Another beautiful summer day today! Fenway, Kuusama, Lucy and Nisha and I trekked down to the pond early this morning. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera, so there won't be any pictures today, but we'll have some up soon. We stumbled upon another small group of dogs, so the four of them got to play with some strangers. Fenway got picked on a little bit, thanks to his small size, but he managed to defend himself. And it still looked like he was having fun. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Bruce wasn't here to play today, but we still had a solid crowd with Kuusama, Lucy, Nisha, Rufus and Stella. The game changed today from run-around-in-circles-for-hours to find-the-biggest-stick-you-can. Of course, whenever somebody found a bigger stick, everybody else immediately attempted to steal it, which led to some pretty entertaining pictures. And the weather was gorgeous today. Starting to feel a bit like fall, though!

Another great group today! Cubby, Bailey and Zoey left, but in came Bruce, Rufus and Stella. And those three were really the life of the party. Kuusama, Nisha and Lucy were still there, of course. But the day consisted mostly of the three newcomers sprinting in circles while everyone else gave chase. They're all QUITE exhausted right now. I even got a good video of them digging at one point :)

Busy Monday! We had another huge pack today: Misha, Zoey, Cubby, Bailey, Lucy and Kuusama. Combined, probably a solid 400 collective pounds of dog. We had a lot of fun down at the water. Kuusama loves to swim, as does Zoey. One of the Chows does too, although I'm not sure which one it is. Unfortunately, our great big group, which let us have a ton of fun, also meant it was a little too crazy to take any pictures. Surprisingly, a group of six dogs doesn't like to all sit still at once and look at the camera. But trust me, we all had fun!

It was a beautiful summer day today, and we had a huge group to take advantage of it. We were (take a deep breath): two Lucys, two Fenways, Isabelle, Jasper, Bailey, Cubby, and Zoey. Whew. We went down to the park and walked around down along the water. Fenway posed for the camera on a rock, and then sat proudly next to a root he and the OTHER Fenway had done their best to rip out of the ground. I also got a great picture of the rest of them swimming. And now, of course, everybody's exhausted!

With the forecasters calling for afternoon thunderstorms, I went out early with Lucy, the two Fenways, and Jasper, hoping to remain relatively dry. The morning was very nice, sunny but cooler than yesterday, and the dogs had a lot of fun. Lucy and Fenway the Pug continued to torment one another, and the other Fenway even joined in on the fun a bit. Jasper, our elder statesman, splashed around in the water and did some digging. When we heard the first peal of thunder, though, we decided it was probably a good idea to head home for a few. Now we're waiting out the showers, and I'm sure we'll be back out soon!

We're back! We were on blogging vacation last week (don't worry, the dogs were still well taken care of!), but now we're back. Today, I went out with Fenway the Pug, Lucy, Lady and Jasper, who we're taking care of while another day care is on vacation. Everybody was well-behaved, as usual. Lucy and Fenway spent most of the day playing tug-of-war with one another, Lady played fetch, and Jasper explored. Glad to be back!

Cloudy but dry!

Thankfully, the rain held off this morning and afternoon (unlike yesterday) so we were all able to have some fun down by the lake. We were mising Lucy, who needed a day of rest, but Lady came today to take her spot. We also had Fenway, Isabelle, and Otis. Unfortunately, it was Otis' last day. Everyone will be really sad to see him go, especially Izzy. The two of them raced for sticks in the water, and then whoever got it would have to win a game of tug-of-war with the other before he/she could successfully bring it back to me :)

This morning all of the dogs were VERY well behaved for an interview. Trace and Donna came by to check the place out, and everybody greeted them warmly. Trace is going to be here visiting us in just a couple weeks!

The majority of the day today was spent with Isabelle and Otis (clearly excited about the upcoming Olympic games) competing in their own version. They'd race to get the stick, and then one of them would try to get it back to shore without leeting the other one steal it. Lucy did her part as a judge, watching alertly from the shore.

Another beautiful summer day in New England! It was Lucy, Lady, and Kuusama today - Shana came along for a while as well, but didn't want to stay out the whole time - and we went down to our favorite lakeside spot. Lucy found a new best friend, Sunny, and the two of them played together for a long time. Kuusama joined in as well, and eventually Sunny's owner and I had to go our separate ways to get the dogs to split up :)
