Gracie, Molly, Emma & the kitties

This evening I spotted Smudge right away. Emma emerged and came to say hi. I checked outside for Gracie but didn't see her right away. I looked a second time, then she came running. I guess she was off exploring! I let the other two out while I got dinner ready. Miss Gracie had no reservations with me at all this time. She was being her silly self, running around and being excited. The pups all ate their dinners pretty quick. Emma went outside again, but Miss Molly was done for the night. Charlie and Henry joined us in the kitchen, wanting a bit of attention as well. When it was time, I got the pups tucked in for the night.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning everyone zoomed out of their beds. Bella gave me her hellos before I got them their breakfast. It was a little cool, but pretty nice out already this morning. Bella and Chico did a little exploring about the yard. Louie kept going from bowl to bowl to eat some food. Silly boy! This afternoon we all spent awhile outside. It was so nice out. Bella snuck in and grabbed a rawhide from somewhere, then laid in the garden. She looked like she was hiding in the wilderness in the tall brush. Haha! Chico came and sat in my lap for a bit, then he and Louie were roaming around. This evening, the pups did much better about eating their dinners. Bella would run over to me, to make sure she wasn't missing anything, then would return to her bowl.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

This evening Blackie came wandering in the kitchen to see me. I thought I'd see the others running up, but then I saw mom's note. I let all the kiddos out for a potty break. It didn't take long before they lined up at the gate, ready for dinner. I brought them each inside and got them their food. After they had some time to get a drink, it was back outside they went. It was very nice out! They had some time to run around and explore before bedtime.

Bradford, ZZ, Heighty & the gang

This afternoon Moody was meowing at me through the door when I walked in. He hopped along the furniture as I made my way to the door. The pups all came racing once I got outside. Sugar and Freckles both got to work on their food. The three little pups were hopping up and down at my legs. Heighty ran and grabbed a ball and kept tossing it over to me. We played fetch for awhile, until the other pups interrupted. This evening Moody got a few pets as I made my way outside. Heighty brought her ball over right away, while the others worked on dinner. Later, I headed inside and spent some time with Moody.
