Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

I let everyone out again this afternoon, except Mattie. She didn't feel like it. I was surprised at how long they stayed out this time! Sugar was the first one back in as usual. After they were all in they started munching on their food a little and getting a drink. Sugar was sitting on the bed so I went in by her. She started sliding and rolling around! Jimmy hopped up by her and joined in the fun. When it was time to go I had to try and get them to go in their beds. Poor Buddy got shocked by the cage when he touched it! He didn't want to go in after that so I had to bribe him with a treat. Then everyone else was excited so I gave them all one too!

Dakota & Benny


I let Dakota and Benny out back for awhile today. I went outside with them to make sure Dakota didn't escape. I noticed she stood on her hind legs a couple times, peeking over the fence. So my guess is that she probably hopped over. Benny was busy running back and forth along the fenceline with the little neighbor dog. Dakota sure liked my scarf! She kept jumping up and trying to play with it. I noticed Dakota has some very loose stool today, just thought I'd let you know. After I knew they both had gone potty, we went back inside for a bit. They both enjoyed me petting them and giving them back scratches! Kota would get jealous if I was petting Benny and not her.


Taz

I went inside again today to check the water and it's running fine. Today it is very windy and very cold! It was -11 with the windchill when I came. We're even quite a bit colder than Wisconsin today! I went to get water for Taz and the spigot outside was frozen solid. I turned it on all the way and nothing came out, so I had to get water from the house today. I fed him and put down some more hay so he stays nice and warm. We played fetch for a little while before I left. I cut his visit a little bit shorter today since it is just so cold and windy. I will stay longer one of the next few days, since it should be starting to warm up starting tomorrow and we'll be seeing the 40's again!


Taz waiting patiently for the "ok" to get his chewie!

Sierra & Koko


The girls were very excited to see me this morning! They were busy saying hi and sniffing at me while I got their breakfast ready. Sierra like usual, didn't want to eat hers while I was there. I put her dish in the bedroom to finish after I left. She was staring at me, waiting for me to get out the lighty! I started cleaning up their potty pads before we played. It took me a little while longer because they each kept taking turns going potty after I would clean some up! When I was done we played with the lighty for awhile before I left.


Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie


Everyone went out quickly and came running back inside today! It's -11 with the windchill... brrr! I started getting their meds ready while they munched on their breakfast. I was using the cheese again and saved Buddy for last this time. Again, he took it no problem! I gave Mattie all her Glyco Flex chews today, so you won't have to worry about those. Buddy was running around the house like crazy today. He was up on the fireplace, trying to look for something. Then he found a rawhide, so he was trying to hide it in the couch. After that he was looking out the window for awhile. Sugar and Jimmy were all snuggled in my lap, with Mattie leaning up against my legs and head in my lap. They were keeping me nice and warm! I looked around to see what Buddy was up to and saw him under Charlie's cage. I said "Buddy, what are you doing?" and he whipped around with seeds all stuck to his nose and a feather sticking out of his mouth! lol
