Dakota & Benny

Kota, Benny and I played out in the backyard for my visit. I threw the ball for Benny when he wasn't trying to play "keep away". He dodged me when I'd try to grab the ball so I had to wait until he wanted me to have it! He's so quick! Kota chased after it with him a few times and even ran up, crouched down on her front legs and stole the ball right from Benny's mouth! Kota ran up to me a lot and gave me big bear hugs. She sat under the tree for a little while and kept looking up at it, or maybe was smelling the air. I kept Kota entertained with a leaf I saw her playing with earlier... until she shredded it! She's so hilarious! They both settled down and laid in the grass for a little bit and enjoyed the beautiful weather! Kota and Benny both had some supper when we came inside.
"Ahhhh! The sun feels so good!"

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny definitely had some energy today! Kota was in running mode and Benny was barking and bouncing around for almost the first half of our walk today. Benny had to stop and bark at a plastic bag that was moving around in the breeze. He told it who's boss! The sun was out, so it had gotten pretty warm by this afternoon. Benny stopped under a tree in the shade for a little break. Kota was stopping to smell flowers that we passed by. Kota went both on our walk today and her stool was pretty normal. She did squat to pee a few times again too. When we got back Kota finished her food while Benny had a drink and rested on the cool tile floor. When she was done she just sat in her cage and I hadn't even told her to yet!

Taz

It was another nice morning, so Taz and I went for the long walk. Not a good day for allergies though! Both our allergies were bothering us, so I was sneezing and Taz was stopping to itch himself! There were a couple other dogs out walking along our route today. I made Taz sit and wait until they passed by and he did a good job. He got a little excited over one dog, but forgot all about him after they passed us. After we got back home, Taz and I played some fetch for awhile.
