Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie


I let everyone out to go potty tonight. Sugar didn't want to go outside and hid under the bed. Jimmy helped me look for her! He crawled under the bed with her for a minute. She still didn't want to come out. We went and sat in the living room. Buddy came over and crawled on the top of the sofa. Buddy and Jimmy both like to go on the arm behind me and stick their noses in my hair at the back of my neck! Mattie came and sat by me, nudging my arm. Jimmy gets jealous when she does that. After a little bit she was laying down, then itching herself on the carpet by rolling around! Eventually Sugar came out of hiding so I let her outside. Later Mattie went to the back door and started barking so I let her out again, while I started putting the rest to bed. She didn't seem to want to come back in! I think Charlie started saying something when I was watching out the window. Usually he just makes his squaking sound. I had to bribe Sugar to come out, since she went back to hiding. Oh! I also discovered recently that if I say "what's that?" really quickly, Buddy will stop whatever he's doing, perk his ears straight up and stare at me! See below... lol.

I came and let the pups out this afternoon. Yes, I noticed the cars were switched today! That was nice of him to visit you. It's still chilly and cloudy out here, yuck. They all snuggled with me when they got back inside. Buddy did for a little bit, then went into the office and chewed on his rawhide. Sugar keeps going into Jimmy's cage when its time to go. It's so cute! I gave them all some treats before I left.

Dakota & Benny




Dakota and Benny got a longer visit today! They didn't want to go potty before our walk, so we just left right away. Dakota was excited and ready to go again! She was talking to me the whole time until we got going. Everytime I try to take a new route when we walk. Today I picked a bad one. I think a lot of other dogs must go that way. Benny didn't want to walk because he was too busy smelling! By the time we got to the end of that short block we turned and went another way. We got back a few minutes early so I could clean up the messes. I let them play out in the backyard while I did that. It took me awhile to get it out, so I marked the spots with paper towel in case they need to be done again. Putting them outside turned out to be a bad idea too... I opened the door and saw two very muddy puppies! Benny wasn't too dirty and was very good and sat down while I cleaned his paws off. Dakota must have been digging. Her legs were muddy half way up and so was her nose! She took awhile to clean off.

It sure is chilly again this morning! I got there and Sugar and Jimmy were snuggled together in the same cage. I let everyone out and they all wanted to come in pretty quick! Buddy is doing much better today, and he took his meds right away for me. Sugar, Jimmy, Mattie and I snuggled up/by the couch again this morning! Buddy was off in the bedroom savoring his treat. I noticed lately he's been getting upset if Jimmy tries to eat out of the same food bowl at the same time he is. We all went to find him and he wasn't too happy with everyone sniffing at his treat! He quickly ate it so no one could get it. When it was time to go Sugar went into Jimmy's cage again! I will be stopping out this afternoon, since they're in today.


"Hey, let us in! It's cold out here!!"
