Winston

This afternoon Winston had a big yawn when I walked in. He stretched while I opened up his gate. We got his harness out and he was a good boy as always, while I put it on him. We made our way out and he smelled something interesting. He had to check that out for a bit. Then, we wandered out to the grass so he could do his business. Later, a couple ladies were outside admiring him on their way to the car. Haha! He's such a handsome little man. We walked around for awhile until I saw he was getting warm. We went in so he could cool off. He grabbed his little raccoon toy and we had a nice long game of tug.

Winston

This afternoon Winston was doing his stretch again, then we went on our way. He led the way as we wandered around this afternoon. He saw some people out working on the lawn nearby and he huffed and puffed at them a little. Haha! Winston was busy checking things out as usual today. He saw a grill sitting outside and went over to sniff at that. I bet he smelled some good stuff! Later on we went inside to cool off and play a bit. He was being silly, rolling around on the floor when we got inside. Then, he ran and got us a toy to play fetch with. After awhile he was done with that, but decided he was going to roll around some more and get some tummy and heiny scratches!

Oscar

This afternoon Oscar was right at the door to see me. He started bouncing and turning in circles as we made our way to the door. Happy boy! Haha. As soon as we got out there, he had his sights locked on his squirrel friend again. Soon, Oscar was finding a spot in the sun to warm up and relax. He had to go patrol the front of the yard for a bit as well. He saw some people out walking today. Oscar let me know when he was ready to head in and cool off. Since we had a little time left, we got to play with some of his toys for a bit. Oscar snacked on his food a little too before I left.

Winston

Today Winston did a big stretch while he waited for me to open his gate. I got his harness on and away we went! It sure was toasty outside today. Winston did his business for me. After that, he was watching a lady walking in the distance. Next, it was time to go sniff around. I had a little laugh at how he kept to the shade as much as he could. He'd see a shady spot and go running for it! Haha. We wandered around for awhile, then it was time to go in and cool off. Winston waited for me to take his harness off, then he was ready for playtime! I grabbed a rope toy and we played tug for awhile.

Winston

This afternoon Winston was waiting by his gate, ready to come out. He pranced over to the door to wait for me. After he got his harness on, we headed out. Winston had to check out the first bush we came to. After that, he spotted a couple other dogs across the way. They were pretty far from us, but he made sure to stop and watch them for a bit. After they wandered off out of sight, we continued on our leisurely stroll. Winston led the way again today and got to work out his sniffer. He was getting a little toasty this afternoon, so we headed back a few minutes early to cool off. Winston slid around on the floor until I took his harness back off. Goofy boy! Then, he had to show me each and every toy today! He couldn't decide which to play with. Haha. So, we played a little fetch with all of them.

Oscar

I came in today and since Oscar wasn't by the door, I slowly peeked around the corner. He was standing at the edge of the living room, waiting to see who was home. He saw it was me and started bouncing around excitedly! I gave him some hello pets, then he made his way to the door. As soon as he got outside, Oscar ran to the edge of the patio and stopped suddenly. I knew exactly what he was looking at! There was a little squirrel traipsing around on the other side of the fence. I guess that's why he didn't try to go chase it! Haha. After the squirrel ran up a tree, Oscar finally found a spot to lounge in the grass. He did lots of sunbathing today. I got him some fresh water in his bowl outside, which he got up to check out. When it was time, we headed in for his snack!

Winston

This afternoon little Winston was wiggling his heiny in his room when I came in. I let him out and he ran to the door to wait for me to put his harness on for him. We made our way outside for a nice little walk. Winston did his business right away. After that, we did some exploring. He had to make sure and check out all the trees. A butterfly floated past him and he was curious about it, then went to follow it for a second. So cute! I let him lead the way while we wandered around. We headed back in and got a little game of tug in before we were done.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups went out back to do their thing. I got their breakfast ready while they were out. I put some canned food in Billy's bowl for an extra little snack this morning. She's been doing so well! By the time I was done, Billy and Quinney were both waiting at the door to come in and eat. I got Oreo some breakfast while they worked on that. The kitties got their windows open and their faucet turned on. Pepper hopped up on the counter right away for a few pets. Salt was standing in the doorway to see what we were up to. Soon, it was time to let the pups outside again. The kitties were waiting for me to return. We got some playtime in with their string. This evening, the pups went out while I got their dinner ready. They came in and Quinney worked on his. Billy was too excited to eat. They zoomed out of their beds when it was time and we went out back. I got them some fresh water out there and we played for a few minutes. The kitties were sitting and waiting for me. Salt played while Pepper got her pets. Before I left, I went to turn their sink off. Chili had been busy getting a drink, and she waited on the counter to get a little attention. Everyone did great! They will be happy to have their family home soon! :)

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the kiddos raced outside, ready to play. Panda was bouncing up and down at my feet. "Give me my toy!" Haha. I did and she ran off, having fun shaking it around. Molly was off searching for critters. I went and watered the plants while they were busy. Molly had found a giant toad by the time I got back. Silly girl. Bubba and Panda got some fetch time in. Panda was happy to switch toys, so we got lots of throws in for them to chase after. Later, we headed inside and I gave Tux his medicine, topped off their food and water, and gave them an extra cookie for being so good!

Oscar

This afternoon my buddy met me in the hall for some hello pets. He led me to the back door and we headed outside. Oscar came over for some more pets again today, before picking out a spot in the grass to lounge. It was toasty out there today. Oscar did plenty of sunbathing, then he let me know he wanted to go in and cool off. He got a drink and I refilled his bowl for him. Then, we had a little play time with his lobster toy!

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the crew went outside with me when I arrived. Panda was bouncing up and down, ready for a toy. I went and took care of the plants, while the pups tagged along. Molly checked out the bushes, while Tux had his eye on the pond. He must have been looking for critters. Afterwards, Bubba and I got a good game of fetch. Panda would run along with him most of the times, and she was a little better about sharing this morning. Haha. This afternoon, I let the pups out. Molly went straight for the corner by the garbage can to get something. I thought maybe she had her frog friend at first. But this time, Panda was very intrigued as well. She made me laugh so hard. Panda went to check it out and jumped about 3 feet straight up in the air! That was the funniest thing! So, I went over to check out what they'd found. It was a teeny baby snapping turtle. And boy he was sure trying to defend himself. I picked it up to try and move it away, but the girls tried to get it from me. When it was time to go in, I had to get Molly since she wasn't giving up. This evening, the pups raced out back to play. Bubba and I got a little fetch time in, but Panda was trying to hog all the toys to herself. Molly helped too. Haha. We went in when it was time for bed and they got their cookies, and Tux his bedtime medicine.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups were getting all excited in their beds when I first came in. I let them out back for their potty break. Miss Billy hadn't eaten dinner, so she got some yums mixed in with her food. They came in and both licked their bowls clean for me. Oreo got some breakfast quick, then the pups and I headed out back again. I got them some more water in their bowls out there and we had some fun playing with the hose. Billy got so excited after she got to take a drink from it. Haha! The pups wandered around a bit, then Billy came to get some pets. I went in to check on the kitties and open their windows for them. Pepper wanted her attention. Salt got to play a little bit with the string and the green tunnel. Chili was being shy this morning and hung out under the bed for the most part. This evening the pups went out and came back in for their dinners. I finally got to see one of the hermit crabs tonight, moving around! I wasn't quite sure if they were still in there. Haha. Oreo got some carrots and hay, then a few pets as well. The pups went out back to play, while I visited with the kitties tonight. Salt and Pepper were busy playing at first. Pepper was going crazy, jumping around on the bed and chasing the string! Then, Pepper was in quite the lovey mood. She snuggled up next to me, just laid there and purred away.

Oscar

This afternoon I came in and Oscar met me around the corner. He did his little prancy dance while I scratched his heiny. We went out back and he came over to me for some more pets. After that, Oscar found a nice spot in the grass to get some sunbathing in. It was a beautiful day! He moved from spot to spot, and did a little exploring. I got him some fresh cool water so he could get a drink out there. When we went inside, he did some tricks for me to get his snack. Such a good boy!

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups went out back for their potty break. Billy had eaten her dinner overnight for me. I got them their breakfast, some fresh water, then fed Oreo. The pups came in to work on that while I went to check on the kitties quick. I went to let the pups back outside. Billy was bouncing and springing around to the door like a little baby deer! Haha. They ran out back to play. After I visited with them a little, I went in to spend some time with the kitties. Pepper and Salt were ready for some play time! They were busy stalking their string. After awhile, they wandered off and Chili decided to come see me. Chili got a little play time on her own, then went to get a drink from the faucet. This evening, the pups were excited to go out back. They had eaten well again, so I got their dinners ready. Billy came in first, while Quinney was finishing his business. He came in next and worked on his food. Billy seems to like to eat hers after I leave. Oreo got some carrots and hay to crunch on. Salt was stretching again as I walked in their room. I closed all the blinds and scooped their box, then turned on their water. The pups went back outside to run around and play. Pepper and Salt were waiting for me when I returned. Pepper rolled around on the floor, purring away and enjoying her pets. Salt was checking out the kitty tunnel and chasing the string. Chili was hanging out under the edge of the bed, just watching.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the pups were at the door, barking to announce my arrival. Molly was busy trying to get behind the garbage can to check things out. I was curious what she was after! I gave Panda a ball to run around with. Then, I worked on watering plants. When I was finished, I saw Molly had found her friend. It was a frog! She was all foamy from trying to carry it in her mouth too. Haha. I tried to get her to leave it, but she didn't want to give up. Panda had Tux busy chasing her around. After their playtime, we went in and Tux got his medicine. This afternoon, I got two toys down for the pups to play with. Panda was pretty occupied with hers, so Tux and I actually got a good game of fetch in! Molly ' s friend was back again, by the garage. So she was busy with that the whole time. This evening, the pups ran out back to play. Panda and Tux were waiting for me to get their stuff down for them. We played as long as Panda would let us. Haha! Molly joined in tonight and stole the tennis ball. She had a blast tossing it around to herself and prancing around. Later on, we went in and they got their bedtime cookies. Tux also got his pill.

Hunter & Riley

This morning the kiddos were ready and waiting for me. Hunter led the way to the door and I let them out back. They had eaten almost all of their dinner last night. I opened up blinds and got their breakfast ready for them. Outside, Hunter was ready for his game. I told him to go get his ball. Then, we played a short game of fetch. After that, it was a nice relaxing morning. The pups lounged around most of the time. They heard the neighbor dog come outside, so later they ran over there to check that out. Hunter was even crying! Haha. Soon, it was time to head in. They ate well this time again and didn't have any accidents. Yay!

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the pups came outside with me when I arrived. I gave Panda a ball right away, since she kept jumping up at me looking for one. Haha. She ran off, shaking it with her head, Bubba following along behind. I went and watered the plants quick. Molly was tagging along, checking out the bushes by us. When we were done, Tux was ready for his game. Panda stole his favorite ball right away. Today, he sure didn't want to settle for the other one! He kept chasing after her and they ran circles around and around me. Haha! This afternoon the pups ran out back for their playtime. Miss Molly was busy exploring around the yard and checking out the trees and bushes. Panda and Tux kept me busy playing fetch with them. Miss Panda decided to kill Bubba's favorite ball this afternoon, so we had to put that away. Poor Bub! I grabbed their tennis ball and thrower and we had fun playing with that instead. This evening, the pups came out to do their business. Molly found a big bug in the driveway and was entertained, pawing at that for quite awhile! Ha! Panda had taken one of Tux's toys, so I tossed the other for him. Then, they'd switch and take turns. I had to have them take a break for awhile since it was hot and they were panting pretty good. They relaxed for a bit. We got a little more playtime in before we headed inside for their bedtime snacks.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning Billy and Quinney went out for their potty break. They had eaten overnight, so I got their breakfast ready. They still weren't ready to come in, so I got Oreo some breakfast also. The pups came in and worked on their food. Pepper and Salt were both waiting in the bedroom for me to come in. I turned on the water and Pepper was up on the counter, ready for a drink. I went to let the pups back outside and went out with them for a bit. When I came back in to see the kitties, Chili was on her way out of the bathroom from getting a drink. Pepper was happy to get some attention and loved up every minute. This morning, it was Salt who was up on the bed, having a blast chasing after the string! Chili was hanging out below the bench, just watching. This evening the pups went out and did their thing. I saw the back neighbor was busy pressure washing their side of the fence. The pups came back in right away for dinner. While they ate, Oreo got some carrots and hay to munch on. The pups went out and Billy went right to the water spraying through the fence boards. I went out back to get them some water and to keep her occupied for a little while. Haha. The kitties only got a few minutes of playtime and pets this evening, but they were happy to see me.

Hunter & Riley

This morning I let the pups out right away. They had eaten well overnight again. I got their breakfast ready and tended to my other things quick, then I went out back with them. Hunter spotted me before I even got outside, and he was ready for his game! He went and brought his ball over for me. I tossed it a few times for him and he raced off to go get it. We had to watch out for Riley! Haha. She was busy exploring and would sometimes walk right into his path. I told him when we were done. Then, they both lounged around and enjoyed the outdoors. Hunter went and grabbed a toy out from under the table out there. When we went inside he brought it along and pranced around with it. Riley went off to bed right away. Haha. This afternoon I gave them their extra visit. Hunter was on his way to the door. They weren't expecting me! Haha. We went out back right away and they got some time to enjoy the beautiful afternoon. Hunter got a few throws of his ball, then we were all done. This evening both pups were at the door with their tails wagging. They went out back to do their thing while I got their dinner ready. Hunter had to go inside to find his ball for me when he was ready to play. He brought it out and we got some fetch time in. After we were done, both pups sprawled out in the grass and listened to the neighborhood.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning I let the pups out when I arrived. I got down one of the toys for Panda and Tux to entertain themselves for a bit, while I watered the plants. All three decided to help out and followed me around. When I was finished, Bubba was ready and waiting for me to play his game. We got a good fetch game in, then headed in for Tux to get his medicine. This afternoon, it was hot and humid out. Panda was having fun shaking her toy around. Haha! She kept stealing the ball away from Bubba this time, so he would stand there for a minute, then would have to go get the other one. Molly joined in too, and pranced off with it. Poor Tux, the ladies keep picking on him. Haha. She gave up pretty quick though. She was busy checking out what was in the tree after that! Later on, we went inside for the pups to cool down. Miss Molly was happy to stand by me and get her pets. This evening, the kiddos all ran outside. Panda and Tux got their play time in. I actually had to make them take a break, since Tux was getting pretty warm. He was busy running all over the place tonight! Molly was roaming around and checking out the bushes. Soon, it was time to head in for bedtime and cookies. Tux got his pill as well.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups went out to do their thing while I got breakfast ready. Billy didn't eat her dinner, so she got some canned mixed in with her breakfast. They came back in and both ate well for me. Oreo got her breakfast after the pups went back out. The kitties were waiting for me to come in and play. I turned on their water and opened the blinds for them. They got their food topped off, then I went outside to visit with the pups awhile. Billy stood next to me and got her pets. Eventually, I went in and the kitties got their attention time too. Pepper was loving up on me, enjoying her chin scratches. I saw Chili wander in to go get a drink from the faucet. After a couple minutes, she came out and got some pets too. Then, we had some fun playing with their string. This evening, the pups went out and came in to eat dinner. Meanwhile, I got Oreo some carrots and hay. She started crunching away on a carrot. Bunnies are so cute, even just eating! Haha. The pups and I went out back when they were done eating. I went to fill their water bowls and they decided to get a drink from the hose. Billy was all spunky after that! She was bouncing all over the place. Quinney wandered off to go explore. I went in to go see the cats next. Salt must always know when I'm coming in. Every time I open the door, she's in mid-stretch. I was working on their boxes and had a good laugh. I picked up the lid off the floor to put it back on, and there was Salt, just sitting under it! Haha! Pepper was sitting at the end of the bed, waiting for me to stop and give her pets. She was in quite the lovey mood tonight.
