Missy, Lucy & Brady

Lucy and Brady both met me at the door this morning, and sleepy little Missy came wandering out from the hallway shortly after. We all went outside right away. Lucy and Brady started zooming all around the backyard. Missy walked over to the far side of the yard to lay in the shade under the trees. We played outside for quite awhile. After running around, Lucy and Brady would make their way over to me for some attention. It was time for breakfast, so I let the two little ones inside. Missy didn't want to come in since it was so nice out! I went out to get her, and she just rolled around for awhile, being silly! I made my way back to the house and eventually she followed. Everyone ate all their breakfast for me again.

Ursa

Ursa was bouncing up and down at gate when I came in this afternoon. I let her outside right away and we played with her white tug rope for few minutes. She didn't want to stay outside very long, so we headed back inside. She was so excited when we got in the house! We played tug of war with her other rope and did a little fetch too! She kept bringing me new toys to play with. Later she rolled over with her whole body across my lap! She did that a few times with her little legs kicking in the air, and got herself a nice belly rub.

Missy, Brady & Lucy

Lucy met me at the door tonight and Missy came shortly after to see who was there. I heard Brady barking from somewhere, but couldn't see him anywhere. I found him locked in the pantry! I let everyone outside to go potty right away. Lucy and Brady started zooming around the backyard in big circles! When we came inside I fed them their supper. Missy kept wanting to go over to Lucy's bowl and eat her food. Lucy was busy roaming around the house anyways. Brady was the first finished, so he got some attention while the other two were working on theirs. They all finished their food for me. Afterwards, we all sat in the kitchen and they took turns getting tummy rubs and back scratchings! Missy even was laying upside down with both legs going! It was a little too dark for pictures tonight, but I'll have some for tomorrow.

Dakota & Benny

Yesterday Kota, Benny and I took a nice long walk since it had cooled down after the rain. About half way through our walk, it started to sprinkle out. Then later it turned to big refreshing drops. Kota and Benny had fun in the rain and would stop to shake it off. This morning we took another nice long walk! Kota decided to pick up anything and everything she saw today! Little Benny had fun barking with his doggie friends that we'd pass by. Kota and Benny were both very tired when we got back home. They both laid down to rest and cool down. Later in the day we went out in the backyard to play for a little bit. Kota did a little running around the yard, then laid on the patio to soak up some sun. Benny started to race around the yard too, looking for a toy! He found a ball to bring back in the house.

Baxter

Baxter did very well today. I came in and he met me at the door with his little heiny wagging! I hooked up his leash and we went out so he could go potty. I stayed with him a little just to give him some attention. For my second visit he came strolling out of the bedroom and was happy to see me again. We went outside and he went potty for me again. The neighbor dogs were out and he wanted to play so bad! When he was finished we went inside again and I gave him a good scratching all over!

Dakota & Benny

Today I was getting Kota and Benny ready for our walk. Kota was looking eye to eye with me while I was getting her harness on. I stopped and lightly blew on her nose and she stuck her tongue out at me! Then she just gave me lots of kisses. We took a short walk today, since Benny was getting pretty hot. When we got back home they played out in the backyard. I moved a leaf with my foot on accident and Benny hopped up in the air! Then he and I played with it for a bit. Kota was busy zooming around the yard. Kota laid out on the patio when she was ready to head back inside. We went in and goofed around a little before it was time to go. Benny brought in his blue squeaky bone and we tossed that around.

Jerrie

Jerrie was sunbathing in his spot again this morning. He came down to see me as soon as I was finished watering the plants and taking care of his things. I brushed him for a little bit and he held onto the brush to get his chin. I laid down on the floor with him and he snuggled right up with me! He rubbed his head against mine, just purring away.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let the boys out potty while I got their meds together. I went straight for the Beneful today instead of messing around with other methods. Sugar emerged from the bedroom and was ready for her yummy food! Jimmy ate all of his food and meds with no problems, but Buddy decided to leave two pills in his dish again. I got out a couple little piece of meat from the bowl Sugar was eating out of and mushed the pills into that. Buddy ate one for me, then said "No-way!" to the other. He wouldn't let me open his mouth, but I was able to squish it in through his front teeth! haha! Little booger :o) Charlie was just gabbing up a storm while I was there! I'm not sure what he was saying, but he was just chatting away. The pups all played outside after breakfast. Buddy was digging frantically under one of the tomato pots. He came over by me and his whole face was brown! Later Jimmy decided to help out by pawing at the pot too!

Hmmm... what's under here?

Let me look!

Flax

Flax was standing up on the couch to greet me when I got in the house this morning! :)  We started out on a walk right away. He decided he wanted to go for a long walk all the way around the pond and then around some other areas.  After the walk we didn't have a lot of time left, but we went inside and I got his food and water so he could have his breakfast.  He ate while I put some more treats out for him.  When he was finished, we sat in the living room for a little bit and he got his back scratching in before I left. He will be happy to see you all!

Flax

This morning Flax and I took a long walk. He actually was running on ahead of me today, showing me where he wanted to go! After awhile we headed back up to the house and sat out in the patio. Flax curled up on his bed and enjoyed the nice fresh air. He decided he wanted me to get his itchies again, so he got up and sat right at my feet. We went back inside so he could have his breakfast while I scattered his treats around the house. Tonight we went outside right away and Flax did his business. We didn't go for as long of a walk as usual. The neighbors had a bunch of people over, and Flax kept trying to go next door to see what was going on. I went to get him and had him follow me the other direction for awhile. But he was too interested in all the fun next door! We went and sat in the patio since it was nice out. Flax laid on his bed for a little bit then stood by me for his attention, switching sides every now and again. The whole time he kept listening to the noises and perking his ears up. Later we went in so he could eat his supper. He followed me around as I put out his treats and got working on them before I was finished!
