Michael, Sadie & Sampson

This morning the pups were ready to go outside. Sampson was curled up by the door. Sadie and Michael spent a few minutes outside to do their business, then they lined up at the door, ready for their breakfast! They danced around in the kitchen while I filled their bowls. I gave the bunnies some more water while they were eating. After they ate, we headed back outside for awhile. Sampson was happy to get some more attention. Sadie was curled up next to me, getting pet with my other hand. Soon Sadie wanted to go back inside. We headed in and played inside for a bit. Sadie was being silly and started racing around the house. Then, she was wrestling around with Michael. She curled up in my lap awhile after she got tired out. When it was time, they headed to their beds for a snack.

Michael, Sadie & Sampson

This evening Sadie and Michael had quite the big barks when I came in. I let Michael out of his bed and he ran circles around me while I let Sadie out. Michael went outside right away for me, but Sadie was acting shy and hid in the living room. I've only sat for her once before and she wasn't home the other day, so that was understandable. While Michael was outside with Sampson, I went to get Sadie. I sat on the floor and gave her my soft high pitched talk, then she came running and plopped in my lap! I carried her outside to join the boys. Sampson was loving up my attention, pawing at me if I'd stop petting him. Sadie barely left my side after we got outside. She curled up and got as close to me as she could, wanting some of my attention too! Michael was busy exploring every corner of the yard. Sampson gave me a good chuckle when he started running around and shaking a rug about, which I'm pretty sure came from his bed! When it was time to go in, I got everyone their treats. Sadie went running as fast as she could! Hailey was sitting in the bathroom and gave me a few meows as I walked by.

Taz & Clyde

This morning it was drizzling outside on my way to see the boys. I let them outside when I arrived for a few minutes. As I wiped off their paws, they made me laugh by giving me lots of little kisses. We headed inside for their breakfast. After Clyde finished, I went out back to see what the rain was doing. It had lightened to just a little sprinkle, so the boys and I decided to go for our morning walk. They were so happy! After I got their harnesses on, they both were crying with so much excitement! Since we didn't get a walk in last night, I made sure to take them for a longer one today. We took most of our usual route around the neighborhood, then we went around to see the pond. I let them wander around in the grass a bit before we headed back home. They waited on the front porch patiently, while I dried them off again. After Taz got inside, he went to go finish his breakfast.

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys were bouncing up and down excitedly when I walked in the door. We headed outside so they could go potty quick. I gave them their breakfast to work on next. Taz decided he was just going to guard his food for now, and maybe eat it later. After Clyde finished, I asked if they wanted to go for their morning walk. It is supposed to be a rainy day today, but luckily it hadn't started yet. I thought we should try to get our walk in while we could. The boys were excited and danced around in the garage while I got them hooked up. We headed on our way and were able to get our full long walk in! When we got back we sat outside for a little bit longer. I had pretty good timing today. Not long after we had gotten back, then the sky opened up and the rain started coming down pretty good. We even saw some hail this morning. I let the boys back inside right away and Taz got to work on his breakfast. Clyde followed me to the door as I was leaving and thought he was going to go for another walk! This afternoon I came and let the boys out back. It was a bit drizzly out, but was nice under the covered patio. I got them each a rawhide to work on while we were outside. Clyde sure knows how to make ya nervous with those things! Eventually they both finished their treats, without issue. We spent our visit in the backyard, since the downpours had been off and on all day so far. Clyde sat near me and enjoyed a back scratch. Taz was happy exploring about the yard and getting excited at any noises he heard. I cleaned up their paws before they came in, then made sure they had plenty of fresh water before I left. This evening I thought we might get a walk in, but the rain started just as I was nearing the house. Taz and Clyde went outside for a potty break. I wiped up their paws, then we headed in for their dinner. Both ate and licked their bowls clean. I knew what they wanted to do next, but unfortunately,  not tonight. Later we went back to sit in the patio area to get least some time outside. When it was time to head in I got them each a bedtime treat.

Taz & Clyde

This morning Taz and Clyde were so much more at ease. Clyde let out one big bark when he heard the door, but then he saw it was just me again. They trotted along with me to the back door to go outside for a minute. They quickly did their thing, then were ready for breakfast! We headed to the laundry room and I filled their dishes with their food. Clyde finished his quickly, but Taz just sort of stared at his. Since he wasn't too interested, I asked if they wanted to go for a walk. Ears perked up and they both ran to the garage, ready to go! We went for a longer walk this morning. It was a little chilly, but the sun was shining and the boys didn't seem to mind. They were very excited to be out on their walk. When we got back home, we went and sat out back for a little bit. Taz wandered around and Clyde hung out by me. I wiped their paws before heading back inside. Taz was finally ready to eat his breakfast. This afternoon I came and let the boys outside. While we were out there, I gave them their dental chews to work on. They both picked a nice spot to curl up and enjoy their rawhides. We spent the rest of the time outside in the backyard since it was so nice out. Taz and Clyde would get excited any time they heard someone walking by. Taz even ran a few laps! This evening the boys got their dinner and I refreshed their water. When they finished, we decided to get another walk in, while it was still nice out. We spent a few more minutes out back once we got home before bedtime.

Taz & Clyde

This evening the boys met me at the door, and barked to announce my arrival. They seemed a little nervous, so I said their names and talked softly to them. We made our way to the laundry room and I read the notes quickly, while they sniffed at me a little. Clyde was still pretty nervous and wide-eyed. So, to make them feel a little more at ease, I decided to get right to our walk. We went to the garage and they started to realize what was going on. Taz got excited and ran up to me to get his harness on. Clyde was a little unsure, but he willingly got his harness on next. Once we got outside, they knew what to do! They perked up and were happily walking, sniffing around and having a good time. We walked around the neighborhood awhile, then headed back home. They were so much more comfortable once we got back! I let them go out back to finish going potty, while I got them some fresh water. When they came back in, I sat with them a bit and pet them until it was time to go.

Noah, Henry & Harper

Today the pups gave me a big bark hello when I came in. They ran up to sniff at me. I let them all outside for a little bit. It took them awhile before they went off to do their business, since they were too busy sayig hi! I got plenty of kisses from everyone. Soon we headed inside so they could eat their lunch. Henry wanted pets while the big dogs were eating. They quickly finished, so I sent them to the living room and put their dishes up. Henry worked on his lunch. When everyone was done we went back outside to enjoy the nice day. Murdock came up to the window to watch us. Noah ran around the yard a bit, going to different sides of the fence to see what was happening in the neighborhood. Harper and Henry spent most of their time by me getting attention. As I was bringing the pups back inside, Joe Friday made an appearance and walked over to me for a little back scratch on his way to the water bowl.

Titus & Angel

This morning was cold and rainy outside. I said good morning to the pups and put their collars on. We headed outside so they could go potty. They spent most of their time in the shelter of the roof-covered patio. Later we went in to warm up and get them their breakfast. They were hungry this morning and both got to work right away. Since they were going to spend the day in, we headed back out for a little while. I stopped back late this morning to give them one more quick potty break.

Titus & Angel

This morning I headed in to see the pups. I made sure to put their collars on right away. Titus made it a little challenging, as he was bouncing around excitedly. Finally, he settled and I got his collar on so we could go outside. I gave them a little time to do what they needed, then we headed back in for breakfast. Titus got to work right away. Miss Angel laid on her bed, staring at me with those eyes and wagging her tail. Suddenly, she popped up and came over for a back scratching. I told her she needed to go eat, so finally she did. Titus was finished, so he was ready to play! He squatted down on his front legs, then jumped up and tossed his head around playfully. What a silly boy! When Angel finished, he got his wish and we headed back outside. Later this afternoon, the sky grew dark and I was watching isolated storms pop up on the radar. I headed over to let the pups back inside, so Angel wouldn't be scared. This evening, the pups were ready to go outside. We spent most of the time outside playing, since it was pretty nice out. Titus rolled over for some belly rubs. When it was Angel's turn, he kept trying to mess with her. He was quite the little instigator tonight! Angel got some fetch time in. Titus was busy nudging her and trying to get her upset. So, I chased around with him instead. Eventually, they relaxed and laid on the patio by me, getting some attention. When it was time, I got them their dinner and some fresh water before bed.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I let the girls out for a potty break. Miss Ninja ran in while I opened the garage for her. It was pretty nice out again this morning. I had the girls come inside to work on their breakfast a bit, then we would head out to play. Ninja had made herself comfortable on one of the stools next to me. After Sadie and Sassy had eaten a bit, they zoomed outside to enjoy the morning. Sadie was having a blast chasing all the birds flying around. She ran towards the bush in the yard and made sure to scare them all out! Sassy just hung back and gave them her big, scary bark. Haha! Sadie and I had had so much fun playing fetch with her apple yesterday, that we decided to play again today. She brought her toy over, sometimes playing tug of war with it, before finally dropping it for me to throw. Sadie raced after it, now and again with Sassy right on her heels. She grabbed the apple, gave it a few good shakes with her head, then would toss it playfully in the air to herself. Eventually, she would bring it to me to start all over again. I sent miss Ninja back outside when it was time for the ladies to go back in. This afternoon as I opened the door and the girls ran out, I noticed a big orange tom cat out of the corner of my eye, next to the stairs. Sadie had already spotted him and chased him under the shed. I couldn't quite tell since it was only briefly that I saw him, but it looked like something was wrong with his jaw. I didn't get the chance to see him again before I left. Ninja had wandered out and laid under the patio chairs to stretch her big tummy. I stayed a bit longer this visit since it was quite nice out and the girls were having fun outside. They will be very happy to see mom and dad come home. We sure had fun!

Titus & Angel

This morning Titus and Angel were excited to get outside. I quickly put on their collars, then off we went. They each took a few minutes to do their business. Titus was ready for play time after that! He ran circles around me and played "keep-away". I tossed a ball and Titus went leaping and bounding after it, then turned and ran back. Angel wasn't quite ready for fetch this morning. She was too busy sniffing around the yard. Later, we headed in for their breakfast. It was a bit cloudy this morning, but it turned out to be quite the nice afternoon! Titus and Angel were laying by the fence when I pulled up, then they raced to meet me at the back door. Angel and I got a few throws of her tennis ball in this evening. Titus raced with when he could, then danced circles around me again, taunting me to play. We chased around and he got into a full sprint around the yard. He was going so fast that he couldn't stop and actually jumped clean over Angel! She barely noticed, since she was busy sniffing at something in the grass. They enjoyed some attention time before we headed in for their dinner. After they finished, they came over to me for some back and neck scratches.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

The girls woke up and came running as soon as I unlocked the door this morning. I let them out, then went to let miss Ninja out. Sassy made her way around and went into the garage to check if Ninja had any canned food left over. She was disappointed to see it was all gone. I got everyone some food this morning, then went out to visit with the girls. Ninja had made herself comfortable on a patio chair. Sadie was busy chasing after all the birds this morning. Sassy was a spunky little girl today too! She was running and bouncing along with Sadie. She kept wandering over by me for a little back scratching, but Sadie would get jealous and nudge her out of the way. Poor little Sassy. This afternoon was very nice outside again. We spent our entire visit out enjoying the beautiful weather! Sadie made her rounds, making sure no birds were sitting in the grass. When she wasn't getting attention, she was lounging around in the shade of the trees. Until she'd spot a bird of course! Sassy made me laugh this afternoon. She was carrying on a long conversation with another dog in the neighborhood. One would bark, then the other would sound a couple barks back. Sadie thoroughly enjoyed some belly rubs and back scratches. Miss Ninja must have been enjoying the afternoon everywhere, as I didn't see her around. This evening Ninja was waiting for me as usual, and so were my happy ladies! They zoomed outside while I got Ninja her dinner. Tonight Sassy had made her way into the garage before I closed it, knowing Ninja was about to get a can of that yummy food! Haha! The girls came in to work on some of their own dinner, before we headed out one last time for the evening.

Titus & Angel

This evening the pups were both bouncing up and down at the back door when I arrived. I went out and said hi to them, then we spent a bit longer outside. Angel went and got a ball for me and we started a game of fetch right away. I only had to step towards Titus a couple times before he took off racing laps around the yard. Angel dropped her ball to take a potty break and explore a little. I tried to throw the ball for Titus since she wasn't interested at the moment. He just looked at me like, "What?" I chased after him a bit instead and he went racing some more, with a hop, jump and a skip in his step. After playing outside for a bit, we then headed in for their dinner. I took off their collars and got them some food. I couldn't find Angel's bowl anywhere, so I took one that was stacked with Titus's. They each ate their dinner, then came over for back and neck scratches until it was time to go.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could see little miss Ninja peeking at me through the crack by the garage door. I headed in to let the little sleepyheads outside, then I opened the door for Ninja. She wanted to go inside instead. Sadie and Sassy came back in after a few minutes to eat their breakfast, and of course, say hi! Ninja was loving the attention while they were busy eating. When they finished, we all headed outside to enjoy the beautiful morning! Sadie went racing after birds flying overhead, and Sassy joined in by barking at them. Ninja hung out on the patio with us. Sadie had fun running laps around the yard, then occasionally stopping by me for some attention. This afternoon was gorgeous! Sassy seemed comfy sleeping on the couch when I got there, and had to be coaxed to come out with us. The girls did some exploring and relaxing in the grass. Later on, Ninja decided to show up. She walked around the patio by us. Sadie started trying to get Sassy to chase her. She zoomed circles around her, but was always just out of reach when Sassy would jump out from under the chairs. Sassy had more fun chasing after Ninja, since she kept coming by me for attention. This evening Ninja was in the driveway waiting for me. Sadie was doing her twirls at the door and Sassy was bouncing right along with her. They went out while I got Ninja set up for the night. It was another nice evening, so we spent some time outside. Sadie made sure to chase after any birds that were sitting in the yard. She would always take a break for a few back scratches and to give me a couple kisses. We headed in just in time, as I saw the neighbor out in her yard. I said goodnight with a few more belly rubs.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could tell the girls were sleeping. As soon as I unlocked the door, they both came running! I let them out right away, then went to crack open the garage for Ninja. No babies yet! It was chilly out this morning, but the sun was shining. The girls wandered around a bit, then came in to say hi. I got everyone their breakfast and some fresh water. I sat in the kitchen while Sadie and Sassy worked on their breakfast. Ninja even joined in at the water bowl! Later, Sadie enjoyed her attention time. She gave me lots of kisses! Sassy was being silly this morning, bouncing around and rubbing her face on the floor. The ladies wanted to go outside again after awhile. Sadie took off and chased after her birds for a bit. This afternoon a wiggly Sadie was already waiting at the door fo me! It was starting to get pretty nice out this afternoon. I let the girls outside while I cleaned Ninja's box and fed the fishies. This was the first time miss Ninja wasn't there to see me. I couldn't help but wonder if she was off somewhere having her babies. I listened and peeked around in the garage a little but didn't see her anywhere. I sat outside with the girls for awhile this afternoon. Sadie had found a nice spot in the grass to curl up. Sassy was busy exploring about the yard. When we came in they decided to nibble on some food. This evening I saw miss Ninja under the garage door as I pulled up. She came trotting out when she saw my car. Ninja still had her big baby belly! She followed along with me to find the girls already at the door. I let them out to do their business, and Ninja snuck inside and laid on the tile. She enjoyed some attention until the girls came back inside. I got Ninja her canned food and closed the door for the evening. When I finished, the girls and I sat outside for a little bit, since it was still pretty nice out. Sadie chased after the birds and a couple bugs. Sassy ran around to the side of the house and let out a couple barks, just because! We headed inside for a treat and a few more pets before bed.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I was met at the door by a very happy Sadie! I stepped inside and she started crying with so much excitement! Sassy came from the bedroom to say hi. Just as I closed the door, Ninja came running up and peered through the window. I let the ladies outside to do their business. Sadie was super fast and back to the door to get some attention. Sassy soon returned as well, and Ninja snuck in when I opened the door. Sadie wouldn't let me stop petting her for even a second. She would paw at me for more! When it was time I sent Ninja back outside and told the girls I'd be back later. This afternoon both Sadie and Sassy were right there to say hi. I no more than shut the door, and Ninja had returned as well! I let the girls out again, and this time they spent a little longer outside. Sadie came in and was loving me up! I noticed it was taking Sassy awhile to come back, so I went to look for her. Not seeing her in the yard,  I had a feeling I knew where she was. Sure enough! She was in the garage nibbling on the canned cat food. I sent her inside and made sure to put the food up next time they went out. The girls got a couple treats today and Sadie did her little twirl for me. Later, she had a little crazy spurt and went racing laps around the living room! She made me laugh. Ninja joined us inside for a little bit, and she and Sassy played for a couple minutes. This evening miss Ninja and Sadie were both already sitting on either side of the back door. Ninja wanted in and Sadie wanted me to come in! Haha! Sadie and Sassy spent a bit outside. When they came in, Sassy sat on the couch next to me and Sadie was happy getting her pets. She even enjoyed a long belly scratch. Later, Sassy wandered over to the food bowl. Sadie, of course, had to go then too. I had to tell her "no" a couple times, as I could see she was getting a little weary of Sassy nearing the bowl. Sadie took a mouthful of kibbles and ran quickly to the living room to drop them on the floor and eat them! Sassy did this next, but took hers to the kitchen floor behind the couch. They took turns doing this while Ninja and I watched. Finally, they got down to business and both ate out of the bowl together. Ninja took this time to get a little attention from me. I let the girls outside one last time before bed.

Titus & Angel

This morning the pups heard me coming, and were both at the door waiting for me. I got their collars put back on, then we headed outside. It was already so nice out this morning! They bounced around a little, then did their business. I gave them a few minutes and then we headed in for their breakfast. They were a little too excited to be interested in their food. Titus kept coming to me for a neck scratch. This morning it was his turn for a belly rub! When Angel wasn't laying on her bed, she was over by me for attention. Soon, they were wrestling around and messing with each other. So, we decided to head back outside to burn off some of that energy. I played some fetch with Angel until she got bored with it. Then, I chased around with Titus for a bit. Later we headed inside to try and get them to eat again. This time, they both settled down and laid by their bowls to eat. After they finished, I made sure they had plenty of water outside for the afternoon.

Saturday, April 13, 2013

Titus & Angel

This evening the pups were both at the gate when I pulled up. I headed to the back door, but they were too busy still watching and barking at my car. I flipped the lock a few times, then they came running! They were both very excited to see me. I sat down and they both sat with me, happy to get a few pets. Next, I got Titus all riled up! We started playing and chasing around. He squatted down on his front legs, then took off running and racing laps around the yard! When he was getting tired out, it was Angel's turn. I got a couple of their toys and started a game of fetch. Titus would always race with her, but Angel was the one who always got the toy! Eventually, we headed in for their dinner. I made them sit at the door for me, then told them when it was ok. Such good puppies! I got them their food, then took off their collars so they could get comfortable. Titus laid right down by his bowl and started nibbling. Angel was much more interested in getting attention! She insisted that I keep on petting her, giving me those sad puppy eyes if i'd stop. Titus wandered over and got his neck scratched. He sure loved that! Angel enjoyed getting her belly rubbed, then finally settled down to eat her food.

Sunday, April 7, 2013

Harvey & King

This morning King was bouncing right out of his kennel as soon as I opened the door! I quickly let him outside while I located Harvey. After I let him outside, I fed them their breakfast. Harvey sure wanted to eat King's food! I redirected him to his own bowl, then kept him busy while King finished. After breakfast it was playtime! King found a frisbee and kept bringing that to me to throw for him. He's very good at playing fetch already! Harvey stayed by me for some attention. Next, King picked up a pink squeaky toy and played a little tug with me, since he didn't want to give it up! Soon the boys were having fun wrestling around. They burned off some energy by running laps around the yard, then circling around and around the shed. King was leading the way. Harvey caught on after a couple laps around, then decided to be sneaky and head King off by running the other direction! They both were good boys and let me wipe their paws when it was time to head inside. I grabbed some treats for them and Harvey raced to his bedroom. He knows the routine! I gave him his treats, then went to put King in his bed.

Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon the girls were busy playing in the back yard and didn't hear me pull up. I came outside, then they came running to say hi. It was another beautiful day outside. We spent the first part of our visit out on the patio. The neighbor dog was outside too, so the girls went and visited with him. Sophie and Roxy took turns standing up by me for some attention. Roxie went and curled up by the edge of the patio, so I went to sit by her. Sophie had curled up with a bone to chew on in the warm sunshine. Later, they got some energy and started chasing each other around. They raced, then wrestled, and ended with kisses. We headed inside after awhile so they could eat. Sophie finished hers, while Roxy kept nibbling here and there. Then, they each snuggled up on either side of me for awhile. Before I left they got their treats and I fed the fish. We had fun!

Sophie & Roxie

This afternoon was gorgeous outside. The ladies were waiting for me at the gate, tails a-wagging. The neighbor dog came outside, so the girls said hi to it and raced along the fence. They took a minute to get to the back door to come in, but were excited as usual when they did. After a few bounces hello, they worked on their dinner right away again. Sophie was first to finish and came jumping into my lap. Roxie wasn't going to miss out on the action! She soon joined us and they hopped and rolled all over the place. Sophie laid across my lap and did her swimming. After all the excitement, they were two lazy puppies today! Roxie went to her recliner and laid on her back for a bit. Then she rolled over and rested her head on the arm to take a snooze. She even started snoring! Sophie was laying next to me getting her belly rubbed, then soon was sleeping too. Later they got up for treat time and headed back outside to enjoy the nice afternoon!

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

This afternoon the pups seemed surprised to see me! It has been a little while, so they took a minute to sniff at me when I opened the office door. Then, they raced to the back door to head outside. Bootsie met us on our way out. It was a nice morning outside today. Buck and Chloe ran off to go explore. Bootsie came and sat with me for some attention. Later, Chloe came to join us. She sat next to me, then Bootsie next to her. Chloe just sat and smelled the fresh air. Buck was off in the distance, playing with his toy. He saw me watching. As soon as I said his name, he came running over for his back scratches. Chloe was quite the snuggle bug today. She spent most of her time sitting up against me. Later, we headed inside for a little bit so they could eat and enjoy a snack. When they were done, we went right back out since it was so nice out. Bootsie made me laugh when I saw him chasing a big bug that was flying overhead. Before I left I gave the pups their other snack.

Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon my ladies were doing a little dance at the gate when I pulled up. They were happily wiggling their little heinies. They met me at the back door and came racing inside. After saying hi, they went to work on their dinner right away again. They saved a little bit for later and came to sit with me for their attention. Today they would sit on either side of me and give me lots of kisses. Then, they would hop over and switch sides. Lots of belly rubs for the girls and kisses for me today! After a little while, they each ran off to finish eating their food. Roxie was having fun hopping from chair to chair. She even sat in the green chair in the corner, which I hardly ever see her sit in. I think she misses mom and dad though. She took a little time to lay on the bed today. It finally stopped raining out as of this morning, so the girls had a nice day to spend outside. I gave them each a few treats before I left.

Riley & Hunter

The mysterious couch potato came out last night after I left! The pillows were all over the place, and a couple were on the floor. I took one shoe off when I arrived this morning, and Riley was off with it before I even had the other off! The pups got to spend a little while outside this morning. We still didn't play fetch since there was quite a bit of mud and standing water in the yard. Hunter wasn't too happy about that. I had hidden his ball the night before. We cleaned up, then headed in for breakfast. After they finished, we headed into the living room. Hunter started barking at me, wanting to go play. I told him it was too early for loud barks, but that didn't change his mind. Haha! This afternoon's visit was very similar to this morning. We went outside to play for a bit. They did a little exploring about the yard. Hunter wanted to go inside... only to get his ball! I'm not sure how, but he knew right where I hid it too. We spent the rest of our visit in the living room. After I calmed Hunter down, he enjoyed his back scratches. They both were happy to sit in my lap for heiny scratches too! They were full of energy today, jumping over my lap, and then starting a wrestling match with each other. Those silly pups! Before I left, I told them mom and dad would be home soon.

Riley & Hunter

This morning both pups raced to the door to greet me! Hunter was bouncing all over the place. We headed outside for a little bit so they could do their business. It had stopped raining, so they spent a little time exploring. Later we headed in for their breakfast. I took a look at the forecast and saw it was supposed to be another rainy day. So, I thought we should take advantage of the rain-free morning we had. We headed back outside and I tossed the ball for Hunter a little bit. Riley got a little spunky too and would race around in little spurts when Hunter was. I got their paws all cleaned up when it was time to head back in. This afternoon two happy faces were right at the door to greet me. It had been raining on and off, but it took a little break when I came for my visit. I no more than took my shoes off, then noticed Riley was trotting along behind me with my shoe in her mouth! Silly girl. I saw evidence that there was a couch potato in my absence! A couple pillows were on the floor, so I put them back. I let the pups outside, then we got a few more throws of the ball in. Riley found a Frisbee outside and carried that around for a bit. I cleaned paws again, then we headed inside before they got too muddy. They were happy to get their back scratches in. A puppy was barking on the tv, so Riley went and sat in front of it to watch. It was so cute! Hunter took advantage of my full attention. He sure doesn't like to share me. Haha! This evening I was greeted with wagging tails. Riley happily carried my shoe around the kitchen. It was raining again and super muddy out, so no fetch tonight. It took a bit longer to get their little toes cleaned. We headed in for dinner time. They took a little encouraging tonight, but soon were licking their bowls clean. Afterwards, we headed to the living room for attention time. Hunter kept barking at me excitedly. I knew what he wanted! He wanted to go out and play fetch. Sorry buddy... maybe tomorrow.
