Casey was so happy for his first walk of the day this morning. Joined by two of his kennel mates Sadie and Cara, they trotted off into the grass on a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning. Casey seemed to take a liking to his friend Cara as they walked side by side the entire trip and wrestled around the here and there. He came back tuckered out and rushed into his kennel for a fresh drink of water and a nap. I've spent a lot of time with Casey since I began working here and one thing I have to commend (although there are many things) is his incredible calmness and good behavior. Every time I come down the hall while the rest of the dogs are barking and jumping, Casey is relaxing on his bed and waiting to give your hand a kiss along the way. Around noon we let a group of dogs out into the yard to play around and enjoy the day. Casey seemed hesitant until I called his name and he ran over, jumped on the seat and stared right at me obviously waiting for some much deserved head scratches. We cuddled up for a bit until an energetic pup, Luigi, caught his eye. These two spent the rest of their time together, rolling and bouncing around the yard non stop. When I opened the door to come inside Casey bolted through the door and knew exactly where his kennel was and walked right in for another long drink of water. If one thing's for sure, Casey's tail was wagging the whole day.

Domino was go, go, go today. He started off his adventures in the yard with his friends by quickly scoping out his favourite toy, the broken frisbee. He pranced around the yard showing it off to his friends and teasing Ayla. Once I started filling up the pool he quickly lost interest in his toy and splashed right into the pool. Everyone was really intrigued with the hose as the pool filled. I held it up and Domino and his friends all took turns drinking from it. After they all had a refreshing drink they zipped around the yard playing tag. Domino, Chloe, Ammo and Annie zigged and zagged all over stopping to wrestle and tussle before darting off for another lap. Domino loves playing chase, and of course made some time to play with his best friend, Ayla, before heading inside to take a snooze. 

Sadie has really settled in to our routine and always knows when it is her turn to go outside. She wags her tail excitedly as I walked up to her kennel to let her out. She started her group time off by exploring the yard from one end to the other. Once she was satisfied with her sniffing she came over to join the fun. She jumped into a game with her good friends Cara and Domino. She left the fun for a cuddle with with me before going off to find someone else to play with. She bumped into young Vega, and they instantly started play bowing and bouncing around one another. Before heading inside Sadie did a few more rounds of the yard making sure she said hello to all her group mates. Sadie was quite an excited girl when it came time for her extra attention. She gave me a look that suggested she was ready for a second walk so that's where we started. Sadie led the way through the hall, pass the reception and right out the door as she was ready to explore.
