Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

There was a different car in the driveway this morning, made me nervous! The puppies were happy to get out and say hi. I let everyone outside to go potty, and the little ones wanted to come in right away! Brrrrr! Buddy was a naughty little boy this morning! After I let them all back in Sugar took off under the bed, but then after a few minutes she came out and was all snuggly with me. I started giving out the meds and then it was Buddy's turn but he wasn't by me. So I called for him and looked up... I saw him with leg up in the air over the tree skirt and presents! I started running towards him to get him outside but he was already done by the time I got there. He got two presents, and the one was a gift bag that I was able to clean off. The other... well that one will need to be re-wrapped! After all that he didn't want to take his meds for me. I tried a few times and then made him go outside again just in case. When he came back in he went and sat in the office and guarded his bone. After a couple more tries I was finally able to get him to take his meds. When it was time to go I got Sugar and Jimmy in their beds. Guess who didn't want to go in theirs? lol I had to bribe him to get him in there!

Molly

This morning was only 18 degrees out! Needless to say we didn't stay outside very long! We warmed up by chasing each other around, and then we sat on the couch and she got brushed. This evening Molly didn't seem to want to go potty after her supper. After she ate she went to the door like she wanted to go in. I waited outside with her a few more minutes and told her to go potty, and she did like a good girl! Then she went running and barking at something in the woods. After we got in she was acting kinda goofy... not sure what was up. She didn't want to play like normal and kept going in the bedroom to get a drink. Maybe she was just really thirsty or something! Then after that I got her treats out and she followed me around while I scattered them like her normal self. So I'm not sure what that was all about, but she's fine now. I'll see how she is in the morning though, just to make sure!

Dakota & Benny

Benny must have heard me pull in, because I could hear him before I even got to the door! I let them go potty quick before we went on our walk. Benny was carrying around a little ball since I got there and wanted to bring it with us on the walk! Dakota was ready to go and was pulling me like "c'mon let's go!" while I was trying to lock up. It was a nice day for a walk, a little chilly but the sun was nice and warm. I think everyone had their dogs outside today. We heard a lot more barking than last time. There were lots of people outside too, so Benny was growling and barking a lot! Kota found a little ball of tinfoil along the way that I had to try and get from her. We came up to a house where all kinds of birds were sitting on a truck and she saw them right away. She jumped up and they all started flying around, then she was determined to get them! She was pretty tired out by the time we got back.

Molly

This morning all the water on the porch from yesterday was frozen! I was worried about her slipping on it. Molly barely went in the grass to go potty again. I grabbed her brush and she got brushed inside this morning since it was so chilly out. She made herself comfy on her chair, laid her head in my lap and almost went to sleep while I brushed her. She was very snuggly this morning! Molly was very happy to see me this evening. After she ate her supper she went exploring in the yard for a little bit. We could hear some other dogs barking outside. We went in and played around some more after she got her ham treat!

Maggie & Moe

The girls didn't come to the door right away when I came in. I think it took a second, but then they realized who it was. They both came running and said hi. They're doing very well and didn't jump up so much this time. I let them out and Moe brought a little rawhide with her. The sun is nice and warm today even though it's a little chilly out. Moe set the rawhide down to go potty and Maggie zoomed over and took it! They chased each other around for quite awhile. Moe found a ball and carried it over by Maggie, as if to make her jealous. But it didn't work! There was no way she was giving it up. Moe started running back and forth between Maggie and I, getting some attention from me. Then she started running at me, crashing and rolling over on my feet for a few seconds, then running back to Maggie to try and get the bone! It was so funny! I had to brush all the grass off of her before we went in. Maggie didn't want to come in at first. She just sat with the bone in her mouth looking at us inside. After I gave Moe her treat then she decided she wanted to come in.

Molly

Today was a cold and rainy day here, with I think even a little bit of sleet at times. Overall, a really yucky day! When I got there this morning it had stopped raining for a little bit. After breakfast, Molly hopped up on her bed and got brushed. This time she laid down, usually she just sits for me. She must have been enjoying it! She would put her head down on my lap or rest her head against mine. Her brushing had to get cut short though, since it started raining pretty heavily. So we went in and she crawled into her little bed inside to warm up. This evening we had a blast! We were chasing around and playing fetch so hard that her chair was moving all over the place! We snuggled a little bit on the chairs and she got her massage before I left. She's very good at finding her treats that I leave all over. She missed only one a couple times, but usually finds it the next time.

Dakota & Benny

I could hear Benny getting all excited before I opened the door today. As soon as I saw Dakota around the corner she started in on it too! I let her out and they ran around like crazy for a minute till I let them out to go potty. Kota did her business really quick then was back at the door waiting to come in! I let them in one at a time and they were really good and let me wipe their paws. Then we went off for our walk. I brought along Benny's extra lead, but we didn't need it. He was walking very good for me the whole time! As we started Kota did her husky "woowoo" howl, I love that! Kota pulled a little bit, but really not that bad. We passed a couple fire hydrants and Benny would stop, and wouldn't continue until he could leave his mark. haha! As we were walking we passed a few houses with dogs that were barking, so Benny would kind of mumble a little growl sound. When we got back I wiped their paws again and filled their waters. Kota was a thirsty girl! They both nibbled on a little bit of food too, so I let them out again one more time before I left.

Molly

Molly was a little sleepyhead again this morning. She didn't even hear me till I got inside. Usually she hears me and is barking before I even get the key in the door. It was another chilly morning, so I'm sure she really misses her nice, cozy warm fireplace! She got another massage this morning and then she was ready to play. She likes chasing me around, it's so funny! This evening she had so much energy again. She was crouching down and jumping all around as soon as I got there. After she ate her supper, she started running around the yard and barking. There was something out there, deer i'm guessing. There had to be a few of them because the rustling of the leaves was so loud! When she was done, she hopped up on her little bed outside and got brushed. She's shedding pretty good so I'm getting lots of loose hair off!

Molly

It was really cold and frosty out this morning! Molly must have been cold too, she barely went onto the grass to go potty and came back in right away. This morning I was using her massager, then started just using my hands like I do for my puppy. She liked that a lot! I started with her head and neck. Then she would turn her head for me, as if she was telling me where she wanted to be rubbed. I think she was still sleepy this morning, so we didn't really chase around like we normally do. This evening it was a lot nicer out when I came. She had a lot more energy too. She was like a little puppy when I came in! We caught up on our play time after she was done with supper and her brushing. I saw deer running across the highway when I was almost to the turn both visits today. They must be on the move!

Sierra & Koko

The girls were excited when I came in today, jumping all over the place! Sierra didn't finish her breakfast, so I tossed it since it was pretty mushy. I pet them for awhile when their food was heating up. Koko really liked that! I went in and cleaned up their pads, then Sierra came in and licked at my hand. She did her usual running back and forth between me and the kitchen. I got their lighty out and we went in the bedroom and I turned the light off so they could see it really good! Koko started carrying around the pink dog toy I brought while she chased after the light, that was cute!
