Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017

After two weeks away from daycare, Kane was the most excited I’ve ever seen him from the second we arrived this morning! He flew down the hallway so fast that he slid into the closed door before I had a chance to open it. When Chloe arrived a little while later, she ran up to Kane’s kennel and started to give him kisses through the door, while Kane wiggled his tail a mile a minute. These two peas in a pod were finally reunited when I approached with leashes in hand to go out for our walk on the trail. Chloe play-bowed to Kane almost the entire way around the field, but he told her to wait until they could run freely in the yard. When the time came, Kane and Chloe ran and ran around the yard so fast that I could hardly keep my eyes on them. After a few laps, Finnigan raced over to join in the fun and the three musketeers had a grand wrestling match. Finn soon left when he spotted an irresistible toy, but that was fine with Kane and Chloe, who took their match into the play structure where they wrestled and rolled on top of one another, having so much fun together.

Finnigan joined his good pal Oakley on the walking trail this morning, along with a smaller friend, Willis the Boston Terrier. Finnigan trotted along at his usual pace, while Oakley enjoyed a few good rolls in the dewy morning grass. Once her face was good and wet and her gentle leader full of grass, she went to the end of her leash to walk with Finnigan and Willis. After a snooze in their kennels, Finnigan and Oakley met back up in the yard with their daycare friends and with some of the Huskies. Vega was up on the picnic table and Oakley was saying hello to her, curious about her position above everyone on the table top. I patted the table and encouraged Oakley to give it a try, and she climbed right up to sit with Vega! Finnigan saw the silly girls sitting up high and went to check it out for himself. Oakley hopped down and Finnigan hopped up to give Vega a kiss on the face, which sent her running in the start of a big game of chase. Finnigan ran around the yard having a blast with his friends Vega, Chloe and Kane, while Oakley went over to say hello to Justice and get some pets from Alyssa.

Bella and Jake were happy to join their small dog friends in the yard after their morning walk with their pal Flora the Jack Russell. There were lots of different friends to greet in the play yard, and Jake went around to say hello to them all, while Bella went to explore in the grass on the other side of the fence. Jake came across a small friend that he met a couple of weeks ago, a Husky puppy that now goes by the name Leia! He was very curious about her and wanted to play with the silly little puppy. Jake pounced around with Leia and friends for a little while until Bella came back from her exploring to check in. Jake took a break from playing to go and hang out with his sister in the shade.

Pepper yawned and stretched her long legs when I opened her kennel first thing this morning. She was having a lovely snooze on her comfy bed but decided she should join her group for the first outing of the day. When she came back inside, Pepper was ready for her breakfast and another little snooze before heading out for her morning walk on the trail. Pepper was in the mood to hang out and enjoy the nice weather alongside her pals on this beautiful day! Pepper was very keen to spend more time outside this afternoon for her extra attention time, so we went for a stroll in the front field together. She pounced around in the long grass and enjoyed feeling the breeze in her hair. When we came back inside, Susan was in the reception area and Pepper was so excited to see her! Pepper was very happy to get lots of pets and back scratches from Susan until it was time to head back to her kennel. 


Leia and her mom Aurora reconnected this morning as soon as she arrived! Aurora couldn’t wait to see her little baby, who’s growing like a weed! Aurora and Leia shared the big kennel all day, and they wrestled and rolled around together on the bed and all across their space. Leia had a full family reunion during her walk with both of her parents, Aurora and Justice! In the yard, Leia met quite a few different friends in her play group, including Jake the doodle and Olivia the Basset Hound, who she became friends with right off the bat. Leia spent most of her time playing with Olivia or with Bruno the French Bulldog, who both gave her a run for her money during their wrestling match! 

Annie and Zen started their morning off with a beautiful trail walk along the trail with pal April. April is almost as big as the girls and the three of them were perfectly paired for their morning trot together! Today was the “spa” day for the girls and they were both treated individually with relaxing baths and loved all the individual attention they were getting. Zen was up first for her pampering and while Zen was getting her beauty treatment, Annie joined daycare pals Boris and Tasha for some fun outside. Annie absolutely adores the rambunctious Boris and the two of them had so much fun running and wrestling around the yard together. Zen would have her turn playing with Boris during their next rotation while Annie gets her turn in the salon!

Boris and Tasha joined staff pup Charly for their morning trot and the three of them had a blast zooming down the trail. They joined forces again a short while later in the yard for their morning play session. Boris and Tasha always bring such a fun and playful energy to their groups and today was no different. Today they played with Annie and of course little pup Barb. Boris was very gentle with Barb but still enjoyed his usual roughhousing with her! But of course she saved enough energy to play with one another; we all know how much Tasha loves to chase Boris around the yard!

Issy enjoyed a late morning walk with her daughter Isis, and it was adorable to watch the two of them excitedly pace down the trail side by side. You can definitely tell they’re related! Isis kept Issy company in the kitchen, her favourite spot to lounge out during the day! Needless to say, Issy got her fair share of cuddles and attention today and her and Isis even got to share a special treat. Everyone was thrilled to meet Issy out in the yard, Annie, Boris and Tasha ran over to say hello. Issy loved saying hello to little Barb and was very patient with the young pup.

April was very excited to meet sisters Annie and Zen this morning and even more excited that she was joining them on their morning trot along the back trail. April absolutely adores her morning walks and definitely enjoyed the company this morning. April was all smiles out in the yard today and spent some time hanging out with little Willis and Maggie. Although an unlikely pair, April and Willis have formed a strong bond over the past week and really enjoy their time together. Willis just needs a little boost today hello and jumped up on the picnic table so that he could be at eye level with April! April enjoyed a nice relaxing one on one time with me today. She sprawled out on the cool floor while I gave her a nice brushing and worked on a few of her tangles. After a little more brushing we clipped a leash on and headed outside. We strolled through the grass enjoying the nice breeze and sunny day. 

Maggie was very eager to go on her walk this morning and excitedly greeted me at the front on her kennel bright and early. She could hardly contain her excitement when I let her out and was smiling from ear to ear. This little lady always brings a smile to my face and gives me a good laugh. She is full of so much personality and is such a pleasure to be around. I think the rest of our four-legged guests would agree since she always ends up being the centre of everyone’s attention. Maggie exudes such a calm energy and today she plunked herself down in the grass and happily watched the others run circles around her as her fro flapped in the wind.
