January 2018? RarrOOooo Where is the time going?

I can't believe it's been so long since I sat down to write a blog. There have been a few changes around Royal K9 Korner. We've had a very good winter so far but really are looking forward to some warmer temps and DRYER yard conditions.
Right now our yard is a MESS! There are a lot of icy patches and we have to be very very careful going outside. Mom and dad bought some doggy friendly ice remover stuff. It works okay, but really there is so much that its still very slippery. Really too slippery to allow for free play time, so many of our visitors have been attached to a long, lightweight dog lead to drag around for safety. Mom just steps on one when they start to get too energetic. It's a helpful reminder that hinders excited play right now. Im really happy about that, cuz really... the youngsters that come to visit these days... well... you know how playful they are.  Mom wants everyone to stay safe in this icy weather.

Oh ya if you look in that last photo, you'll see a new buddy of ours. Her name is Tika! Ya. I know, she looks just like our other buddy, Finley, right? Well, she's not lol
She's an older girl and mom says she's going to check with her mom to see if she's related to Finley. We'll let you know what she says. Anyway Tika has only visited a few times but we heard she's going to spend all of Spring break with us. That will be fun cuz Miss Lil Molly's coming then too. Oh man, we cant wait for Spring.

Other new things at RK9Korner are our fences. Im pretty sure mom has already told most people about them. Yesterday we had an interested person ask us about the security of our yard. That's when we thought, well, ya know what? We better get crackin' and post some pictures of things here.

Now of course, you know, its going to look a whole lot different come the Spring. Dad put in the 6 ft cedar fence this summer and it has to have caps put on it yet. The grass was all dug up so he could cement in the posts. We had a big machine here and everything. Take a look at the before and after! No jumpers will get over that. There's no way to dig under it either cuz the old chainlink fence is still cemented there as well.

Yahoo! Gates go on in the Spring 2018 Old Chain-link gate remains in place for now

Mom was also busy last year dividing up our entire yard into fenced off and gated areas. We now have plenty of separate play stations depending on who wants to be alone or with a playmate. She never forgets to close a gate and we always have to ask politely to play together. Usually we all get alone just fine so its okay.

Here's a few random photos to take a peek at.

Oh Ya! Mom decided to open up a bath station for people who want their sweetie to be purdy smelling.  That's Lil Molly getting all cleaned up. She's a good girl.

We added a small ramp to the upper yard for those who can no longer make the jump. Lady May just couldn't resist trying it out before mom even got the carpeting nailed in place.

Lil Molly tries to tell mom to put the camera away now!

An additional large crate for those who need to get away from all the action.

Tika deciding if she's small enuf to fit the small crate
OR if the couch is more to her liking

Of course you know she chose the couch. When mom picked up the camera... she jumped off quickly. She has learned that mom wont freak out over that, but she will be encouraged to use a floor mat instead.

Rookie chooses to be separate even though the mat is small.
