Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Max & Madison

Tonight I could hear the girls "roo-roo-ing" in their room when I came in. I let the little ones out, then the big kids, and we all headed outside. I carried shy little Max out with me. Kylie was busy zooming and leaping around the yard. Haha! Kaya came to say hi, then she joined the others and they all took a quick potty break. I got everyone back inside, then I got their dinners ready. Madison was first to finish, but she waited until the others were done too. I cleaned up their area and got the pups all some fresh water. Everyone went back out to play awhile before bedtime. It was so nice out tonight! Kylie kept running over to the gate to watch people out walking the neighborhood. The three little ones were all exploring. Kaya and Kylie took turns getting pets, then they'd have some fun wrestling around with each other. When it was time, I got everyone back into their spots for bed.

Waldo, Otis & Mabel

When I walked in the door, Waldo appeared in the laundry room to see who was home! He waited for a quick pet, then showed me where I needed to feed him. Haha! After I read over the notes quick, I spotted Otis sitting in the kitchen entryway out of the corner of my eye. He came right over to say hi too! I got the boys working on their food, then I went to the bedroom to see if Mabel was hanging out there. Sure enough! She was lounging on the bed. She let me walk up pretty close before she hopped down and took cover under the bed. Not bad for our first day though! I went and scooped the kitty box next. When I finished, I grabbed one of the kitty toys to play with them a bit. Suddenly, Mabel came running in! She kept her distance of course, but I think she really wanted to play. That, or she was just very curious. All three kitties sat in the living room with me and watched the toy. Otis was the only one to actually chase after it. He's a cutie!

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I came in and Ruby was the first to greet me. I could hear Rusty scurrying around, looking for his ball. The pups both came outside with me right away. Rusty sprawled out on his belly in the grass, then rolled around. Ruby sat in the sunshine for a bit, then finally did her business. I saw the baby geese were out strolling around with their parents. After awhile, Rusty came over and brought his ball to me. Poor guy... I couldn't play like we usually do today. I dislocated some ribs yesterday, so throwing the ball as far as I usually do was out of the question. I was able to toss it for him though. I think he ended up doing more running that way! Haha. He would run out to his usual spot, then realized the ball was way behind him and would race to go scoop it up. He'll have to bear with me just a couple more days. :) Ruby had wandered in by now, and Rusty was busy exploring the yard. I went in quick to go check on Salem and she got a few quick pets before I left. This evening, the big kids were all out waiting for me. I fed them quick, then went to feed the pups. They both finished off their dinner for me. Then, we headed out back for awhile. Rusty got a little game of fetch in while Ruby sat by me for some pets. The ducks and geese were out tonight, so I tossed them a little food too. When it was time, I got the pups all tucked in for the night.

Bella & Zoe

This afternoon I came in and the girls were doing their little happy dance in the kitchen! I read notes quick, grabbed them each a rawhide and we made our way out back. It was beautiful out today! The girls came and said their hellos and got some pets, then they each curled up in the grass to work on their snack. After a little while, miss Bella came to sit by me for some heiny scratches. Zoe decided that Bella's bone looked better, so she went and took that one over. She was acting all tough any time Bella tried to come back to it. Haha. The girls got some extra time this afternoon to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. When it was time to go in, I got them fresh water and a treat before I left. This evening, I noticed the girls had eaten well throughout the day. Bella had her bowl empty and Zoe only had a few kibbles left. The girls and I headed outside right away. It was still so nice out! There were lots of ducks flying around tonight. Miss Bella just sat and watched, while Zoe tried running along the fence to "chase" after them. She cracks me up! Later, the girls worked on their leftover rawhides from earlier until it was time to head in. I got them their dinner and a bedtime snack.

Major

This morning I came in and saw Major standing by the doorway. He heard me and wandered inside on his own. He came and stood behind me, waiting patiently for his breakfast! I got Major working on that, then he got his injection. Such a good boy! He polished off his bowl, so I cleaned that up and got him some fresh water. After we were done, Major came and stood by me for some pets. Eventually, he wandered back outside to do his thing.
