Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie


Everything went well tonight! I let everyone outside for a bit. Jimmy and Sugar came in pretty quick and I called for the other two, but they decided not to come in. Sugar was going crazy on the bed! She was squirming around and swimming like a little frog! Then Jimmy jumped up by her and they started playing around together. I gave Jimmy his meds, then tried calling the others in again. Still nothing... so I went out to go find them. Mattie was helping Buddy look for critters! Buddy was digging and Mattie had her nose right in there too. I finally got them in and Buddy let me wipe his little paws off. The rest got their meds and treats. Buddy sat on his perch on the couch while he savored his treat. I sat down on the small sofa and Mattie came and sat by me. Then Sugar and Jimmy snuggled up with me, Buddy soon following. Sugar kept pawing at me then rubbing her head on my arm and trying to stick her head down my sleeve. They were all so snuggly and nudging my arms to pet them! Then they all decided they wanted to give me kisses!


Molly

This morning Molly was doing well. She got her breakfast and ham treat. Afterwards, I brushed her for a long time. She was pretty snuggly with me this morning. I think she knew it was our last day together. We played around together with her new toy for awhile. I tried to get a picture of her with it, but she just wouldn't sit still! I came in tonight and noticed Molly didn't eat any of her treats I left for her this morning! (Well, she did eat the Dentabone I gave her.) She had a little accident but I cleaned it up. She felt really bad, I could tell! I had her eat her supper while I cleaned. I let her in and she was acting so guilty and shy, but I didn't even say anything to her. I felt bad for her! I stayed longer and tried to get her mind off of it, plus I wanted to spend a little extra time with her for our last visit! I brushed her for a bit, then she seemed like she wanted to play. So we tossed around her new toy and her rag toys, then chased around the house. I wanted to give her more treats before I left so I tried to get her to eat the ones from this morning, but she just wouldn't. She nibbled a couple if I handed them to her, but wouldn't eat a whole one. I felt so bad leaving her. Hopefully she will perk up when you get home! I'm glad I will get to see her again soon :o)


"C'mon, let's play!"

I went this afternoon to let everyone out to go potty again. This pic is what I walked in on... the funniest thing I think I've ever seen! Sugar made a nice little poncho for herself!! She wouldn't come out of the cage with it, so I had to help her out of it first. She must have been proud of it too, usually she's acts shy when I try taking her picture. The boys stayed outside while I was there. Mattie didn't want to go out and Sugar snuck back in! Buddy... poor guy must be having a rough time! He threw up in the cage so I washed his blanket and cleaned that up. He sure must miss his mama!


Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy


I think today was the most excited I've ever seen Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy! I could barely get to the door to let them outside. Oh my gosh, Roxie's little dress is just the cutest thing! It might need to get washed, she kept rolling around outside in the dirt in it... I brushed and dusted her off as best I could before we came in. She was so funny! She kept weaving in and out between my legs, rubbing up against me like a cat! Rudy was content the whole time chewing on his log. Roxie and Ralphi wanted me to pet them the whole time we were outside. Well, mostly Roxie anyways. I kept finding Roxie's itchy spots and she loved that! An ambulance or something went by with sirens blaring, and a couple neighbor dogs started howling. Roxie and Ralphi had to go check that out, and Rudy just sat with his ears perked up. It was a nice day for them to play outside. It was a little chilly, but the sun was so warm! I let them all in and gave them their treats before I left.


P.S. Thanks for the card! That was so sweet of all of you! I'm glad I was able to help make things a little easier for you. :o)

There was a different car in the driveway this morning, made me nervous! The puppies were happy to get out and say hi. I let everyone outside to go potty, and the little ones wanted to come in right away! Brrrrr! Buddy was a naughty little boy this morning! After I let them all back in Sugar took off under the bed, but then after a few minutes she came out and was all snuggly with me. I started giving out the meds and then it was Buddy's turn but he wasn't by me. So I called for him and looked up... I saw him with leg up in the air over the tree skirt and presents! I started running towards him to get him outside but he was already done by the time I got there. He got two presents, and the one was a gift bag that I was able to clean off. The other... well that one will need to be re-wrapped! After all that he didn't want to take his meds for me. I tried a few times and then made him go outside again just in case. When he came back in he went and sat in the office and guarded his bone. After a couple more tries I was finally able to get him to take his meds. When it was time to go I got Sugar and Jimmy in their beds. Guess who didn't want to go in theirs? lol I had to bribe him to get him in there!
