Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let the babies outside when I arrived. Sugar seemed to have perked up a bit more. They ran around and played for a little bit before we went in for their meds. Sugar was a good girl and took her insulin, then got a treat. Afterwards, Sugar and Buddy ate a little kibble while Jimmy played some fetch. This evening we played outside again for awhile when I first got there. Miss Sugar was just hopping around and being silly! She was definitely in a good mood tonight. We headed in to give her her shot and the boys their meds. They worked on dinner a little bit before we went back outside again.

Zeus, Zena, Baby & Chico

Today I noticed a new pup in the kitchen! I wasn't sure if they could all go out together, so I let Zeus and Zena out by Baby first. Then, I let the new pup outside. It didn't matter, because he could just waltz back and forth through the fence since he was so tiny! I figured out his name was Chico by his collar. Chico was a little shy at first, but soon he kept coming over for some pets. Zeus and Baby were exploring in their side of the yard. Eventually they got warm and laid under the table in the shade together. Miss Zena squeezed her way out from under the fence and came running over, hopping in my lap. Later she sat down by Chico and gave him lots of kisses. So cute! When it was time I let them all inside and came back out to make sure Baby had enough to drink. When I walked back in, I had myself a good laugh! Zeus had squished himself into Chico's cage! Chico was all curled up on the blanket in the kitchen. I went to put Zena in her bed first, then Chico hopped into Zeus's bed! Those boys were so silly. Finally I got them out and into the correct beds.

Miranda

This afternoon Miranda did her big stretch against the wall again when I came in. We headed outside right away. It was so nice out! Miranda went and sprawled out in the grass. She laid there for quite awhile, enjoying the warm sunshine. Later, we heard a horse neigh in the distance. I'm guessing it was going by in a trailer. That made Miranda's ears perk up, and she kept letting out little huffs and puffs under her breath! It was quite funny. Miranda was loving the weather so much today that it took her awhile before she got up and went potty. Finally she did, and we made our way back inside.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon the kiddos were all excited to get outside. Dilly, Biscuit and Roxy all did a little exploring when they first got out there. Roxy soon found a different rope to bring me to throw for her today. It wasn't long before Biscuit stole it from her! Eventually he would lose interest and walk away long enough for her to snag it and run it back to me. Then he'd join in the chase again! Dilly came and snuggled up in my lap a lot this afternoon. She just sat there and watched the other two play, or sniffed at the air. Bert came outside next and she did her business. After a little sniffing around and checking things out, Bert came and sat by me. She enjoyed a back rub the rest of the time, gently pawing at me to continue.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I got Charlie bird back in his cage while the pups ran outside. Once they came back in, I gave Sugar her insulin. She took it like a champ! She was such a good girl. Then, she ran into the kitchen and barked at me for her breakfast like usual. I got the boys their meds, but Buddy was being a little booger. He didn't want to take them for me, but finally after trying a few things, I got him to take them. Afterwards, I let them all out for another potty break. This evening the pups all greeted me at the door. We headed outside for a little bit since it was so nice out. When we came back in I got Sugar her injection again. She was a little more sensitive this time. Poor little girl! I got her a cookie after so she'd feel better. I gave her lots of kisses for mom too. After the boys took their meds, we spent some more time outside. Jimmy was having fun trying to chase after some birds!

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

Today Bootsie was curled up in the chair with the stuffed animal, looking comfy! He just looked up at me as the dogs zoomed past to the back door. As I was walking up to the sliding door, I saw that crazy little squirrel run down the tree and across the yard to the other one in the back! So needless to say, all four dogs did a slingshot out the door and hit the ground running! They spent pretty much the entire time sitting around that tree today. Buck ran over to say hi and get a back scratch occasionally. I had to laugh every time Tizzy ran up the side of the tree! Later we headed in and I got them some peanut butter snacks and a fresh bowl of water. Bootsie was still snuggled up in his spot!

Miranda

This afternoon Miranda peeked around the door as I opened it, to see who was home. After she said hi, she raced me to the back door. It was nice out, so she did a big stretch in the grass and sprawled out. Later she got up and came over for a back.scratch. After she went potty, we headed in and she wandered off to her room.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today little miss Dilly was bouncing up high in the kitchen when I came in. I let the three little ones outside to play. They all did a little exploring. Roxy couldn't find a ball today, so she brought me her rope toy instead. She had fun fetching it by herself a few times before Biscuit joined in for some fun too. Dilly ran over for some love when I called for her. Then, she went back to checking things out in the corner of the yard. I put Dilly and Roxy in their room so Bert could come out to play for a bit. She had fun just wandering around and sniffing at things. Then, it was time to come in and get everyone a treat.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today I let Dilly, Biscuit and Roxy all outside when I arrived. I kept a close eye on Dilly and had to call her away from the shed a couple times, but she pretty much stayed away. Today she decided to lay by the fence in the grass and soak up some sun. Roxy found her ball and rolled it over to me to throw. She and Biscuit had fun racing each other to go get it. If Biscuit would bring it back, she would bark at me to get it from him. Dilly came and visited with me for awhile too. Soon it was Bert's turn outside. She wandered around, sniffing and checking things out. She did her business, then came to sit by.me for some attention. When it was time I put her in the kitchen with Biscuit, then got everyone a treat!

Miranda

This afternoon Miranda met me at the door and did a big stretch up against the wall. We made our way to the back door and on outside. She ran around in the grass for a little bit. Then, Miranda came to get a back scratch. She turned in half circles for me to get her sides too. When she was ready, we headed back in and got her some fresh water.
