Valentine's Day really must be around the corner, because there was some love in the air today! Some raucous play, some french smooches, some playing in the sheets, we saw it all today!
Hmm...don't even know where to go with this one!
Rudy and Paddy play tug-of-war
Bella is like the Gerber baby of dogs!
Bella May in her beautiful, brindle self!
Macey knows that Smea isn't supposed to be doing that!
can't you just hear Cassie's groans and happy noises?!
Summer isn't sure she wants to do what Shelby is suggesting!
Tobey swears there is a ball in here!

Here's Bacon, our Tail of the Month, at day care,
being a bit bashful!
Ziggy tells Bacon he's got something in his teeth
"Here, let me get that piece of spinach out of your teeth"
"Honestly, we're not up to anything. Just a bit of spin-the-bottle."

With today's warmer weather we left the door's open and came and went as we pleased. The dogs love the freedom of going in and out at their own discretion. Ryley (a Bichon) decided he was going to be a big dog today, while Koto and Mackenzie (a Staffordshire Terrier and a black Lab) yard- hopped between the big dog yard and the small dog yard.
The big yard was ruled by the Labs and Goldens today, 9 in total (and that's not including our mixes). As always a good game of "Jolly Ball" was in play through out most of the day, along with tag, racing and wrestling.
The small dogs turned their snuggle blanket into a rope for a game of tug-of-war. After much heaving and hoing they agreed on a 3 way tie between Koto, Cosmos (a Bicha-Poo) and Bella (a Puggle). And as the rain set in in the afternoon many of the pups meandered in to snooze and snuggle. By 3 o'clock it looked like nap time at a kindergarten class and sounded as quiet as a library. But peace and quiet doesn't last for long around here and one by one they woke up and stretched. The lazy ones got nudges from friendly noses that it was time for a last romp before getting picked up.

What a fun crew today! Muddy, but fun. And way chillier than it seemed once you were out there for awhile, so we'd go out, then come in, go out, then come in. It worked great.
Tucker & Ryley play house
Baker, Hunter, Tucker and McKenzie - just a blur!
Professional Stick Chewing
a close-up - just look at their technique!
Bandit watches intently, hoping to get in on the chewing
But just as quickly, the game changes to kickball.
look at that form - all three hit their mark at the same
time- talk about Synchronized Running!
Woody tells Griffin which team he's on
Raffles hopes someone will scratch his itch, while
Wrigley just hopes that ball moves for him!
Paddy & Foxy in for close ups
the little dogs cheer on the big dog games

I keep wanting to write 2009, so don't be surprised if I actually do it one day! The snow is gone!! While skating is over, we have moved on to a new sport: Puddling! Watch out Olympics - we have some athletes here to give you a run for your money in some real sports!
the brothers assess the puddle before they jump - a real
testament to their skills
Marley and Hanna watch from the sides, cheering on friends
some of the judges from the non-puddled small yard
spectators racing to get a good view from the fence
and on to the next event - Race Around the House
Nike says, "Best puddling I've done yet this year! Watch out Vancouver!"

While a bit rainy, the dogs enjoyed splashing in the puddles and chewing on sticks. This group shares their sticks so well - gold stars for all!!!
Molly is a bit wet, but no worse
for the wear!
"I know the ball is in here somewhere..."
"See, we start with a good sized stick..."
"Then we all work a bit on it..."
"And then, voila! The stick is gone! "

"Aren't we just the cutest?"

Sunshine, snow and happy dogs!
It was a beautiful winter day and plenty of pups came out to play. Lola turned her normal game of ball into a combo hockey/soccer game. She slipped and slid all around the yard chasing her ball. Maudie, Shelby and Summer led a race of speedy pups around the yard. Tobey had to dig out the tennis balls from the snow, but once his buddies saw how it was done, all the balls were quickly back in play (most still looked like snowballs!).

Welcome to Betty Boop, new to day care today. She and Georgia got along famously. Riven and Hank romped in the snow together. And Jake and Gryphon played sticks.

Finley made it to the big yard today! The other dogs, Bandit, Sparky, and Tucker were wonderful ambassadors and introduced Finley to everyone.
"And this is where I hide bones sometimes."
"You will never catch me, boys!" Zabette laughs.
"I told you my mouth is bigger than yours!"
