Thursday
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, cold outside!
Went out to the Sheepfold this morning and the noses were cold! The wind was blowing! The sun was shining, perfect Winter day. The only thing missing was a little snow!
Max enjoyed chasing a Great Dane puppy which is unusual because he does not usually engage in play. Must have been the cold, bringing out the pup in Max.
Penny was frightened off temporarily by another dog, but came running back once we started playing stick.
Mazy did her usual schtick of finding things to roll in! Her rolling was short lived when she realized how cold and hard the frozen ground is. Penny went to investigate what Mazy had found, and quickly decided Mazy's new cologne was not to her liking!
Nisha does his own thing, always has, always will. He is an Elk Hound, and is comfortable exploring in the woods.
We must be hardy folk, for even the squirrels were in their nests, and Nishas had little to hunt.
We'll be heading out again in the late afternoon, but for now we are warm and comfy back at Daley Care.
Were on Facebook now, check us out under Margaret Daley!

Wednesday
Today at the Sheepfold Cross Fells Trail
The morning began with a bit of rain. There was a fog lifting off the reservoir as we approached, it was beautiful! We pooches all love mud so the troops didn't really notice or complain about the rain.
By mid morning the Sheepfold was packed with lots of our familiar weekend friends because so many humans only had to work a half day because they were preparing for the annual American ritual of giving thanks to Dog Almighty.
At one point during the day, Margaret was throwing a ball to a bunch of us who were out in the field running and competing to make the catch. The star of the day is Annie, who jumped over a weekenders dog and snatched the ball in an amazing interception! We as dogs could not believe Annie could be so competitive and athletic.
By 2pm Margaret called us to the car to take us home, we were wet and thirsty. We were all ready for a dry off, a warm up and a nice nap.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you!
Yours, Riley the dog
Tune in later in the week to see what kind of hijinks the doggerels get into.

Tuesday
Fall excursion
Today we went to Lynn State Park with Fenway, Joey, Mazy and Penny. We noticed how quiet it was, possibly due to the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. Cest La Vie, we had a wonderful time in spite of the clouds and the smaller number of friends we usually see there.
One activity the dogs wanted to try was swimming. You should have seen the looks on their faces when the water got up to their bellies. Yikes, the water is cold, they seemed to be saying. The leaves made a nice place to roll in and dry off.
From the pond we went on a nice walk, the trails there are beautiful.
Tune in tomorrow to see what kind of hijinks the doggerels get into.

Beautiful Fall day
No pictures were taken today :( so check back Monday!
Today, I took the dogs on a beach walk. It was a lovely day. We took along a new client, John, who wanted to see for himself how Daley Care Outward Bound runs. We walked five and a half miles and headed home just before the rain. Within 10 minutes of leaving the parking lot the dogs were sound asleep.
Tommorow is Friday, and we don't blog Friday thru Sunday.
See you on Monday!

Tuesday
Yesterday my four legged friends and I headed out about 9 AM and had a great run through the orange trail and all of its streams. The orange trail offered the most shade on a hot day. I took a few photos of flowers and plants and it looks like an early fall is ahead!
Today, Izzy, Lucy, Fenway, Otis, and Lilly went with me on a much cooler day. There was some commotion in the forest today - a bunch of trucks doing something or other - but everybody still had a fun time swimming and chasing one another.

We've got some great news to report! Mazy (a Tibetan terrier) has a new sister named Penny! She is also a Tibetan and is only 4 lbs so the troops and I went to meet her after our long day. There aren't any photos - she still has tiny puppy eyes, and I didn't want to hurt them with the flash. Soon, though, I'll have some :)
In the meantime, I've got 5 very sleepy, very furry friends on my hands. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and please invite others to read and join us. We're always looking for new playmates!
Thursday
Well, the cool fall air is starting to descend upon us! It was chilly early in the morning today and yesterday, but both days turned gorgeous pretty quickly. We had a good crowd both days: Isabelle, Lady, Fenway, Mazie, and Lily. Isabelle and Lady are taking advantage of the last days of summer and swimming all day (although they probably won't have any objection to swimming when I think it's freezing cold out, either). Mazie was her usual calm self, and enjoyed sniffing and exploring along the water's edge. Fenway and Lily chased each other around in circles most of the day. In the end, of course, everyone was exhausted.
