Hi! Back again for another week in the wonderful (and slightly unpredictable) world of our Pups 🐾 

This week’s theme was My Pets, and oh my goodness… the excitement levels each morning were next level! You would swear it was a mini pet parade at drop-off time. We had dogs of every shape and size—tiny little fluff balls, energetic youngsters, and a few wise old doggies who’ve clearly seen it all before. 

Our Pups absolutely loved getting up close and personal with these furry “best friends.” There were gentle pats, wide-eyed wonder, and yes… a little hesitation from some of our braver Pups when it came to the bigger dogs. Totally understandable, some of those tails wag with serious enthusiasm! 

A special highlight was when one of our Pup’s dads brought in their very loved Scottie dog, Logan,who quickly became quite the celebrity. Not to be outdone, our very own yoga teacher Nicole introduced us to her pet hedgehog (which caused equal parts fascination and “is it spiky?!” curiosity), and just when we thought we’d seen it al, a Busy Bugs friend arrived this morning with a pet snake! Let’s just say there were some very big eyes and a lot of careful observing going on. 

During our morning “tea ring,” we had lovely chats about our own pets at home. We looked at adorable pictures of dogs, cats, and even horses, and spoke about how important it is to be kind, gentle, and loving towards our animals, making sure they are always fed, warm, and well cared for.  

We kicked off the week with our always-popular yoga session with Teacher Nicole, stretching, balancing, and finding our calm (well… as calm as Pups can be!).  

Then on Wednesday, Coach Trevor brought the energy with our FunFit Sports session. Thanks to the rainy weather, we moved things indoors, where the Pups practiced their batting skills using foam bats and plastic balls. I can confidently say we have a class full of very enthusiastic fielders, retrieving balls like pros and returning them to Coach Trevor with great pride. 

On the creative side, our Pups had lots of fun finger-painting spotty dogs, there were fingers, and hands full of paint, big smiles, and some wonderfully unique masterpieces! We also continued working on our houses from last week, and we’re almost there… just a few finishing touches and we’ll be ready to reveal our very own little village. 

To wrap up this busy week, we have something extra special planned for tomorrow, our Pups will be bringing along their favourite fluffy, well-loved cuddly toys, a few snacks, and we’ll be heading outdoors for a picnic with our fluffy friends. Honestly, it doesn’t get much cuter than that  We’re all set for a Fun FriYay! 

Looking ahead, next week’s theme is Science and Experiments… and if there’s one thing we know, it’s that things are about to get messy, exciting, and full of surprises. What will we get up to? Stay tuned! 🔬✨
