Maggie & Moe

This afternoon the girls and I went outside right away. The girls did their usual chasing, then came to lay in the shade. Miss Moe kept laying in the empty pool to chew on her rawhide, while Maggie was busy trying to get it from her! We went in to get out of the heat and cool down. The girls were so full of energy! They were going back and forth with a tiny piece of rawhide almost the entire time. When Maggie would have it, Moe would grab on and tug on it to get it away from her. She'd give up for a little bit and zoom over to me to get her back scratched, then try again! After awhile Moe actually got it, then Maggie was tugging on it! Tonight the girls did some more chasing around in the dark out in the backyard. I don't know how they can see each other out there! Miss Moe took a little swim in her pool and laid in there for a few minutes. It was pretty nice out this evening. They laid out in the grass just where I could still see them. Moe got very wide-eyed and still like she was trying to hear something. I asked her what she was hearing, then she looked at me, barked, and dashed for Maggie! When we went in the girls both had some supper in between taking turns to snuggle with me.
Look! We're sharing!

Clovis, Snickers, Sophie & Patches

Patches was hanging out by the front door when I came today, just laying in the shade. He walked in the house while I got everyone's food ready. Clovis, Snickers and Sophie were all waiting out back for their supper! I grabbed Snickers and put him in the bathroom to eat. I went out to pet Clovis and Sophie while they ate. Patches came roaming around the corner when the others were just finishing up. They all stayed for some attention, then Clovis went off to give herself a bath, and Sophie went around front. I went in and spent some time with Snickers. He was just purring away! He talked to me and hopped up on the hamper while I pet him, then he let me know when he was finished and ready to go back out.

Caleb

Caleb was following me around the house when I got there today. We went outside to play for awhile. He fetched his ball for me a couple times, then lost interest in that. We played with a stick and he chewed it into little pieces! I got the hose all hooked up and we had fun with that again today. He chased after the spray then ran off with his squeaker toy. I turned the hose off and laid it down, then he decided he wanted that again! He went over to the hande, pawed at it and started to roll around on it! I stayed longer today to make up for the time we didn't play while mom was home, since he was so worried about you leaving without him! After you all left, Caleb ran laps around the yard carrying his blue bone as fast as he possibly could! I thought his little legs were going to fall out from under him! I turned the water misters on while we played. He stopped underneath the dripping from the ceiling to bite at the droplets. After he got all dried off we went inside. He ran around with my shoes again, little stinker! haha! I put some treats in his toy and we played with that a little before it was time to go.
Hmmm... how do I turn this thing on?!
