Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let the boys out. Eddie ran outside right away, but Butler stayed in to say hi and visit me a bit. He wagged his tail as he got some pets and heiny scratches. Then, he joined his brother outside. They lounged around awhile, then played out in the grass. Eddie roamed in and laid on his ottoman. After a few minutes, he came and squeezed in the chair next to me. I guess he felt like snuggling today! Haha.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon Ruby came into the laundry room to see who was home. She then went to go lay back on her couch, when she saw it was only me! I had her come outside with me for awhile. She wandered around a bit and peed, then tried to head back inside. I called her back out and encouraged her to finish pottying for me. She did evetually, then sprinted back to the patio! She went in, so I joined her and made sure they had enough water. I went and visited with Rusty awhile too. He was just lounging in his chair in the front room.

Winston

This afternoon Winston was ready to go! The rain had stopped, so we were able to get a walk in today. We made our way outside and wandered around a bit. Winston took me all over today, while he sniffed and checked things out. Once he did his business, we made our way back towards home. Once inside and after he got his harness off, Winston was ready to play! He ran and grabbed his white bone and brought it over by me. We had a fun game of tug going. He was doing his silly bunny hops, trying to get it away from me. When it was time to go back to his room, he got a couple snacks.

Rusty & Ruby

This morning Katie was already outside when I got there. Ruby wandered out as well when I let the other girls out. I cleaned up their crate, then got them their breakfast. They ate that, then roamed around a bit. The boys got to go out, eat and play, while I cleaned up their stuff. This afternoon, Ruby, Katie and the girls went out for a potty break. It was very nice out this afternoon. The little girls were curious about the big kids in the pasture. It was cute how they looked up at them and wiggled their heinies. They got to run around and play for awhile, until it was the boy's turn. They had fun exploring while I cleaned up and got everyone fresh water.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon Eddie came running out of his bed and raced over to Butler's bed. He tackled his brother as he came out to join him. They ran outside to go play. I went out with them since it was so nice out. They both ran over and said hi, pawing at me and giving me kisses. After a few minutes, then wandered off to go lounge in the grass. They did a lot of relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather today.

Winston

This afternoon little bud did a big stretch while I opened up his gate. I got his harness on, then we made our way outside. It was such a nice day out again! We wandered around for awhile to enjoy the weather. Winston got all playful and tugged me around with his leash a bit. Once he got that out of his system, he sniffed around at things. When we got back home, I got him some food. He kind of looked at me funny for a minute, as if he was confused. "This isn't what we usually do." Finally, he went over and cleaned out his bowl. After that, he ran to the living room and started talking to me. He grabbed his little yellow dog and pranced around with that. I gave him some heiny scratches, then he rolled around wanting more pets. When it was time to go back to his room, I got him his treats, plus a few extra today.

Oscar

Oscar was spinning circles when I walked in today. He bounced around outside when we got out there, ready to play. He spotted a squirrel running across the top of the fence, so he had to investgate. He returned when the little guy ran off. I asked him where his frisbee was, which got him all excited, but he couldn't seem to find it on his own. Once I started going over towards it, he spotted it and beat me to it. We chased around for a little bit, and he jumped and got a few catches too. When the neighbor dogs came out, he went over to say hi to them. Oscar made me laugh today. When he got pooped out, he went and made a little nest out of the leaves by the fence and relaxed. Haha.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let the boys out, they quickly said their hellos, then Butler ran out. Eddie checked out his brother's bed and stole the cookie that was in there. Then, he went outside to play. The boys were talking with the neighbor dogs and racing around the fence. It was very nice out today, so they spent the whole time outside. When it was time to come in, I put Eddie in his bed and gave Butler some time to work on his food. He would come and take a nibble, then wander off. He would come back a couple more times, then that was it. He wasn't interested anymore.

Winston

Today little man did a big stretch, then waited by the door for his leash. We made our way outside. It was so nice out today! We walked around for awhile. Winston kept his eye on the geese that were floating around on the pond nearby. He checked out his tall grass and the trees and bushes. We roamed around until he was ready to go inside. As soon as he knew we were heading back, he got all spunky and was grabbing for his leash. He bounced around, tugging me along. Silly boy! When we got back home, he grabbed his blue toy and we had fun playing tug with that.

Rusty & Ruby

This morning I let the girls out for awhile. It was pretty nice out already this morning, so they were happy to roam around a bit longer than the last few days. After breakfast, Roxie was trotting around with her tennis ball. The girls came in, then the boys went out for their turn. They laid out in the grass, playing with their favorite ball. Then, Charlie was at the door, wanting to go in. I think he just wanted to see the girls. Haha. This afternoon I let Ruby and Katie out, then the other two girls. All four were having fun roaming around and chasing each other. Soon, it was time to head in. Charlie and Ranger were very excited to get outside. Ranger laid in the yard with his ball. Charlie was busy checking things out, looking for trouble! Haha.

Rusty & Ruby

This morning the girls were already out, so I helped clean up their bed. I got them their breakfast, which they finished up quickly. The girls ran around out there for awhile until it was time for the boys to go out. Charlie didn't want to stay out long again, and kept running back to the door. Neither really wanted to eat all their breakfast, so I put it in their bed with them to finish later. This afternoon I let Ruby and the girls out. Ruby was having fun racing around with them today. She seems to be getting more and more playful with them! She finally did her business, then all three were busy exploring. The boys came out next and had fun running around. They didn't mind staying out longer this time, since it was much warmer out.

Eddie & Butler

Today I let the boys out. They both circled me and said hi, then ran out to play. It was much nicer out today, so they spent awhile out there. They took turns coming in to see me. Butler hopped up on the chair next to me and pawed at me to play. I wrestled around with him for a bit. Eddie heard us and came in to play too. The boys messed around, then ran back out for awhile. They were busy laying in the grass and inspecting their holes out there when I went to get them in for the afternoon.

Winston

Today I let Winston out and he waited by the door for me. We went out and walked around a bit. Winston pulled me to his favorite spot and he bounced along in the grass. It was a little nicer out today, so we explored awhile after he did his business. As we were walking back, he got all crazy again and grabbed onto his leash. What a silly little boy! He was bouncing around pulling me along. I guess he wanted to walk me today instead. Haha. He ran to the top of the stairs and pulled me up. "C'mon hurry up!" We got inside and he was ready for a game of tug with his rope. He rolled around and was grr-ing, being silly. Winston ran and got his yellow dog and set it next to me.

Oscar

Today Oscar met me at the door and began bouncing around. He ran to the door and waited for me. We made our way outside. It was much nicer out today, so we spent the whole time out there! He laid in the grass for a little bit. I went and got his frisbee, then he popped right up. I threw it pretty far, so he sprinted across the yard to catch it! We chased around and had some fun. He tried to play tug with his frisbee, but I didn't want him to rip it. He was a good boy and gave it to me, when I could catch him. Haha! We went inside when it was time and he got his snack. His tootsies were a little dirty, but he was a good boy and stood there while I wiped them off. He started going through his tricks when we were done, ready foe his treat. I gave him a blueberry cookie first, but he wanted to save that for later.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I got Ruby to come outside with me. I let the girls out as well. Ruby and those two all picked the same spot to potty today. Silly girls! Ruby took some coaxing to finish her business. After that, she and Roxie were busy playing. Little white pup wanted to go in pretty soon after that, since she was chilly. They all came inside to warm up. Next, it was the boys' turn. Charlie sure didn't like the cold! He quickly did his business, then was already pawing at the door to go back in. I made him stay out with me just a little longer. He and Ranger had a romp around the yard after that, until it was time to head in.

Winston

This afternoon I got little Winston ready for his walk. It was very chilly out today! Winston tiptoed across the ice out into the grass. He peed, then we walked around a bit. He seemed excited to get down to the tall grass today and was walking faster and faster! Either that, or he was eager to do his business, since his tootsies were cold. I tried keeping him back at a slower pace, so I didn't slip and fall. Haha. Winston did his thing, then we headed back inside. He bounced up and down after I took his harness off. He grabbed his rope toy and started talking loudly to me. We played tug and he did his little bunny hops backwards.

Oscar

This afternoon Oscar met me at the door, then raced to the living room. He was bouncing around excitedly as I said hi. We made our way outside for his potty break. He wandered around for a minute, then grabbed his frisbee. He grrr-ed at me, wanting to play! I tossed his frisbee for him a few times. He wanted me to play chase too, but I didn't want him to get all muddy before his date! :) After a little bit we went inside to warm up. Sure was chilly out today! We played tug with one of his toys for awhile. I noticed there was a book on the floor in the office. Looks like Oscar was doing a little light reading today, and he was not impressed with that one. Haha. I picked it up and put the box of other books up higher, so he didn't check any more out today.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out first, then Butler. The boys said hi and made their way outside. It was cold out today, but they seemed to enjoy it! Butler sat on the edge of the bench, his hair blowing in the wind. Haha. He just watched from his spot, as his brother was busy exploring the yard. Eddie was sniffing around by the fence for awhile. He would venture inside to say hi to me and get his pets. When it was time, the boys came in and went right to their beds.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo was making his way through the dining room to see me. As I was getting their food ready in the kitchen, I saw Stuffy walk by. He was heading in to sit by the fire that I had all ready for him. I sat by him when I finished taking care of their things. Stuffy walked around me a little, then laid down. He rolled to his side for some belly rubs while he got nice and warm. Oreo wandered in after a few minutes and laid down by me for some chin scratches. He was being lovey and rolled around by me. He got up not long after that, to go snack on his food again. Oreo returned much quicker this evening, and this time he stayed by us for some more pets until it was time to go.

Oreo & Stuffy

This evening, Oreo was looking out the window at me as I was walking up to the house. I came in and saw Stuffy sitting in the living room as well. Oreo followed me to the kitchen, as usual. He sat and waited for his yums! I turned the fireplace on for the boys while I was there. The boys both came to sit by me for a little attention, and to get nice and toasty by the fire. Oreo was being a little antisocial tonight. Haha! He only stayed for a few minutes, then wandered off to snack. Stuffy was content, and rolled to his side for some tummy rubs. I heard Oreo walking around in the entryway, so he must have been hanging out over there. Eventually, he came back and sat with us for a little bit again.

Friday, November 14, 2014

Oreo & Stuffy

This evening I walked in and both boys were just hanging out in the living room. Stuffy was all snuggled up on his ottoman. Oreo was lounging on the floor, but got up to come see me. He followed me to the kitchen for his dinner. Oreo met me back in the living room. He curled up by me and got all cozy by the fire. He laid to his side and enjoyed his pets and chin scratches. Stuffy didn't move an inch the whole time. He got his share of pets from where he was as well.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out and he nearly plowed me over when he came out! Haha. I let Butler out next and he did his big stretch. The boys didn't waste any time today and ran outside to go play awhile. Neighbor dogs were out today, so that kept the boys pretty busy. They were racing back and forth along the fence. Butler was bouncing up and down in the corner. Then, he would stand ever so still and wait for the neighbor dog to move or say something. Haha!

Rusty & Ruby

This morning I opened the garage and the girls ran out! I guess they were having some fun in there. Haha. I got them out back while I cleaned up their mess and got their breakfast ready for them. They wandered around outside for awhile this morning. When they were tiptoeing because their tootsies were cold, I let them back inside to warm up. I let the boys outside for their breakfast and potty break. They ran around and played with their ball. Charlie thought it would be fun to play with the white scoop on the patio, so I had to put that up higher. Such a trouble maker! Haha. This afternoon I got miss Ruby outside and brought the girls out as well. Ruby kept trying to run around with them instead of going potty. Finally she went, then she got to zoom around. All three were busy exploring for awhile. It warmed up a little this afternoon, so it was pretty nice out. When it was time, the girls all came in and the boys went out. They raced around and were busy wrestling around with each other. I dumped the big ice cube out of the water bucket out there and those two had a blast pushing it around and chomping ice bits off of it! Haha. They even teamed up to try and each grab a side to carry it around. It was quite hilarious!

Sadie & Cole

This morning I let the pups outside for their potty break. Cole wandered out to do his business, then came back to the door to go inside. Sadie was saying hi to the neighbor pups. She explored for a few minutes, then came in as well. I got Cole his medicine, then fed them their breakfast. Cole wanted to go curl up on his bed after that. Sadie sat with me for some pets until it was time to go.

Eddie & Butler

Today I let the boys out and they got all rambunctious inside. They wrestled around, then ran out to play. It was another cold afternoon, but they played out there the whole time. The neighbor pup came out, so they were busy talking to him through the fence. Eddie would wander inside now and again to give me kisses and get his heiny scratches. When it was time, I went out and got them. They wandered in and went to their beds like good boys!

Winston

Today I got little Winston ready to go for our walk when I arrived. We made our way out and wandered around for awhile. It wasn't as windy out today, so wasn't quite as cold as it was yesterday. So, we were able to walk around a little longer this afternoon. When we were headed back home, Winston thought it would be fun to play with his leash again. I don't know what made him start doing that, silly boy! He was grabbing on and tugging on the leash all the way back. When we got inside, I got his harness off. He went and grabbed his yellow dog toy, so we played with that a bit. Then, we got a game of tug in with his rope toy.

Oscar

Oscar was bouncing around the house when I came in today. We headed outside for his potty break. He went and grabbed his old frisbee right away, wanting to play a game. I grabbed his new one and tossed it to him. Then, we chased all over the yard! Haha. He thinks it's just so much fun when I run after him. Goofball! He wouldn't actually let me have the frisbee again though, so I couldn't throw it for him anymore. Later, he laid in the grass with his old one again and was busy chewing on it. He found a stick in the grass when he went roaming around, that he chomped into tiny pieces too! It wasn't nearly as cold out today, or just wasn't as windy, so we got to spend a lot more time out there. We did come in a few minutes early to play. Oscar bounced around and went to get his yellow toy out of the pile. We had a good game of tug with that until it was time for his snack.

Rusty & Ruby

This morning I fed little white pup quick, then let the girls outside. Ruby had come to say hi to me while I got water ready for outside. The girls didn't want to stay out in the cold real long. The boys went outside to potty next. They were having fun running around and playing with a bone they found out there. They were busy taking turns to chew on it. This afternoon I had Ruby come outside with me to do her business. The boys got to come out for awhile after that. They were busy playing with Katie out there. She was having fun chasing those two around and trying to steal their ball. Haha.

Sadie & Cole

This morning I came in and let the pups out. They both followed me to the door to go outside. The wind had died down quite a bit, so it didn't feel quite as cold out. Cole roamed around out there for a few minutes, then made his way inside. Sadie wandered around for awhile, then came in as well. They were ready to eat! Cole got his medicine, then I got them their breakfast. Cole wanted to snuggle up on the bed, so I put him up there. Sadie went out again for a little bit longer. This afternoon the pups were passing by the laundry room and already lining up at the door for me. I let them out for awhile. Cole still didn't like the cold, so he did his business and came in. Sadie laid out in the grass and gnawed on her bone. She came in after a bit and they sat by me for some attention. This evening I let the kiddos outside again for their bedtime potty break. They did their business, then Cole was ready to come in. Sadie was busy exploring in the dark for a bit. When it was time, they came in for dinner.

Winston

It was another chilly afternoon outside! Little Winston did a big stretch as he got up from his bed to see me. I got him leashed up, then we made our way outside. We wandered around for a bit and he had fun romping through the tall grass today. Once he did his business for me, we headed back home to warm up. I got his harness off and asked where his toy was. He raced off to go grab his rope toy for us to play with. We got a nice long game of tug in today! I think he would've played all day if I let him. Haha! Sometimes he would take a break and would come over, talking all tough to me, and we'd wrestle around. Then, he'd run back to his rope and give me a big "grrr"!

Eddie & Butler

It was cold and windy out today. I let Eddie out of his bed and he bounced around excitedly. I opened Butler's door, then Eddie stuck his head in and tried to tackle him before he even had the chance to come out! Those two crazy boys wrestled around in the living room for a few minutes. Then, they went outside to play. They didn't seem to mind the cold at all. Both boys lounged around out there until I went to get them back inside.

Oscar

Today Oscar met me at the door and was bouncing around excitedly! I said hi, then let him out. It sure was cold out there today!  He did his thing and wandered around for a little bit. We went inside for some play time today. He went and grabbed his fox and started to grrr at me. I grabbed on and he played tug. Next, I tossed it for him. He just looked at it. "Nah, let's play with this instead!" He went and grabbed his dragon toy, which was much closer. Haha! After awhile, he decided to go grab his bone from the toy corner. He laid down and chewed on that a bit. I had him come back outside with me for another quick potty break. This time, he grabbed his frisbee and wanted to play, so we chased around with that for a little bit too.

Rusty & Ruby

The morning Ruby said hi to me in the laundry room, while I gathered up dishes for breakfast. I let the girls out, fed them, and got the frozen bowls filled with fresh water. I cleaned up their bed, since they had a little booboo in there. The boys were bouncing around excitedly, waiting for their turn! The girls didn't want to stay out long, since it was quite cold out. They were scratching at the door to come inside. The boys went out for their turn, while I cleaned up their crate next. They were busy running around and playing, so they didn't seem to mind the cooler air. This afternoon I had Ruby come outside with me and got the two girls out as well. Ruby took a little coaxing to do her business. It didn't help that the girls kept running over by her, trying to get her to play! Haha! She actually bounced around a little and seemed like she wanted to. When it was time, Ruby went in and I put the boys out for awhile. I found their glow ball and tossed that outside for them. They were pretty much occupied with that the entire time!

Sadie & Cole

It was very cold and windy out today. I got the pups up and outside for their morning potty breaks. Neither really wanted to stay out long today. Brrr! The fish food bucket had blown over in the wind again, so I relocated it again. Hopefully it won't tip over anymore. Haha. Sadie and Cole sat with me for some attention this morning. I got them their breakfast and Cole took his morning pill. This afternoon, both pups came to see me right away, and we went to the back door. They both wandered around outside for awhile. It was still cold and windy, but at least the sun was warm. When they came in, we sat and they got some pets. Cole got to snuggle up on the bed before I left. This evening the kiddos were ready to head outside. Cole wandered out to the grass and did his business right away. He sniffed around a little after, then was ready to come in and warm up. Sadie was exploring in the dark. She was getting a little wound up out there for some reason! Haha. She came zooming in when I opened the door. Those two sat with me for a little attention again, before we went to get them their dinners. They got to go out to potty once more before bedtime.

Winston

This afternoon I got Winston ready to go and we headed outside. Brrr! It was sure chilly out there today! We wandered around for awhile and he did his business. His neighbor bulldog friend came out for a potty break too, and he really wanted to go say hi. Haha. We didn't spend as long out there this afternoon, since it was cold and very windy out. As we were headed back home, Winston decided he was going to take me for a walk instead! He grabbed a hold of his leash and was pulling me along. Haha! He held on all the way back to the house. Once we got inside, I got his harness off, then it was time to play. I found his rope toy and we had a good game of tug going. Then, he wanted to play with his blue ball. He makes me laugh. He would bark at me with it in his mouth and try to sound all tough. Then, he would set the ball near my hand. "Here you go, let me help you play!" As soon as I grabbed a hold with even just one finger, then it was on! He would be bouncing backwards and tugging with all his might. Silly little boy. :)

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out first. Next, I opened the door for Butler. His brother somehow bumped into the door and closed it on him! haha. So, Butler waited for me to open it again before he came out. The boys ran outside to play for awhile. They were busy talking to the neighbor dog when it came out for a potty break. The boys both ran in to come tackle me for some attention after awhile. Eddie returned again after that to give me a few slobbery kisses too. The boys didn't seem to mind the colder weather today. I had to go out and get them. Eddie was busy trying to find something in the grass. When they saw me, they were both good boys and wandered into their beds.

Sadie & Cole

This morning it was super cold out, and very windy too! I let the pups out of their beds and got them out for their potty breaks. Cole was very quick about his business. I noticed Sadie kept eating something off the patio. As I was going to feed the fish, I realized their bucket was missing. The wind blew it away, and it was still upright, but must have blown a few pellets out of it. She was ready to come in pretty quick this morning as well. I fed them breakfast, then let her back out front to make sure she went potty for me. This afternoon I let the kiddos outside and went to water the plants quick. Two of those had been knocked over by the strong winds today! Sadie stayed out for a little while, but she soon wanted in. They sat with me in the kitchen for some attention. They're so jealous of each other! Even if I'm petting them both at the same time, they're pawing at me. "No, just pet me!" Haha. I put Cole up on the bed before I left, so he could have a cozy nap. This evening, both pups met me in the laundry room. Cole went out and quickly went potty. Sadie spent a little while outside exploring. Soon, it was time for dinner and then time to get tucked into bed for the night.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let the boys out and Butler got his spray. His chest seems to be looking a lot better lately. They ran outside to play for awhile. When I got out there, they both had to run over to say hi. Butler would hop up on the table to try and get closer than Eddie. They both gave some kisses, then went to do their own thing. Butler lounged around in the grass, while Eddie found a spot on the patio. It was quite nice outside, so they laid around and enjoyed the weather.
