Boomer, Ladybug, Bella & Bo

The puppies were full of energy when I came to let them out! Everyone was jumping up and down like crazy! It was very nice out so we spent the afternoon visit outside the whole time. Boomer and Ladybug were busy chasing and barking at people outside and bicyclists. Bella and Bo were keeping me busy! They were all having way too much fun in the corner with the little decorative fencing. Ladybug and Boomer were walking through with ease, but the puppies hadn't quite mastered it yet. This evening it was pretty chilly already so I put all their cute little jackets on. They are so adorable running around together! I let them do their business and brought them back inside to play. Ladybug sure likes my attention. Boomer is such a little snugglebug and kept giving me hugs! I got lots and lots of kisses from everyone. Bella and Ladybug played so hard I think they were ready to go to bed before anyone else. Bella crawled in her cage on her own. I tucked everyone in for the night.

Sierra & Koko

The girls were very excited to see me today! Now they have no problem coming up to me and letting me pet them. Sierra has been eating her dinner in the bedroom. She is too excited and wants me to bring out the Lighty Lighty to worry about food! Now when I am changing the pads, Koko is jumping on the bed excitedly and Sierra is running back and forth between me and the kitchen. This evening when I came she even started crying for it!

Molly

Molly is doing well today. She wasn't quite sure of me being there without mom and dad at first. After I started giving her some treats she warmed up a little. Then we sat by her chair in the living room and I pet her for awhile. She got a little bit of a backrub and lots of back scratches since I found her spots. Well, yours is the first alarm I've set off! lol And it was when I was turning it back on, not trying to turn it off. Scared the crap outta me! I haven't experience one where the sound is outside too. I got it all taken care of though and it won't do it again. haha! This evening I came and fed Molly. She was still a little apprehensive at first, but I think she's getting more and more comfortable. I saved a little bit of the ID for her tomorrow as one last treat. I took her outside and fed her, then she did her business. It still looked a little on the soft side, so I will continue with the medication for that. I sat in the chair on the patio while she ate, and when she was done she jumped up on her little bed. So I pet her and we sat outside for a bit. When we came in she got some more treats and we sat by her chair again. This evening the setting of the alarm went without any problems! :)

Zeus, Baxter, Zelda

Zeus and Baxter were very good today. I let them out this morning and Zeus went exploring in the back corner of the fenceline. I think it was a little chilly out for Baxter, so he followed me back inside right away. After awhile I was finally able to get Zeus back in. I figured out what he found yesterday. I bet it was the treats you mentioned that one of the neighbors gives out. Now that I think of it I heard him crunching away on something.

When I was leaving this morning, I was walking out the garage and did a double take. I barely even noticed her sitting there!

Amor, Shady, Poncho, Libby, + 1 more

Everyone is getting more and more comfortable with me every visit. (except the shih tzu who still runs away from me) Amor is such a sweetie and follows me around everywhere. This morning there were quite a few accidents when I came in, but I got them all cleaned up. Also, I don't know if they've done this before, but there were little carpet fibers everywhere! I put one of the beds over the spot where they were getting at the carpet to hopefully stop it, and it's worked so far. This afternoon and this evening I am happy to say there were only two accidents each visit. Pretty good! This afternoon was very nice out, so I got everyone out to play the whole time. Everyone except the shih tzu are all very snuggly with me now! I sat outside with them this afternoon and was attacked with kisses! Shady likes to try and hide in my sweatshirt. I was having a hard time getting the puppies to eat anything, because they were too excited to see me to worry about that. But this afternoon and especially this evening they ate well.

Lily & Grace

The girls were both ready for me this morning and this afternoon! Both were staring, wide-eyed and tails wagging as I opened the back door! They both got their treats this morning. Grace was loving up the attention from me today. Both visits she came over by me and after I started petting her, leaned all her weight against me as I rubbed her tummy! I think they might have gotten a bird or something today, because there were a bunch of long feathers in their water bowl... I guess they wanted to celebrate turkey day too!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm going to try to squeeze in some time to celebrate the holiday with the family that I have in Oklahoma, so I won't be posting the updates until later this evening. Rest assured, everyone is happy and doing just fine! If you want to check in on them before I post updates, you are certainly more than welcome to give me a call!

Zeus, Baxter, Zelda

Zeus and Baxter were happy to see me. I let them out for a bit while I filled everyone's food and water dishes. Zeus discovered something interesting by the patio furniture and was checking it out most of the time. I found the spray you left on the counter and sprayed Baxter's hot spots. Poor little guy, so itchy! Those are no fun. After I let them in, they both went and sat in the office by the fishtank. I went and pet them for a little bit before it was time to go. I called for Zelda in the garage a couple times while I was in there and didn't see her. I called for her one last time before I left, and heard a long "meow" in response. So she's in for the night as well.

Sierra & Koko

I think Sierra remembered me better than Koko did. She was right up against the gate and let me pet her right away, while Koko was on the bed barking. I let them out and Sierra went right for the drawer. I got their food ready and set it out for them. Koko went and ate right away, while Sierra just stared at me, then back at the drawer. I took their Lighty Lighty out and we played for awhile. After a bit I went and changed out their pads, and Sierra stood at the doorway.... "Are you ready yet?" So when I was finished we played a little more before I left. She was so concerned with that and hadn't eaten yet, so I put the bowl stand in the bedroom for her.

Clovis, Snickers, Sophie & Patches

Everyone is doing fine today. They were all waiting for their afternoon snack. Snickers didn't seem to want all of his food though. He was more interested in going inside and just sitting on the coffee table. Patches was especially snuggly today. He was rubbing his head on my legs and if I stopped petting him for a second, he would reach up and paw at my hand. As I was locking up the front door, I noticed my car had an abnormal lump on the hood! lol Snickers was warming himself up. He liked it so much he just didn't want to get off! I started the car thinking he would jump off right away. Nope... I let the car move backward down the driveway just a smidge. Still didn't move! So I had to get out and take him off, otherwise he probably would've ridden all the way home with me!
