Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
