Oreo & Stuffs

Today I came in and Oreo met me in the entryway to the living room. He led me to the kitchen, where he watched me get his yummy snack ready. I found Stuffs lounging in his closet kitty bed again today. Just in case he wouldn't want to get up again, I stopped to give him some attention right away. He enjoyed his pets and chin scratches. After that, I found Oreo was waiting for me at our spot. He laid next to me and enjoyed his attention as well. He rubbed his face in my hand to make sure I got all his itchy chin spots! After all that attention time, he worked up an appetite and had to go snack.

Gracie, Molly, Emma & the kitties

This morning I walked in and went to the counter to read mom's note. Since I had my back turned, I heard a grrr behind me from Gracie. The second I turned around to look at her, she instantly started scrambling, running towards me. "Oh, it's you!" She got all crazy excited right away. Haha! I let her out potty quick, then went to let the others out. Molly was laying on her pillow in the corner. To my surprise, she even got right up to go out. The two older gals got to spend some time out back. Meanwhile, Gracie, Micah, Henry and Charlie all came to greet me and get some attention. Gracie and I played with her pink squeaky dog toy for a bit until it was her turn to go back out potty again. This afternoon, Gracie met me at the door and was bouncing around happily. I let her out for a quick break, then it was Molly and Emma's turn. Gracie sat with me and got some pets. She kept running underneath my legs while I sat on the bench. Silly lady. When the girls were ready, I let Gracie spend some time out back as well. Molly went and laid on her blankies in the bedroom and Emma came to visit me for a bit. So far, Gracie hasn't torn anything up or gotten anything out that wasn't hers. ;) So far, so good! This evening, Gracie peeked around the corner to see who was here. Then, she raced over to me. I think she has just a little too much fun racing in place on the slippery floor! Haha! Gracie went out back while I I got dinner ready. Emma was watching me closely. I guess she was hungry! The older gals got their pills and then I gave them all their food. Molly wasn't too hungry tonight. She and Emma went out back for awhile when it was their turn. Smudge was being silly tonight, batting a ball around by the front door. When it was time, I tucked the pups in bed for the night with a bedtime cookie.

Pokey

This morning Pokey was laying on his chair facing the door. He rolled over for some morning belly rubs before we headed outside. Pokey's neighbor friends were out there this morning too. So, he would wander over to the fence to say hi to them. When they were busy running and barking at other neighbor dogs, Pokey would bounce over to the fence and chime in as well. He wanted to join in the fun! Around lunch time, Pokey was hanging out on the couch in the piano room. He sat up when I walked in, ran to me and rolled over for his tummy rubs. I let him outside and he had fun exploring for awhile. He stayed out awhile this afternoon since it was pretty comfortable out there. He had fun chasing after a flock of birds the hand landed below one of the trees. When we went back in, I got Pokey all excited to play with his little raccoon toy. We had fun chasing around. He would grab the toy and run all around the house! Haha. This afternoon Pokey was back on his chair, watching the front door to see who would arrive. After he got his tummy scratches, he went outside for a potty break. He didn't stay out there quite as long this time. But, he did his business and still got some exploring time in. When he got back inside, we snuggled up on his chair for a bit. After that, we had a short game of chasing around with his squeaky toy.

Bella & Chico

This morning I carried little Chico out of his bed and Bella ran to wait by the door for us. They went out for a little while to do their business. It was a bit drizzly out this morning, so they didn't stay out too long. Once they came in, they were both bouncing around me excitedly for some pets. Poor little Chico had to watch out, cause Bella was flailing legs like crazy! Haha. Those two had some fun playing in the living room this morning. They both would hunch down on their front legs in a playful pose. They'd stare each other down, then they'd zoom around the house. After some play time, they both took a break to snack on some breakfast. This afternoon they both zoomed out to head outside. It was actually somewhat warm out there, so the pups stayed out awhile. There were people out in the distance working on stuff, so that kept them occupied. After awhile, they came in and I got them each a lollipop rawhide. Chico hid under the chair to savor his. He sure liked that one. He even grrr-ed at me! "Paws off, this one's mine!" Haha. Bella took hers outside to work on. Chico only got part way done with his, so I put it up for him to work on another time. Miss Bella had no trace left of hers! This evening the pups raced to the door to head outside for their bedtime potty break. When they came in, they both worked on some dinner for me. Miss Bella was happy for some attention too! Chico would sneak in by me for some pets when Bella wasn't looking. Haha. When it was time, I got them tucked in their beds with a couple bedtime cookies.
