Sadi & Stormy

Today I saw both ladies lounging out on the patio, soaking up some sunshine. Stormy was on the table again, and Sadi was by the door. I got their food ready, then went to visit them. Both ladies stood up right away. Sadi wandered over to me while Stormy rolled around. I took Sadi in to get her meds first. Once she was finished, she nibbled on some food. I went out to grab Stormy next. She was not happy about that! She grumbled at me a little, but that was it. She took her meds and let me peek at her lip. Then she went off to go eat. Sadi enjoyed her brushing and chin scratches the rest of the time.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Kimmie was lounging at the top of her tower. Jerrie was at the bottom, laying in a patch of sunshine coming in. I went to take care of their things quick. I came back to find Kimmie's heiny sticking out from the curtains. Jerrie stood up and wandered to me for his brushing. He walked one way, then turned and went the other way, so I'd get both sides good. Kimmie had wandered back up to the top of her tower again. I got up to give her some attention as well. Jerrie just sat and looked at me, like he wasn't finished! Kimmie enjoyed rubbing her chin on the bristles. Then, I saw her playful look and she started getting sassy! So, Jerrie got his wish and he got more attention.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

This morning it had cooled off some. I went inside and heard the dogs start rustling around, when they heard the door close. I let Cate, Carson & Toby out for awhile. Bella was out there too, just hanging out on the fence. I went and watered the side and back plants. I gave Bella a bit more food, then it was time for the pups to come in. Little Foot was happy to go out and explore a little. He watched while I fed momma turtle. I went to water the front plants quick, and grabbed some cheese on my way back in for Toby's meds. Little Foot came back inside and everyone got a treat. This evening was hot and sticky again. I had vacuumed the dog room again this morning and it was already getting pretty fuzzy again. Toby is losing hair like crazy! I let the three out after I got them fresh water, then got them started on dinner while Little Foot went out. While they ate I got the trees and turtle nest watered. Bella was helping... a little too much! She tripped me while I was moving the hose. Haha! After dinner the pups all went out for another short potty break before bedtime.

Griffin & Macy

This morning both pups were awake as soon as I got inside. We all headed out back right away. They spent most of their time exploring and checking things out. Macy had fun rolling around in the grass this morning! Later, we headed back inside. Griff was bouncing around excitedly and being silly. Macy had some breakfast, while Griff laid down under the table. He sat up for awhile too, to get pet a bit. This afternoon it was heating up already, but still not too bad in the shade. Griff went to the middle of the yard, laid down and sunbathed awhile. Macy was busy sniffing around at everything. Later, Griffin curled up in the shady grass and listened to the noisy bugs outside. This evening the pups went outside for awhile. Something got them all worked up on one side of the yard! They both ran to the fence and barked a bit. Later, I heard some people passing by at the back of the yard. They did their thing, then we headed inside for dinner. It was pretty hot out tonight, so they didn't mind cooling off.
