Susie & Frank Fritz

Today Frank was right at the door to see me. Susie was lounging in her bed. I said hi to them both and grabbed their food dishes. Frank came inside with me to get them their dinner. Susie waited in her bed for me to return, and Frank hopped in his. They both worked on their food. Frank came and sat with me for some attention once he finished. I went in to get them some fresh water and a cool snack. They both sat nicely to get them! Frank had a hard time finding the perfect spot to relax and enjoy his snack. Susie was long done with hers when he finally laid down. She came over to me and got some attention while he was occupied. She wasn't quite able to do that yesterday! Later before I left, I got them one more snack for being so good. Frank gave me a laugh. Instead of eating his, he was trying to bury it! He dug a spot in the gravel, put it in and pushed the gravel over it with his nose. What a silly boy! When he saw I was watching, he quickly grabbed it back out and hid it in his mouth until he could bury it again without my watching him. Haha!

Mindy Lou & Chupie

This morning I saw the outside kitties had polished off the bowl of food I had left them last night. I took it in and went to see my little lady! She was snoozing in the bedroom again. As soon as I turned on the light, she woke up. I asked if she wanted to go, but she just stayed laying down. She put her head down and wagged her tail. She just wanted some love before we went! I sat with her and pet her a bit before we got on our way. We were able to take her full walk today. She enjoyed the cooler weather and was getting along much faster. This evening I went in and got things ready. I went to the bedroom to find Mindy. As I flicked on the light, she was already up and making her way to the doorway. She came outside with me and we went for our walk. It was pretty hot out again, but it was cloudy, so it didn't feel quite as bad. We were able to get her whole route in without me worrying. Her little sniffer was busy and she was stopping here and there to check things out. On our way back, she got ahead of me a ways. She stopped and turned around, then seemed surprised I was so far back. She stayed right there and waited for me to catch up! She greeted me with a happy wag of her tail, then we continued on. Miss Chupie was sitting in her corner when we got back. I peeked back there at her and she went into hiding. Mindy sat with me a couple minutes before I left, to get some love.

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys were up and ready to see me. They took a potty break before breakfast. Once Clyde finished, they happily followed me to the garage to get ready. We took a nice long walk around the neighborhood. It was slightly cooler this morning, compared to our walk last night. This afternoon the boys went out in the backyard to enjoy their dental snacks. Taz laid in the grass to work on his. After they finished, they were checking out areas by the fences. They kept getting excited any time they'd see a dog or person pass by. This evening I could already tell that Clyde was all excited for his walk! I let them take their potty break, then they came in for dinner. Both boys polished off their bowls before we headed out. We took a nice long walk this evening. It was actually pretty nice out, with a nice breeze. They got to spend a few more minutes in the backyard once we got home, while I refilled their water dishes.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Blackie & Sparkles

This morning I let the little ones outside right away. We stayed out for a little while, since it was pretty nice out. Gabbie discovered a frog in the grass! She was quite fascinated with it. She kept bouncing in circles around it, bopping the top of it with her nose occasionally, trying to get it to move. Hudson came running over to see what she was up to. He wasn't quite as amused, and wandered off again. Hudson and Gabbie went inside while I went to fetch Zel for breakfast. After they finished and played inside a bit, we went back out. Blackie came and sat by me for some pets, and eventually laid at my feet. Hudson's friends next door came outside and raced with him. The husky jumped over his fence and raced around in the field between the yards. Gabbie was looking for her frog, but he was gone now. Miss Zel hung out by the fence, still looking for something. This evening Blackie wandered out to explore a little while I let Hudson, Zel and Gabbie outside. They played for awhile. Zel was having fun running over to the fence to try and chase after the birds. Gabbie was rolling around in the grass being silly. Hudson and Gabbie came in for dinner. Zel wasn't coming when I called, so I let her play a bit longer. I fed the other two right away. I kept an eye through the window for her, and went out a couple more times to call for her. Finally, Zel was ready to come in and eat. I made sure the other two let her finish her dinner, then we all spent some time inside since it was hot out. Gabbie and Hudson were having fun chasing and wrestling around. Zel had some spunk in her and was zooming and bouncing about. They went out to play some more before bed.
