Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy


I got your note about tomorrow. That should be fine, just let me know! I let everyone out and filled their water bowl. Rudy gave me his usual sloppy wet kiss after drinking a bunch, while I'm still pouring! Roxy was quite the itchy girl tonight. I barely had to touch her and she would just melt to the ground, leg going like crazy! Rudy and Ralphi took turns with the log, while Roxi hung out by me. After awhile Rudy suddenly became interested in me. He would look over at me and would randomly run at me, giant paws flying! He's so funny! Someone was outside calling for their dog or something, so the whole neighborhood started barking. That got the kids all riled up! They each would stop whatever they were doing and let out a bark... at nothing. I let them all in to go to bed for the night. Rudy wanted to be the first in, pushed the door open and almost knocked me over! lol It surprised me because usually he waits till the other two go in. He was all excited that he was the only one inside, but still handed me his paws to be wiped off like a good boy.

Harvi, Porthos & Athos


The boys were waiting at the door when I came in tonight. Atty caught up some more on his missed attention. I spent some time petting them for awhile before I let them run free! Porty laid on the floor next to me and started playing with buttons on my jacket. When we were done, they followed me into the garage to feed Harvi. Atty was a naughty boy and hopped right up on the hood of the truck! He came down as soon as I started pouring food into his bowl. Harvi was a bouncy excited little girl again tonight. She's warmed up to me a lot more than last time I watched them. When I came back in, this time I saw Atty sitting on top of the roof of the truck, nosing the string on the garage door opener! He saw me then slid himself, front feet first, down the windshield. It reminded me of sledding! I let them go outside tonight. They were hanging out by my car, smelling it when I came out after locking up. They just walked down the road till I started driving, then they ran off.

Sierra & Koko



Koko & Sierra were sure happy to see me both times today! They were jumping up and down at the gate while I was trying to let them out of the bedroom. This morning they were getting so excited to play lighty that they were jumping and playing around on the bed. Sierra was rolling around on the floor like crazy! It was so funny to watch! She still just wants to eat the little chicken pieces then doesn't touch the rest until I leave. This evening I could barely walk around because they were so busy sniffing my legs! I had just come from walking a couple other dogs. We played with the lighty both visits for awhile before I left. I think it's funny how Koko always has to grab a toy and carry it around when she chases the light!

Dakota & Benny




Dakota & Benny were ready to go when I got there! Kota talked more than ever till we left! We went on a nice long walk again. Benny had to stop and growl at a nativity scene in someone's front lawn. I saw a dog running through yards when I was driving to the house, but thankfully we didn't run into any loose dogs today. We walked past a family packing their car and heading out. There was a little girl hanging onto her teddy walking in the yard, and she was just mesmerized by the puppies! After we got home Kota ate some food and I let Benny out back to try and do his business, since he didn't on our walk today. He just wanted to play though!

Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fudge & Fluffy


All the kitties were in the living room when I came in today! I think Fudge and Fluffy were trying to figure out who was there. Only Boo wanted his treats today. Quartz was waiting patiently for me at the sink. I went to let the girls in and they were so excited! Suzzie was the first in the house, no problems at all. It was like I never left! I saw Fudge & Fluffy more than I think I ever have today. If I approached them they took off, but they hung out in plain sight a lot more. Boo and the girls, of course, wanted lots of attention. At the end I said, "Is it time?" and Suzzie and Heiny both perked their ears up, got up and were ready to go back out.

Cali

Cali didn't finish much of her soft food from last night. I gave her the last of the Tuna flavored one today, and she ate almost all of it while I was there. She sat in my lap pretty much the whole time today, except for when she was eating. Towards the end of my visit she started getting playful. I think I scared her pretty good when I sneezed. She jumped up and then sat with her ears back for a little bit, trying to figure out what happened! lol We played with the paper towel roll and she just started going after it! It was so funny to watch!


Aramis


Aramis came running as soon as I walked in the door this morning. I didn't even have to call him! He jumped up on the couch so we sat and snuggled for a long time. He gave me lots of his cute little kisses. I would put my head down and he rubbed his head all over my face. He was super snuggly today. Aramis rolled around on the couch getting comfortable while I pet him and got some of his itchy spots. He really liked it when I rubbed his head and neck. He just closed his eyes like he was going to fall asleep! I gave him his pill and left him some more treats before I left. I don't think he wanted me to leave today! He followed me all the way to the door and gave me a sad look like "hey, where you going?". I love him, he's such a sweetheart!
