Maycie & Luke

This morning Maycie and Luke didn't even bark when I came in. We went outside to play for awhile. Maycie went out to a corner of the yard and was exploring, while I was playing fetch with Luke. She helped him chase after the ball for awhile, and even got it a couple times! She found a stick in the yard so I threw that for her a little too. They came inside and had their breakfast this morning before I left. This afternoon Maycie helped Luke chase after the ball almost the whole visit. He looks like one of those frisbee dogs the way he jumps and twists in the air! She chased after him a couple times and tried biting the back of his legs. Later, the neighbor dogs were out and Maycie was running back and forth along the fence with them and trying to look under the fence. Tonight Maycie was a little sassy with Luke! She was growling at him and biting at his back legs when we were going out the door! She did that a few more times when he was running after the ball. Luke couldn't find the ball a couple times, but he did a good job of tracking it in the dark! By the time I decided to go out and help him look for it, he'd have it already. Maycie explored around the yard a little, far out enough that I couldn't see her in the dark. Then all of a sudden, there would be a flash of white flying right toward me!

Dakota & Benny

I let Kota and Benny go outside right away tonight. I threw the ball for them when Benny would give it up for me. Kota decided to play with a branch of leaves that had fallen out of the tree. She tossed it around for herself and pawed at it a few times! Someone was mowing the field behind the house, so Benny was going crazy! He was barking and running along the fenceline every time it came close. He was too concerned with that to play fetch anymore! Haha! When the mower came right up to the fence Kota helped Benny out. Kota went potty while we were out back and it was somewhat formed, but still on the soft side. Benny was so worried about protecting his yard from the evil lawnmower, that he didn't want to come inside!

Taz

Taz was sleeping in his house this morning when I came to see him. I had to call him to get him to come out! It was raining this morning, so we just went for the medium walk and spent the rest of the time playing fetch. I think I actually tired him out throwing the ball! He couldn't find it once, so I went and got it for him. Then later, he didn't seem to be interested in going after it anymore.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

I let the boys out right away this morning. Sugar just went and hid under the bed. Buddy and Jimmy were searching around the patio for something. Buddy climbed all over everything and tried to pick up the doggie bed in the corner. It started raining pretty good, so they didn't get to stay out all morning. After I gave the boys their meds, I got Sugar out of hiding with a treat and had her go outside quick. She came in and sat in Buddy's usual spot on the top of the couch with a rawhide. When I was rounding them up to put them to bed, Jimmy grabbed a rawhide and was tossing it around for himself!
