Baxter, Zues & Zelda

This morning I saw a little furry thing in the bushes! Zelda was snoozing under one of the bushes by the sidewalk. I walked over by her and she started to meow, but stayed all curled up in her comfy spot. After I pet her for awhile I let the boys out. Zeus was waiting, but I had to go get Baxter out from under the bed. Sleepy boy! Zeus was drinking out of the pool today. I tried to get him to stop, but had no luck. He sticks his whole face in there and blows bubbles with his nose while he's drinking! I guess the pool water tastes better than the two fresh bowls they get every morning? haha! Zelda was still sleeping in her spot when I went to say goodbye to her. Zelda was sunbathing in the driveway when I pulled in again this afternoon.  I spent a little time with her before going to let the boys in.  They were excited to see me and to get inside.  Zeus layed down in his usual spot in the entry way by the food and water where I sat by him for a while.  Baxter would come over when I called for him and snuggle up to me for a little bit before walking off.  We went back outside for a couple minutes before leaving and they got their treats that were laying in back from the neighbor.  I spent some more time giving Zelda some attention outside before leaving. 

Ladybug, Boomer, Bella & Bo

This morning the babies were wrestling around with each other all the way to the back door. Ladybug and Boomer were happy to get outside too. Boomer hopped right into my lap, then Ladybug squished her way on too. Ladybug gets a little jealous sometimes when I talk to or pet the others! I came back earlier today to let everyone back in because it was pretty hot and humid out. I got them a nice big bowl of ice. Ladybug and Bo crunched away on that while Boomer and Bella got working on their breakfast. This afternoon we played out for a little while before going back inside for them to cool off. Bo found two little juice bottles on the ground and started playing with them. He picked them up and carried them off somewhere! It was too hot to do much, so they all just laid in the shade after awhile. Tonight there was a nice breeze out and it had cooled down some. The puppies played out back while Ladybug, Boomer and I went for a nice long walk. A couple little chihuahuas came running to say hi to them! I could tell Boomer was getting tired since he started to hang back a little. When we got inside he and Ladybug both laid down on the cool floor while I let the babies inside.

Dakota & Benny

Kota, Benny and I went for a nice walk today. It was pretty hot and humid out, but that didn't discourage them from getting excited to go! We slowed down and took short little breaks in the shady spots when we could, so Benny didn't get too hot. When we got home we played out in the backyard for a few minutes before they were ready to go back in. I got them a big bowl of ice cubes. Kota would grab one out and bring it into the living room. She crunched it into maybe 5 or 6 pieces, then decided she wanted a new one! She laid on her side to chew on them. I tossed a few of the pieces at her and she'd flip them back in the air to me. She's so funny! I brought one of Benny's balls inside so I could throw it for him. He sat by me and got his back scratched for a long time too, of course while not letting go of his ball!
