Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Mattie seemed to be feeling a little better tonight. I helped her up once to go outside and she did the rest on her own. Jimmy made her fall down once outside because he was so excited, jumping in her path, giving her kisses and running circles around her! Oopsie! She went over to the bucket out there to have a drink, then laid down for awhile. She threw up a little bit of undigested food tonight while she was out there, so I think her tummy's pretty upset right now. After that she didn't want to take her pills in cheese for me. I can't blame her! I gave them to her in treats and she really didn't want those too much either. Miss Sugar snuggled up under the blanket on the couch tonight. Jimmy hopped up with her for awhile too. Buddy didn't cough at all this evening, so I think he's doing pretty good so far!

This afternoon I stopped by to check on everyone. I tried to get Mattie up to go outside, but she didn't feel like it. She just kept rolling over so I'd pet her tummy! I let the little ones inside while I was there. Buddy still hasn't coughed again since that one time this morning. I gave Mattie her lunch and she ate all of it for me. I also gave her a Tramadol, since she's been having trouble getting up last night and this morning. I let the kiddos back outside for the afternoon.
Jimmy wanted to share with Mattie!

Dakota & Benny

Benny was running around the living room carrying an orange ball today. When I walked over to let Kota out, he stood up on his hind legs holding his toy! It was so cute. Kota likes to hop up in the chair and lean over the back now while I'm getting Benny's leash hooked on, and she woo-woos down at me. We had a nice walk today. It was really nice out, and there were big fluffy clouds that gave us a break every now and then from the sun getting the pups too hot. Kota and Benny were Robin hunters today! They kept spotting birds and tried to creep up, then pounce at them! Kota tried to catch a couple bugs that flew by too. Kota had diarrhea today... She also squatted to pee a several times and she usually doesn't do that. It may be nothing, but just something I noticed.

Buddy coughed once this morning when I first came in, but he didn't any more after that. I helped Mattie up to go outside. She sat her whole rear end down to go potty, so she got a little wet. She stayed out there for a little bit, but did come back inside on her own. I got a towel and dried her off.  I gave them all their meds this morning, and I did give Buddy his Temaril P. Mattie didn't want to take her Deramaxx pill even though I wrapped it in cheese, so I mixed it in with her food. She ate well for me this morning, and even seemed to be excited when I brought the bowl over to her. Last night after I left I know she ate some dry food. I had left a bowl over by her and it was topped off. This morning I noticed that she had made a decent dent in it. I left the little ones outside this morning since it was so nice out already.
