Dakota & Benny Cont'd

Tonight when I got out of the car there was a little black kitty in the driveway! It was itching it's face on the front of my car! Benny heard me coming and started barking. He tried to take his ball outside with him again tonight, so I had to grab it before they went out. He's getting really good at rolling it to me from across the room with his nose! Kota and I played around a little bit, then she decided to chase after Benny! She rolled around and played with him while he was trying to protect his ball. He wandered over to eat some of her food that was on the floor, and as payback she stole his ball. I threw the ball for her a bunch of times and she'd bounce over to me to have me do it again!

Harvi, Porthos & Athos

The boys met me at the door tonight. They said hi to me for awhile and I gave them some attention. You were right! Not too long after, they were telling me they wanted to go outside. They would run towards the garage, then run back to me if I didn't follow them. Harvi was patiently waiting by her bowl for supper. She had a little dry food in there yet, but she ate that all along with what I gave her tonight. After I fed everyone I let the boys go explore for the night! When I was leaving, Athos was hanging out by my car. He took off after I came outside. Porthos must have bolted right away because he was nowhere in sight!
Is it time to go outside now?

Raven, Joe Friday, Murdock & Bunny

This morning Joe Friday was waiting for me at the top of the stairs. Raven was snuggled up in the slide bed and Bunny was in her corner. After doing my duties, I went over to say hi to Bunny. She was letting me scratch her chin for awhile, but when she'd had enough, she ran under the slide. After I left her alone, she eventually meandered to her corner again. I said hi to Joe Friday and Raven for a little while, then went down to see Murdock. I called him and he came right out for me! He started rolling around the floor again and came over to get his chin scratched.

Zeus, Baxter & Zelda

Zeus and Baxter were ready to go outside when I got there today. Shortly after I walked in, Miss Zelda came to me. I put her out so she could eat her breakfast. The boys stayed outside for a little bit. When the boys came back in, Zeus wanted his ears rubbed again! He came over and rubbed his head on my leg. After seeing that, Baxter started in on it too! Miss Zelda came back in and said hi to me for awhile before I had to leave.


Webster

Webster was a lot happier when I came in this afternoon! He came right up to me and was dancing around excitedly. He was still a little cautious at first, but that went away shortly. He didn't really eat much of his food from yesterday. Maybe next time he will when he's more comfortable with me and knows a friend is coming to play when mom and dad leave! We went outside for most of my visit since it was pretty nice out. I tossed his tennis ball a few times for him. I would've thrown it more, but he didn't want to give it to me! We came back inside and I had him do a few tricks for me, in exchange for some treats. He sat by me pretty much the entire time I was with him and got back scratches and tummy rubs! When I'd stop he would put his head back and look at me upside down just like my puppy does!

Remy & Frankie

Remy was sitting in the window when I pulled up today. He was hiding behind the couch when I came in, and just peeked around the corner at me for awhile. I checked their food and they didn't finish all of what I had given them yesterday, so they should be fine. I had spread it out into all 4 bowls so it would take them longer to eat. Remy took off into the bedroom after I came out of the kitchen. I called for him, but he just didn't want to! Frankie took me up on the offer though! He came out, walked right up to me and started rubbing his head in my hand. He stayed out by me for quite awhile and got lots of attention!



Dakota & Benny

Kota & Benny were happy to see me this morning. They weren't quite as hyper as they were last night. They went outside, then came in and had some breakfast. I brought in one of Benny's toys for us to play with while Kota finished. Kota made a big mess again by digging through her food for the good stuff, but Benny cleaned it up for her! She came and sat by me to get pet for awhile after she was done. This afternoon Benny was all wound up again! He started running laps around the house as soon as I walked in. It was pretty nice out when we walked, a little cloudy but on the warmer side. We went for a nice walk and they got pretty tired out towards the end. Kota did have some soft stool today.

Moose, Timber, Mick & Taki

Taki met me at the door this morning and was talking away. He helped me let the dogs out. I was rinsing off the spoon I used after getting their breakfast ready, and Taki came up to get a drink from the faucet. Moose didn't have any interest in his own food this morning. He kept trying to sneak over to get Timber's! Mick and Taki raced each other up the stairs when I was heading up to give Taki his breakfast. I sat in Moose's room while I gave the dogs attention this morning. Taki came to join us and was checking himself out in the mirror! This afternoon I let all the dogs stay outside for awhile since it was sort of nice out. Moose started teasing Timber, so I let her and Mick back inside. Taki raced me upstairs and helped me clean out his litter box. When we came back down Moose wanted to come back inside. Mick was busy going in and out of Moose's cage and eating his food. Taki hung out on the back of the chair and tried swatting at the dogs as they passed by. Since it was my last visit for the day, I gave them all another rawhide!
