Monday, September 4th, 2017

Sadie is such a sweet girl. I was lucky enough to spend most of my day with her, from walks to groups and extra attention time. We started the day with a walk out on the field trail alongside two of her friends, Casey and Finnigan. We took our time and Sadie stopped to sniff as we made our way around the loop, and thankfully managed to stay out of the rain. After her walk, Sadie joined me in the reception area for some one-on-one extra attention time. She climbed up into the armchair and flashed her best smile, looking for some pets and attention. I was happy to give her a head scratch and lets of pets while she relaxed. Alyssa joined us a few minutes later, and Sadie hopped down from her perch to see if she could entice Alyssa into petting her too. Sadie was successful, and enjoyed a back rub from her friend. Sadie then asked to go outside so we went for a little stroll wherever Sadie’s nose led us. We eventually made it back inside, where Sadie had a little snooze before joining the rest of her group out in the play yard. There were lots of good smells for Sadie to explore during her outing and many friends to greet and hang out with. Sadie was quite the social butterfly and said hello to everyone, including Casey and Finnigan that she had met earlier in the day.

Casey had another great day today! He was lounging on his comfy bed after breakfast this morning, but hopped up in excitement when he saw the leashes in my hands. We went and got two more friends to join us on the trail, and Casey was happy as a clam roaming along with them. Out in the play yard, Casey spent the first little while with his nose glued to the ground, sniffing away at all of the scents in the rocks by the fence. He moseyed around for a while until he caught wind of the game of fetch that was taking place. Casey raced over and started “woo-ing” at me to throw the toy! I gave it a hard toss and Casey tried to jump up and over the agility tunnel to chase it, but wound up zipping around instead, silly guy. He came back to play fetch over and over again, regardless of whether he actually caught the toy; he seemed to have just as much fun chasing after it. We watched as Domino and Cara hopped up on the tunnel and Casey was determined to make it all the way up since his earlier attempt, and with a little encouragement he did it!

Domino is such a fun and goofy guy! He walked alongside Magic, a fellow Ancient Moon Husky, as well as Molly the Golden out on the trail this morning. He was so excited and wanted to play with Magic the whole way around the loop. Once in the play yard, Domino flew around to a few different activities throughout the day. For the first part of the day, Domino and Finnigan the doodle raced around the yard and through the agility tunnel as fast as their legs could carry them, but once he had released his zoomies, Domino was all about the toys! He watched as I threw a few different toys for all of the fetch-crazy dogs, and raced after whichever one was being tossed his way. Domino caught a few here and there and would often parade his catch around the yard, taking it through the tunnel or even over top! Domino had so much fun chasing the toys, but took a few breaks here and there to say a more personal hello to his pals, to have a pet from me, or to climb up on top of the agility tunnel like the monkey that he is.
