Maggie & Moe

We went out in the backyard to play this morning. Moe grabbed her blue rope and started to drag that in circles around the living room when I first came in! Once outside, Maggie and Moe began chasing each other right away. Maggie buried her rawhide again by the fence this morning. She sat down by it afterwards and guarded it for awhile. Then, she decided that wasn't a good spot and re-buried it in a new place! The girls were sleeping when I came in this afternoon! We went out to play for awhile. I threw some toys for them, but they weren't too interested. They just looked at it, then back at me! Maggie was off re-burying her bone once again. Moe decided to lay down and sun herself for most of the time! Tonight the girls were barking before I even came to the door. They came running when I got inside! We went out in the backyard to play. I threw a couple of their balls and Maggie went running after each one, but didn't bring it back! The little neighbor girl stood up against the fence and said hi. She wanted me to grab a couple of their pool toys they had accidently thrown over. I was going to grab the first one, and Maggie beat me to it! She ran around and played keep away from me! Silly girl. Maggie and Moe chased each other around again for awhile in between jumping on me and kissing my face! When we went inside again they both sprawled out on the cool tile floor. They really tired themselves out.
Ready... set... go!

Bear & Coco

They polished off another plate of food from last night. I had topped off the dry food too and there was a good dent in that this morning. I went in by Bear and she was fast asleep. She sat up when I talked to her, but it took a second for her to realize where I was! She walked over to me and I brushed her for awhile. Coco wasn't in her usual spot, but I found the green lump right away this morning! I touched the blanket and she meowed from underneath. I got her out so she could eat some breakfast. She ate a good amount for me and so did Bear. The plate from this morning was almost completely gone when I came this afternoon. I got a new one and brought it to Coco so she could eat her lunch. When Coco had enough, she hopped down and went to go get a drink. Bear was sleepy this afternoon and didn't even wake up when I called her! I brushed her for awhile before I left. Tonight the plate of food was all the way under the stand in the entryway! I guess someone was hungry! It was almost licked clean. I got another can of food opened and went to feed Coco, but she wasn't in her spot. I looked in the other areas and she wasn't there either. I even looked under those beds and she was still nowhere to be seen. She must have another hiding spot! So I brought the food over to Bear and brushed her for a long time.

Tyler, Emma, Lacey & Luke

Everyone was excited to go outside this morning! Luke came in while I was taking Emma and Lacey out. Lacey followed Emma and I around the yard after she had gone potty. While I was getting their breakfast ready, Luke was following me around the kitchen on the counter, looking for some attention! I pet him while their food was cooling down. Tyler was waiting patiently in the living room, sitting halfway on the chair. Once they all finished, we all sat in the living room and they got some attention. Lacey had wandered off into the hallway by the laundry room and I heard some noises. I got up to see what she was up to, and she had just hopped over the baby gate into the bedroom!! This afternoon Lacey was still in the bedroom when I came, so maybe that was just a one-time thing. Emma was exploring the yard a little bit when I took her out. Lacey waited until I took Tyler to come outside. After I fed everyone we sat in the living room. Emma curled up by the fireplace and took a nap. Tyler was laying next to me chewing on a bone and Lacey came and sat in my lap for awhile. Luke even came in for some attention too! Everyone was pretty sleepy this afternoon. Eventually Tyler laid on his side and closed his eyes and Lacey rolled over and fell asleep while I pet her belly. They all did great for me this weekend!

Sammy, Gracie, Molly & Shelby

Today everyone greeted me at the door again. They knew who I was this time and didn't bark very long at all! We all went in the living room and sat on the couch. Sammy and Molly ran up on the couch and laid on either side of me. Gracie climbed up to the back of the couch and sat on my shoulders, attacking me with her tongue! haha! She slid down and squeezed between Molly and Sammy into my lap. They got their tummies rubbed again today for a long time. Shelby curled up by the end of the couch and everyone fell asleep for awhile. If I stopped petting anyone to pet someone else, they'd wake up and give me the "why are you stopping?" look! Gracie would also sit up and start licking my face. They didn't want me to leave! I had to peel each one off of me. I gave them all a treat before I left for being such good puppies!!
