Thursday, September 7th, 2017

Sadie was full of beans today! She was eager as ever to go for her morning walk out on the trail and even more excited when it came time for play group. She’s definitely been watching the silly friends in her group as they wrestled over the course of her stay, and felt that today was the day to join in full tilt. Sadie rushed over when she saw Ayla the Husky and Cooper the Lab bouncing around together and threw a playful paw onto Ayla’s back. Domino, another Husky, came racing over to join in the play wrestle, and Sadie was happier still that another friend wanted to have fun too. Sadie happily bounced around the yard from dog to dog, offering to play with each and politely continuing on her way if they declined. She played with Ayla, Cooper and Domino, then with Cara, a little bit here and there with Tsavo the Shepherd, and rolled around in the grass with Sophie the Golden. She was certainly a social butterfly today!

Casey was in a great mood today, especially when he saw the sun was out! He stretched and greeted his friends bright and early for his very first outing of the day, but was eager to head back inside because he knew breakfast was coming. Casey gobbled up his food and went back to bed for a while to rest up before his walk. He enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the field with his good friend Cara, who he met up with again later for the next group outing of the day. There were lots of familiar faces in the group today, but Casey also met a few new friends, including the big fluffy Bear, Spencer, and Cai the Shepherd. He bounced around the yard with these new pals, and stopped occasionally to say hello to the smaller friends in the group, including Izzy the Westie, Barb the Lab puppy and Meadow the Collie puppy.


What a great day for Domino! He played with just about everyone who was willing to play today. He started off wrestling with Ayla, of course, who is just such a great match for his style and energy level. The pair raced around the yard at top speed, gathering the attention of some of the bystanders who were still roaming and sniffing around. Sadie was full of energy and hopped over to pounce on her friends, while Cooper kept an eye on the goings on, waiting for the right time to jump into the action. Ultimately, Domino and Ayla always wound up still playing together even when the other dogs came and went. Domino and Ayla watched as Sophie the Golden went into the playstructure and came out with a bone in her mouth! They were determined to get their paws on it, so Ayla circled around while Domino climbed up into the structure to get a better view. Eventually, Sophie left the bone behind and Ayla swooped in to pick it up and have a turn. Domino, the clever boy, went and got a ball and a rope toy, which caught Ayla’s attention long enough for him to snag the bone!
