Mia

This morning Mia was watching out the front window for me. As soon as she saw my car, she started doing her little dance! I got her leash on and we went for a long walk right away this morning. We heard a couple dogs barking along the way, so Mia began to whimper, wanting to go play with them. After we got home, we sat on the patio. She wanted to stay outside for the morning. It was simply gorgeous out this afternoon! I found Mia napping on the patio. Once I opened the door, she came running in and was ready to go! So, we went for another long walk this afternoon. Mia got to spend the rest of the day outside, enjoying the nice weather. This evening the wind had picked up and it was getting cooler out. When I let Mia inside, she went straight to her bed and curled up. I sat with her and scratched her belly for a bit. Then, I asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go for a walk?" She popped right up and ran into the living room. We went for a shorter walk this evening since it was a little chilly with the wind. During one big gust, Mia stopped me and I gave her a big hug and kiss on the head. When we got home I got Mia her dinner and a treat.


Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This morning Bootsie was all curled up on one of the doggie beds. The pups all ran out and waited for me at the door. They all ran to the back of the yard to say hi to their doggie friends. JR hopped in the trailer and tried to get a closer look into the tree. To get out, he sprung high up in the air! Buck found his little skunk toy and was carrying that around this afternoon. For my second visit, the pups raced out again, as excited as the first! They spent most of their time racing back and forth between the two trees closest to the house, on either side. Buck was having a blast rolling around in a leaf pile! Tizzy had found something interesting by the fence and began to dig. I yelled for her to stop, so she came running over to me. Everyone got excited then, and they all surrounded me, each trying to get my attention! We headed inside just in time for the lawn guys to arrive. They waited in the kitchen while I got their second round of peanut butter ready.


Gracie & Jack

This evening I could hear the dogs in the back as I made my way to the door. They both came barreling in and sniffed at me excitedly. Gracie ran for her toy right away. I tossed it for her a couple times, then headed to the front door. Jack beat me to it, knowing what was to come! He helped me put on his collar and impatiently danced around while I got Gracie's harness on. We went for a nice long walk this evening. When we got back, I played fetch a little longer with Gracie while Jack sat by me for a chest scratch.



Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This evening the boys were happy to see me come in. They quickly went out and did their business, not wanting to stay out long in the cool wind. Sugar emerged to join the boys for dinner. Afterwards, she curled up in my lap again. She got a nice neck massage! She just held her head down and closed her eyes, "Aah! That's the spot!". Jimmy climbed up next and kept giving me kisses. Buddy was busy trying to carefully tip over the toy basket. Then he kept pawing at it and looking at it curiously. He made me laugh. When it was time, we headed to their room and got them a treat before bed.
