Jack & Gracie

This morning was nice and cool outside, because it had stormed all night. I let the pups out for a little while. Gracie sat with me for some attention, while Jack wandered to the side of the house. I got them to come in later to eat their breakfast. We spent some more time outside after that. They both laid on the patio and just smelled the rainy air. Gracie didn't even bring a toy out for us. They came back in when it was time and got their treats. This afternoon Jack was sleeping soundly. I walked to the back door to let them out, and still no Jack! I went to find him, still snoozing under the desk. When he heard me come in, he got up and came outside with us. Both pups were wanting attention, so they stood by me for some back scratches. Jack was pretty excited about that! They spent some time wrestling around, then they relaxed awhile.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning the pups all raced outside to go do their business. It had stormed all night long, but wasn't raining when I got there. Bella sat with me to make sure I gave her all my attention. Louie and Chico wandered around and explored a bit before breakfast. Louie had the most wet paws, so I dried him off before sending him inside. Chico didn't appreciate me touching his paws much, so he didn't get quite the dry time. But, his paws are tiny! The boys went in to eat for awhile. Later, I let them come back out, but they wanted to stay in the dry house most of the time anyways. Bella finally left me long enough to get herself some breakfast too. This afternoon the pups all went outside for awhile. Louie came by me to get some some of his itchies scratched. Bella hogged most of my attention from Chico whenever he'd try to come say hi. Later, Bella and Chico raced around the yard together. They zoomed back and forth from one side to the other. I tried to get Bella to play fetch with me, but she just wanted to be pet instead! Louie came over again later, put his paws up against my legs, then sat and talked to me a bit. We headed inside after awhile and I got their peanut butter snacks for them. I didn't even have to go get Chico this time! This evening I got everyone their dinner after letting them all out. They each kind of nibbled the whole time. Chico kept getting excited about something at the front of the yard. So then, Bella would race over to help him check it out! I had seen a cat in the road as I pulled up, so maybe that was it. When it was time, I got the kiddos all tucked in for bed.
