Jasmine & Banjo

Tonight I didn't see the puppies sitting by the gate when I pulled up. I went in the backyard and around to the back of the house to find them just laying out in the grass. It is a little cooler this week, so I'm sure it's much more comfortable for them. They looked at me for a minute, then both ran for me as fast as they could to say hi! They followed me around as I scooped up the yard some more. They also ran a couple laps and chased after each other! As soon as I finished we went for our nice long walk. Jasmine likes to pick up everything! I took away a straw, a piece of a firework, a string and a few leaves. Banjo just keeps walking along, stopping every now and again to sniff at something. They both stopped to watch little kids running or skating by them. Jasmine kept in the lead again today, but always made sure to check that Banjo was still following along. I could tell little Banjo was getting tired on our way back home. Once we got back they each went to get a drink, then came running back to be pet some more.  

Tyler, Emma, Lacey & Luke

I think I startled everyone when I opened the door, because of the tape rubbing on the ground! I let everyone go outside potty right away. Tyler immediately grabbed the ball (or whatever that is haha) outside and pranced around with it! After they went potty they both laid down outside, so I let them hang out there while I got their lunch ready. Luke was sitting at the backdoor looking in at me. I opened the door to let him in a couple times and he'd just stand up and rub against the house. When I took Lacey out, then he came in. After everyone ate, we sat in the living room. Emma laid on the pillow by the fireplace, so I sat next to her. Then everyone else, even Luke came over to me to get pet! Tyler got up to get a drink of water, then one by one the rest lined up behind him at the water bowls. It was the funniest thing! Emma was very snuggly with me today. After she got her drink she came running back over to me and laid her head in my lap. Tyler came and laid his head on my leg and Lacey laid on my other side too. If I stopped petting Emma to pet someone else, she'd paw at me then scootch closer and lay across my lap again!

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were ready for their walk today! Benny was running circles around me while Kota was doing her woo-woos. We headed on our way, and we took one of our routes backwards this time. It was like a whole new world for them! haha! Benny was so excited he could barely stand it. Everyone had their dogs out today since it was much cooler than it's been, so Benny was happy about that too! He was getting so worked up every time we passed them, that even Kota started joining in the fun. Benny stopped in a shade spot to take a little rest, but Kota kept tugging like, "C'mon let's go!". When we got home Benny was pretty pooped, so he waddled over to me until he crashed in my lap. He got a nice backscratching! Kota hung out in her cage and would come out once in awhile to get hers, and to give me kisses.
