Photos - 1/13 & 1/14

Hi Everyone! Sorry I was MIA for a few days. I was feeling under the weather and a bit light headed so editing photos and writing the blog were not top priority. I'm glad to say I'm on the healing pathway. Thanks to all those who commiserated with me and offered suggestions for my care. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Here are photos from Tuesday and Wednesday. The packs were wonderful and we had a great time. I really like some of the photos the other staff members have been taking. I think we are all getting the hang of action shots! Be warm, stay warm and take care.
Peace,
Wendy

Lauren took this great photo of Chewy, Ella and Tyson. Chewy and Ella (aka Chewella) are siblings who visit each Wednesday and have for several years. There mom just opened a hair salon so if you need a great cut and color I have her business card available. Tyson the boxer is a pup who has been visiting for several months. It turns out his Dad's company moved him to Charlotte but he travels to Raleigh each week so we get to see Tyson. Thanks Wes!



Talk about love at first sight! On the left is Chuck. It appears he is infatuated with Lillie G. who is sitting on the right. Lillie didn't tell Chuck to go away when he invaded her space so she must have been okay with it. They stayed like the photo for several minutes before Chuck got distracted by one of his other friends.



This is Sherlock the cocker spaniel. He's a bit overweight according to the vet so his mom's been bringing him to daycare to help exercise Sherlock. He usually visits on Saturday but, sad to say, there was a death in her family, so Sherlock is visiting every day this week while she's gone. He's been having lots of fun while Mom's away. Go Sherlock!







I think these two fell in love at first sight also! On the left we have a new BIG boy Archie (a mastiff puppy who already weighs 100 pounds) and on the right is Maddie A. She's been featured on the blog previously. I think these two liked the fact they were both brindled in the same fashion. They enjoyed rough housing all day.



Isn't he a cutie pie? This is Skyler, the border collie. Skyler is a handsome young pup of 10 months. He is so big and filled out it's difficult to believe he is not yet a year old! Skyler's been visiting since he was a puppy. He comes once a week to keep his social skills polished and shining bright. His mom feels that is very important for a young pup. Thanks for your dedication Kris!


Here is Lola the German shepherd. Her mom had a baby a couple months ago so Lola loves her time at YLD. Lola visits on Tuesdays and has a grand time. This photo shows her turning to the right to initiate play with another dog not in photograph.




I laughed as I took this photo. In the background is Bailey G. He's watching Teddy 2 Coats and Henri wrestle together. Teddy and Henri spent most of Tuesday doing this. Two little guys trying to be the best. Coming up to sniff is Sassy W.








It's he a handsome boy? This is Neo. He's been a pack member for almost four years. We've always enjoyed his company. He has two brothers - one who visits with him and one who visits separately. Neo is a gentleman and a sweetheart. Thanks for being such a good boy Neo!








This is Cooper. He is new to YLD. In fact , this photo was taken on his third visit! Cooper is a young shepherd mix who loves to play with the labs. He runs and tumbles and basically acts goofy. He's been doing well integrating himself into the pack structure.




Coconut is a wonderful young shih tzu from Texas. He is fairly new to the pack - he's been visiting since June 08. His younger brother, Chestnut, is a shih tzu/poodle mix. He's been visiting since July 08. They are a great pair and we thoroughly enjoy having them in the pack. They like to visit on Tuesday and Thursday when most of the little dogs visit. It's a wonderful sight.






This is Marley. She is the cutest, sweetest, Chihuahua mix ever to visit YLD. We love having her a part of the pack. She is visiting while her mom is away on a business trip. Marley's a blessing to all the staff!
