Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

This afternoon was cloudy and quite dreary outside. The pups, needless to say, didn't stay outside long! We played inside instead. Jimmy had fun playing fetch and Buddy was busy eating some lunch. Sugar had wandered off to her room to snuggle up in her blankies. This evening the boys were bouncing up and down at my feet as I came in. All three ran outside to do their business. They came in and ate quick, then went back out for a little bit. Sugar stayed out the longest, not seeming to mind the cold too much. She soon came in and wandered off to chew on a bone. Jimmy brought over his squeaker for me to throw for him. I sat on the floor by Buddy and he buried his face in my arm and snuggled up for a minute. Then, he used me as a ladder again to crawl up to the couch! He climbed to the top and curled up. He got excited every time I stuck the toy in the air, right up by him, to throw for Jimmy. He never went to get it though! Before bed, everyone lined up in the kitchen for their snack.



Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This afternoon the pups raced me to the back door. Before I opened it, Bootsie appeared, wanting to come in. I kept him outside with us, which later he didn't mind so much because he got all kinds of attention! It was a little chilly out this afternoon, but the dogs thought it was perfect for running! Buck came over and buried his face in my lap and stuck his heiny straight up in the air while I scratched his back! Bootsie was wandering around by his legs, trying to get my attention as well. Chloe went from tree to tree, standing up against it to see if there was anything up there. Their neighbor friend was out today, wearing a cute little coat! They had fun running over to say hi to him now and again. Bootsie was just loving me up. He kept walking under my legs and then rolling over to his side as I pet him. JR came for some scratching next. Tizzy sneak attacked him from behind and they both ran off chasing each other. Then, they started howling! Tizzy ran and jumped in my lap, howling right in my face like, "Come on, you gotta do it too!". They're so silly. When it was time, we all headed in and got them a treat and their peanut butter snacks.



Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon I let Zeus and Zena out to join Baby for awhile. Zeus stood up against the gate as usual to say hi and get a few pets. Today even Baby joined him, so I kept them each occupied with a hand scratching their chins. Zena poked her head through the fence and waited for her turn. Later, she somehow found a way to sneak through! She came racing over to me and climbed in my lap for a few minutes. Zeus was jealous! He started running laps around the yard, then would hop on top of the dog house to see what was going on. I put her back in by the boys and she stayed in this time. Before we headed back in, I wiped off their paws quick. Zena munched on her kibble a little bit before they went back to bed.
