We had another beautiful dog join the play group today. Morgan was on her way to Winnipeg and stopped in for some fun before the long car ride. Her and Ellie May played all morning so she should be nice and tired for the drive.

Yesterday, Chester was obsessed with the Frisbee. He carried it around and asked dogs to play tug by shoving it in their face. When they agreed, he would tug for as long as they wanted. Once the other dog tired of the game (it was never Chester who ended it), he would just go and ask another dog to play. He kept himself entertained for at least 2 hours.

It feels like a lifetime ago, since I did any pet sitting, but Garret’s parents booked his pet sitting last winter, long before we had to stop our services. It has been nice to hang out with a cat again (other than Chewy of course!). Garret is a lot of fun. He is playful, friendly and cuddly. He also really likes his wet food. He kept running off to get a taste and then coming back to visit. But while he was visiting, he kept licking his lips to get every last morsel of food. I managed to catch this super cute picture of him with his tongue hanging out not once, but twice!

I was sorting through some older photos and I came across a day that seemed to capture lots of different and amusing expressions. So forgive me if I posted some of these before, but they are back from the middle of June so I can no longer remember.

I don’t kiss on the first date!

…a mud puddle.

If you need to call, you can reach us on the cell phone 393-7787. Hopefully it will be fixed later today, but at the latest tomorrow…at least that is what Telus promised!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. It is long, but worth it. You have to hang in there long enough to at least see the cat yodelling.

Well, they were wild in the morning anyway…

Can you believe these three are actually all siblings? They were born into the Prairie Dog Canine Rescue. Their mom Sophie was rescued and put into a wonderful new home and they soon discovered that she was pregnant. (FYI – She got pregnant before she came into rescue, not after.) So Sophie’s mom not only had a new dog to look after, she also had a litter of puppies to raise. You can see the original post on the Prairie Dog Blog here. I’m not sure who Paddy was as a pup (black one on left) but Izzy (brown one) and Logan (golden one) have the same names now as they did then.

Zeus is one of those very well rounded players. He’ll play with dogs as small as Perkins (wiener dog) and dogs as large as Atlas (the great dane). He can play rough and tumbley, or be slow and gentle and he always seems to know what is called for in each situation.
