Chelsea

This morning sweet Chelsea girl was dancing in the window, waiting for me to come in. She pranced ahead of me to the pantry door and nosed at her treats on the shelf while I got her breakfast. She quickly ate, then came and put her head on my lap. I gave her a big hug, then we headed into the kitchen to get her leash. It was a little bit on the chilly side this morning, but we still got our long walk in. Her Sheltie friends were outside barking hello as we passed by. After we got home, I went out back to get rid of her poo bag. Chelsea wandered out with me and started being goofy. She bounced and raced around, then would stop to see my reaction before doing it again! Unfortunately, I think she twinged something the last time. She was a bit gimpy after. Inside, I rubbed her leg and shoulder for awhile, in attempt to make her feel better. I felt bad, so I gave her an extra treat before I left. This evening, I could tell she was better, but still a little sore. I got her dinner for her, which she finished quickly. I wasn't going to walk her tonight, so as not to aggravate her leg more. Luckily, she knew we couldn't go and didn't cry to like usual. She just went and laid in the living room. I felt so bad, I know how much she loves her walks! Instead, she got lots of belly, ear and back rubs! She gave me hugs in return. She's such a sweetie pie! Hopefully she will be better enough in the morning to get our walk in.


Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls did their business, then came in for breakfast. Both girls were too interested in playing with their toys this morning. Then, the roles were switched this time. Harley ate just about every bite of her food in one sitting! Meanwhile, Sadie was too busy rolling her red ball around, trying to get me to play fetch with her, to eat. Finally, when she began to, Harley would stick her paw through the gate to try and get the ball! After Sadie was done, Harley bounced off and found her wubba to play with. Soon, she was playing tug with me with her snake, while Sadie kept me busy playing a game of fetch with her ball. This evening we played outside for a little bit when I arrived since it was so nice out! Sadie had brought a ball out with get, so she played a little fetch outside. Tonight neither one wanted to eat at all! Sadie just cried at me to let her out and Harley was off playing. I finally gave up and we all just played for awhile. Sadie took her ball and tried to bury it in her blankets in the laundry room. I had Harley zooming circles around me, chasing after her snake toy! They took another quick potty break outside, then we tried the whole eating dinner thing again. They must have worked up an appetite, because they both sat and polished off their bowls for me. Such good girls! Sadie snuggled up with me a little and Harley played some more before it was bedtime.
