Dakota & Benny

Benny was zooming around the living room as usual today! We took a nice walk this afternoon. Even though it was pretty hot out, they didn't seem to mind. They were too excited! It was pretty quiet out today. They stopped to sniff around a lot but there weren't too many dogs out to chase along fences with. There was a jogger and a few other people washing cars or mowing lawns that Benny had to bark at instead! Once we got home they were pretty tired. Benny was so pooped that he laid right on the entryway tile tfloor as soon as he got inside. She was stopping to squat a lot on the walk today, but I'm not sure what she was trying to do. So, I let Kota go out back for a few minutes to finish her business.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Jimmy was sure happy to see me today! He was bouncing up and down all the way to the back door. Buddy said hi to, but he was more interested in getting outside to do his searching! I let the boys go play outside while I looked for Sugar. I couldn't find her anywhere! I looked in every open room multiple times, while calling for her. I got out some treats and usually she comes running, or at least starts barking. But I didn't see or hear her. I went out by the boys for a little bit, thinking maybe she'd come when she felt like it. Jimmy laid down in the grass to soak up some sun. Buddy was exploring. Suddenly, Jimmy jumped about a foot in the air! Then he went to go sniff at whatever startled him. I looked and it was a big nightcrawler! The boys came in with me and helped me look all over for Miss Sugar again after I gave Buddy his eye medicine. I was just about to give up when she stuck her little nose out from underneath the pillows on the bed! Little stinker!

You rang?

Cali & Miss Ella

Miss Ella met me at the door today and trotted along with me everywhere I went! I said hi to her for a few minutes, then took care of their litter pans. Ella helped me look for Cali, since she hadn't come out to see me yet. We found Cali sitting in the office, curled up on the chair. Miss Ella and I decided to go sit out on the patio for a bit. Cali later came and peeked through the window at us, but wasn't quite ready to come out. I opened the door for her again later and then she decided she was ready! Cali rolled around on the ground while Miss Ella curled up in the sunlight. They both perked up and swung their heads around when they heard a bird singing nearby!

Kira, Lisa Lee, Bunky

Kira and Bunky were sitting in the living room when I came in today. Lisa Lee came out to say hi shortly after. When I finished taking care of their things, I sat in the chair and got the brushes out. Kira was loving up every second! She licked at my legs the whole time I brushed her. Bunky came over to get brushed as well. I called for Lisa Lee and she came to see what was going on. They all were laying by me getting brushed! Kira cleaned Lisa Lee's face for a little bit too.

Maggie & Moe

The girls came running from the bedroom to see me today! We went outside so they could go potty right away. It was raining pretty heavily, and the girls were both hesitant to walk out into the grass at first. Maggie braved the rain first, then Moe quickly went out. Once inside, I gave them their treat! Maggie curled up on the couch next to me and Moe ran around back and forth between me and her food. I think it's so funny how she likes to eat out of that tiny bowl! Moe came back and rolled around on the floor by me, acting so silly. She zoomed into the bedroom and came out with a rawhide that was almost as big as she was! They both gave me so many kisses. Maggie eventually went into the bedroom and curled up on her little doggie bed, while laying her head on a stuffed animal. Miss Moe and I went in by her and Moe rolled over on her back while I rubbed her tummy.

Dakota & Benny

Today it was still storming when I came to see Kota and Benny, so we had to play inside. I let them out right away to go potty. Benny did his business, quickly grabbed a ball, then came right back inside. Kota didn't seem to mind the rain as much and ran around out in the backyard for a little bit. I cleaned her up when she wanted to come in and we played some more. Benny kept rolling around by me and having me rub his tummy. I scratched him all over and got his little leg going like crazy! Kota and Benny wrestled around for awhile, then we all chased each other around. We played fetch with Kota's food and she jumped and tossed it around for herself.

Heathcliff, Atticus, Ava & Chance

Heathcliff and Atticus both came running when I came in today! Both boys followed me all over the place. They all were slightly craving some attention! They had finished all their food, so I filled their bowls and gave them their wet food right away. They got right to eating as I started to clean all the litter boxes. Ava was trying to eat while I was scooping the food in her dish. I refilled their bowl that was on the nightstand, and they both jumped up and had to drink out of it right away! It must taste better than the water on the bathroom counter I guess... I went out and filled the sink for Atticus. He sat and stared at it while I pet him for awhile. I looked around for Heathcliff since he wasn't following me anymore, and I found him in the kid's room sitting on the little table by the crayons! I spent some time petting him before I went back by Ava and Chance. Chance had finished eating and was sprawled out on the floor. Ava was getting her attention in, when a little white foot was popping in underneath the door! It startled me for a second and Ava went over to check it out. Atticus was trying to play and later Heathcliff sat by the door to see what was going on too.

"Did you just see that?!"

"Ok, I'm ready... turn it on!"

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were excited to get outside right away. Kota ran a big circle around the yard and came back with nice wet and muddy paws! Benny went in search of his ball, then brought it back to play some fetch. Kota was running around then hopping up on the table and chairs and woo-wooing at me! They were ready to go back inside after a bit, so we played more after Kota finished her supper. Benny kept rolling his ball to me to toss for him. Kota ran around after Benny, then came back to me and sneak-attacked me with a big kiss on my face! We chased each other around the living room for a bit before it was back to bed.

Heathcliff, Atticus, Ava & Chance

Today Heathcliff met me in the hallway and Atticus was waiting in the kitchen. I said hi to both of them for a little bit before taking care of their food and water. Atticus followed me around everywhere. When I went into the bathroom to refill the sink, he came zooming in and hopped up on the counter! He jumped up onto the kitchen counter while I filled that bowl too. Ava was laying on the bed and Chance was sitting by the bathroom when I went into the bedroom. Ava came running to get her attention! Chance inched closer, so I let him smell me, then I pet him for awhile too. Ava wanted me to pet her so badly that she even rubbed her face on my shoe while I was cleaning their litter pans. They were all excited to get their canned food and patiently waited until I put their dishes down.

Dakota & Benny

Kota was pretty quiet this afternoon. She didn't make a peep until I said, "Are you ready?". Then she let me have it! There was a nice breeze out today, so we took our nice long walk. Benny was sure the talkative one this afternoon. Maybe he could hear things blowing around in the wind that I couldn't. He would spin around and let a little growl out! There were a couple girls out walking on the opposite side of the street and Kota was very intrigued by them. She would run ahead a little bit, then stop to turn around and watch them. Benny stopped and gave Kota some kisses today! It was very cute. Benny was the one who had a little bit of soft stool and Kota was squating a lot again on our walk. Not sure if you figured out if it was just that she was marking or not. Once we got home they were pretty tired and they just laid down and rested.
