Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning the kiddos all ran outside. I got Louie's food ready and had him come in to try and eat. He was not really interested and was busy laying around or trying to make his bed in the corner comfy. Since he wasn't going to eat, I let him go back out and put it in the fridge for later. The pups were busy exploring this morning, and taking their turns eating. Chico was a sassy little man today! He kept hogging the food dish and getting upset at the other two if they came by. Eventually, he wanted my attention, so they got a turn. This afternoon, Bella and Chico got to go back outside and play. Bella was busy trying to get something that was on the other side of the fence. I'm not sure what it was, but she was sure worked up about it! She and Chico kept being sassy to each other, so I had to keep an eye on them and make sure they didn't get into trouble. It was very hot out this afternoon, so I had Louie come inside for the second half of the day. They all got their peanut butter yums to work on when it was time to go in. This evening I let them all outside again. After he had some time to do his business, I had Louie come in to try and work on his food again. It was cold, so I don't think he was liking that. I warmed it up a bit for him, and he did eat most of it, but I helped feed it to him. I was holding the bowl up for him and at one point out of nowhere, he jumped up and landed both paws in the bowl. Immediately after that, both paws went on my face! I guess I needed a tuna bath. Haha! That made me laugh so hard. When he was done, I cleaned up and let him go play a little longer. The pups all got a bedtime snack when it was time to go in.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon Eddie was excited to see me. I could barely grab onto the lock on Butler's cage to let him out! The boys both said hi, then went outside. They messed around a bit and lounged on the patio to get some sun. It didn't take long before they were inside cooling off, since it was pretty hot today! They spent just as much time lounging around inside the cool house this afternoon.

Sadi & Stormy

This evening I walked in and Stormy was sitting on the recliner. She gave me a couple meows as I went by. Sadi was sitting in the bedroom, looking out the window beside the bed. I took her to get her evening meds. Her nose was quite stuffed up tonight and even after I cleaned it she was a bit stuffy, so I gave the yellow pill in addition tonight. I put her back in her bed when she was done.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon Ruby was doing the potty dance in her bed. I let her out and she raced out and through the doggie door to go out. She didn't even wait for me today! I went to the front room to get lazy man, who was lounging in his chair. He hopped up, then I grabbed his purple ball as we headed out. I saw the newer red one on the way, so I grabbed that as well. I threw them both once we got outside. He didn't know which one to get first! The pups didn't stay out long today since it was so hot out. So, when they wanted, we headed in and I made sure they had enough water. They lounged in their front room awhile. Ruby was rolling around and being a goofball!

Winston

This afternoon Winston was sitting so cute in his little bed, patiently waiting for me to open the gate. We got his leash hooked up and we headed outside. We went for a little stroll, and he did his business like a good boy. We continued a little longer after that, but kept our walk a little on the shorter side today, since it was pretty toasty out! Once we got in, I took his harness off and he was ready to play. I looked around and found his rope toy. He of course, didn't want to play with that one! Haha. He ran around and found his little monster dude. We played tug almost the entire time with that. The poor guy nearly lost an appendage today. When it was time, I got Winston some more water in his room and a couple snacks. I love his cute bandana!

Shadow

Shadow got to the door pretty quick today when he heard me come in. He followed me around and brushed up against my legs as I got his things ready. He helped me in the pantry to pick out his new can of food. He liked this one today and went right to work on it. After I cleaned his box, he was sitting on the back of the couch, waiting for me. He hopped down to get some attention. I had sat on the floor with him, so he was busy walking circles around me and getting pet. He stopped behind me today and snuck a love nibble on my back! I kept him in front of me after that. Haha! He was in a playful mood today. I got his feather toy out and he had a blast tackling it.

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys were barking when they heard my car pull up. I met them at the door and we went right to the garage to get their gear on. It was a beautiful morning! We got a nice walk in first thing. There were plenty of other people and dogs out walking as well, so that kept them pretty excited. Once we got down by the pond, they took full advantage of their slack leashes and their sniffers were working overtime. I wondered what they had caught the scent of. Eventually, we headed back home. They got a last potty break outside, while I got them breakfast and fresh water.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning I let all the kiddos outside. Louie was bouncing all over the place! He sure does seem to be feeling much better.  While they played, I got his breakfast ready. I had him come inside and I waited while he cleaned out his bowl. After he finished, we joined the other two out back. Bella was happy to see me and kept trying to hop in my lap. Silly girl. They finally settled a bit and Bella and Chico took turns eating. This afternoon Bella and Chico got to play outside for a bit. They both wandered around and checked things out. I did have to scold them once because they were getting a little sassy with each other!  Haha. It was pretty hot out this afternoon, so I had Louie come inside as well to cool off a bit. He didn't have any objections. I got them all their peanut butter snacks for the afternoon. This evening the pups all zoomed out of their beds. I got Louie's dinner ready and he came in to finish that up. Back outside, Chico was busy eating some dinner as well. Bella wanted to hang out in the air conditioning. She kept peeking out the door, as if she was asking me to come join her. When it was time, everyone got tucked in their beds with a bedtime snack.

Taz & Clyde

This afternoon the boys met me at the door. I let them outside right away, while I went to get them their dental snacks. Taz took his to a comfy spot on the grass, while Clyde laid on the patio. After the boys finished, they got to relax and enjoy the beautiful afternoon for awhile. This evening, it was still a little light out when I got there. So, we got ready and went for our walk right away. I was hoping we could get at least a short one in before the popping of fireworks started. We did good! We got a long walk in before I heard anything. Once we did, we headed back home. There were some other dogs out walking as well, so that distracted Taz a little. I let them have one last potty break out back while I filled their water for the night.

Shadow & Lucy

Today I saw Shadow zoom off to the bedroom when I opened the door. Lucy was making her way to come see me. She meowed at me and Shadow rubbed against my legs in the kitchen, while I got their food ready. Today, Lucy came and sat outside the bathroom to supervise me cleaning their box. Haha! When Shadow was done snacking, he went to his spot to look out the window. Lucy was in her lovey mood for awhile today. So, she was busy rolling around by me, getting her chin scratches. She played for just a little today. Shadow came out to see what we were up to after awhile. They both hopped up on the couch when I opened their special snack jar. They were pretty excited!
