Mac

Mac met me at the gate today when I arrived. He had his ball ready to go! I went over and got out his rope toy. He immediately dropped the ball, and was excited for the new toy! I tossed that for him for awhile. He so kindly decided to cool off the rope each time he got a drink, by dunking it in his bowl. Silly guy! It was such a nice day out for him to play. He raced back and forth for his toy, always bringing it back for another toss. He started to get tired, and took a rest in the shade of the porch. I let him rest until he got his second wind and came back for more. I let him rest a bit while I filled up his water buckets. He was happy to get a drink of the fresh, cool water from the spigot. Before I left he got his dinner. I distracted him by tossing a treat as I snuck out. After he finished, he stood at the gate to watch as I left.

Hope & Tag

Hope is sure getting big! I let her out as soon as I got there. She had messed in her crate, so I got to cleaning that up while she played outside. Once I finished, she came bouncing over to see me. It was so nice out today! Hope grabbed her little kong toy and kept trying to hop into my lap to show me. Next, she found a stick to play with. Tag was happy just lounging in the grass, soaking up the warm sunshine. I found a little yellow bone in the grass that Hope and I played some fetch with. I had to be careful not to throw it too far, or she'd forget what she was chasing after! She carried her toy back, curled up next to me, and had some fun chomping on the bone for awhile. Hope was being silly, sometimes crawling or trying to jump over my legs. She didn't quite make it all the way across each time. Tag got excited when he saw the neighbor dogs out a few houses over. He barked a hello to them, and Hope went running over to investigate. While we sat outside, I got them each a couple treats. When it was time, Hope came in and got her treat for kenneling up.
