this is quite content heavy, i promise i tried to cut it down! x)
some of them with backgrounds i had to stitch together as they were to the far end of the screen, and it wouldn't fit with forum formatting.
i'm going to seperate each part of the slumber party into a new post as to avoid a whole flood of content, written of course post-party (:
i should've had less on the scedhule LOL but it was a fun day, with lots of photos to go through (:

Evening Gambol
after the initial meeting and getting-to-know-you, the troupe had a free roam in the yard, scattered toys and balls to play with!
it was so fun observing group dynamics, watching them rough and tumble with each other, and tire themselves out before bed.
As it tends to be with a lot of 7+ petz, it was chaos, the best kind.
They were very curious about the treat ball! Magnus wasn't too sure about it
... until he discovered it dispensed treats.
He gained a lot of his confidence back after that, and his sassy personality came through the oshie nerves.
They were all friendly with each other!
Of course as you can imagine with a big group there was the occasional dispute over a toy or attention,
Charlotte and Oreo had monopoly over the soccer ball for a great part of the session, with lots of chasing each other around.
Charlotte and Dallas both honed in on the soccer ball - these two are well-matched rivals when it comes to sports and attention!
As I opted to let Stella and Seamus sit out of chaperoning duties, Blunkus stepped into that role well, watching everyone and circling.
Goose just loves the camera, as you can see, and loves hand interactions! While the others played, she was content to stare lovingly at me - she definitely is a people-oriented little cat. As I'm writing this out, I've begun to notice that almost all her photos she's playing while looking at the camera x)
Goose - unbothered, moisterized, in her lane, happy.
Both Charlotte and Oreo, our budding little soccer players got on very well , as well as Blunkus and Reese!
I was expecting more little conflicts and fights to break out, but apart from the occasional scuffle, they were all chill with one another!

Reese so wanted in on their friendly competition.
Pronto on the other hand ... not so much.
I'm so proud of
Magnus for showing curiosity in what the others were doing, and affinity for the toys!
Oreo is just a social butterfly, friends with every dog she's met thus far. Same goes for
Goose!
Blunkus's smile just melts me, it makes his face light up!
Everyone went
ham for the treats, performing tricks left and right for them (or like
Goose, shooting their shot)
It was lovely watching
Charlotte and
Dallas having some good sibling bonding time, both sharing the same play style.
The soccer game was riveting: counting by the total time in possession of the ball, the winner would be
Charlotte, with
Oreo a close second!
All in all, I'd say they had a ball.

A vigorous evening of running and playing makes for hungry petz - it's time for dinner! π
