Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning everyone was excited to go outside. I let them each out, then dried them off. It was time for breakfast, so I put them each in their beds to eat. Sadie and Cole finished quickly. I let Zoie out while the other two were in the living room with me, since that seemed to help yesterday. It worked again. Since she wanted to play, she quickly finished up, so she wouldn't have to protect it. Haha! Sadie and Cole were busy hogging my attention, so Zoie was sitting by the table crying at me. That got Sadie riled up. Then, the girls were racing laps around the table! This afternoon Zoie got plenty of fetch time in after they all went outside. She kept bringing me a tennis ball, so I'd bounce it down the hall for her. The other two were content getting their scratches. This evening Sadie spent awhile outside, enjoying the snow falling. After everyone ate, we spent some time in the living room before bed. Zoie came running in with something I didn't think she should have! Once I got it from her, I realized it was a little dog bootie. I don't know where she got that from! When it was time, I tucked everyone in bed for the night.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I came in and peeked in the living room to find Rusty all cozy on the couch. He was all snuggled in the blanket! I let Ruby out, then noticed the cute little kitten under the table. It was hissing as the dogs were going crazy! I picked the kitty up and set it somewhere safe from the commotion. The pups were both at the back door, waiting for me. I let them out and we headed outside. Rusty had his ball all ready to go. I tossed it around for him a little, then we went in to warm up. The pups both hopped on the couch and I sat with them and pet them a bit. The little kitten joined us and was playing in the window. I carefully bounced Rusty's ball around in the living room for him, since he kept putting it in my lap. Haha! Later, we went outside again so Ruby could have another potty break. I played fetch with Rusty some more before I left.

Flax

This morning the boys were in their usual spot, all toasty by the heaters. Boney got up and was following me around everywhere. Flax watched from his bed. I got them their breakfast, and both boys went to work on it right away. When Flax had enough, he went back to lay on his bed. I sat by him awhile and pet him. Little Boney came wandering over, wanting some pets too. Before I left, I took food out to the barn. I called for Booty, then heard a little meow coming from outside. Turns out, it was Boney. Haha! He came running over to check things out. I shooed him out of the barn and closed the door. This afternoon the boys were napping again when I walked in. I got them some fresh water. Boney tried coming in the house with me! I was able to stop him before he could run inside. Curious little kitty. As I was leaving, the boys both came outside. They wandered to the front yard together and were sniffing around at the snow. They're best buds! This evening my boys were snoozing, as usual. They both woke up when I turned the lights on. I got them their dinner and turned on their heaters. It was starting to snow pretty good again outside. The boys both worked on their food. Boney came over when he finished for the moment. He made me laugh! I was bending down to pet him and he started pawing playfully at my hair.
