Sophie, Kiki & Baby

This evening I pulled up and all three pups came running together to see me. I got out and let them smell at me a bit. Sophie was rolling around and just loving me up. They followed me around for a bit, then Kiki and Baby wandered off to do their own thing. Sophie had fun jumping in the kiddie pool for a swim. Then she rolled around in the grass, having a blast! A couple of the chickens wandered over to check me out too. I got the little baby duck some fresh water. He's so cute! He loved having some fresh cool water, and jumped right in for a swim. I made sure all the other water containers had enough in them for the night. The chickens weren't ready for bed yet, so I came back again later. They were just walking in when I returned. All the little chickens were confused where to go since their coop was closed. They actually let me catch them this time and I got them where they needed to go. The only one I had trouble with was the white duckie! He kept running away from me, so I grabbed the baby duckling out and propped open the door. Then, we waited. Eventually he waddled in and I returned baby duck to his coop.

Noah, Henry & Harper

Noah was excitedly barking when I pulled up today. I went in and got everyone their dinner. Harper and Noah both finished quickly, so I let them go outside right away. I stayed in by Henry to coax him to finish his dinner as well. Then, we joined the other pups and they each got their rawhide snack. Noah went to the far end of the yard to enjoy his. Harper's was gone pretty quick, so then he sat with me. Henry took the longest, but was so happy savoring every minute! Noah came to say hi, then noticed dogs were out at the back of the yard. He went and raced back and forth along the fence with them. We didn't stay outside too much longer, because the neighbor dogs to the side of the yard came out. I got everyone inside and we played for a little bit. Noah was being his silly self, rolling around and crawling under my legs. Henry made sure to keep him in line. Haha!

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

Buck stopped at the top of the stairs to sniff at me a bit today. We headed outside for awhile. I noticed Buck had rubbed his face and made his little eyelid mass bleed a bit. Chloe and Buck did their exploring, while Bootsie sat and visited me. Buck had found something over by the hose that he was all excited about. I came over to see what it was, but couldn't see anything. We headed inside for a bit so they could grab a drink and bite to eat. They did, then curled up on their beds for a minute. When we headed back out, Buck went straight for his mysterious critter. I opened the gate and Chloe followed me in to go take a dip in the pool. She swam around for a bit. When I finally got Buck's attention, he came for a swim as well. He kindly came by me to shake off and share the water with me! Haha! Bootsie was curled up on the patio table for awhile. Then, he curled up on a chair. Buck did the same thing! I guess he was working on his tan. Haha! The pups had fun today, taking several swims in the pool.

Titus & Angel

This morning the pups were ready to go outside when I arrived. I put their collars on and set out their breakfast. While they were busy doing their thing, I went to water all the plants and gardens. Titus followed me around while I was in the back. He just couldn't wait until I was done! When I finished, he and I chased around for a little bit. It was a nice evening out for the pups. I saw Titus lounging in the grass when I came. He and Angel raced from one door to the next to see me. I got them their dinner, which they ate promptly. Then we headed out back to enjoy the beautiful night. Titus bounced around, then sat with Angel and I to get some attention.

Dillon, Ty & Boo

This morning the boys were quiet until they heard me. They bounced around at my feet, all the way to the door. Boo raced and sat on the table to watch. I saw they had gotten into a little mischief last night!  They had pulled a little stuffing from their bed and chewed on the black weight thing that was in the bedroom. I cleaned that up while they played outside. Boo jumped around on the bed and was being silly while he waited for me. Once I finished I went and sat outside with the pups, watching them play. This evening the boys had been very good. They bounced up and down at the gate when they saw me. Dillon was loving something he was smelling on my legs! His little nose was pretty much attached to me. I let them go play while I tended to the things I needed to do. Boo was flopping down on the floor in front of me, trying to get me to pet him as much as he could. He's so silly! It was a nice evening for the boys to play. And no muddy paws to clean off, so they were happy about that! They both sat for me while I cleaned their eyes before bed.
