Jack & Gracie

This afternoon Gracie was right at the door, ready to come in. Jack wasn't far behind her. Gracie ran right for her toys and brought over her little hedgehog for me to throw, just like old times! Jack sprawled out on the hardwood floor to cool off a little. I had Gracie zooming down the hallway and around the living room. She sure loves to slide on that floor. Later, she just wanted belly rubs and kept coming by me and would roll onto her back. Eventually, she was ready to play again and picked out her green bone toy for me to toss around for her. I made sure they had some fresh, cool water and gave them each a treat before I left. This evening Gracie was bouncing up and down at me as soon as I got in. I let the pups outside for a quick potty break. They came in and both ate their dinner for me. When they finished, we headed outside again for a bit. Jack sat with me for some back scratches, while I played fetch with Gracie. Soon we headed in since it was still pretty hot out. Gracie played a little more fetch. Then, Jack and Gracie had their wrestling match. They each got a treat before I left.

Sadi & Stormy

I wasn't greeted by miss Stormy today when I came in, so I went out on the patio to find her. She hopped down from her chair and started to roll around on the ground. She followed me inside while I got their food ready. Sadi was sleeping under the bed today and I felt bad that I had to wake her up! She was sleeping so soundly, all curled up in a ball. She got her meds, then I set her by the food. Today, she nibbled a little before coming in the living room. I sat down by her and gave her some attention. I found a good spot and had her little leg going. She kept scratching at me while I was itching her, trying to help me. Haha! Stormy walked a couple cirles around me, then laid in her spot on the cardboard.

Jackie & Meeko

This morning Jackie and I headed outside right away. He did his business, then we went in to feed Meeko. Jackie and I went on our walk right away. He bounced around for quite awhile before he sat to get his collar on. I guess he was just a little excited! We took a nice long walk. When we got home I let him eat his breakfast. Then, we spent a few minutes outside. Jackie was zooming around like a crazy man! He picked up his snake toy and brought it over. When I reached for it, he'd take off running laps and bouncing around the yard. What a goof! This afternoon the temperature wasn't as hot, but with the heat index and humidity it was pretty toasty. Jackie and I went outside while he enjoyed his last ice treat. He worked on that for quite awhile, then we went inside. Meeko came and curled up on my lap in the chair, wary of Jackie anytime he came close. But, while Jackie chased around his yellow ball, Meeko thoroughly enjoyed his one-on-one attention time. Jackie brought me his sock toy for some fetch, then he went back to playing with his ball. This evening, Jackie went out potty quick before dinner. Both Jackie and Meeko worked on supper, then Jackie and I played inside a bit. When he was getting bored with that, we went back outside. He played some keep away while prancing around with his stick. When it was time to head in, I got him a couple snacks to work on for his kong toy.
