Oreo & Stuffs

Today I started getting dinner ready for the boys. This time, Oreo came wandering in and rubbed his face on my leg. I set the food down and he worked on that, while I tended to their other things. Stuffs was lounging on the bed again. I stopped in and gave him a few chin scratches. I went to sit in the living room, then Oreo came running in to join me. He rubbed his chin in my hand for awhile. When he had enough, he laid down nearby. Stuffs came in to visit with us as well. I got out their laser and had both boys chasing around after it. Oreo makes me laugh when he goes crazy trying to get it! Oreo eventually took a break to go snack a bit. When he returned, he wanted a few more chin scratches.

Hunter & Riley

Happy birthday Riley! I came in to see two very happy pups this morning. Riley was prancing around with her snoopy. I let them outside to do their business. They came in and Riley had brought in a toy from outside, that she was showing off. They waited in the kitchen with me, while I got their breakfast ready. They both nibbled a little on their food. We headed outside, so Hunter could get his fetch in. One time when I threw it, he knocked it back behind the shed, where he couldn't get it. I helped him get it out. The neighbor dog was wondering what we were up to! Riley sat and sniffed at him through the fence. It was really nice out this morning, so Riley laid on the patio to enjoy it, while Hunter played. Back inside, I got them their birthday snack to share. This evening, the kiddos were bouncing up and down when I came in. They went out for a quick potty break, then came in so we could try to work on dinner. Neither was too interested. All Hunter was concerned with, is his game! We went outside for awhile and enjoyed the nice evening. Hunter got to play a bit. Riley was in a playful mood and tried to get the ball as well!

Hunter & Riley

This morning the pups came running to greet me. I let them out right away, so they could do their business. They did well overnight. It looks like someone had a pillow fight! All but two pillows, were on the floor. Haha. I picked those all up, then the pups were ready to come inside. We worked on breakfast next. I fed Riley a few yummy pieces of canned food, to get her appetite going. Then, she went to work on her own. Hunter started eating once he heard her chowing down. When Riley was done, she went to itch herself by rubbing across the back of the couch. Silly girl! We went outside again after they were done eating. Riley rolled around in the grass. They both did some exploring for awhile. This evening the kiddos knew I was here, and were already barking while I checked for the mail. I headed inside and let them out right away. They are still doing very well! They did their business, then wanted in. I got them their dinners. I fed Riley a few bits, but she wasn't too interested tonight. Hunter nibbled a bit on his, but was more interested in trying to get me to play! We all went out and I threw his ball around with him a little. I took it back in when we were done, then we went back out so they could continue to play. They both explored awhile in the dark. As I was leaving tonight, a bird scared the crap outta me! I was locking up and heard a rustling behind and above me. A bird was trying to get in by the light!

(Can you tell Hunter was excited to play fetch? Haha)

Hunter & Riley

This evening the pups came running when they heard me unlocking the door. They were excited to see me! I let them outside quick to do their business. Miss Riley was busy showing me her snoopy toy! They roamed around outside a bit, while I checked the house and read mom's notes. I let them in while I got them some dinner. They danced around the kitchen happily. Hunter started to bark, ready to play. So, I grabbed his toy and we all went outside. I threw his ball for him, for his limit of times. He, of course, would've gone forever if I'd let him! Riley roamed around the yard, while he was busy fetching. Riley and I went in and Hunter spent a little longer outside, until he was ready to come in. Riley was happy to have her heiny scratches in the meantime! When Hunter came in, she went to go lay on the bed. They did well so far!

Oreo & Stuffy

Today I came in and got the boys their yummy snacks. No one had come to see me yet, so I went to scoop their box quick. When I finished, I went to see what they were up to. Both boys were in the bedroom lounging. Stuffy was on the bed and Oreo was on the seat by the window. I headed to the living room after I said hi, but I guess the boys were comfy where they were at. Haha. I went back in by them. Oreo was not really wanting my attention. He was too busy looking out the window. He would give me a sassy meow whenever I would pet him. So, I just sat by him awhile. Eventually, he got up and went to go eat. I gave Stuffy some chin scratches. Then, Oreo came back in and started to rub against my legs. He decided he was ready for some attention now! I walked to the kitchen area, then he went running to our spot. I sat with him and he rubbed his face on my hands for a little bit.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty met me in the kitchen, then wandered off to find his ball. I let Ruby out and she zoomed out of her bed. She had a booboo in there, so I cleaned that up, while the pups went outside. I went out with them when I was done. Rusty laid down his ball, then rolled around in the grass next to it. I tried to get him to bring it to me, but he was having more fun rolling around in the sunshine. Ruby went in, so I followed. Mr. Lance was ready to play! I picked up his toy and he was already jumping after it. He would bounce up in the air like it was nothing! He did flips and somersaults after his mouse, sometimes picking it up and trying to run off with it. Haha. Ruby got a little excited and did her race from room to room. She eventually went outside to roam around. Rusty was begging me to play with him, so we went outside and played some fetch, until it was time to go.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty met me in the dining room, prancing around and showing off his red ball. I let Ruby out and we all headed outside so they could do their business. Ruby raced inside when she was finished. Brrr! It's cold out today! We went in and Lance was headed towards me, doing a big stretch. He hopped up on my lap when I sat down. He loved on me a bit, then he started to get playful! Lance would jump at the strings on my sweatshirt, swat at them, then randomly tackle my leg. Haha. I went with him to find his toy, so he wasn't nibbling on me. I said hi to Salem, since she was lounging on the bed. Lance grabbed onto his mouse and "walked" me back to our spot. That was hilarious! He wrestled around and chased his toy for awhile. Ruby, surprisingly, spent some time wandering outside. Rusty kept coming by me for some attention. He and I went outside for a bit to throw his ball around. We didn't play too long, since I wanted him to take it easy after his surgery.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon the pups were both barking when I walked in. Maybe they were thinking I was someone else! I let Ruby out and then we all headed outside. They did their business, then Ruby raced inside. It was cold out today. Rusty was busy exploring, and wasn't wanting to play at the moment. I headed in to see Lance and Ruby. Lance and I played with his mouse toy for a bit. He kept rolling around, getting all tangled up in it, yet was having a blast! I sat on the floor by him, then Rusty came back in. He was wiggling his heiny, all excited. That got Ruby going, then I had all three vying for my attention. I got the pups all riled up, which sent miss Ruby racing about the house! That made me laugh. She would get down on her front legs, then would zoom off to the other room. Later, Rusty and I went outside to play a little fetch. We came back in again and the pups curled up on the couch. Lance was now in a snuggly mood, rubbing up against me for attention and just purring away.

Iris, Panda, Phoebe & Boo

This morning I walked in and Iris was talking to me. I opened her door, then went to let Panda out. I noticed he had decided to give his towel a bath in his water bowl. Haha. I led them outside, then dried up his bed and got him a dry towel. Phoebe and Boo went out afterwards. I gave Phoebe her antihistamines.  Everyone started working on their breakfast once they got back inside. At lunch time, I let the first two out. They spent a bit longer outside, since it was nice out. Panda eventually retuned, but Iris stayed out longer. She was rolling around on the patio again, barking in enjoyment! Boo and Phoebe went out next. Phoebe laid on the patio awhile to soak up some sunshine. Boo was busy exploring around the yard. At dinner time, everyone took their potty breaks. They spent a few extra minutes enjoying the outdoors, then all returned. At bedtime, Panda headed out, while Iris was slowly stretching and getting up. She wandered out and did her business. They came back inside and I sent the girls out for their turn. I got them all some fresh water for bedtime. Miss Phoebe got another dose of Benadryl before bed, since she was still very itchy.

Iris, Panda, Phoebe & Boo

This morning I walked in and everyone was snoozing. They started waking up one by one. I let Panda and Iris out for their morning potty break. I started to get everyone their breakfast and a fresh bowl of water. Panda came in, wiggling his heiny at me. Iris took a couple more minutes, then she came wandering in as well. The girls went out for their turn and returned pretty quick. At lunch time the first two went out. Panda was first to come back. He had thrown up some food on his bed again, so he stood and pawed at my legs while I cleaned his bed and got him a new towel. He went in and snuggled up right away. Iris was still outside, so I went to check on her. She was lounging on the patio, soaking up some sunshine! She rolled around a bit to itch her back. I let her take her time to enjoy it. When she was ready to come in, I let the other two out. Phoebe did the same and lounged on the patio a bit too. It sure was nice out! Boo was busy exploring about the yard. At dinner time, the pups took their turns outside. Since it was nice out, some of the neighbors were out working on their yards. When the one next door was working on his fence, the pups made sure to go say hi! This evening Iris was busy talking to me like she usually does when I come in! She and Panda went out first, while I got them some water. Panda came in all excited. Iris came in shortly after and stood at her bed. She won't go in without her bedtime pets first! I found that out pretty quick. :) Phoebe and Boo went out for a short potty break before bed. Boo hung around in the grooming area and was checking out the boxes when she was done. I walked in there and she gave me her stare down. Then, she came racing for me! She stopped for a heiny scratch before she made her way to her bed for the night.
