Dakota & Benny

This afternoon Kota was telling me stories! She woo-wooed at me the whole time we were getting ready to go. She found all kinds of fun stuff to play with on our walk today. We saw a kid's winter hat on the ground, which she scooped up and tossed in the air! Later, we came across another one. Somewhere there are little kids running around without their hats! Benny was busy keeping an eye on the big blow up Christmas decorations floating around in the wind. Benny's stool looked much better today. Kota went too and hers was normal. This evening we played out in the backyard. Kota gave me a big hug and lots of kisses! Benny made a big lap around the yard and came back with a wrench in his mouth. I thought it was real at first, but then saw the little paw print on the side! I tossed that for him a few times. Kota was zooming around having a blast. Then she found something under the shed that caught her attention. I'm not sure what it was, but she sure wanted to get it! She didn't even want to come back inside. Benny snuggled up with me for awhile and got a good back scratching.

Buckwheat

Little Buckwheat was sleeping soundly this morning all curled up on his bed. When he woke up he started wiggling around with excitement right away! He rolled over for a quick belly rub, then got up for a couple big stretches. He was running down the hall with me and waited at his post for me to pick him up. After his morning treats we snuggled up in his chair. As soon as I sat down he stood up against the chair and gave me a look like, "Can I come up?". He was nice and cozy warm on my lap. This afternoon Buckwheat was ready for his dinner! I got him up from his little cave and he followed me to the fridge, keeping an eye on his yummy food. After dinner he went outside and decided to hang out there for a little.bit. He sat down in the grass and barked at something, then looked to make sure I was still there. When he came back in he was dancing around at my feet! After a nice long back scratching I waved goodbye and told him I'd be back later. Tonight Buckwheat emerged from under the bed with the biggest ears! All the hair on his ears were standing straight up and out. Then he ran down the hall and they appeared to be floating; it was the cutest, funniest thing! He hopped around after me and got down on his front legs again when he came inside like he wanted to play... but not really. He's so funny! Next he ran over to his chair and barked, ready to be picked up and pet!

Can I come up?

Ginger, Scout, Tiger & Scotch

This afternoon the pups were all barking in the window when they saw I had arrived! They each said hi, then it was off to the backyard. Ginger came over and stood against my legs for some attention. As soon as everyone was finished, it was time for a walk! Tiger came in and wanted treats, but got even more excited when I opened the drawer. They all gathered around me and waited their turn to get all hooked up! Then everyone was scrambling towards the door. After we got back home they each got a couple treats.

I heard welcome barks as I opened my car door this evening. As I turned the corner, all three met me at the gait with wagging tails! I opened up the gate, but then all three disappeared back into the kitchen! Ginger kept making trips back and forth, as if she was trying to get Tiger and Scout to come outside with her! I went back in with Ginger and finally Tiger decided to go outside. Then Ginger and I went back in to get Scout, who finally followed us outside! I think all three were not too excited about the cool air! We did not stay long outside; Scout was the last one out and the first one to head back inside! Tiger and Ginger ran around a little bit, but then both waited patiently to get in! As usual, Tiger ran right to the treat cupboard and the other two followed! Tonight, the three of them were a little picky; we tried three different treats and finally the chewy bacon treat won! I went out and greeted Scotch, who was laying in his bed. A fresh bowl of water and some scratches made Scotch very happy! Back inside, it didn't take too long for the three of them to get cozy in their beds. Goodnight gang! See you tomorrow morning!
