Frankie

This evening Frankie ran to see me. I gave her a hello hug, then she sat down so I could put on her leash and collar. We went out into the cold, and I took her to our usual spot, a nice and quiet area, where she wouldn't have any distractions. Once she was finished, we headed back inside. She sat down properly again so I could take off her leash. Then I gave her a treat. After that we relaxed in the living room and I gave her tons of attention. She loved getting her butt scratched so much, she would do a little dance. It was so cute!


Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This afternoon, the pups went wild as soon as I let them out. They ran off in different directions, except Tizzy who couldn't stop jumping up by me demanding attention. I sat down in the grass while they all ran around and played. One at a time they would randomly come see me, slobber my face with kisses, and paw at me for attention. JR stayed by me the longest. He kept sniffing around and eating the grass. I kept telling him that was gross, but he didn't care. Chloe would come over and just sit with her face in my face and stare at me and whine. I guessed that was her own way of demanding attention. Buckley camped out in the corner of the yard, laying in the sun by himself. The others would start barking at the black dog next door, then he would join. When it was time to go in, I got everyone's toys and put some yummy peanut butter on them. They all followed me to the bedroom, single file. Bootsie was relaxing on the small kitty bed when we went in. I said a quick hello, then checked all their food and water before heading out.



Jager & Trixie

When I arrived this afternoon, both pups were all bundled up in their cages. I let them out back right away so they could go potty. When they were done, they came back over by me, wanting to go back in. I took a seat on the floor in the living room and Jager demanded attention. He kept grabbing my sleeve, begging me to pet him, not Trixie. I did my best to evenly distribute attention to both of them. Trixie just rolled over on her back, wanting a belly rub. Jager went and grabbed a toy, plopped down beside me, and started chewing away. Then they both got a treat before they had to go back outside.



Miranda

Miranda poked her head around the corner this afternoon to say hello. She hopped up to give me a hug, then raced me to the backdoor. We headed out into the cold and she grabbed her red toy. We played fetch for a bit, until she told me she was done, by flopping down in the grass, and hoarding both the toys. A little after that, we went back in so she could get a drink.


Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

This afternoon the pups and I played outside for a bit. It was a little cold, but they kept warm by running up and down along the fence and barking at the puppy next door. Jimmy would randomly come back over by me for some snuggling. This evening, I let the pups out right away. They lined up at the door when they were finished. Then it was time for the boys to take their meds. They licked their plates clean, then went and ate some dinner. I sat down in the living room with the boys while Sugar ate. They got into a little fight over a bone so I had to take it away. Jimmy snuggled up by me after and Buddy went over to eat some more. Then they all got a treat before bedtime.
