Ladybug, Boomer, Bella & Bo

The babies started barking when they heard me coming inside. They jumped around until I let them out, so I could get Ladybug and Boomer out too. When I came back they were ready to go inside. They all ran in and headed for the ice bowl! I decided to give them the stuffed bones to see how they did with those. Ladybug was fine, but little miss Bella was being a sassy girl anytime someone walked by her! So I put them back on the counter before I left. This afternoon I came in and Bella was out of the kitchen! Your family was there taking care of the plants, so I thought maybe thats how she got out. While they were outside I gave them the two stuffed rawhides to chew on since they'd have some supervision this time. Tonight I let everyone go out potty quick. Ladybug, Boomer and I decided to go for a nice long walk while the puppies played. Boomer is a good little guard dog! It was getting to be pretty dark out and a guy was walking out to his car. Boomer got upset and didn't take his eyes off him! When we got home Ladybug and Boomer got to join the puppies in the backyard for awhile before I tucked everyone in for the night.

Dakota & Benny

This morning they had a little energy to burn. I got them hooked up and opened the front door as we were getting ready to leave. They both started freaking out and it scared the crap outta me! haha! There was a black cat sitting on the front porch and they wanted to go get him! I waited until it ran away before I opened the glass door. As soon as they got out they were pulling, trying to go after him. Eventually they lost interest and we were able to get going. We took another nice long walk today! They both got a comment on how beautiful they were by someone walking to their car. Kota ate some breakfast when we got home. After I gave Benny his allergy pill I tossed his ball for him and gave him a good back scratch. This afternoon it got very hot out, so we played out in the backyard for a little bit. They both sat under the tree in the shade. Kota rolled around like a silly little girl! Kota was ready to go back inside pretty soon and they were both panting pretty well. We played inside again and ran around. Tonight I let Kota out and she was telling me she wanted another walk! There was a nice breeze out so we went for a nice long walk again. There were several dogs out tonight playing in their front yards. When we were about half way through, I saw a dog and his owners turn onto our path about a block ahead. Kota and Benny picked up the trail as soon as we got to it and boy were they on a mission! Kota was weaving back and forth, frantically smelling the ground! Benny was so interested in trying to find that dog that he didn't even care about his usual houses. They were both very tired when we got home. I gave Kota her supper and Benny his pill. Kota had to take a break from eating and rest a few minutes before she finished.

Zeus, Baxter and Zelda

I saw Zelda sitting out front on the sidewalk in the shade this morning. I got out and she started meowing at me! I said hi to her for a little while before going inside. The boys were sleepyheads this morning! Zeus came to the door after I called for them. I let him out then went to look for Baxter. He was sleeping under one of the beds, so I had to get him to come out with me. I watered the plants while Zeus was following close behind me. When I finished we sat in the shade on the patio. I got some of Baxter's itchies for him! I rubbed Zeus's ears and he let out a little grunt and leaned into my hand like, "That feels good!". Tonight Zelda was laying in the driveway when I pulled up. The neighbor dachschund was outside too and he looked like he wanted to come say hi! The boys were barking at me, ready to go back in the house. I headed through the garage and saw them run to the door. They ran in and laid on the cool tile floor. I added some water to the pool tonight while I pet the boys. When I was leaving I stopped to pet Zelda for awhile. She still hadn't moved from her spot!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan


Toby heard me coming today and barked until I opened the door. We went out in the backyard to play for a little bit. I tossed his tennis ball for him, then he spent some time exploring. It was a little too hot to go for a walk today and he sure didn't want to go. He was panting pretty good just from being in the backyard and cooled himself off on the tile floor. We ran around inside for awhile too. He was playing 'keep away' with me. He even scooped up one of my shoes and was teasing me with that! He was like, "haha I have your shoe!" and he'd put it down until I got close. Then he'd pick it up and run some more! He got tired again and sprawled out on the kitchen floor while I pet the kitties for awhile.


Ralphi, Roxie and Rudy

Everyone was already outside when I came this morning. I got their breakfast ready right away for them and gave them some water. Rudy was done first, so he was ready to play some fetch! Ralphi was concerned that he would miss out, so he took breaks from his food to see what was going on. I waited until everyone was finished before we played. There was a rawhide out back, so Ralphi had that and didn't let go! Since he was occupied with that, Rudy and I actually got to throw the stub of the log around for a long time. Roxie helped him chase it a few times, but she mostly came and rolled over by me for a tummy rub! The grass was covered in dew, so I wiped everyone down before we came inside. They all got their treats and went back to bed.
