Maycie & Luke

This morning after breakfast we all went out in the backyard to play. Luke was ready for his game of fetch! Maycie took his ball this morning and had him chasing around again. When she was making a circle around the pool a big black cricket hopped out in front of her. She immediately dropped the ball, crouched down and followed it! It was pretty hot out this morning already, so even Luke took breaks on his own in the shade. I have been keeping their bowls outside filled with water since they are running around so much out there. I make Luke take it easy once in awhile too in this heat, otherwise I don't think he'd ever stop! Tonight we got some more fetch in. Maycie found a little stick that I threw for her too. Once in awhile she'd chase after Luke and grab at his ankles! After Luke got the ball, he made a couple big circles, drop his ball and started sniffing around like maybe he found something... but then he'd pick his ball back up and come trotting back for me to throw it again. Maycie was rolling around in the grass tonight. One time she laid down and her front half disappeared! She must have been checking out one of the holes out back.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon I let everybody out. Sugar and Buddy got a drink before coming outside. Jimmy spent most of the time in the corner by the storage bin. He sure knows there's something back there! Sugar sat out in the sun for a little bit, then moved under the tree for some shade. Poor Buddy's allergies seemed to be bothering him today. He kept itching and chewing at himself. He was coughing a little bit this afternoon too. Everyone spent some time over by me too before we all went back inside.
