Crash & Genny

Crash was standing in the window, barking as I came to the door this evening. Both he and Genny were right there, tails a-wagging, to greet me! Genny was carrying around her little puppy dog toy. I made her leave it inside as we went out to play. Luckily the rain held off, so we had a nice time outside. They each came up to me for a back scratch. Crash and Genny watched the neighbors playing outside with their dog for a bit, then laid in the grass and smelled the air. We headed in to get Crash his medicine and get them dinner. I brought Genny's food over to her and they each finished off their own bowl. Crash came over when he was done and gave me all kinds of kisses! After dinner we went back outside for awhile to enjoy the evening. They each got a treat when it was time to come back inside.


Luke & Maycie

This morning I let Luke and Maycie outside, then went to say good morning to Spiketail. She was not a happy camper this morning! She puffed up and was acting sassy when I turned her light on. I must have startled her. I went back out by the dogs so she could relax. By the time I got outside and threw a ball for Luke, I realized he had already gotten his other ball down. So now that he had two, he was carrying them both around in his mouth! He's so funny! He would bring them both over for me to throw for him. Maycie was busy wandering around the yard. She was sniffing and checking things out by the shed, then in the garden, then over by a hole in the fence. This afternoon I let the pups go potty quick, then brought them back in for lunch. The rain had stopped, so the dogs didn't get too dirty outside while they played. This time Maycie was racing around with Luke as he ran to fetch his ball. She even stole it one time! She was having fun chasing after him for awhile. Then later, she did some more exploring while he played. I got them each a carrot treat and said my goodbyes. I will miss them!



Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Tyson and Morgan were both in the entry way, ready to say hi as I came in. Toby was sprawled out in bed and rolled onto his back for his tummy rub when he saw me. It was pouring rain out this morning, so we didn't get to go for our walk. The water was all the way up to the mailbox and by the next house it was running across the ditch into the road! Needless to say, Toby didn't spend a long time outside to go potty. He came in and ate breakfast, then we got to play time! He dug around in his basket and kept bringing out different toys for us to play fetch and tug of war with. By this afternoon the rain had stopped. It was quite windy out, but just fine to get a nice long walk in. When we got back, Tyson was patiently waiting for me on the kitchen counter to turn his sink on. After I got his water for him, Toby and I went outside for a little bit. We came back in and Morgan was ready for some attention next! This evening it still hadn't started raining yet, so we quickly got on our way to hopefully get our full walk in. The dark clouds were rolling in, but we got to take our usual long walk. Tyson got his water again, while Morgan was busy pawing at the couch. I took Toby outside to play for a bit. But, we came right back in as soon as the June bugs were flocking to the patio! Yuck! Back inside, I pet Morgan for a little bit and got Toby his treat before it was time to go.




Bailey

This morning when I came to see Bailey it was just pouring rain! The backyard was already collecting standing water. Poor miss Bailey didn't want to go out in that! I don't blame her. She hopped off the patio once then went right back on and headed to the door, expecting a treat. I waited with her while she attempted to go out again a couple more times. Finally she braved the pouring rain and quickly did her business. I brought Bailey back inside for her breakfast, and of course a treat! She worked on her rawhide next to me. Then, she hopped up in her chair and rolled around a bit, being silly again. This evening the rain had been done for awhile when I came. It was pretty windy out, but actually quite nice. After Bailey finished her dinner, she and I sat outside on the patio for quite awhile. Later she came in and got her rawhide.


Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today all three little ones zoomed out the back door. Roxy found a toy right away for us to play fetch with. Dilly hopped up on my lap for awhile and watched Roxy having fun! Roxy got to play fetch by herself for quite awhile. Biscuit was off exploring in the yard, keeping himself busy. I put the girls in their room and Biscuit in the kitchen when it was Bert's time to come out. She did some exploring herself. Then, she came to snuggle me. I think she knew it was my last visit. When I got up to go inside, she stood on her back legs and kept giving me hugs like, "No, please don't go!"  That made me sad, but I was happy to see them one last time and say my goodbyes. I sure will miss them!
