Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon I let the three little ones outside when I arrived. Dilly gave me a couple hello jumps before she wandered off. Roxy got her ball and had me throwing it for her right away! She and Biscuit were entertained with that for quite awhile. When it was Bert's turn, she came over to me for a hello hug. Then, she and Biscuit started messing around. They wrestled a little, then went racing around the yard together! When it was time to head in, Bert made me laugh. She went up to a food bowl and started pushing the kibbles around in a cirlcle, back and forth with her nose! My dog does that when she is trying to bury a bone.





Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon Zeus and Zena went out to join Baby, who was waiting for us at the door. They went right into their side of the yard today. Baby was just loving up the sunshine! He laid out in the grass and I could tell he was getting sleepier, slowly tilting backwards. Finally, he flopped over and laid completely on his side! Ahhhh! Zeus was wandering over on the side of the house, with Zena supervising from under the ping pong table. As soon as they heard a dog come outside, they ran to the side of the fence to say hello!




Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls ran outside to do their business while I got breakfast ready. Sadie started eating a lot sooner than yesterday and she finished pretty quickly. Harley, on the other hand, was the total opposite today. She was much to excited to play to be interested in breakfast! I tried a few things, but she just didn't want to. I put her food up since Sadie was aching to get out by us. We sat in the living room to play a little. Harley started zooming around and around the room like it was a race track! Later we headed outside since it was pretty nice out and they played out there awhile. Harley kept sticking her head through the fence to look at something. When we headed in, I called Harley to the kitchen and we tried the food game I like to do with some dogs. That worked! I got her to eat a few kibbles with that, which got her hunger going enough to lick her bowl clean. Yay! Meanwhile, Sadie kept bringing me a ball to throw for her, which kept her occupied. Afterwards we played in the living room some more. Harley and I played tug with her snake toy. This evening the girls went out potty, then it was time for dinner. Sadie got working on hers right away. I started the food game with Harley, so she got interested in eating hers much earlier this evening. She got about half way, then stopped. The wind whooshing and howling outside kept making her think she was hearing someone at the front door. So, we took a break and got to the fun stuff! Later, I brought Harley into the kitchen and tried to get her eating again, which she did and cleaned up her bowl. The girls got to go outside once more and get their treat before bed.
