Play is important for many dogs! But being able to be in a pack when your unsure and observe the other dogs playing, getting riled up, or even just doing their own thing is very beneficial to helping them understand the world won’t kill you!

Meet another member of my pack while learning that all dogs aren’t bad! He is making progress slowly but surely! He stayed in close quarters and laid down facing another dog today which is big for him! We are so proud of how far he has come and how far he will go!

We, at V&GK9, would like to wish ya’ll a merry mochi-mas! Remember with these cold temps rolling in, it’s important to keep your little dogs close by and warm and not leave them out for too long, as well as your big fur-babies! Make sure those dog houses and water bowls are heated, and straw packed into those houses. Those paws will also need some extra protection so keep an eye out for ice, and rock salt stuck in those paws!
