Welcome to Chip and Maggie & The New Black Husky

Daycare has been busy this month. Along with all our regular visitors, we've had the pleasure of welcoming 3 newcomers. They've been waiting for a M&G and there is one more scheduled for the new year.
One of our newcomers has asked to be kept private and that I not post any photos of him, so I’ll oblige. He is a lovely black, mixed breed, husky and a true 2 year old gentleman.
At our Meet & Greet we decided on a private visit on that same day, due to travel and my busy schedule. This boy was super happy that day. He’s an inquisitive fellow, who made sure to check all the areas throughout the house and yard. He opened his Welcome package here and was very eager to play with the plush squeaky toy inside.
He has the most beautiful happy face and a long, thick glossy black coat. He responded very well to my voice and hand gestures. I had no problem getting him to run and play with me, although, he quickly returned to his mom’s side. When it was time for mom to head out for a couple of hours, he was a bit reluctant to stay.
We watched mom leave and sat by the gate together for a short time. He slowly came with me when I finally asked him to join me away from the gate. We played together close to the gate so he could watch in case mom returned. Before long we were running and playing in the back yard and only periodically went back to the gate.
He was relaxed enough to come indoors within a very short time. After the usual few hours of becoming familiarized this boy was relaxed enough to find a cozy crate and settled in for a nap. I’ll be happy when he’s booked for a visit and will be welcoming him at the gate.
Welcome to our new black husky. You are lovely!

From black to white and large to small. Our next newcomers are a duo of the tiniest, cutest buttons we've had the pleasure to welcome in a long time.

Chip & Maggie sporting their new fancy bows.

Chip is a delightful little 5 year old Terrier X who's very social and loves to run and play.  His mom says some of his playful behaviours seem to have diminished a tad since his little sister was adopted.
We're hopeful he'll have an opportunity to regain some of his past social behaviours at daycare.  We'll be looking for a 'just right' playmate for Chip.

Chip - A real little gentleman.

Little Miss Maggie, 2.5 year old Chi/Terrier mix

Maggie is a real sweetie who has some pretty big anxiety issues. She is very nervous in new situations, barks at strangers and needs to have her brother close to her. We plan to 'go slow' with Maggie. We want her to feel comfort just being away from mom and dad. During her M&G Maggie was hesitant to leave her mom's side but did eventually saunter over to me to receive a tiny bit of treat. I sat on the floor with her and even had her paw in my hand. Awww, she's a darling little one and we are excited to try to help her overcome some of her anxious behaviours.
We have already scheduled a few days for some private daycare time and can't wait for them to visit.
Welcome little Chip and Maggie.
