Dakota & Benny

I let Kota and Benny out as soon as I got there this morning. Kota had a little soft stool. It was raining pretty hard all morning, so they had to get completely rubbed down! Benny kept sneaking his toys outside so I went out and grabbed a couple of them. I gave Benny his meds. I used the cheese again and he took it first try. I didn't do anything differently, so I guess he was just being sneaky yesterday! haha! Kota ate a bunch for me again this morning. This afternoon the rain had slowed, but now everything was very drenched. Kota got more muddy than Benny; he was mostly just wet. I fed Kota again and while she worked on that, Benny and I played fetch. He would only bring the ball so close to me. Then when he was ready, he'd roll it the rest of the way to me! He's pretty good at catching it right away. Kota made a mess of her food on the floor, so Benny went over to help her clean up... and she sure didn't like that! Benny and I played some more, and then I noticed Kota was tasting the pieces on the floor. I guess she only wanted the ones that had the canned food on them. Then all of a sudden she picked one piece up and tossed it in the air! She chased after it and started tossing it around some more. Silly girl! I put her food up before I left, because after I put her to bed Benny would go over by it and she'd get upset.

Kota watching her kibble so it doesn't escape...

Sadie, Chloe & Patches

Unfortunately it was pouring all morning, so Sadie had to stay in again today. This morning she didn't even want to go outside period! I went out to get her to come with me. After she got out there, she quickly went potty and came right back. Once inside, she started bouncing around and crouching down on all fours in a playful mood! As soon as I sat down she was plastered to my side, rolled over on her back. She got plenty of belly rubs this morning! Then I saw Chloe staring at us from the hallway. I called her and she came over and started rolling around too. Sadie kept trying to crawl over my lap to get to my other hand, so she could have me all to herself! Chloe stuck around to get some attention this morning until I had to go. This afternoon the rain slowed to a misty sprinkle, so Sadie went outside for me. She hurriedly did her business and came right back inside. I didn't see Chloe or Patches this afternoon, so Sadie had me all to herself again. She gave me lots of kisses while I pet her. If I stopped for a split second, she'd lick my chin and inch closer to me as if to say, "Hello, I'm still here!". Sometimes she would put her paw on my shoulder or paw at my hands. I gave her one last treat before I left. They will be happy that you will all be home today!
