It may be hot this time of year, but nothing is cooler than being the resident cat in charge at Creature Care Pet Resort.

As always, summer has brought a lot of changes and
improvements. New trees have been planted. I keep discovering ways to climb them despite the fencing Melanie puts around the trunks. I'm not  sure what game she is playing...but I'm loving it!

The kiddie pool is also popular this time of year, especially with the Retrievers. For some mind-boggling reason they like getting wet!

New dividers were installed between the outside kennels. This looks great and keeps any of those dogs who like to climb from teasing their neighbors.
I rarely saw this happening, but Melanie likes to anticipate the trouble before it happens. She's good at things like that. I wonder if that is the reason she never lets Luke and I go outside at night?

The groomers have been having a lot of fun lately. A few weeks ago Brie and Mari bathed an enormous Newfoundland. She comes here a lot, so I'm not afraid of her, even if she's one of the biggest dogs I've seen.
They spent a long time brushing her, but I'm pretty sure the silly dog just thinks she is being petted.

Well, I better go now. Melanie is planning on re-seeding part of the big yard outside. I don't want to miss anything exciting. Bye for now! 

Our outdoor play areas are expanding!

In the life of a kennel cat, there is nothing more exciting than changes. And boy have there been a lot of those lately!

Rhonda and Mel have been hard at work adding new fencing around what will eventually be a second play area for the large dogs. Since I only have access to these yards during the dogs' afternoon naptime, I really don't care too much about that.
On the other hand, I am very interested in what happens to the small yard.
They usually refer to this as "The Small Dog Yard," and I suppose this is accurate to an extent, it is where the little dogs run around and play. But it should also be called Bo and Luke's yard, since this is where my brother and I spend most of our time during the day as well.
We actually really like all the little dogs that come visit. And surprisingly, most of them really like us as well. Or ignore us at least, which is pretty much the same thing with dogs, right?
So this small yard is a pretty big deal to us. We spend almost all of our time out there. When we aren't exploring inside that is, or trying to sleep in the clean laundry (why this is such an issue, I'll never know. I'm clean too, I swear).

Lately, the small dog yard has been seeing a lot of changes. First a lot of big bags of black dirt were brought in. Then Rhonda and Mari wrangled in some heavy thing called a rototiller.
Now the yard is soft and lots of fun to play in. But I heard that soon we'll be getting new grass.
Grass. Now, I don't know about you, but there really isn't anything I like better than lounging around in green grass, except maybe chasing lizards in the green grass.
I know it's coming soon, and when it gets here, I'll be sure to let you know. Even better, I'll post a picture of it. Brie is always taking pictures of me, I'm sure she'll take one of me in Bo's new yard....that should be what we call it. Bo's yard.
