Sadi & Stormy

This evening I didn't see or hear Stormy, so she must have been out watching the rain on her patio. Sadi was sleeping soundly in her bed. I woke her up for her evening meds and cleaned up her nose. She kept trying to wander off on me tonight! Haha. When we finished, I put her back in bed so she could return to her nap.

Daisy & Figaro

Today miss Daisy was sitting just around the wall by the bathroom. She meowed at me as I grabbed her bowl. Daisy waited until I delivered her food to hop down. I filled Figaro 's dishes while she ate. It was a rainy day again, so Figaro was holed up in her dry haven. I closed everything up when I was finished and went around front to go visit her a bit. She came wandering out and was loving up on me. She couldn't sit still and was enjoying her pets and chin scratches. We got a little wet in the rain, but not too bad. As I left, she crawled back in the garage to nap away the day.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I let Ruby out and she waited while I went to get the Rusty man. He finally got up, grabbed his ball and followed along. As soon as I opened the door and he saw it was raining outside, he turned around and headed back for his cozy chair. Well alrighty then! Haha. I made miss Ruby go out and I walked out into the grass with her. She kept looking at me to make sure I didn't leave her. She did her business, then we went back inside. She wandered off to go sit in the bedroom. Rusty was still lounging around in his chair.

Winston

I'm glad we took some longer walks the past couple days! It was dreary and rainy out today. Winston was a sleepy little boy when I got there. He did a big stretch, then he came out to get his harness on. We walked outside just long enough for him to do his business, then we went back inside the dry house. He ran and got his little squirrel toy to play with. We played a very light game of tug, but mostly he played fetch. One time I threw it, and he came back with his monster dude instead! Haha. We played with that awhile, then Winston got a little silly. He was busy sliding around on his front end on the floor. What a goofball!

Eddie & Butler

I let the boys out when I arrived today. Eddie went and grabbed his Kong toy and was busy prancing around with that. It was a yucky, rainy afternoon. The boys went out to do their thing, then that was about it. I got Butler to hold still long enough to apply his spray. He lounged around on the dry patio most of the time. I think he was sad he couldn't go out and play! Eddie hung around inside for awhile, but would come out occasionally to visit. The boys did wander out into the rain to explore a little later on, until it was time to head in.

Oscar

It was a rainy day today. I got to the house and Oscar met me at the door. He kept walking along side me and pushing his head against me for some pets. When we got outside he got a bunch of back and heiny scratches. He loved that up! He would walk one way, then turn and go the other, to make sure I got both sides well. Later, he went to lay in the grass up against the patio. He didn't seem to mind laying out in the rain. We listened to a woodpecker that I saw up in the tree, that was working on making a house. When the neighbors got home and let their pups out, Oscar ran over to say hi. When it was time, we headed inside and Oscar got all dried off. After his treats, he went to go lounge on the couch. Good day for a nap!

Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Madison & Max

It was a dreary, rainy day today. When I arrived, I let all the pups outside. They did their business, then came in for breakfast. Kylie was very talkative this morning! I think she was in a sassy mood. She kept hogging both their food dishes and wouldn't let Kaya come by either. Eventually, she settled down and let her sister join her. Everyone ate well this morning. When they finished, we headed outside. Kaya and Max stayed under the roof most of the time to keep dry. Kaya found a spot to lounge around and watch the others. Madison was busy exploring all over. Reese was just having a blast out there! She was racing around, chasing after Kylie, and just being silly. She was all wet and tried to hop in my lap to share! Haha. Later, I took a few minutes to clean up Madison 's eyes. She had some crusties and it was getting stuck on her hair, so she couldn't see too well. I got her all cleaned up and she was good to go! Of course, everyone had to gather around and even miss Kylie stuck her nose right in my face to sneak some kisses! Haha. This evening the little ones were bouncing around, ready to go out. Kylie was off in the bedroom giving me her "roo-roo"s. They all ran outside and went potty quick. It was still raining out. Hopefully we don't get too much more tonight... the pool is sooo full! The kiddos came back inside for dinner and everyone got to work right away. They're getting our routine down pretty good! Once they were done, it was back outside for awhile. Kaya pretty much laid back down in the same spot to keep dry and relax. Max and Madison wandered around on the patio, coming by occasionally and pawing at me. Kylie was doing her thing, exploring and checking out the holes in the yard for any critters she might find. Reese was usually on her heels, giving her a big tough "grrr"! Haha. She thinks she's such a big pup. I got everyone corralled and inside for the evening when it was time.
