Casey had another great day today! He was a little angel on his walk, joined by his two gal pals Annie and Zen. Both these girls are quite a bit taller than Casey, and it was funny to watch them walk together. At one point, Annie and Zen were walking on either side of Casey and they sandwiched him right between them! Later on in the morning, Casey met some other friends outside, and his favourite friend was Stella, who arrived last night. Stella is so full of energy and Casey had a blast chasing her around. He chased Stella all around the yard, and when he finally caught her, the two of them wrestled around for a few minutes before returning to their game of chase. When Casey was standing by his friends, taking a break, I took my chance to get some cuddle time with him. Casey sat down right beside me while I pet his head and rubbed his ears. He then gave me a few little kisses on my nose. Once Casey saw Percy and the other dogs go in the pool, he trotted away to see what they were doing. Once he was standing right beside the pool, he got a few splashes of water right in the face! He immediately backed up, confused as to what Percy was doing. He stood back for a while, being very wary of the water. Once the others had left the pool, Casey then went and stuck his nose in and took a few sips of water. That was enough for him! He moved on to play more with Stella and race around. We reunited a few minutes later and snuggled for a few minutes before heading back inside.

Percy had a blast today! He couldn't decided between playing with his toys, his friends or going in the pool, so he did a little bit of everything. He began by playing with Stella, who is his new friend outside. Percy loves to chase Stella around the yard. She's a bit faster than Percy, so they ran around for what seemed like forever! Once Percy needed a break from running, he found himself a rubber bone outside and carried it around. He's never been one to play fetch so he was very happy to carry his prize around the yard with him. After a few laps of the yard, and the occasional race after his friends, Percy was ready to take a dip in the pool. It was finally full enough for him to do his swimming routine. He got in and lay down as best as he could, then proceeded to dig his paws in the water. He is so cute while he does this, and got some of the other dogs wet while he was splashing around. Percy then went in and out of the pool, juggling different toys and racing around the yard until he returned inside for a well needed nap.

Issy had little Barb clinging to her for most of her morning. Barb really loves Issy and Issy is very patient with and nice to Barb. Issy got outside and made her rounds of the yard. She sniffed along the fence and then headed back towards the gravel to hang out with Ricky. Barb was right under her nose the entire time, looking up at her and trying to lick her nose. After she made her rounds of the yards, I got Issy to join the rest of her group over in the far yard, where she continued to put her nose to work. I went up to Issy and snuggled her for a while. She loves getting cuddled outside, and then returning inside to her cozy spot in the kitchen. She is such a spoiled girl! After her group, Tiffani and I sat down for lunch in the kitchen with Issy and she enjoyed a little treat of her own.

Lola and Pearl had a very relaxing day at daycare today. Pearl started her day with a very nice walk accompanied by Vanna, her little friend. Lola went for her own walk too, a slower little stroll in the front field and then the two girls met back in their kennel. When it was time for their group, they went their separate ways again. Lola stayed more towards the door, and explored the gravel, while Pearl headed right for the grass. Pearl had her little nose glued to the grass and let it guide her all through the yard. She ended up underneath the picnic table. I went over to see what she was doing and called her name. She had found something very interesting and didn't look up when I called her. I left Pearl to finish her exploring, and returned to Lola to give her some cuddles. Lola sure loves a good bum scratch! It wasn't long before Pearl noticed her sister getting lots of attention and she came over to get some too. Pearl got a good back and bum rub and then these two ladies were off to their kennel. They went back to their cot, but before I could put their blanket down, they huddles together on the cot. I placed the blanket down on them and they were content to sit underneath it. I couldn't resist getting a cute photo of the two!

Max and Sadie were eager as ever to head out on their morning trail walk. They patiently sat and greeted me at their kennel door but they could hardly contain their excitement and their  bums wiggled until I gave them the go ahead. They happily stretched out their long legs and enjoyed an energetic trot down the trail. During their outdoor play session, the two of them took a quick dip in the pool followed by a few laps around the yard to dry off. Max found a special bone out in the yard and the two of them took turns running around with it in their mouth. Sadie brought her special treasure with her up onto the play structure while Max hung back to show me how high he could leap over the agility jump!

Domino started his morning off with a trail walk joined by friends Molly and Percy; he was pleased to be in such good company on this beautiful morning. When it was time to head back outside, he was thrilled to meet up with daycare friends Boris and Tasha and boarding pal Bing. It definitely was a Husky party this morning and everyone had a blast chasing Domino and Boris around the yard and in and out of the agility tunnel. Every time I would call Domino’s name, he would greet me with the biggest and most beautiful smile. He is such a friendly boy and our four-legged guests sure have been enjoying his company. Boris especially loved his rambunctious energy and the two of them were nearly inseparable for most of the morning. Throw in Husky ladies Vega and Tasha to the mix and we had a full on group wrestle and everyone was literally leaping over the agility tunnel. Boris and Tasha had the best time running around with Domino and needless to say, they were perfectly paired for a day of fun together!
