to check out the pool. Boris
and Percy playfully fought one another to see who could get into the pool first
but they both ended up in there and excitedly splashed around. There was even
enough room for Issy, and the boys moved over to let her in. Well then Tasha
came barreling in from around the corner and forced her way into the pool as
well. Boris leaped out in excitement and then the grand chase around the yard
began! Percy and Tasha darted after Boris and lets just say there were a few
more dips to be had in the pool for the three of them to cool off after a ferocious
morning of play!
Finnigan loves a few things here at daycare, and today he
managed to squeeze them all into his schedule. We started out on the trail for
his morning walk, as usual, followed by a little rest time in his kennel before
groups. Finnigan was pleased to see a few of his friends out in the yard today,
including Magic the Husky, Charly the Golden and Barb the lab puppy. He was
even happier though when he saw a brand new squeaky toy in my hand! I tossed
the toy for Finn and he flew across the yard with Charly in hot pursuit behind
him. Finn snatched the toy first and went to lay down in the grass with it,
though he had attracted an audience who seemed quite keen to try and grab the
toy away. I managed to sneak in and pick up the toy to throw again, and
everyone flew off across the yard once more. Finnigan and Charly went back and
forth between catching and chasing the toy, and Finnigan even took it for a
little cool off in the pool.
Maya and Rocky were delighted to each go for their separate
walks after breakfast this morning. Maya trotted out onto the main trail
accompanied by spaniel sisters Penny and Pippin, while Rocky went for a more
relaxed and slow-paced stroll on the front lawn, followed by a snooze on his
big comfy bed beside his big sister. Penny and Pippin wiggled out into the yard
this morning and quickly greeted their walking buddy from earlier in the
morning, and each stopped to say hello to Rocky too. He was already getting
settled in his customary sun-bathing spot by the fence, while Maya wagged her
tail and sniffed her friends. Penny and Pippin continued out into the yard,
wiggling away and saying their greetings to a few new faces that joined the
group this morning. Penny was approached by a very small girl named Barb, who
was beyond excited to be meeting new friends, while Pippin zipped past her sister
and went to sniff around by the wall and in the longer grass by the fence. Penny
didn’t stick around with Barb for long, though and made her way out to the
agility jump. I encouraged her to hop over the bar, but it turned out that
Pippin was feeling more agile today and cleared the jump a few times.
Meanwhile, Maya had left Rocky to hang out in his spot while she went to cool
her paws in the pool. Maya met up with Timbits and Barb and hopped right into
the water!
I was so happy to see Barney’s big smile as he came down the
hallway this morning! He’s such a fun and positive energy to have in our small
dog group. After his walk on the trail to start his day, Barney joined his
friends in the play yard. He went around and said hello to everyone before
coming to visit with me. I walked farther out into the yard with Barney trotting
along beside me, until he spotted the pool! He bolted over and jumped right
into the water to splash around and cool his toes. Barney had a few visitors in
the pool, including Maya, Timbits and Barb. Once he’d reached his ideal cool
down temperature, Barney hopped out of the pool and shook off before running
back to hang out in the shade on this very warm day! After his play time outside, Barney joined me upfront for some extra attention. He bounced around the reception area from chair to chair. When I opened up the cookie jar he hopped off the chair and start prancing around my feet. I put some liver treats in a kong bone, this entertained him for a majority of his time up front. Once he ate all the yummy treats from the bone Barney cuddled up beside me for some extra pets and back rubs.
Coco and Timbits were full of energy on this beautiful and
sunny Tuesday! After their trail walk with their good friend Miko, it was time
to head out into the yard for our first group outing of the day. Miko led the
way out into the grassy yard, followed by Timbits and their new pal, Barb. Barb
was ready to race, and Timbits didn’t waste a second before taking off after
her, while Miko and Coco watched from the comfort of the cool shade. Timbits
and Barb wound up underneath the picnic table, which is one of her favourite
spots to wrestle, and Coco came sprinting over to poke her head under and join
in the fun. Miko stayed put for a little while, but eventually came out to run
around with the group for a little while. Timbits and Barb raced and raced
around the yard with Coco and Miko joining in occasionally, and finished off
their play session with a good splash around in the kiddie pool. Barb leapt
into the water, making a big splash, and Timbits didn’t waste any time before
climbing in after her.
