My first subjects are my very first daily dog walking clients: Kenda & Maxxis.

I am lucky enough to get to visit these two several times a week for daily walks. The first thing they do when I let them out of their crates is ATTACK!! I always let Kenda out first (impossible to get her collar on her if I don't - learned this from trial and error!) and she yells and pleads with me to free her brother from his cell. As soon as I open the door for Maxxis, it's game on. Their energy and playfulness never cease to amaze me - Kenda especially, she is a wild girl!
After they calm down a little I saddle them up and we head out on our walks. These are usually fairly uneventful, but last week we had a bit of excitement - an encounter with a frog! I normally forget to take my camera with me to document my visits, but for once I had it ready to go! I managed to capture a video of K & M 'playing' with the frog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (as evidenced by my giggling in the background)
[No frogs were harmed in the making of this film]
It was quite the juggling act holding their leashes and filming the frog - I must have looked pretty ridiculous but capturing this adorable moment was certainly worth it! I quickly decided that it was in the frogs best interest if we kept moving, so we said goodbye (before Maxxis could sink his teeth in) and continued on our way.
When we get back home, Maxxis usually heads for the water bowl while Kenda rolls around on the floor - I never get tired of watching her do this! Then depending on how exhausted they are, they either play some more or find a cozy spot to sit while I write my notes. Maxxis is fond of the sunny spots on the floor while Kenda prefers the comfort of the couch.
We lounge around for the last few minutes of our visit while I give them the All Breed Care signature "Shower of Affection". As soon as I open the jar of treats, they take off running for their crates and hop right in - I would be slightly offended at their eagerness for me to leave, but I know I can't compete with a tasty treat! And after all, one of the best parts of my job is knowing that I get to come back and see them again the next day. I hope they enjoy my company as much as I enjoy theirs!
