Daycare May 8th
Whew!
Today is madness at the Paw. Thirty dogs graced our presence, the majority of which are under 25 lbs. The lounge became such a crazy house by 9:30 am we had to open it into the small room and expand the space for the little pups to run (and wrestle, jump, zoom, and all the other activities little puppies love). Everyone is getting along fabulously with a few sectioning off into happy couples. Charlie (MaltiPoo) and Pumpkin (Papillon) have been in love since the day the met last week and today is no different. They are inseparable, chewing on each others necks, mouthing at each others faces, and taking turns asking the other if they can "Smell What the Rock is Cooking!?" before they slam together into a mass of playful paws and fur.
Domino (Papillon) and Prince Pikachu (Shih Tzu) have also become quite ... "attached", shall we say, to each other (they've been participating in Hump Fest 2008 for two days now). We can't be surprised being that they have so much in common. They both have a tag along little sister, they are both participating in our Board and Train program for house training issues, and they both have long beautiful hair that they are very proud of but dont mind getting dirty. Maybe its their many similarities that has them so enamored. I can just hear them now "You are so awesome Pika!" "No, you are so awesome Dom!" This back and forth will go on until one or both fall off the couch accidentally.
Finally there is Mikayla (mini Schnauzer) and Olive(IG) who arent so much of a couple as they are a tag team named The Ruff Riders. They start their rounds by cornering a dog and barking (hence "Ruff") directly into their face "We are the Ruff Riders and dont you forget it!" Then they split, each taking a different room and challenging a dog to a duel. For Mikayla this means the usual wrestling match but for Olive this means a licking contest... ie whoever stops licking the other first, loses! Needless to say Olive is this duels undefeated champion. After each game, the two reunite to celebrate their wins, pushing and nipping each other in the process (along the same lines as the congratulatory head bumps and arm punches seen between teammates after a winning football game). Their excitement is quickly shared before they head out again for their next victims.
