Brady & Lucy

Tonight both pups met me at the door. They were bouncing up and down nonstop! We headed outside right away. Lucy made me laugh. She started tearing around the yard, running laps and barking without a care in the world. She'd zoom around, stop by me for a pet or two, then take off again. Brady came and rolled over for some belly scratches. Later, we went in and I got their dinner ready. Oddly enough, Brady wasn't too interested, but Lucy sat and nibbled on hers a bit. They were more interested in playing! We headed outside a bit longer until they were getting warm. I sat in the kitchen with them and they made me laugh some more. I had the inside door open. Brady would let out a little growl, then Lucy would zoom out the door to investigate! This happened about three or four times in a row. I'm not sure what they were so excited about. The neighbor dogs came out later, so Lucy and Brady raced them along the fence. I watched to make sure they didn't sneak out. When it was time, they headed inside for the night.

Jack & Gracie

This morning Gracie met me at the front door and Jack wandered over to the back door to go out. They took a potty break, then Jack was bouncing around excitedly, ready for his breakfast! He went in his room to eat, while I waited with Gracie. It took her a minute, but then she got started and finished off her food. We headed back outside for the rest of the time. It was pretty humid out this morning, so I decided to keep them in. While we were out there, Gracie brought me her bone for a little game of fetch. Then, she spent a good amount of time pestering Jack! Those two wrestled around and had some fun. This afternoon the pups and I sat outside. It was shady on the patio and there was a good breeze. Gracie and Jack both sprawled out in the grass and did some sunbathing. Later, Jack came and sat on the patio with me. Gracie roamed around and explored. I heard her crunching on something loud, so I went to check that out. She had a small piece of hard plastic that I had to confiscate. So, she decided to instigate a game of wrestling with Jack instead! This evening the pups went outside for a couple minutes. It wasn't long before Jack was getting excited for his dinner. We went in so they could eat, then spent some more time outside. Gracie brought another toy out tonight and I tossed it around for her. She and Jack spent awhile wandering around and sniffing at things. Jack came and laid at my feet until Gracie started pawing at him! We went inside and they continued their wrestling. Before I left, they followed me into the laundry room to get their bedtime snack.

Jackie & Meeko

This morning Jackie took his usual potty break before I got their breakfast ready. Jackie and I got ready, then went for a nice long walk this morning. Lots of people were out and about, so he kept getting excited, wanting to go say hi to everyone! Once we got home, Jackie worked on his breakfast, while Meeko got some attention. This afternoon Jackie went outside for a little while. Then, it was bath time! He was such a good boy for me. He stood there and lapped the water from the shower head while I scrubbed. He stood very still and didn't try to jump out once. I towel dried him, then he went tearing around the house like crazy! He was so funny. He went outside for a little bit afterwards, and I got him a kong snack before I left.
