Wallace's first play date with Yuki!!

My good friend, Alisa, adopted a maltise/poodle mix from the SF SPCA last week!! She named her 10-month little girl "Yuki", which means "Snow" in Japanese. (Yuki's name at the SPCA was "Snow".)

Wallace and Yuki had met briefly at the SPCA when Alisa and her daughter first went to visit her after seeing her photo on the SPCA website. Yuki has only been with her new family for just under a week, so her play date with Wallace today was her first play date since she's been in her new home!!

Wallace and Yuki got along great!! At first, they were both do excited and happy, that it made Yuki too distracted to walk well on leash. Alisa and I thought it best to separate them for a few blocks, and after we did that, Yuki did much better and was much more calm.

We stopped for a yummy lunch at Cassva, one of Alisa's favorite local restaurants. The two dogs did really well! Yuki is a cuddly little lap dog, and it was obvious that she is bonded to Alisa already. So sweet.

Both dogs did really well on their walk back to Alisa's house, where we all went to play in their backyard. Wallace and Yuki played really well together, but Yuki got pretty tired, and maybe even a little overstimulated, so they eventually tuckered out and rested.

It was great fun spending the afternoon together. Wallace and I are looking forward to many more play dates with Yuki and Alisa!
