Dakota & Benny

Kota & Benny were very excited to go for their walk today! Kota kept giving me hugs and was licking my face while I was trying to get the leashes and harness all hooked up. The snow on the sidewalks has all melted, but everything is all wet again. I was surprised that they didn't get too dirty today. A big delivery truck drove past us while we were walking and Benny tried to scare it away by running after it and barking! haha! He's so tough! He also did a handstand while peeing on a fire hydrant today. It was the funniest thing to see! He was standing on his front legs, one leg lifted in the normal position and he raised the other off the ground too. When we got back I got them all dried off. Kota was a very good girl for me and stood still until I was finished. She went right in her cage and wasn't too interested in eating anything today.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

I switched with your mom this morning since traffic was bad due to the fog. I came and let everyone out for the morning. When they came back in this time it was Buddy that was trotting around with the little white teddy bear! I gave them all their pills, but had to work with Buddy a little. He sure didn't want anything this morning! I tried cheese first, then turkey, then bread. He took one pill with the bread then turned his nose at the others. So finally I grabbed one of the little pigz-in-blanket treats. I broke a little piece off and shoved the pills in there. He gingerly took it, but at least he finally ate it! I sat with them for a little bit and Sugar left and went to the door and started barking. I guess she had to go out again! No one wanted to go back in their cage today! Sugar and Jimmy both came in and sat in the blanket at the end of the bed. I picked them up and then they went in ok. Buddy was sitting on the couch guarding his treat. I tried to bribe him with another one, but he sure wasn't too happy with me! I was able to get him down off the couch so I could grab his treat, then he came willingly! lol
