Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-02-09T19:36:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the kiddos outside. They didn't stay out real long, not wanting to be in the cold. We came inside for awhile. Buddy worked on some lunch while Jimmy played fetch. Sugar nibbled on a little food too, then went to chew on a bone. I let them each out once more before I left. This evening everyone went out and they stayed out for a little bit. Buddy was first to come in. After they got their meds and potatoes, Jimmy and Sugar went back out to play a little. Buddy was busy working on his dinner. Once they came in, Jimmy snuggled up with me a bit. Buddy curled up with a bone on his bed by the fireplace. Jimmy was being a little booger tonight! He kept teasing Buddy, trying to go after his bone. So Buddy would growl at him, then pick up and move somewhere else. Later, all the pups went back outside again before bed.

Miranda

2012-02-09T18:48:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Miranda barely said hi to me before she was making her way to the back door. She knows the routine! She stopped into the bedroom quick on the way to grab a toy to bring outside. She ran to the back of the yard and laid down with her toy a bit. I found another one to throw for her, which she raced after! She didn't want to go inside at first. We chased each other around the yard, then she was satisfied enough to come in!

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-02-08T20:34:00.001-06:00

This afternoon was cloudy and quite dreary outside. The pups, needless to say, didn't stay outside long! We played inside instead. Jimmy had fun playing fetch and Buddy was busy eating some lunch. Sugar had wandered off to her room to snuggle up in her blankies. This evening the boys were bouncing up and down at my feet as I came in. All three ran outside to do their business. They came in and ate quick, then went back out for a little bit. Sugar stayed out the longest, not seeming to mind the cold too much. She soon came in and wandered off to chew on a bone. Jimmy brought over his squeaker for me to throw for him. I sat on the floor by Buddy and he buried his face in my arm and snuggled up for a minute. Then, he used me as a ladder again to crawl up to the couch! He climbed to the top and curled up. He got excited every time I stuck the toy in the air, right up by him, to throw for Jimmy. He never went to get it though! Before bed, everyone lined up in the kitchen for their snack.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-02-08T19:36:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the pups raced me to the back door. Before I opened it, Bootsie appeared, wanting to come in. I kept him outside with us, which later he didn't mind so much because he got all kinds of attention! It was a little chilly out this afternoon, but the dogs thought it was perfect for running! Buck came over and buried his face in my lap and stuck his heiny straight up in the air while I scratched his back! Bootsie was wandering around by his legs, trying to get my attention as well. Chloe went from tree to tree, standing up against it to see if there was anything up there. Their neighbor friend was out today, wearing a cute little coat! They had fun running over to say hi to him now and again. Bootsie was just loving me up. He kept walking under my legs and then rolling over to his side as I pet him. JR came for some scratching next. Tizzy sneak attacked him from behind and they both ran off chasing each other. Then, they started howling! Tizzy ran and jumped in my lap, howling right in my face like, "Come on, you gotta do it too!". They're so silly. When it was time, we all headed in and got them a treat and their peanut butter snacks.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

2012-02-08T19:28:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let Zeus and Zena out to join Baby for awhile. Zeus stood up against the gate as usual to say hi and get a few pets. Today even Baby joined him, so I kept them each occupied with a hand scratching their chins. Zena poked her head through the fence and waited for her turn. Later, she somehow found a way to sneak through! She came racing over to me and climbed in my lap for a few minutes. Zeus was jealous! He started running laps around the yard, then would hop on top of the dog house to see what was going on. I put her back in by the boys and she stayed in this time. Before we headed back in, I wiped off their paws quick. Zena munched on her kibble a little bit before they went back to bed.

Jimmy, Buddy, Sugar & Charlie

2012-02-07T19:32:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the pups out of their kennels. They zoomed out and raced each other to the back door. I sat in the chair while they all quickly went potty. They all rejoined me at the same time, jumping up on my lap and giving me kisses. Buddy was the first to scratch at the door, so we went back inside. The rest of the time I sat in the kitchen with the boys. The only thing on Buddy's mind was treats. He was staring up at those duck treats and even started barking for me to give him one. He finally got one when I put them back to bed. This evening everyone was racing to the door to go outside. Surprisingly, Sugar was the first back in! She sat on her rug and waited for her snack. After dinner Jimmy and I played a little fetch. Buddy came bouncing over too, and snuggled up with me. He used me as a ladder to climb up to the back of the couch! He curled up and took a little snooze. Sugar waited in the kitchen for a bit, wanting her treats. I called her over and she snuggled up with me for a little bit too. Before bed, they all got their long awaited treats!

Miranda

2012-02-07T19:30:00.001-06:00

Miranda greeted me with a whine and a yawn. I crouched down beside her and baby talked her. She flopped down and got so excited, demanding I pet her more. I stopped so she would go outside after that. It was a little glum outside, but she didn't mind. She walked around and took care of her business as usual. She ran over by me whenever she wanted her back scratched. She got so excited about that.

Miranda

2012-02-06T15:00:00.001-06:00

Miranda is always such a cutie. When I first arrived, she yawned and stretched, then raced me to the backdoor. She would jump up excitedly and whine until I finally got to the door. I let her out and she immediately went potty for me. I praised her and she sat by my feet, eating up all the attention. I let her do her own thing this afternoon. She mainly just wanted to sunbathe, and I had no problem with that. It was so nice out, we couldn't complain.

Luke, Maycie, Chuck & Spiketail

2012-02-05T11:44:00.001-06:00

This morning Luke and Maycie were very quiet when I got in. I almost thought maybe they were still sleeping! As soon as they saw me, they did their excited little dance at the door. I let them go romp in the backyard while I went in to see Spiketail. She was laying in the corner of the tank in the sand. It looked like she had made a little bed for herself. The sand was pushed into a shallow bowl around her. By the time I had gotten back to the dogs, they had become two very muddy puppies! I dried Maycie off as best I could with her wiggling all over the place. She's so silly! Luke didn't really want me to clean his paws today, so I just let him back inside.

Luke, Maycie, Chuck & Spiketail

2012-02-04T22:43:00.001-06:00

This morning it was still quite wet kout from the rain. I let the pups out while I went to turn on the light for Spiketail. She was lounging on her perch, cozied up to her warm heat lamp. It looks as if she had shed a little overnight. Luke and Maycie were busy exploring when I got outside. Luke had found a big log to play with! He kept kicking and pawing it around in the grass. This afternoon I let Luke and Maycie out to play while I went in by Spiketail. I dropped her dinner in her cage and she wasn't in any hurry to eat. Finally she made her way down from her perch and began to snag her food with her quick little tongue. One little guy started climbing on her tail and then clung onto her belly. I got that one off, then she quickly ate it. She got her little bath, then I placed her back on her perch. I put some new Beardie Bites in for her to work on later. Next, I let the puppies in for their lunch. Soon they had licked their bowls clean. They went back outside again for a quick potty break before it was time to go. This evening Luke and Maycie were bouncing at the gate to go outside. I let them out and went to turn out the light for Spiketail. I went back outside with Luke and Maycie. Maycie kept bouncing up into my lap for some attention. Luke was happy playing with his new log toy. He pawed it around, then would carry it to a new spot in the yard and would do the same thing again! Before bed, I got them each a carrot snack.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-02-04T22:34:00.001-06:00

This afternoon all the kiddos went outside for a little bit. They came in shortly after and worked on some lunch. Sugar and Jimmy wanted to go back out and this time Sugar relaxed on her bed a little longer to enjoy the cool air. This evening it didn't take long before Buddy was waiting at the door to come in. He munched on some food while I got their meds ready. Jimmy and Sugar were at the door shortly after as well. After they finished, Jimmy and Sugar took another quick potty break. Jimmy came in, found his toy and we played a game of fetch. Before it was time, I got them all a treat and left them out so they could welcome momma home!

Luke, Maycie, Chuck & Spiketail

2012-02-03T21:25:00.001-06:00

This morning I was actually surprised it wasn't raining out yet when I arrived. The forecast had said it was going to rain overnight and throughout today. So, Luke and Maycie got to have some fun this morning. I let them outside quick, then went to wake Spiketail up. I turned on her daytime light and saw that she was comfortably resting on her perch. Outside, Luke started barking right away for a game of fetch. I got his ball out and had him running all over the place. Maycie said hi to me, then she wandered off to explore some more. This afternoon it was pretty well pouring outside. I let Luke and Maycie out to do their business. I went in by Spiketail to feed her lunch. She quickly gobbled up all her crunchy bugs! Then, she looked up at me, "Ok, I'm ready for my shower!". I gently picked her up and she clung onto my fingers. I spritzed her a few times, then placed her back in her bed. I got her some fresh water and some of her yummy Beardie Bites. Chuck got his lunch too. Next, I let the pooches back inside for their lunch. This evening I let Luke and Maycie out potty while I went to turn Spiketail's light off for bedtime. I swept up the laundry room a little, then headed out by the pups. I got Luke's ball for him, which was now thoroughly soaked from the rain. He got a few throws out of it. But then, he shook it around and it pretty much fell to pieces. I let him keep having his fun with half the ball until bedtime. Maycie was roaming around, checking things out as usual. She seemed convinced that something was hiding in the downspout! She had a little fun playing with some leaves on the porch as well. After they got inside for the night I got them each a carrot to snack on.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-02-03T20:46:00.001-06:00

This afternoon all the babies were bouncing up and down happily in their beds. I let them all go play outside while I checked out the house. Everything was fine. The kiddos didn't stay out real long since it was wet out. They had all huddled together on their bed to wait for me to let them in. This evening Jimmy and Buddy were running around excitedly when I showed up. I didn't see Sugar so I assumed she was off hiding somewhere. I let the boys out for a bit. They didn't take long because it was cold and wet outside. It was time for their meds and Sugar came out for her snack. After that, Sugar wanted to go out, so I let her. She didn't want to come back in for awhile. I opened the door and she was sitting on the little doggie bed and staring at me like "Just a little bit longer." Once she came back in, I sat with the three of them in the kitchen while they took turns eating and coming to give me kisses. At one point, I could have sworn I heard Charlie bark!

Luke, Maycie, Chuck & Spiketail

2012-02-02T21:48:00.001-06:00

The pups were excited to get outside when I arrived this evening. I let them go out to do their business, then I went to see Spiketail. She was resting on her branch up by her heat lamp. Back outside, Luke was ready to play some fetch! I found a ball for him and got him racing for it right away. Maycie was bouncing up and down at my feet to say hi. Eventually, she wandered off to do some exploring. I had to really look to see where she was sometimes, since she blends in with the darkness! Luke kept coming by and squishing his ball at me, in sort of a teasing manner. He would put it down and quickly snatch it back up before I could grab it! Once in awhile he would let me, then I could throw it for him.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

2012-02-02T13:22:00.001-06:00

This morning I came in and fed everyone. It was a little chilly out, so Tut stayed in at first. After breakfast, Harley kept warm by fetching me her soccer ball from either end of the yard. Wyatt and Zoey hung out on the patio chairs. Wyatt always makes me laugh when he digs at the cushing to fluff it up for himself! As I was letting the pups back inside, Tut decided to venture out for the morning. This afternoon I was greeted by Tut rolling around in the driveway. I stopped to pet him for a minute before going in to see the pups. It was another nice afternoon for them to play outside! Harley brought me a tennis ball, so we played a little fetch with that. Sometimes Wyatt would steal it, then he'd run off to the corner to try and bury it! Harley knew and would run over by him, so he'd give up and just carry it around everywhere with him. Zoey was content just relaxing in the sunshine. She and Harley wrestled around together later on. Tut appeared while they were doing that, then all three chased after him! He went back into the patio to steer clear. At one point he hopped up on top of the kennel in there, shaking it loudly, which made Harley jump! Tonight Tut meowed at me from under the dining table and followed us all outside. It was still pretty nice out this evening, but you could feel the temperature starting to drop, since some storms may be moving in later. Harley and Wyatt did some chasing around for a bit. Zoey curled up on her chair on the patio. Tut wandered over to me for a little attention until the others got jealous and took over. Harley got her big soccer ball for me later and I kicked that around for her for quite a bit. For the last little bit of time, I sat in the chair and snuggled up with Zoey. Tut decided to stay out this evening, so both kitties are out wandering.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-02-02T13:19:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the boys outside and went to look for Sugar again. This time she was balled up in a blanket in the other cage! She rolled over onto her back and did a big stretch. She gave me that same, "Do I have to?" look like she did yesterday! Finally she came out with me and joined the boys, lounging on the side of the house. This evening all three were doing the potty dance for me! They ran to the door and zoomed outside to do their business. Buddy was first in and waited in the kitchen while I got things ready. After everyone finished, they all went back outside some more to enjoy the evening before it gets all rainy tomorrow.

Miranda

2012-02-02T13:12:00.001-06:00

Today Miranda met me by the door and did a big stretch quick, before following me to the back door. Outside she sat by me for a little back scratch. Then, she went to do her business. It was nice out, so she curled up in the grass for a few minutes before we headed in. She hopped on the couch while I filled her water dish. Then, she tilted her head back to look at me. So cute!

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

2012-02-01T21:00:00.001-06:00

This morning the pups quickly scarfed down their food and were ready to play. I worked on scooping the yard while they did their business. I had Harley go get her soccer ball for me, then she and I played fetch the rest of the time. Zoey sat on the top of all the piled up cushions and watched for awhile. Wyatt was keeping himself busy chewing on the kong. He later brought it into the patio and curled up on a chair with it. This afternoon was nice and warm out! Tut came out with us and just sat and enjoyed the warm sun shining down on him for awhile. Harley and Wyatt did a little exploring. Wyatt started gathering some toys together and then rolled around on them. What a goof! Zoey was perfectly content laying in the grass and sunning herself. This evening Tut wandered outside with us again for awhile. Harley kept me busy most of the time this evening, kicking her ball around for her. Wyatt had his kong and was protecting it from Harley stealing it... even though she had no intentions of doing so! Zoey curled up on her chair and Tut sat on top of the grill and watched us. I visited with Zoey for a little bit before bedtime. She happily gave me lots of kisses as she snuggled up with me!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-02-01T20:54:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the boys outside when I arrived. I went back inside to look for miss Sugar. I saw a little lump in the blankets in one of their kennels. Soon her little nose peeked out! She slowly made her way out of the blanket, then laid back on her side, "Do I have to?". She came racing to the back door with me. The pups all enjoyed some time lounging in the warm sunshine. Today they even got a little toasty and started panting! Once they were warm, they moved to the shade and snuggled up on their bed. This evening the boys came running to me to go outside after saying hi. Sugar actually ran to the bedroom! She emerged quickly though, carrying a bone. After everyone came in and ate their potatoes, we spent some more time outside. It was still very comfortable out.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-02-01T19:35:00.001-06:00

Today Bootsie meowed hello at me while I let the pups out. They ran their laps as usual, then swung by me to say hi. JR snuggled up with me for awhile, as the others were busy checking out the trees. Today was nice and warm outside. Chloe and Tizzy laid in the shade after awhile to cool off. Buck kept cool by splashing water around in the water bin! He came over and visited me too, burying his head in my lap as I scratched his back. I got up to go grab a toy to throw for JR, which got everyone so excited they all started howling! They're so silly! I threw the toy a few times. They all chased after it, but only JR was lucky enough to get it. He would squeak squeak it as he sat there. He was a good boy and even shared the toy with Tizzy for awhile. Soon it was time to head inside, so they all waited while I got their snacks ready. Bootsie was lounging in the chair when we got back. JR jumped up there with him, disturbing his comfy spot. So, Bootsie climbed up to the back of the chair and curled up to continue his nap.

Zeus, Baby & Xena

2012-02-01T13:50:00.001-06:00

As soon as I walked in the door, the puppies started barking and whining to get out of their kennels. I let them out and Zeus had to give me his routine hug. I guided them both to the backdoor and I let them join Baby. Zeus obviously wanted the first five minutes of attention all to himself. He wandered off to go potty, then the other two got their chance to get some love in. A couple minutes later, Zeus started barking and I looked around, and here was Xena right by my feet. The silly little girl escaped somehow. I put her back behind the fence so I could see where she got out. Sure enough, she crawled right under the fence again. I put a block in front of the hole and that kept her in for a little while, but it didn't take her long to find another way to escape. I just let her sit on my lap for a bit. Zeus wasn't happy about it. He was very jealous, so I tried to keep him occupied at the same time. That way he wouldn't be upset, and it worked perfectly.

Miranda

2012-02-01T13:42:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Miranda didn't waste any time. She saw me come in the door and ran for the backdoor as fast as she could. I let her outside and then she started bouncing up beside me to get my attention. I pet her for a bit, then she ran and went potty quick. Then she went to hunt down one of her toys, while I looked for the other. She saw me holding one and instantly dropped hers, waiting for me to throw it. That went on for a little while until she seemed tired, then she just layed down in the grass for a breather.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

2012-01-31T17:50:00.001-06:00

This morning everyone worked on their breakfast when I arrived. It was so nice and warm out already! We went into the yard and I played a little fetch with Harley. Miss Zoey did her silly little dance as she ran over to give me kisses! Later I went to sit on the patio with her. Harley got jealous and was trying to climb through the sides of the chair to get on my lap (since that's the way Zoey came up)! I'm amazed she didn't get herself stuck! Tut wandered out with us a little while, but decided he didn't want to stay out. I let Jack out through the garage before I left. He will enjoy the gorgeous day! This afternoon I came in to find Tut lounging away comfortably on a chair in the living room. He came out with the dogs and I for awhile. Harley and Wyatt did a little chasing, then they each settled down with their own toy. Zoey just laid out in the grass and enjoyed the warm afternoon. This evening Harley and Wyatt did quite a few laps around the yard. Zoey snuggled up in the chair with me while they were busy. Tut was outside with us and he got caught up in all the action! Harley and Wyatt started chasing after him, so he ran up into the hammock tree. He sat at the little nook just barely above where they could reach! I got Harley to fetch her soccer ball for me, so we played with that for a bit too. They should all sleep well tonight!

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-01-31T17:40:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Bootsie was standing at the door as I let the pups outside. He followed me and wanted some attention. He rolled around on the ground next to me, stretching his paws out towards me. Bootsie was giving me little love nips on my knee to remind me to keep petting him! The dogs would zoom by us once in awhile. Buckley laid in the shade and chewed on his squeaky toy. The other three took turns coming to visit me in between their mad dashes to either side of the yard. Chloe laid by her tree and stared up at it for quite awhile. Later this evening I let the pooches out again and watched as they all raced for a flock of birds that were sitting in the yard! Bootsie came out and got some more attention. Then he sat by the pool gate for awhile and just observed everything. The boys were having fun chasing each other and wrestling around tonight. Later, we saw a dog running around loose. That kept the dogs very entertained! They all even started howling together. When it was time, we headed in and got them their snacks again. They've been very good puppies!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-31T17:38:00.001-06:00

The pups were all outside when I arrived today. They got to spend a long time outside while the girls cleaned. What a perfect day for them! I went out to visit with them for a bit. All three bounced over to see me. I had Buddy giving me kisses on one side, Jimmy hopping up to lick my chin, and Sugar snuggling up on the other side. I pointed out to Jimmy that his lab puppy friend was out. He looked over, saw her and raced over as fast as his little legs could carry him! He ran a few laps along the fence with her. This evening I let the kiddos all outside. Buddy was first at the door to come in and wait for his dinner. After they all finished, we all went back out since it was still pretty nice out. All three did some exploring. When they got tired, they curled up on their doggie bed together and enjoyed the evening air. They lined up in the kitchen when we got back inside for their bedtime snack.

Frankie

2012-01-30T22:02:00.001-06:00

This evening, I flipped on the lights and Frankie ran so excitedly to see me. She plopped down at my feet and rolled over, demanding a tummy rub. I baby talked to her and she loved it. We headed outside and she was so good. She went potty for me as soon as we got to the grass. Strangely, she didn't want to sniff around like usual. She just came back by me like "Alright, let's go." We went back inside and I gave her a small treat. She was so gracious. Then she sat with me and took a nap.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

2012-01-30T20:26:00.001-06:00

Both kitties appeared when I arrived this morning and followed me to get their breakfast. The pups ate theirs quickly, then I started working on cleaning up the yard. Wyatt and Harley kept themselves busy, chasing each other around. Zoey hung out on the patio, curled up in her chair. After I finished, I went to sit with her for awhile. Soon, I had a puppy pile on my lap! I was laughing so hard. They all were trying to climb up for attention, even Harley. Wyatt ended up winning the spot for a little bit. I played a little fetch with Harley before it was time to go. Tut came onto the back patio as I was letting the dogs in. I pet him for a couple minutes as he sat on the table, watching a couple birds in the yard. Jack came out the front with me and got some attention in the driveway. This afternoon was really nice out, but a bit windy. The pups didn't mind at all! All three were having a blast chasing and wrestling around with each other. Zoey got so dirty from rolling around! Wyatt found his ball and decided to roll around on that. I stayed a little longer so they could enjoy the nice afternoon a bit more. This evening it was another race for my lap! All three were climbing on me. Harley and Wyatt soon got bored with that and took to chasing each other in the yard. That gave little Zoey some time to snuggle up with me. She gave me lots of kisses! We heard a husky in the neighborhood doing his signature howling bark. Wyatt and Harley went into the yard to listen closer. I checked the doors to see if Jack was waiting to come in before I left. I didn't see him, but when I got to my car, there he was, rubbing up against the front bumper! I called him and he came running with me to go let him inside.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-30T20:18:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the kiddos all outside to play. It was very nice out! Buddy had brought a bone out with him to work on. All three went to the side of the house to lounge around in the sun. After a little while, Jimmers came over to sit by me. When it was time to head in, they all got a treat. This evening all three pups were bouncing at my feet when I got inside! I let then all out to do their business. It didn't take long before they were at the back door, ready to come in for their potato snack. After they finished, we went back out for a bit since it was still pretty nice. The three of them huddled up on their doggie bed together. So cute! I don't think they liked the wind too much, so we went back inside. Jimmy and I played a little fetch, while Buddy laid on my lap and worked on a rawhide.

Miranda

2012-01-30T17:22:00.001-06:00

Little Miranda and I played some fetch today. She loved how nice it was outside. She seemed so happy. Everytime I would throw a toy, she would run after it with such a huge smile on her face. When she wanted to relax, she came over and sat beside me. I gave her a big hug and lots of attention. She was all smiles the whole time.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

2012-01-29T20:05:00.001-06:00

This morning I got breakfast ready for both the dogs and cats. Zoey was last to finish, so miss Harley thought she could be sneaky and try to steal her food! I caught on too quick though and got her started playing some fetch. She and Wyatt had a blast chasing around with the kong toy again. Little Zoey enjoyed some more cuddle time in the chair with me. This afternoon Jack came out from hiding in the bushes just as I was about to close the front door. I let him in and he decided to go have a bite to eat. Tut came outside to visit with us this afternoon. He sat on the grill most of the time and watched the pups chasing around. The sun was shining, so all three dogs laid out and warmed themselves. I kept Harley entertained, kicking her soccer ball for her to fetch until she got tired with it! This evening Tut came in as I was letting the pooches outside. Little Zoey danced around and gave me kisses for a little bit. I asked Harley to go get her ball, then Wyatt quickly raced out to go grab the tennis ball to protect it from her! Anytime she got in the vicinity of it, he would quickly run to grab it. What a goofy boy! I had Harley busy anyways, chasing from one end of the yard to the other after her soccer ball.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-29T19:36:00.000-06:00

The boys were right at the door when I arrived. They were both bouncing around in excitement, getting each other more and more riled up! I tried to keep them calm, as Buddy soon started coughing. It wasn't until they got their tatoes that they finally settled down! After dinner we all went outside for a little bit. It was a little cool out, so we didn't stay out too long. Inside Jimmy and I played a little fetch. Buddy hopped up by me and curled up on top of the pillows with his bone. Later, Jimmy snuggled up in my lap, giving me kisses. Everyone got a yummy bedtime snack before I left.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

2012-01-29T08:16:00.001-06:00

Blackie was happy to see me as usual this morning! He worked on his breakfast while I let the other three outside. Next it was their turn! Sparkles came to visit with me again while they were busy eating. She was super snuggly today! Hudson got jealous when he was done eating and tried to chase her away. He then claimed my lap for awhile. Zel worked on her bone for a few minutes, then she and Gabbie curled up on the couch together. Sparkles was nearby, watching for her chance to come by me again. She was able to while Hudson snuggled with the girls for a bit. He of course, noticed soon and chased her off again. I let Hudson outside again, and had to carry the girls out because they didn't want to go back into the cold! After they went potty for me again, I let the little shivering ladies back inside right away. Blackie kept running from one side of the house to the other! He wasn't sure what door I would come out of next, so he had to race to find out. He's such a sweetie pie. I went back out to get Hudson, and saw he was frozen in a pose at the other end of the yard. He was so focused on whatever he was looking at, that he wouldn't even look at me when I called for him! I had to go out and fetch him. He was looking at the neighbor "Blackie". While I was cleaning off his paws to go in, his Blackie was nudging his nose at my arm trying to get my attention!

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

2012-01-28T20:25:00.001-06:00

This morning the kitties were dancing around my feet, ready to go outside. They ran outside while I was letting the pups out. Harley, Wyatt and Zoey got busy working on their breakfast while I cleaned up the yard a bit. Afterwards, Harley got some fetch time in. Wyatt had fun chasing her around again, as she played keep away with the kong toy. So, while they were keeping each other entertained, I spent some one on one time with Zoey. She curled up in the chair with me and snuggled up to keep warm. She gave me plenty of kisses in return for attention. This afternoon Tut hung around with us in the backyard while the pups played. Wyatt found the tennis ball and kept a close paw on that almost the whole time! Harley kept me busy kicking her soccer ball around for her. She made me laugh when she was kicking it around with her paws! Little Zoey spent some time laying out in the sun, then she curled up on her chair on the patio. As soon as I opened the door this evening, Jack jumped outside just before I closed it behind me. It definitely took me by surprise! I went over and let the puppies outside. Wyatt and Harley couldn't stop jumping up to say hello and give me hugs. They finally went and took care of their business. I played some soccer with Harley after that. Then I noticed Wyatt and Zoey were all cuddled up on the couch in the sunroom. I went in to join them and Harley wanted to steal all the attention. I sat with the three of them and got smothered with kisses. They seemed like they were about ready to go in, so we headed inside for a treat before bedtime. Once all the puppies were in their beds, Tut came out to see me.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

2012-01-28T20:20:00.001-06:00

Blackie's tail started going as soon as he saw me this morning. I pet him a little and got him his breakfast quick. Inside, I got the little ones out and let them out to potty. When we got in, they got to work on their breakfast too. Meanwhile, I saw Sparkles was sitting on the little shelf under the table. She came out and started rubbing up against the wall, wandering over for some attention. After the pups finished eating, they all huddled up on the couch together. It was chilly out this morning! Later we headed outside again for them to go potty once more. Blackie came running to spend a little time with me while they were busy. The girls soon were shivering at the gate, ready to come inside again. When I arrived this evening, Blackie ran upto me excitedly and said hello before I headed inside. I let Hudson out, then the girls. They all ran around the yard with so much energy. Blackie even decided to join me while I watched them. They lined up by the gate once they were done. The girls were even shivering a bit from the cold wind. I got them all back inside for dinner. It only took them a minute to gobble it all up. After that, it was play time. Zel started chewing on her favorite bone. Hudson and Gabbie wrestled all over the living room. After they calmed down a bit, Zel came over and wanted to snuggle, while the other two got jealous and joined. It was a puppy pile!

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

2012-01-27T20:07:00.001-06:00

<p>This morning I let everyone out, then got their breakfast ready. Tut was following me around, ready to head outside with us. As soon as Harley finished her breakfast, she raced off to go fetch me her ball. I kicked that around for her a little bit. Then, while she played I worked on cleaning up the yard. Harley could barely wait for me to finish. Tut watched me too! This afternoon was pretty nice out again. Wyatt came over to snuggle up with me a bit. Then, while Harley was busy chasing her soccer ball, I threw the tennis ball for Wyatt too! They had fun chasing each other around awhile, when Harley decided that tennis ball was way more fun. She's so silly! So, Wyatt just laid on the ball and rolled around on it so she couldn't get it. Little Zoey came to visit with me awhile too this afternoon. She had to dodge the racing pups a couple times! When it was time, we headed inside and I got them each a snack. This evening both Tut and Jack were sitting next to each other in the driveway. Jack started lovingly rubbing up against the house when he saw me get out of the car. Both kitties ran with me to the front door to come in. Guess they sure don't like the cold! Harley and I played with her soccer ball for a little bit. Wyatt had fun chasing her around some too. Little Zoey was a bit chilly and stayed huddled up on the chair most of the time tonight. Everyone was all cozy in the warm house before I left for the night.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

2012-01-27T20:02:00.001-06:00

This evening Blackie came stretching his way out of his comfy bed to see me! I stopped to pet him a little before going in to see the others. I let the little ones outside to do their business quick. Blackie came running around the side of the house and was happy to keep me busy giving him attention! After they finished, we headed inside for dinner. It was a bit chilly out tonight, so we played inside when they had licked their bowls clean. I sat on the floor by Zel, who was busy gnawing on her bone. Gabbie came running over and jumped in my lap. Then Hudson hopped up on the couch and stood on my shoulders to sniff my hair! The pups all snuggled up with me for awhile. At one point, they had all huddled on the couch together. So cute! We all went out so they could go potty once more before bed. The girls did their thing and were right back at the gate, wanting to get out of the cold! I tucked them all in, then went to visit with Blackie once more.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-01-27T14:19:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Bootsie stayed curled up in his little bed while the pups all raced out to see me. They zoomed out the back door and ran to the other side of the yard. Then, they all huddled at their favorite tree for awhile. I threw a squeaky toy for JR, but he didn't feel like bringing it back to me! He did play with it the rest of the time though, giving it a few squeaks whenever he'd think of it. At one point, everyone got excited and ran from one side of the front fence to the other, barking away. I went to see what they were so worked up about and couldn't see anything. Must have been a squirrel! Their neighbor friend out back came outside too, so they zoomed over and howled with each other for a little bit. Everyone took turns visiting with me today for some attention. When it was time, we headed in to see Bootsie and get their snacks.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-27T14:10:00.001-06:00

Bert likes showing me a new toy every time I come! Today she had a white squeaky dog to bring outside with us. She did a little running around when she got out, scooping up different toys along the way. Biscuit sat and sniffed other dogs on me for a little bit. Then, I threw a ball and he raced to get it before Bert could! She preferred carrying around her little purple spider today anyways. I threw that for her a few times when she'd bring it over. I got them each a treat to enjoy while we were playing outside. Later, they both were having fun rolling around in the grass together.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

2012-01-26T20:38:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Zeus and Zena got excited as I came in to let them out. Zeus gave me a big hug at the door, then bounced off into the backyard.
Zeus and Zena joined Baby, who was happily wagging his tail. They had fun running around and exploring. Zena liked the warm sunshine. Zeus chilled on top of the dog house again for awhile. He startled me one time when he leapt off the top, because it rattled the dog house loudly! When it was time to head inside I took Zeus and Zena out one at a time and cleaned off their paws. While they were inside I refilled Baby's water dish and gave him a little attention quick.

Oliver & May

2012-01-26T19:26:00.001-06:00

This morning after the pups ate their delicious breakfast, they decided to gang up and monkey pile on me! They attacked me with kisses and everything! I was laughing so hard. Then Oliver kept doing that thing where he shoves his nose in my hair. May was just really excited, and jumping up on my lap excitedly, demanding my attention. After that, May grabbed her little fox toy and started playing with it. Oliver thought it was a good idea and grabbed the next nearest toy and shaking it. They chewed on their toys for a good while. This afternoon they were lined up behind the door when I arrived. May made her way around Oliver so she could jump up and give my hand kisses. They followed me to the kitchen and I gave them each a treat. They took them graciously and wandered off. Then they came back and it was attack of the smooches again! Then Oliver grabbed the fox toy, shook it, then launched it at me! This evening they were waiting patiently inside the door for me again. I came in and they anxiously followed me around while I got their supper ready. They quickly ate up every kibble. Then it was time for more kisses. When May got bored, or tired, she wandered off to the bedroom to take a nap. Oliver stayed with me in the living room for some loving. He curled up into a tiny ball and put his head on my lap, and went to sleep. Then before I had to go, Oliver jumped up and gave me a huge hug. He's almost the same height as me when he stands on his hind legs! Then I said goodbye to May too.

Sarge

2012-01-26T19:22:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let Sarge out and he immediately jumped up and gave me a smooch. I tried to keep him calm until we got outside. Then the first thing he does is roll around in the grass and get all dirty. He stopped playing around to go potty, then ran over to give me more kisses. We headed back in so I could give him his food. He gobbled it up extremely fast. Then I made sure he got a drink before going back to bed.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-26T12:29:00.001-06:00

The pups were happy to see me this afternoon. Bert wasted no time to find a toy to show me! Today it was the big hedgehog that she pranced around with. She brought that out, but found a ball that was more interesting. I played fetch with Bert and Biscuit for awhile, throwing them each a different toy. I picked up the hedgehog and squeaked it. Biscuit came running right over! I guess he really likes that toy. He and I played some tug of war, while Bert was busy playing with her ball. We headed inside with a couple minutes left to snuggle up together before it was time to go.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

2012-01-26T12:25:00.001-06:00

Today I let everyone out when I arrived. Tut came to see me in the kitchen too. He followed me to get breakfast ready for the pups. Harley quickly gobbled up her food and waited by me for the others to finish. When they did, she raced into the yard, picked up a soccer ball and started tossing it around to herself! Then, she brought it over and asked with big eyes, for me to play too. I kicked the ball around and she would race to get it. I sat with Wyatt in one of the chairs on the patio for a bit too. When we went inside, Tut was waiting at the door to go out. This afternoon as I pulled up I saw Jack peeking out from inside the garage. He followed me to the front door and came inside. I let the pups out to play next. It had warmed up quite a bit and the sun was shining. Harley and I played a little fetch with her soccer ball. Later, they all curled up in the grass and warmed themselves in the sunshine! When it was time to go in, Tut appeared and wandered in with us. This evening Tut was coming down the driveway to say hi. He then walked around back to wait for me and the pooches. Harley could hardly stand to wait to play fetch! She ran and got her ball right away. So, we played a long game of fetch. Wyatt even joined in a little tonight and would steal her tennis ball when we played with that. Zoey was a little shy earlier today, but warmed up by this evening. She came over and started giving me kisses on my hand, and before I knew it she was attached to my side the rest of our visit! When I was giving attention to Harley or Wyatt, I felt little paws on my arm or back, asking for more pets too. Wyatt sat at my feet for awhile after he had claimed a ball. It was dark out and Harley didn't believe me that I didn't have it! Soon it was time for bed, so I tucked them in and gave them all a bedtime treat.

Miranda

2012-01-25T20:34:00.001-06:00

Miranda was not excited to get outside today. It had rained and she did not like getting her little paws wet. She didn't even leave the concrete patio, so I went out on the grass and showed her it wasn't that bad. She stared at me for a bit, then slowly took two steps onto the grass, went to the bathroom, then quickly ran back to safety. She was so cute!

Oliver & May

2012-01-25T19:42:00.001-06:00

This morning I gave the pups their breakfast right away. They were so eager to eat, like usual. It only took a minute for them to chow down. Once they were done, they both followed me to the living room and joined me on the couch. Oliver squished next to me and May climbed up on my lap. They fell asleep on me while I was petting them. I even almost fell asleep myself, they were so warm! This afternoon I gave them both a treat for no reason. They took them and scuttled off to eat them up. They came back and Oliver climbed just his upper torso on the couch and started licking my face and making me laugh. May wanted to snuggle with me again. She would put her front paws up on the couch and paw at my hand like "Can I come up, please?" She was too cute. This evening, the pups pranced around me as I prepared their dinner. They raced me to the hallway and started chowing down. After that, they were being so goofy! Oliver was sitting beside me and kept sticking his nose in my hair, while May nearly flew onto my lap and started nudging my hand to pet her. They got excited for snuggle time.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-25T19:41:00.001-06:00

Today the pups were right at the door to see me again. Bert was bouncing around excitedly! She ran and grabbed her big green spider-looking toy to bring out today. They both ran off to do their business quick. Bert was super snuggly today! She kept clinging to my lap, then would gently paw at me for attention. Biscuit would huddle in for his share too. It was cold and drizzly today, so we went inside after a bit to warm up. Both pups climbed in my lap and got lots of hugs! Later we went back outside and we played a little fetch. When it was time to go, they stared at me with big eyes in the kitchen, wanting a yummy snack!

Zeus, Zena & Baby

2012-01-25T19:08:00.001-06:00

I saw Baby's nose right away as I cracked open the door this afternoon. He got excited and danced a couple circles around me as I pet him. I let the other two out and we headed outside. It was pretty wet out yet, so Zeus was flinging mud around with his paws! He kept jumping up on top of the dog house to see me better. Baby and Zena did some roaming around the yard for awhile. Zeus would occasionally zoom to the other end of the yard to check things out too. When it was time, I got them out one by one to wipe their paws off before we headed inside. They all did a great job!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-25T19:06:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I was greeted by three happy puppies! I tried not to get them riled up so Buddy wouldn't start coughing. They all went out potty. The boys were right back at the door wanting to come in. It was pretty dreary out today! Sugar, on the other hand, was loving it! She chilled on her pillow outside for awhile until she was ready to come in too. Buddy snuggled up with me for a bit while Jimmy played some fetch. This evening Buddy got a little worked up when I arrived and started coughing a little. He soon calmed down while I let the other two outside. I asked if he wanted to go out, then he did a silly hop and galloped his way over! After they ate their tatoes we headed back outside for awhile. It wasn't raining anymore and wasn't too chilly out. Buddy wandered over and kept pawing at my leg for some love. What a cutie pie! Inside, he did the same, wanting his bedtime cookie!

Oliver & May

2012-01-24T14:37:00.001-06:00

This morning after the pups had breakfast, they wanted nothing more than to go outside. We went out and I watched Oliver closely to make sure he didn't run around. He mainly just walked around the yard aimlessly. Then going to the side of the house to see if there was anyone to bark at. May was doing her usual, rolling in the grass! She cracked me up. This afternoon Oliver climbed on the couch with me and snuggled me. Everytime I would rub his side, he would put up his paws and roll over on his back like "More, please." He was too cute. May was on one of the chairs with us for awhile, but then she got up and went outside for a tad. Then a few minutes later we all headed outside. I played a little fetch with Oliver. It was so funny everytime I would pick up another toy to throw, he would charge me, and I would run. This evening, the pups seemed a bit tired again. I fed them, then they both went right back to sleep. May wandered off into a bedroom and Oliver climbed up on a chair. A couple minutes later, May joined us in the living room and she climbed up on my lap! It was the cutest thing! Then she layed her head on my shoulder and went to sleep.They were sleepy babies.

Miranda

2012-01-24T14:34:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Miranda met me in the hallway, she was stretching. She hopped up and down and ran to pick out a toy to bring outside. She found one but didn't take it outside, she just dropped it at the door. She was so silly! We went outside and she had two toys out there already. We played a little fetch and then a little keep away. She would charge me everytime she saw me walking toward one of her toys. It was so fun!

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-24T13:22:00.001-06:00

Both pups ran to the door and barked as I unlocked it. As soon as I cracked it open, the tails were going! We headed outside right away. It was just beautiful out, so we spent the whole time playing outside. Bert grabbed her purple spidey toy and brought it outside with us, prancing about. They both sat by me for a little bit for some attention. We played a little fetch with her toy until they wanted to do some exploring. Bert had fun rolling around in the grass! Biscuit did a big stretch and relaxed in the sun for a bit. When it was time, we headed back inside. They each worked on a treat while I refilled their water dish.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-24T13:18:00.001-06:00

Little Buddy came to see me when I got in today. Then, he ran ahead of me to the bedroom to wait for the others to be let out! We all headed outside since it was nice out and the sun was shining. Buddy snuggled up with me for awhile. Jimmy and Sugar curled up in the grass. Jimmy had fun chasing with the pup next door, and even Sugar joined in for a couple laps! Buddy coughed two big coughs, but otherwise he did well. He did a little running around with Jimmy later on as well. Tonight all the pooches ran to the door to greet me. Buddy got a little too excited and started to cough a little. I let them all out to do their business while I got their meds ready. After they finished eating, we all went to sit outside for awhile. It was still pretty nice out yet. Jimmy sat in between my feet and Buddy stood up against my legs for attention. His cute little tail was wagging away! Sugar was busy wandering around the yard, exploring. We headed back inside after awhile so Buddy could get a drink of water. He was being silly and kept pawing at my leg. I knew what he wanted! I got everyone a cookie before bedtime.

Baxter & Bubba

2012-01-24T13:10:00.001-06:00

Today I didn't see anyone at first when I came in. As I was filling Baxter's food bowl, I noticed he was curled up out in the yard, sunning himself. I let him continue to enjoy the warm sunshine while I got Bubba's food together next. As soon as Bubba heard the dry food hit the bowl, he appeared in the laundry room, ready to eat! He climbed up on the washer and enjoyed some pets before he began to chow down. I cleaned his box while he ate. Then, I went to go out by Baxter. He was already up and making his way to come see me. He came in and got a heiny scratch for a little bit. Then, he pranced around carrying his monkey toy! Later we sat in the kitchen while he worked on some of his dinner too. That silly Bubba began playing in his litterbox again! He's so funny! I gave Baxter a couple treats and Bubba a few chin scratches before I left.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-23T18:00:00.001-06:00

This afternoon both pups greeted me at the door with barks of excitement. Jezebel immediately ran and grabbed her nearest toy, and brought it to me. We all headed outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather. At first Jezebel wouldn't leave my side. It was like she was permanently attached to me at the hip, she was so cute! She kept jumping up and wanting hugs. Biscuit would get jealous and do the same, running over to join us. I sat down for a bit while they ran over to the far corner of the yard, sniffing around. Then they came back over by me for more attention before heading back in.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-23T17:57:00.001-06:00

This morning all three pups met me at the door. Jimmy was jumping up at me happily. I let them all outside so they could get some fresh air. It was so nice out, the three of them just curled up in the grass and sunbathed beside me. Then the puppy next door gave Jimmy a workout, racing him along the fence. He came back over by me when he was tired, and gave me kisses. This evening when I arrived Buddy came running to see me. He kept coughing every now and then, but usually just when he got really excited. Poor baby. I let the babies outside before they took their meds. Afterwards, Sugar started scratching on the door and apparently wanted to go back out. Jimmy and Buddy followed her lead. They all went potty again and came back by me a minute or two later. We went inside then Buddy and Jimmy started eating a little bit. A few minutes later it was bedtime and they all bolted for bed.

Miranda

2012-01-23T17:48:00.001-06:00

As soon as arrived, Miranda jumped up and quickly said hello. She ran and dug out a toy from under the couch and went to the backdoor. We went outside and played fetch. She was so cute, she had such a big grin on her face while racing after each toy. Then she came and sat down by me for a nice back scratch before going in for a drink.

Oliver & May

2012-01-23T13:26:00.001-06:00

Oliver and May met me at the door this morning with such huge grins. We said our hellos, then they followed me around as I prepared their breakfast. Oliver finished before May for the first time. Then he followed me to the kitchen so we could get his piece of cheese. May went straight outside once she finished. Oliver followed. We actually spent most of the morning sitting outside in the sun. It was really relaxing, they both looked like they were going to fall asleep. This afternoon the pups and I played outside again. Oliver was so excited, he kept charging me and jumping up for a huge hug! The golden retriever next door was sitting in the hole under the fence watching us all play. May and Oliver occasionally went to go say hi to him. Then I played fetch with Oliver for a bit while May wandered around, rolling time and time again, getting completely covered in grass. This evening the pups were so happy to see me, they were right at my heels as soon as I was in the door. They practically inhaled their supper, then both of them made for the living room. They both curled up on one of the chairs and took naps. They seemed pretty worn out. I think they were playing a lot today. Their were toys scattered all over the living room floor.

Baxter & Bubba

2012-01-23T10:16:00.001-06:00

This morning I spotted Baxter all curled up on his doggie bed in the living room. He woke up as soon as I came in, then he came over to see me with his tail wagging. He didn't eat much while I was gone, but I topped off his food bowl anyways. Next I got Bubba's food out. I looked down and there he was looking up at me. He had eaten all of his food. While Bubba ate, I sat with Baxter so he would eat for me too. When he was done, he just sat right by my feet, wanting some attention. Then Bubba wandered over. I kept reaching down and petting him and Baxter would get jealous and try to scare him off. Then Bubba started playing in his litter box. It was so funny! He was swatting at the litter and quickly jumping out of the box. I was laughing so hard!

Oliver & May

2012-01-22T19:02:00.001-06:00

This morning the pups met me at the door sleepily. Oliver gave me a slobbery smooch when I bent down to pet May. First I got out their breakfast for them. May ate hers up instantly. Oliver wanted to wait a few minutes. I put his food out again and he finally got to it. May was right there vacuuming up all his dropped kibbles. Once he was done, I gave him his cheese. He ate it in one bite. This afternoon, I was surprised the pups didn't jump me at the door like usual. I found May sleeping in the computer room on a puppy bed, and Oliver came out of the hallway. I sat down on the couch and Oliver jumped up with his upper torso on top of me, sniffing my face and hair. I was cracking up! When he was bored with that, he wandered off outside. Then May took his spot and climbed up on the couch next to me. Oliver spent most of the time outside after that, barking at random people walking by. This evening the pups ran to greet me at the door, barking and wagging their tails excitedly. They followed me straight to the kitchen, then to the pantry so I could fill up their food bowls. They were pretty anxious to eat their dinner. They gobbled up their food in a minute, then May went and got a really long drink. Oliver was pretty paranoid the rest of the night. He kept randomly running to the window and barking at the darkness. May would look at me like "What's he doing?" Eventually he scuttled away and crawled on the bed. Meanwhile May kept me company in the living room.

Baxter & Bubba

2012-01-22T17:40:00.001-06:00

This morning when I arrived, I didn't see either Baxter or Bubba right away. I figured they were outside or in the bedroom. First I started filling Bubba's food, then all of the sudden I see a little orange head peeking around the corner. Bubba heard food, and apparently he was hungry. I set up his food for him and he hopped up and started chowing down while I took care of his litter. Then Baxter wandered out of the bedroom to say hello. I gave him a big hug and he wagged his cute little tail. After that I sat with him while he ate a little bit. He kept turning to me and making sure I was still there, then he would go back to eating. Once he was done, I checked on Bubba. He hopped down and started rubbing up on my pants and meowing at me. I gave him a little attention before sitting down with Baxter in the living room. Then before I left, I gave Baxter a yummy treat.

Oliver & May

2012-01-21T11:25:00.001-06:00

This morning when I arrived, Oliver jumped up on the window, barking to say hello. I squeezed my way through the door and said hello back to both of them, giving them hugs and kisses. I gave them their breakfast first. May ate hers all up right away. Oliver took small bites, so it took him a little longer. Once he was done, I gave him a yummy cheese treat with his medicine secretly hidden inside. He gobbled it right up. After that, I took a seat with the two of them in the living room. Oliver jumped up to give me a smooch, then curled up on a chair of his own. May hopped up on my lap seconds later, cuddling with me and keeping me nice and warm. This afternoon, surprisingly Oliver didn't jump up on the window when I arrived. He actually waited patiently inside the door until I came in. They both greeted me again with wagging tails. Oliver saw a person walking, through the window, then bolted through the doggie door to go outside and bark at them. I couldn't help but laugh! May curled up on a chair and got cozy, then Oliver came back in and did the same on the other chair. I gave them a treat before I had to leave. This evening they patiently waited for me behind the door again. I stepped in and Oliver gave me kisses, while May sniffed the bottoms of my jeans. She could tell I was with other doggies earlier. I let them eat after that. They ate a lot faster than this morning. They were hungry puppies. Once they were done, May curled up on one of the steps, while Oliver curled up next to me on the couch. He was such a snuggle bug. Then May got lonely and curled up by my feet for a bit, before wandering over to one of the chairs.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-20T21:18:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the pups outside to play for awhile. The ran back and forth, racing the puppy next door most of the time. Jimmy and Sugar would come over by me and make sure I was still there, then quickly run back over by the fence. This evening, it was extremely cold outside. I had to scoot Buddy out the door. He was not happy about the cold. They quickly took care of their business then rushed back to the door. They ran in and gathered in the kitchen, eagerly waiting for their potatoes. After that, Sugar and Buddy ran off and did their own thing, while Jimmy kept me company, attacking me with kisses. A bit later, they heard the word 'treat' and gunned it to their beds.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-20T14:01:00.001-06:00

When I arrived this morning, the pups greeted me at the door with their tails wagging excitedly. Jezebel jumped up and gave me a big hug. I let them outside after the warm welcome. They both took care of their business, then sniffed around for a bit. Jezebel grabbed a toy and started shaking it like crazy. Biscuit patrolled the border of the yard, seeing if the neighbors' dog was out again. They both eventually ran over by me and let me know they were ready to go back in. Then they both snuggled up with me in the living room. They were such cuddle bugs!

Frankie

2012-01-19T22:37:00.001-06:00

This evening Frankie ran upto me and sat down by my feet, giving me kisses until I took her out to go potty. We got outside and she took care of her business, then immediately bolted in one direction, taking me by surprise. She must have seen a squirrel or something because I didn't see anything and no one was over there. She definitely got excited about it though. She was jumping all over the place after that. She nearly dragged me all the way back inside, we were running so fast! We got our work out for the night. Once inside again, we relaxed in the warmness. She kept nudging me to keep petting her. If I would even pause for a second, she wouldn't allow it.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-19T19:12:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the pups and I sat outside and soaked up some sun. It was super nice out and they really enjoyed it. Sugar and Jimmy sat with me most of the time. Buddy wandered around the yard, getting the puppy next door all worked up, wanting to play with him. This evening, they burst out of their kennels and raced eachother to the backdoor. They went potty and quickly came back, scratching at the door. Then it was medicine time for the boys. They inhaled their yummy snack in seconds. Then it was lazy time. Jimmy sat by me chewing on a bone, while the other two camped out by the master bedroom again until bedtime.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-19T18:18:00.003-06:00

Both the pups started jumping around when I arrived. They came up and said hi to me. Jezebel gave me kisses, while Biscuit got really close to me and stared at me, demanding I pet him. I let them outside for the rest of the time. It was gorgeous out, and they had a blast running around and playing. They kept barking at the neighbors' dog and running along the fence racing it. They took breaks to come over and sit by me, getting some attention, then going back to their toys.

Zues, Baby & Xena

2012-01-19T18:18:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Baby greeted me at the door. Zues started howling excitedly as soon as he saw me. I let them out of their kennels and they bolted for the backdoor. I gathered them all into their fenced area so they could take care of their business. Zues stayed by me for a bit, wanting attention before he did anything. He finally grabbed a ball and started chewing on it. The other two came over and gave me kisses. I scratched Baby's butt and he loved it! He even did a little dance. Xena kept poking her head through the fence to give me kisses and get attention. They were all so lovable!

Frankie

2012-01-18T21:25:00.001-06:00

Frankie ran around the couch in circles when I arrived this evening. She seemed to get more and more excited to see me with each visit. They layed down by my feet with her tail wagging like crazy. I got her leash and collar on then we went outside. She sniffed around most of the time. I let her have her fun. She took care of her business eventually. Then we headed back inside before we froze. She sat patiently by my feet again, waiting for her treat. She took it nicely then got a nice long drink. The rest of the time she sat beside me and got loads of attention.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-18T21:21:00.001-06:00

This morning it was super cold outside. I expected the pups the want to go back inside right away, but not today. They ran around and chased eachother, then came and said hi to me every few minutes. This evening I let the pups play outside again for awhile. They seemed more eager to get back inside and eat their taters though. The boys took all their meds, then ate a little bit. When they were done, Buddy and Sugar curled up on the rug by the master bedroom and snuggled and Jimmy snuggled by me in the living room. They seemed pretty sleepy. Then they all bolted to their bedroom for a treat before bed.

Zues, Baby & Xena

2012-01-18T14:21:00.001-06:00

The puppies started barking excitedly when I showed up this afternoon. I let Zues and Xena out of their kennels, then let them out back. I finally got them all to go in their side of the yard, so they could stretch their legs and go potty. Zues couldn't concentrate for the first five minutes because he was so excited to have my company. He stayed right next to the fence so I could give him plenty of attention. He finally went and took care of his business so the other two could come say hi to me. Then Baby started sniffing around the yard aimlessly. Xena kept trying to come see me and give me kisses, but Zues would get jealous and plow her out of the way. When it was time to go back in, I put them back in their beds and gave them a yummy treat.

Miranda

2012-01-18T14:14:00.001-06:00

Miranda sleepily answered the door when I arrived today. She hopped up and half hugged me and half stretched. She yawned and trotted to the backdoor so I could let her out. We played some fetch for awhile, until she plopped down in the grass for a break. She stared at me across the yard, just waiting for me to toss one of her toys again. I threw them a few more times, then we headed inside to escape the cold.

Jezebel & Biscuit

2012-01-18T14:11:00.001-06:00

This morning the pups were very surprised to see me. They barked a few times, but as soon as the treats came out, we were best friends again. I let them play outside for a bit. Jezebel kept coming over by me for some loving. She was so snuggly. They headed back inside for a quick drink, then decided to lounge on the couch. They both snuggled right up to me. Biscuit sat on my lap, giving me lots of kisses, and Jezebel rolled over on her back next to me so I would rub her tummy. I let them run around outside for a little again before I had to leave.

Frankie

2012-01-17T21:47:00.001-06:00

This evening Frankie ran to see me. I gave her a hello hug, then she sat down so I could put on her leash and collar. We went out into the cold, and I took her to our usual spot, a nice and quiet area, where she wouldn't have any distractions. Once she was finished, we headed back inside. She sat down properly again so I could take off her leash. Then I gave her a treat. After that we relaxed in the living room and I gave her tons of attention. She loved getting her butt scratched so much, she would do a little dance. It was so cute!

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-01-17T16:44:00.001-06:00

This afternoon, the pups went wild as soon as I let them out. They ran off in different directions, except Tizzy who couldn't stop jumping up by me demanding attention. I sat down in the grass while they all ran around and played. One at a time they would randomly come see me, slobber my face with kisses, and paw at me for attention. JR stayed by me the longest. He kept sniffing around and eating the grass. I kept telling him that was gross, but he didn't care. Chloe would come over and just sit with her face in my face and stare at me and whine. I guessed that was her own way of demanding attention. Buckley camped out in the corner of the yard, laying in the sun by himself. The others would start barking at the black dog next door, then he would join. When it was time to go in, I got everyone's toys and put some yummy peanut butter on them. They all followed me to the bedroom, single file. Bootsie was relaxing on the small kitty bed when we went in. I said a quick hello, then checked all their food and water before heading out.

Jager & Trixie

2012-01-17T16:34:00.001-06:00

When I arrived this afternoon, both pups were all bundled up in their cages. I let them out back right away so they could go potty. When they were done, they came back over by me, wanting to go back in. I took a seat on the floor in the living room and Jager demanded attention. He kept grabbing my sleeve, begging me to pet him, not Trixie. I did my best to evenly distribute attention to both of them. Trixie just rolled over on her back, wanting a belly rub. Jager went and grabbed a toy, plopped down beside me, and started chewing away. Then they both got a treat before they had to go back outside.

Miranda

2012-01-17T16:29:00.001-06:00

Miranda poked her head around the corner this afternoon to say hello. She hopped up to give me a hug, then raced me to the backdoor. We headed out into the cold and she grabbed her red toy. We played fetch for a bit, until she told me she was done, by flopping down in the grass, and hoarding both the toys. A little after that, we went back in so she could get a drink.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-17T16:26:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the pups and I played outside for a bit. It was a little cold, but they kept warm by running up and down along the fence and barking at the puppy next door. Jimmy would randomly come back over by me for some snuggling. This evening, I let the pups out right away. They lined up at the door when they were finished. Then it was time for the boys to take their meds. They licked their plates clean, then went and ate some dinner. I sat down in the living room with the boys while Sugar ate. They got into a little fight over a bone so I had to take it away. Jimmy snuggled up by me after and Buddy went over to eat some more. Then they all got a treat before bedtime.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

2012-01-16T21:21:00.001-06:00

This afternoon, the pups and I went outside to enjoy the great weather. I sat down in the grass with Jimmy as he sunbathed. He randomly ran over with Buddy to say hi to the puppy next door. This evening, I let the pups out again. It was still pretty warm out, but it was really windy, so they quickly took care of their business then lined up by the door after. Once we were inside, the boys took their meds, then it was playtime. Jimmy played around with his stuffed animals. Buddy curled up on his bed with a bone again. Sugar wasn't as playful. She just layed down in the kitchen. Then they all took turns grabbing a bite to eat.

Butter

2012-01-14T16:54:00.001-06:00

Butter met me at the door again this afternoon. She was whining she was so excited to see me, giving me so many kisses, I could barely get in the door! She kept trying to jump up and give me hugs, too. She was practically bouncing off the walls! I finally sat down with her and gave her plenty of attention, and that calmed her down a bit. It didn't stop her kisses, though. I pulled out the laser light and she pounced around, then went and ate quite a bit of her food for me. I was happy to see her eating something. I gave her a yummy treat after that, for being so good. She was sad to see me leave, but I promised her I would see her again soon.

Jimmy, Buddy, Sugar & Charlie

2012-01-13T20:47:00.001-06:00

This evening I released the puppies from their cages and they all bolted out toward the backdoor. Once we were outside, Sugar and Jimmy jumped up and down, demanding my attention. Buddy ran off to take care of business. Once they were all done, they lined up at the door. Sugar was in front, scratching away. I let them back in and it was time for the boys' pills. I watched them practically inhale their potatoes and run off to do something else. Buddy curled up with a bone on one of the puppy beds, Sugar sat with me, and Jimmy kept bringing me his stuffed doggie, wanting me to throw it for him. Jimmy got his last pill before I had to go, then it was bedtime. They all rushed to bed so they could get a yummy treat.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

2012-01-13T20:38:00.001-06:00

Today I was greeted with lots of hugs when I opened the door! It's been awhile! They ran to wait for me at the back door, then raced outside. They were tackling me from all angles and giving me kisses! Buck sat with me and got his chest scratched for awhile. Tizzy would zoom by occasionally and want some attention too. Chloe was having a blast rolling around in the patch of snow remaining in the shade by the shed! The others saw how much fun she was having and ran over. Tizzy and JR were even chomping on some snow. Their neighbor friend came outside later, so they all raced to the fence to say hi. Soon, they were all howling in unison! When it was getting close to time, we headed inside. We went to their room and I visited with Bootsie for a bit too. He was rolling around on the chest next to the recliner. He was loving up every second of his attention!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-13T20:34:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the kiddos were excited to see me. I let them out and we headed for the door. Buddy wanted to bring out his little Christmas bone squeaky. I told him to leave it, so he put it down. But then, he quickly snatched it up and ran out! They all lounged around on the side of the house, enjoying the sunshine. Buddy wandered to the fence to say hi to the puppy next door. Then, Jimmy ran over too! He and the puppy started racing back and forth.

Butter

2012-01-13T14:01:00.001-06:00

When I showed up this afternoon, I saw Butter behind the fence wagging her tail crazily and barking, she was so excited. I headed for the door and she beat me to it. I got inside and she jumped up and gave me so many hugs and kisses, I couldn't stop laughing! She ran around me in circles, so excited to have my company. We played with her laser light after that. She ran around and barked eagerly. She eventually decided to lay down for a bit and relax after a nice long drink of water. Then she went out back. She came back in, tail wagging out of control again. She was so happy. I gave her plenty of scratches, she loved it.

Sarge

2012-01-13T13:56:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Sarge was so excited to get outside. He was jumping around and demanding I pet him. I finally got him to go do his business in the grass. Then he layed down for a little bit in the sun. After that, we headed back inside so he could get a quick drink. I sat down in the laundry room with him and he attacked me with kisses. He was so snuggly!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-12T20:06:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the pooches outside. It didn't take long before they were all lined up at the door again. Brrrr! Jimmy was actually having some fun running around in the snow. I figured out it was Buddy who had the upset tummy. He had a little accident in his bed, so I did some laundry. Then, Jimmy and I played some fetch! I threw one toy for him, then he came back with a different one. This evening the pups all ran outside to do their business. Sugar decided she was going to sit out there for awhile. She doesn't seem to mind the cold as much! When she came in they all ate their dinner. I sat in the kitchen with them and they came over, one-by-one for their turn getting a back scratch. Sugar bounced around, ready for a treat. When it was time, she went racing for her room, followed by the boys.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-11T20:20:00.001-06:00

This afternoon the sun was shining, so all three pups and I went outside. They went to the side of the house and picked a spot to sunbathe. Buddy was worried about whether or not he could bring his bone out with him. I finally convinced him it was ok! Then he curled up near me, keeping a close eye on his bone where he'd left it. I made sure to bring it back in with us when it was time. This evening everyone was snoozing when I arrived. Jimmy climbed down off the couch and ran to see me. Someone had diarrhea today and had a little accident... I'm guessing it was Buddy because he was last to come out and see me and didn't seem to want to go outside. After they came back in I fed them their tatoes and got to work cleaning up. I held off on any treats for tonight so whomever's tummy was upset could calm down. They worked on eating dinner or chewed on bones while I cleaned.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

2012-01-11T20:14:00.001-06:00

Today Zeus and Zena barked hello when I walked in. Their little heinies started wagging when I said their names and asked if they had to go potty. Zeus gave me a great big hug before we got outside! I let them both in by Baby and they all gathered by the gate to visit with me. Baby sniffed at me through a hole in the bottom while Zeus grabbed my arm with his paw while standing up against the fence. I went in by them to play a little fetch. All three wanted the ball! Zena was lucky and was able to sneak it away from the others when they weren't paying attention. Baby came from around the side of the house carrying a bone. The boys were naughty and were fighting over it. I got them to stop and took Zena and Zeus to the other side of the yard. Baby didn't want to give up his yummy bone, so I took the other two inside for a bit. They both enjoyed some back scratches for awhile. They went out potty once more before it was time to go back to their beds.

Miranda

2012-01-11T18:38:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Miranda seemed a bit sleepy. That all changed as soon as I got her outside. She went potty, then we played with her toys. I threw her toys for her a few times. She sprinted as fast as she could to retrieve them. Then, to relax, she layed down in the grass and chewed on one of her toys. When she got bored, she came back over by me for some TLC.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

2012-01-10T20:09:00.001-06:00

This afternoon I let the pups all outside when I arrived. I found the water dish for Charlie and got him some fresh water. I spent the rest of the time outside with the kiddos. Jimmy and Buddy saw a tree service truck by the neighbor's across the street and bounced around barking at it! They spent most of their time on the side of the house until it was time to head in. This evening the boys greeted me at the door. Sugar came running from her room and we all went outside for a bit. I came back in and started to get the meds ready for the boys until they were all ready to come back in. Jimmers and I played some fetch after they finished. Then, we spent some more time outside before bedtime. They raced into their room when it was time and each got a yummy treat.

Miranda

2012-01-10T19:26:00.001-06:00

This afternoon, I found Miranda sitting behind the door, patiently waiting for me. She jumped up and gave me a hug, stretching at the same time. She ran to the backdoor so I could let her out. She bolted out the door and hunted down one of her toys. Meanwhile, I grabbed the other one and threw it. Everytime she would bring me one of her toys, I would throw the other. She was racing around like crazy. Then we took a break. She plopped down beside me for some attention before we headed back in.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

2012-01-10T19:24:00.001-06:00

Today Michael bounced about after I took him outside with me. Kisses was curled up in some hay when I passed the corner of the house. All three started making their way over to see me. They each got two more treats, which was the last of them. Michael was bouncing up and down on the patio when I returned, ready for his dinner. He finished pretty quickly again today and went back outside for awhile. Uno stayed mainly on the top of his shelf today while I cleaned. He did a cute little stretch, sprawling himself completely out! I didn't see Hailey today while I was visiting Elliot and Matilda. Those two were all snuggled together so cutely! Lucy and Sampson were jumping around with excitement when I finally came to see them! They both kept peeking in the window at me while I filled water bottles.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

2012-01-09T20:45:00.003-06:00

Michael was happy to come outside with me today. He did his business while I visited with the donkeys and Kisses. They each got a couple treats again today. Tinkerbell and Coco both peeked through the door while I was filling the food bucket. Guess they were hungry! Michael came back inside with me to get his dinner. He finished super fast today. He went back outside while I finished up. Uno made a bigger mess than usual today, so I put his hay bowl up on the shelf next to him. He pushed it right back off! "That doesn't go up here!" I had a good laugh at that. When I went to see Elliot and Matilda, I heard a meowing coming from under the bed! Hailey came out to see me and rubbed up against me while I pet her. She wasn't quite sure how to feel about it. She was purring while rubbing on my side, and hissing all at the same time! It was quite entertaining. I've been cleaning Matilda's eye really well and today it barely had any dishcharge to clean up. She was just as good a bunny as she always is! Elliot chomped away on his carrot while we were in the bathroom cleaning up. Michael came back inside while I went to see Sampson and Lucy. Sampson kept jumping up and smelling where I was holding Matilda. Lucy was happy to get a few pets before it was time to go.

Miranda

2012-01-09T20:45:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Miranda greeted me at the door, bouncing around, she was so eager to get outside. She grabbed the nearest toy and we headed out to enjoy the nice weather. It was a little chilly, but Miranda loved that sun. I threw her toy for her a few times, then she just relaxed in the grass, soaking up some sun. Then she trotted over and sat beside me so she could get some attention. She loved having her back scratched.

Papoose, Deets & Chata

2012-01-09T20:40:00.001-06:00

This evening when I arrived all three of the puppies were barking and bouncing around excitedly. I opened the gate and let them out back. They zoomed around until they all took care of their business. Then it was playtime. Chata kept tugging on my sleeve, demanding I play with her. Deets was chasing her around and trying to wrestle with her. Papoose was just relaxing in the grass, chewing on something. It looked like a rock, but was probably a bone. I figured better safe than sorry, so I was going to have a look at it. Before I could grab it from her, Chata quickly stole it away. I kept telling her to drop it, and I think she thought I was telling her to lay down because she would plop down right by my feet and roll over. It was so funny! After all that, we went back in to warm up. Chata kept trying to sit on my lap and give me kisses. Then they each got a yummy beggin' strip before I had to go.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

2012-01-08T18:04:00.001-06:00

Michael came right to the front door to come outside with me when I got there. He hopped around, waiting for a quick pet before I went to see the donkeys. Kisses made her little goat call when she saw me. All three wandered closer again today as I walked up. They quickly lined up for their treats! They were happy to each get two today. (I just wanted to make sure they lasted.) Lucy was crying for some attention and today Sampson chimed in with her! Back inside, Michael waited at his spot for his yummy dinner. I tended to Uno first, then Hailey's box and food before letting Michael back out. Uno snuck past me today and did a little roaming around while I cleaned his cage. He came running back for his treats! While Michael was outside again, I went to see Elliot and Matilda. They were excited to start working on their carrot! Elliot stood on his back legs when I walked in with it so he could smell it better. Before I left I went out to pet Lucy and Sampson for a bit.

Chelsea

2012-01-08T18:03:00.001-06:00

This morning Chelsea was excited to see me coming to the door. She checked to make sure I filled her food cup just right, then worked on her breakfast. Afterwards, we went for a nice long walk. She watched the geese and ducks on the pond as we walked past. When we got home, she laid near the kitchen, just to be ready for when it was treat time! I laid next to her and pet her. She rolled over so I could get her tummy too! She hopped up quick as she could when she knew it was time to get her snack. She politely did all the tricks I asked her to do!

Chelsea

2012-01-07T21:11:00.001-06:00

This morning Chelsea was right at the door waiting for me. She trotted along with me to the kitchen to get her breakfast. After she finished, she stood in front of me and asked the question with her eyes. We went for our long walk this morning. She turned around before I did at our usual spot. She knows our routine so well! On the way back we passed a couple yorkies that were out in their yard. They barked and bounced along their fence with us. Chelsea got excited too and wanted to say hi! This evening I heard the blinds as soon as I got out of my car. I could see her watching me through the front window while I grabbed the mail. As soon as she saw me head for the house, she was at the front door again, making the blinds move! Chelsea quickly finished her dinner so we could get on our way. We went for another long walk since it was still pretty nice out. She looked for her sheltie friends who are usually out in their yard when we go by. When we got back home, Chelsea snuggled up with me in the living room. She kept giving me her face hugs against mine. She was excited for treat time, so she kept huffing at me and throwing my arm up with her nose as she'd walk by. "C'mon, get up!" She's so silly! She of course got her bedtime snack before I left.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

2012-01-07T19:15:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Michael let out a little bark as I was unlocking the door. Then, he trotted over to me and waited for me to let him out. He danced around excitedly outside as I pet him and talked to him a bit. As I passed the corner of the house, I saw all three heads pop up and they started making their way over to the gate! Kisses was first to come get her snack today. She then hopped up by her bowl to wait while the Tinkerbell and Coco came over to nibble their treats from my hand. Tinkerbell watched closely as I got their food out. Michael was hopping up and down when he saw me come back! He waited patiently by his plate while I got his dinner ready. I still didn't see Hailey today, but I know she must be snoozing somewhere because she's still eating and using her litterbox as usual. Uno made me laugh today. He was sitting in his litterbox when I came in. Then, he hopped up to my lap when I opened the door and was sniffing up at me like crazy! Either he smelled something really good on me or was just wanting his treats! Elliot and Matilda were snuggled quietly together in their cage again today. Matilda was very patient with me as I cleaned her eye out really good. They were excited to get working on their carrot treat as I put it in there for them. I let Michael inside, then went to visit Lucy and Sampson before I left. Lucy was busy rolling around in the grass, so when she got up her back was covered in it!

Bailey & Daphne

2012-01-07T19:03:00.001-06:00

This morning Bailey was sure happy to see me! She gave me a long hug before I went to let Daphne out. The girls danced around by the door to go outside. Daphne took to zoom-zooming around right away! Bailey and Daphne both came in for a bit while Bailey ate her breakfast. Bailey wanted to help and kept nosing her way into the pantry! Afterwards, we went back outside for a little bit. Bailey put her front legs on my lap and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Miss Daphne was having fun exploring around the yard. The girls took to chasing around together after awhile. I think Bailey pushed a little too hard this morning. When we got back inside she seemed a little sore on her left front leg. She walked on it just fine, but if she was sitting still she'd favor it a little. The girls each got a yummy snack before it was time to go.

Chelsea

2012-01-06T21:19:00.001-06:00

Tonight the blinds were shifting quickly back and forth as sweet Chelsea girl was peeking through at me!! She stopped me at the door for a hug, then we made our way to the kitchen. She worked on her dinner while I sat nearby. Then, it was time for her favorite thing! I grabbed her leash and we went on a long walk. The air was just starting to cool down, perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. She stopped here and there tonight to sniff at spots in the grass. When we got home, I tossed her ball for her. She ran after it once, but really... she just wanted a treat! We sat in the living room and she got a little tummy rub. Then, she got up and laid by the kitchen. I came to sit by her and she just gave me this sad, pouty face, "Can I have my treat now... pretty please?!". She knows how to tug my heart strings. I made her wait a little longer, which only got her more excited! Finally, she ran into the kitchen and got her bedtime snack.
