Dakota & Benny

We went for a nice long walk this morning before it got hot out! There were lots of birds out sitting in the dewey grass, so Kota and Benny were quite the bird hunters today! When we got home I gave them extra time to eat their breakfast. Kota ate most of her food for me. I gave Benny his allergy pill while he was waiting for his food. This afternoon it was way too hot and humid out, so we played in the backyard for a little while. I threw the ball for Benny. Kota was ready to go back inside within a short period of time. We went inside and I tossed Benny's ball some more. Then, we started chasing each other around the living room! Kota would jump up and try to stop me by grabbing onto me with her front paws. She sometimes would go the opposite way to head Benny and I off, then other times she would come the same way and zoom past us! Tonight it had cooled off a bit so we went for another nice long walk after I watered the plants. They were both pretty happy about that. Kota was busy hunting birds and stopping to watch them fly over her. Benny did his usual taunting of the dogs that were stuck in their backyards! haha! Kota got to meet some new people today. A couple was leaving their house and commented on how gorgeous she was! Then they came over to pet her. Benny did very well too. I kept him close by my side and he didn't even bark at them. There was a new house that had some little dogs in their yard this evening. Kota and Benny both went crazy! They were getting so excited over it that they almost started to get too sassy with each other. They were pretty wiped out when we got home. They both crashed on the tile floor to cool down for a bit. I gave Benny his allergy pill while Kota had a little supper before bedtime.

Ladybug, Boomer, Bella & Bo

The babies were excited to get outside this morning. After I let Ladybug and Boomer out of their crates they zoomed around the living room once before they ran outside! Ladybug hopped up on the table to say hi to me and gave me lots of kisses. I came by later to let them back inside and give them their breakfast. I filled their bowl of ice cubes and they all ran for it at the same time! This afternoon we went and played outside for a little while. It was pretty hot and humid out, so we spent some time together inside too. I gave them each one of the rawhides that was on the counter. Not even a few minutes later I had to confiscate them again! The girls were getting sassy at each other over them. Tonight it had cooled off a little, so we played outside some more. Boomer hopped right in my lap and sat with me for awhile. Ladybug tried coming up too and it got a little crowded! The babies were meandering around the yard, waiting for the occasional golf cart to pass by. Another golf ball hit the roof while I was there! It bounced off and hit the neighbor's roof too. Everyone went to bed nicely for me and I gave them each their treat before I tucked them in.

Everyone just relaxing after playing hard!

Zeus, Baxter & Zelda


This morning I let the boys out right away when I got there. I had to look for Baxter and get him to come out from under a bed to go out! I went out front to start watering the plants. I noticed Zelda was laying out on the sidewalk, just soaking up some sun. Zeus followed me around while I did the plants in the backyard. I got their food out and made sure they had two water bowls outside today. When I was leaving, the boys were watching me through the gate. Zelda was lounging in the driveway again this afternoon when I got there. She ran into the garage but once I opened it up she came right up to me and I gave her some attention for a little bit. The boys were eager to get back inside. They ran right in when I opened the back door. Zues was laying flat out on the tile by their food and water pretty much the entire time. I sat next to him and gave him lots of attention and Baxter would occasionally come up and get some lovin too. Before I left Baxter went in one of the bedrooms and hid out under a bed and Zues was still laying on the cool tile. I gave Zelda some attention outside in the driveway before I left, she didn't want to go back into the garage.
