Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

This morning the pups quickly scarfed down their food and were ready to play. I worked on scooping the yard while they did their business. I had Harley go get her soccer ball for me, then she and I played fetch the rest of the time. Zoey sat on the top of all the piled up cushions and watched for awhile. Wyatt was keeping himself busy chewing on the kong. He later brought it into the patio and curled up on a chair with it. This afternoon was nice and warm out! Tut came out with us and just sat and enjoyed the warm sun shining down on him for awhile. Harley and Wyatt did a little exploring. Wyatt started gathering some toys together and then rolled around on them. What a goof! Zoey was perfectly content laying in the grass and sunning herself. This evening Tut wandered outside with us again for awhile. Harley kept me busy most of the time this evening, kicking her ball around for her. Wyatt had his kong and was protecting it from Harley stealing it... even though she had no intentions of doing so! Zoey curled up on her chair and Tut sat on top of the grill and watched us. I visited with Zoey for a little bit before bedtime. She happily gave me lots of kisses as she snuggled up with me!




Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon I let the boys outside when I arrived. I went back inside to look for miss Sugar. I saw a little lump in the blankets in one of their kennels. Soon her little nose peeked out! She slowly made her way out of the blanket, then laid back on her side, "Do I have to?". She came racing to the back door with me. The pups all enjoyed some time lounging in the warm sunshine. Today they even got a little toasty and started panting! Once they were warm, they moved to the shade and snuggled up on their bed. This evening the boys came running to me to go outside after saying hi. Sugar actually ran to the bedroom! She emerged quickly though, carrying a bone. After everyone came in and ate their potatoes, we spent some more time outside. It was still very comfortable out.




Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

Today Bootsie meowed hello at me while I let the pups out. They ran their laps as usual, then swung by me to say hi. JR snuggled up with me for awhile, as the others were busy checking out the trees. Today was nice and warm outside. Chloe and Tizzy laid in the shade after awhile to cool off. Buck kept cool by splashing water around in the water bin! He came over and visited me too, burying his head in my lap as I scratched his back. I got up to go grab a toy to throw for JR, which got everyone so excited they all started howling! They're so silly! I threw the toy a few times. They all chased after it, but only JR was lucky enough to get it. He would squeak squeak it as he sat there. He was a good boy and even shared the toy with Tizzy for awhile. Soon it was time to head inside, so they all waited while I got their snacks ready. Bootsie was lounging in the chair when we got back. JR jumped up there with him, disturbing his comfy spot. So, Bootsie climbed up to the back of the chair and curled up to continue his nap.




Zeus, Baby & Xena

As soon as I walked in the door, the puppies started barking and whining to get out of their kennels. I let them out and Zeus had to give me his routine hug. I guided them both to the backdoor and I let them join Baby. Zeus obviously wanted the first five minutes of attention all to himself. He wandered off to go potty, then the other two got their chance to get some love in. A couple minutes later, Zeus started barking and I looked around, and here was Xena right by my feet. The silly little girl escaped somehow. I put her back behind the fence so I could see where she got out. Sure enough, she crawled right under the fence again. I put a block in front of the hole and that kept her in for a little while, but it didn't take her long to find another way to escape. I just let her sit on my lap for a bit. Zeus wasn't happy about it. He was very jealous, so I tried to keep him occupied at the same time. That way he wouldn't be upset, and it worked perfectly.



Miranda

This afternoon Miranda didn't waste any time. She saw me come in the door and ran for the backdoor as fast as she could. I let her outside and then she started bouncing up beside me to get my attention. I pet her for a bit, then she ran and went potty quick. Then she went to hunt down one of her toys, while I looked for the other. She saw me holding one and instantly dropped hers, waiting for me to throw it. That went on for a little while until she seemed tired, then she just layed down in the grass for a breather.
