Bella & Zoe

This morning it was cold and rainy out. I let the girls out to do their business when I arrived. They took their time to do their thing, then let me know when they were ready to come inside. The girls both ate well overnight. When they came in, I got them some of their leftover rawhides to snack on while I got their breakfast. Bella stood by me most of the time and wanted some pets. Zoe was content chewing on her bone. This afternoon, it was still cold and very windy out, but the rain had let up. The girls and I went out back for a little while. Zoe was ready to head in after some time. We headed inside and I got them some new bones to work on. I sat on the floor by them and Zoe snuggled up next to me to work on hers. This evening, it had started raining again. The girls and I went out so they could do their business. They ventured out to explore a little, but stayed on the dry patio for the most part. Bella was intrigued by all the different doggy smells on me. We eventually went in, and I got the girls their dinner. I got one of their eggs out for a yummy snack to share. That got both girls chowing down on their dinner pretty quick!

Rusty & Ruby

This morning it was cold and rainy outside. I let Ruby out, then both pups came outside with me. Ruby was a good girl and did both her businesses out there. We came in and they were ready for breakfast! Rusty got his allergy pill as well. While they ate, I stopped by Salem to visit with her a bit. She was a lovey girl this morning. I got her some food, then took care of the turtles next. Rusty and Ruby were hanging out in their room, so I got them each a rawhide to work on. This afternoon, Rusty and Ruby came outside with me. Ruby did her business, while Rusty was busy exploring. Neither wanted to stay out too long this afternoon either. Still cool and very windy outside. We went in and I saw Ruby had snagged the other rawhide and was guarding both in her bed. Rusty snuggled up on his chair to relax. This evening, I met the pups inside. Ruby was dancing around by her bowl already! Haha. I got them working on dinner, then went out to feed the big kids. Rusty and Ruby joined me outside when they finished. It was raining again, so it took Ruby a little convincing to do her thing. But, she did, then raced back inside. Rusty didn't care, and was ready for a game of fetch! He got his purple ball for me, so we played out there awhile until it was time to head in.

Oscar

This afternoon my buddy was at the door to greet me. We said hi, then made our way out back. Oscar did some roaming around at first. Later on, he curled up in the grass to lounge. When he tried to go lay in the fresh dirt out there, I tried to distract him. That didn't quite work at first. He just continued to stand there and look at me funny. I grabbed his frisbee and tossed it around... Then fetched it myself a few times. Haha! Eventually, he did come over to play. We played a pretty good game of keep away for awhile. Then, his neighbor friends came out and were barking at us. Oscar had to run over and check out what they were up to. When it was time, we went in for his snack.

Waldo, Otis & Mabel

Today I opened the door and Waldo zoomed into the laundry room. He saw that it was me, then proceeded to the kitchen. He was quite the talker today! Otis joined us to wait for his yums. Waldo kept standing up against the counter and pawing towards me. "Hurry up lady, and feed me! Can't you see that I'm wasting away?" Haha. I got the boys working on that. I saw Mabel was hanging out on the bed again today. I scooped their box quick. Next, I got them some more water. As I was doing that, I saw the boys lining up in the living room. I guess they know the routine already! Haha. Mr. Spunkmeyer had some fun chasing the toys around. Waldo got in on that action a little too, but mostly he just sat and observed. Later on, I went to go see if Mabel wanted any attention. She hopped down and went under the bed, then went out to the living area and eventually hid somewhere. I guess she was feeling a bit more bashful today. I had sat down on the floor by the end of the bed to see if she'd come visit me, but Waldo was happy to get some attention instead. He sat with me for some pets.
