What’s New at Royal K9 Korner

It's been super busy the last few weeks. We’re enjoying some sunny weather right now. We’ve been outdoors doing some raking and burning and getting our yard ready for the warmer days.

 We’re also getting our daily giggles as we get to know Suzy. She has met several of our extended pack and is learning to enjoy the company of our guests. She’s come a long way for sure. She still has a fair bit of learning to do and that will come. She’ll return to her training when she heads back home with her new companion, Kathi.
For now she seems to stick close to our Royal Girls and will often choose a spot close to Lady May.

She’s a smart little girl and has quickly picked up on who gets the food first. Just before eating times, she can often be found waiting close to Her Majesty, The Princess. 

Suzy is also a tuff little girl who is still learning her place in the pack. When she first arrived, she responded inappropriately to a couple of other dogs a few times. That is not acceptable, and it was immediately stepped on. We want her to know she is completely safe here and there is no need to enforce any rules. That’s my job not hers. She responds very well to my big objection and responds appropriately.
Good Girl Suzy! You have come so far in such a short time!

We've had a very full calendar of visitors this month. Everyone from lil Molly, Curly, Miss Mylu, Sadie and Hazel as well. Even her best friend The Countess River stopped by for a playday.
Suzy needed a time out one day and showed marked improvement when we welcomed her back in the pack that afternoon. The lovely Miss Sadie was happy to welcome her.
Everyone is super excited to have the snow and ice gone. They're once again able to run and do safe zoomies in our dry yard again!
Getting to know so many new dogs and the different dynamics of our always changing pack can be a bit challenging for new comers. I tip my hat to how well young Suzy is doing. She is learning to walk away from over exuberant 'puppies' like Sweet Hazel. We have an extended stay for both these two coming up in March. We look forward to see how their relationship develops.
While everyone has been enjoying a fun time together, I've been sorting through the toy selection, discarding the old stuffies and washing up the chewies. Disappointed Curly was here the day the chewies were being scrubbed. He stood by the toy bin for quite some time before he decided to take what was still available and go entertain himself. He is not allowed to have the stuffies (Yes, he eats the stuffing!) and never once tried to take any while he patiently waited. Good Boy Curly!

Curly - "Excuse me, Mrs. Where's my Chewies?"

I promise to get them all washed quickly for you Curly.

It didn't take long for Curly to coax me into getting a couple of his favourites done so he could rest easy with it. There are not many minutes in the day when Curly is without a toy in his mouth. He is happiest when he has a plaything close by him. Rest well sweet boy. Your toy is safe with you now.

We've had a few wonderful fun-filled busy weeks. Soon we'll have a completely different pack dynamic and look forward to more sunshine and outdoor playtime.
