Caleb

This morning I let Caleb outside right away, but he didn't want to go potty. He was already in play mode! I waited out there until he finally did, then he got his breakfast. He was ready for his walk when he finished, so I got his collar on and then we went on our way. We took a nice long walk this morning. Caleb found a couple dried up froggies on the ground and had to run over and smell them. Thankfully he didn't pick any up! There were all kinds of things for his sniffer today. He stopped by each garbage can that we passed, found a few dried up critters, and even a melty candy wrapper! There were also lots of other people out walking in the neighborhood today. When we got home we played for a little while before it was time to go. This afternoon, I came in through the garage instead because I brought the bin back inside. Caleb was anxious to see who was here! We went outside for awhile and I brushed him. He wanted to go back in, so we played fetch and keep-away with several of his toys. He grabbed one of my shoes today, but I just ignored him and redirected by playing with one of his toys. He immediately dropped the shoe and was only interested in the toy I had! We went back outside again and he roamed around the yard. He brought me another one of those pieces of cardboard or paper that he found in the yard like the day I met him. He dropped it for me and went back to exploring! He saw a bird on the other side of the fence and was just watching it. If there wasn't a fence there, I'm pretty sure he would've hunted it down! Later we played with his giant tennis ball out there. It was so hilarious! He was running, rolling himself over it, and trying to pick it up! As I was giving him his puzzle toy and putting him to bed, I told him mom would be home later. He was such a good boy for me!

Dakota & Benny

Kota was just yelling at me like crazy today when I came in! She hasn't woo-wooed at me like that in awhile... I guess she was happy to see me! I got them both hooked up and away we went. We took a pretty long walk today. The sun was warm, but the air wasn't quite as sticky, so Benny was able to go further. It was pretty quiet outside today. There were only a couple houses that had Benny's friends out in their backyards. So he tried chasing some cars instead! Kota wanted to go out in the backyard for a little bit when we got back home. Benny stayed inside this time and cooled off in the kitchen.
