Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Buddy and Jimmy were already outside when I got there this afternoon. Dee had already given them a bunch of lovin' this morning! The boys came in and said hi to us both for a bit. She helped me get Sugar out from her hiding place under the bed and outside. Then i looked for Jimmy's collar. It was nice and warm out today so they got to spend the afternoon playing outside! Little miss Sugar was sitting at the gate waiting for me as I pulled in. So cute! They all got excited and ran back and forth between the back door and the gate. We stayed outside for a little longer since it was still so nice out! Jimmy and Buddy were busy searching in and around things for critters. Sugar headed inside and went to her favorite spot. The boys came in with me and waited in the kitchen for their potatoes! Sugar came out when she heard they were ready. After their meds, Buddy worked on supper and Jimmy snuggled up with me. I gave Charlie some fresh water and it sounded like he said, "Thank you!". The pups all got their snacks before it was time to go to bed.

Louis & Susie


Both Louis and Susie met me at the door this afternoon! They both took turns jumping, sniffing and kissing me! They ran around the deck, to the grass and back again as I filled their water and food dishes! Louis stayed to eat, while Susie and I went out to the grass to enjoy the sun. She sat down and put her paws up on my lap, while I scratched her belly! Susie is such a sweet girl! I took a close up of her, while she was getting some love and attention! Louis then came out and ran around the yard, talking to us with his low, little bark! Then he got really excited and started his low, loud barking! Susie took her turn at eating, and when her brother came over, she told him, with her little growl, to go away; he already had his turn! So, Louis and I went back to the grass to run around. I grabbed the soccer ball and threw it around the yard, but I was the only one playing! They would pretend like they were going to get it and then run right by it! We had a blast today! I gave each a few more scratches and said goodbye and sleep well!


Baxter & Bailey

This morning the boys were snoozing away so innocently! Bailey was on the chair in the corner and Baxter was on his bed. Nothing was chewed up today! Two of the blankets I had picked up had wandered their way outside though. I picked them up and put them on the washer since they got a little grassy. The boys and I stayed inside to play. Baxter and Bailey had some fun wrestling around for awhile! Then one of them would jump in my lap for safety! Later Bailey went out and brought in a toy to play with while Baxter got his back scratched. This evening I came inside and the boys were nowhere to be found! I walked out in the backyard and found them both on the side of the house saying hi to the neighbor dogs! As soon as they saw me they both came running over. I've been trying to work on keeping Bailey from jumping up, but he sure is a puppy and just wants to give kisses! We headed inside and Bailey wasted no time trying to jump in my lap. He's a little big for that! Haha! Then they both started messing around with each other again until they pooped themselves out! Eventually I had two sleepy pups at my feet. Baxter got up and sat by me while he could, to get his back scratched. Then Bailey would wake up and want some love too! Baxter and I took a little one-on-one time outside since Bailey was so full of energy. He's been very good though! Nothing was torn up or out of place this visit. I gave them each another treat before I left.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy & JR

This afternoon the pups were excited to get outside! They all raced to the back door. I noticed Bootsie was a little lump under the blankets on the bed as I passed by. Surprisingly, no one jumped in the pool right away. They all ran for their tree and sat under it. Then, they would move on to the next one or race to the back of the fence whenever they saw a bird or squirrel! Chloe eventually decided to take a dip in the pool. Then of course, like any dog would do, she had to roll around in some dirt! Tizzy came running and jumped up into my lap for some attention. JR came over next and got himself a drink. He kept looking into the pool like he was going to jump in, but just couldn't do it. Buck tested the water and only got his feet wet. He decided it wasn't just right, so then he came to sit next to me for a back scratch. Several times, Tizzy and JR were fighting over who got to sit in my lap by trying to push each other off! They would run over and leap into my lap and each try to crawl up higher than the other. I was laughing so hard! Then Chloe came and started singing at me. When it was time we headed in and they all went right to their room to wait for their treat! Chloe stole one of the baby's bones out of their kennel until I collected them all for the peanut butter. Through all the commotion, Bootsie was making his way upstairs, probably to go soak up some nice warm sunlight!

Sophie & Roxy

I said hi to the little girls at the gate today, then headed inside. It was nice and sunny out, so we decided o hang around outside. I sat in the grass where the sunlight was hitting, and the girls came and tackled me! They are so funny! Roxy was full of energy today. She was rolling around in the grass and throwing herself across my lap like Sophie usually does! Later she initiated some playful wrestling with Sophie. The girls took turns rolling around in my lap and getting their tummies rubbed! Later they relaxed and sprawled out in the sun with their rear legs straight back behind them. As soon as the neighbor dogs came out, they were up and at the fence saying hi. When it was time to go I went in and got their treats. Roxy snuck in with me and was searching the ceiling for her light. Sophie stood up against the screen door and peered in like, "Hey, what about me?!".
