Zeus, Baxter & Zelda

This morning Zelda was sunning herself on the sidewalk again. I said hi to her quick before going to see the boys. When I called for them they both came running! I let them go potty and play around out there while I watered the plants. When I was finished, they both came over for their attention. It was pretty comfortable out this morning, so we spent the whole time outside. The boys laid down and rested next to me in the shade and enjoyed the nice breeze. As we were heading inside, I noticed there was a little green frog in the pool. I was going to touch him to see if he was alive and he quickly dove to the bottom! I was going to get him out, but couldn't get to him anymore... Zelda had moved to a spot in the shade from my car when I was leaving. I stopped to pet her a little more before I left. When I pulled up tonight Zelda was lounging out in the yard close by the mailbox.  She pretty much stayed out in the front lawn the whole time I was visiting.  The boys were happy to see me when I walked inside and eager to get outside to go potty.  It didn't take too long for the heat to hit them though and they wanted to come back in.  Baxter was really playful tonight, I went into the living room and we were playing around. Then Zeus came jogging up and layed down on his back and started wrestling around with us, it was pretty cute.  We spent most of the time playing around inside but before leaving I went outside with them again so they had some more time to do their business.  I gave some attention to Zelda out in the front lawn. She was in the same place out front as when I pulled in and stayed there as I left, just keeping an eye on the neighborhood. :)

Pippin

This afternoon Pippin was sitting at the top of the stairs when I came to see him. He rolled over on his side and started wagging his tail right away. I went up and carried him down to take him outside so he could go potty. He was a good boy! He did his business right away, then headed back to the door. After I carried him upstairs, he walked over to the couch and whined a little. I put him up on the couch and he crawled up to his perch to look out the window for mom and dad! This evening Pippin was waiting for me again. We took a nice little walk and he went potty for me. When we got back he ran into the bedroom to get a drink. Then he went over and sniffed at my things on the floor. I'm sure he could smell other puppies! He came over to me and I set him on the couch again. I sat with him and pet him for a long time. He got a couple treats today too!

Gracie

This morning Gracie was watching out her window when I came to see her. She ran right to the back door for me and went outside. We sat out there for awhile until Gracie was ready to go back in and cool down. She ran to her chair and curled up. I brought over her food bowl in case she was hungry. She did a funny little thing with her nose! She kept rubbing her nose on either side of the bowl and would nudge her food down. My dog does the same thing when she's trying to bury her bone! I sat with her for awhile and pet her. Tonight Gracie came running into the living room from the bedroom. She waited at the back door for me. I let her out first so she could go potty before I came out with her. She curled up in a patio chair so we stayed outside for a bit. When we came in, I pet her while she napped on her favorite chair. I brought her another treat to work on for the night before I left.
