Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I let Ruby out, then Rusty appeared from somewhere to say hi. They went outside quick to do their business. It sure was cold out today! Rusty and Ruby both headed in when they were done. They snuggled up on the couch by me to warm up. Little Lance was ready to play! He was zooming around and having a blast. Ruby got a little spunky too and was hopping up and down from the couch and running circles around the living room. Rusty got into it too and then he and Ruby were wrestling around, being silly. I took Rusty out later to get a short game of fetch in, since it was so cold today.

Hope & Tag

Today Hope gave me a big bear hug when I walked in the door. The pups went on ahead of me to wait at the back door. Hope's little pals were outside next door while we were today. She went to say hi, then came back for some more attention. When she got bored with me, she ran over to go pick on Tag. She sure loves him! She was all up in his face, being playful. He got tired of that after awhile and had to scold her a bit. And just like a teenager, of course, she didn't listen! Haha. She left him alone after a few minutes and they both did some exploring. We didn't stay out quite as long today, since it was the coldest day yet! They came inside to warm up and get their snacks.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This evening the pups were all excited to see me. I let Sadie out right away, then went to get Cole up from his nap. It took him a little bit of coaxing to get him outside. Zoie went out for her turn too, then I got them their dinners and allergy pills. Cole took quite awhile to finish up tonight. Sadie and I played in the living room. She rolled around on the floor, then would sneak her kisses. She was happy for some tummy scratches! Zoie ran over and was wanting to play with her tennis ball. I had a laugh when Sadie was lying on the floor and Zoie was playfully pushing the ball against her forehead. Haha! Then, Zoie came and did the same thing to my hand. I actually got the ball from her a couple times and we played a little fetch.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty came into the laundry room to say hi, heiny wiggling away! I let miss Ruby out, then they went outside. She had a boo boo in her bed, so I cleaned that up quick. I went out to play fetch with Rusty, but he was busy exploring. Back inside, Lance decided to come give me some company. He curled up on my lap for awhile. Rusty and Ruby snuggled up next to us. It didn't take long before Lance was nibbling on my fingers and getting in his play mode! I got out his mouse toy and had him playing with that for awhile. Later, I took Rusty back outside and we got a couple throws in, before he got distracted.

Hope & Tag

Today both Hope and Tag greeted me at the front door. We headed to the back to go outside right away. Miss Hope saw her friends were outside already, so she ran to the fence to say hi. Tag came up to me to be pet quick, before he ran off to explore. It sure was chilly today! The sun at least gave a little warmth. The pups didn't seem to mind at all! We stayed out almost the whole time while they played. Hope chased after Tag to wrestle with him a bit, but mostly she stayed by the fence to play with her friends. When we got back inside, they lined up and sat nicely for their treats.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

Tonight I could hear Zoie barking inside the house when I pulled up. Sadie & Zoie met me inside the laundry room. Those two were eager to go outside to do their business. I had to go looking for Cole. He must have been napping in his bed. He went out to do his thing too, then I got them all their dinner. Everyone finished up pretty quick. Zoie was gathering her toys and playing keep away again. She finally relaxed and laid on her bed. But if I even glanced at her, she'd quickly grab everything and get prepared to run. Haha! Sadie sat in front of me and gave me her kisses the whole time. I got them all tucked in bed with their snacks when it was time.

RJ, Chipper & Keaton

Today the boys gathered outside at the gate when I pulled up. They announced my arrival, then lined up in the garage to greet me. After a few minutes, we headed out back. They did their business, then came back inside to eat a bit. Later, I got them their rawhide snacks to work on. RJ wasn't too worried about his. He just wanted attention! He put his paws on my legs to stand up closer to me. Chipper and Keaton laid on opposite ends of the rug to work on theirs. Then, all of a sudden, they started to get into it. I jumped up and got them separated immediately. I sent RJ and Chipper outside to calm down for a minute. I took away all the rawhides, so they wouldn't get upset again. Everyone was fine after that and started to work on dinner again. I refilled their bowls and got them some fresh water.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I came in and Rusty met me at the door, while I was taking off my shoes. I let Ruby out and she was hopping and zooming around, being silly! We headed outside and she continued to run around and play. Rusty brought me his ball and we got our game of fetch in. He kept playing until the ball landed in some leaves. He just kept looking at it, like he didn't want to stick his nose in there to grab it. So, we headed back inside. Lance was in the laundry room, pawing on the rug. He meowed at me, then raced ahead to the living area. Ruby was standing by her dish looking at me, like maybe it was time to eat! I told her she had to wait till mom comes home. She and Rusty snuggled up on the couch next to me, while Lance and I played for awhile. He was being silly today too. He would hide between the chair and the table leaning against it, then would jump out and pounce on the mouse!

Hope & Tag

Today Hope greeted me at the door. She was running circles around me, so I could barely walk to the back door! Eventually we got there and we all headed outside. Hope stayed by me for some attention at first. Tag even came up to be pet today! I think he has finally accepted me. Hope heard the neighbor pups come outside, so she raced to the fence to see them. Everyone was barking at each other at one point. That got Hope all riled up! She started zooming around the yard, running circles around Tag. He knew just to stand still in one spot. Haha. When it was time, we headed inside. I didn't even have to bribe Tag this time! He came right in with me. I got them each a snack for being so good. Tag held up one paw to "shake" for his snack. That was pretty neat!

Sadie & Stormy

This morning I got breakfast ready for the girls when I arrived. I took it to their room. I saw they were both snuggled on mom's bed on this snowy morning. Once I got their stuff refreshed and Sadi ' s meds ready, I woke her up. I didn't do her eye ointment today since it was Tuesday. She took her other medicines well and her nose looked good today. Next, we went to our spot out in the living room. She sat and purred away while I brushed her. Miss Stormy even came out to see me today! She wanted some love too. She sat next to me to be pet and have her chin scratched. When it was time, I took Sadi back in by the food to eat.
