Bella, Louie & Chico

This evening Bella was quite excited to see me! She couldn't decide whether to say hi or to go outside, so she kept running back and forth between me and the hallway. Haha. She ran outside while I went to check on Louie quick. He got up when he heard me out there. He stumbled around a bit at first, but then he was getting around ok. I went in to get his medicine and dinner ready. I gave his medicine outside, then put Bella in so he could eat. It took a minute, but then he ate very well. He finished it all off for me. I went back in to see what Chico was up to, since he hadn't come out yet. He was just chillin' in his bed. I assume he was protecting some snacks! I finally got him to come out with me, then we joined the others outside for awhile. When it was time, I got them all tucked in with their bedtime snacks.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon Rusty was in the living room stretching as I walked in. He started prancing circles around me, carrying his ball. I let Ruby out and she zoomed out the doggie door. Rusty preferred to go out the back with me instead. He got busy rolling around in the grass right away. Miss Ruby was a good girl and did her business all on her own as soon as she got out there. When she was done, she came over by me for a few heiny scratches, before returning back to the cool house. Rusty brought me his red ball for a little fetch today. He seems to change what his favorite ball is each day! Haha. After a little game, he did some exploring around the yard. Later, he went in to join Ruby on the couch for some relaxation time.

Chica & Paco

Today Chica was sitting on the couch when I came in. Paco came racing out from the bedroom again! He was busy wandering around by me in the kitchen, while I cleaned up. Chica sat on the counter and watched, patiently waiting for her pets and yummy snack. I loved on her a little bit, then got them their food to work on, while I watered the outside plants. They were both waiting at the door for me when I came back in! Paco was ready for some playtime. I got the feather toy out and had him zooming all over the place. Chica went and sat by the bedroom doorway to watch for a bit. I kept trying to call her over. Eventually, she did come by for some more pets. I got her to play with the toy a little while as well. Paco even seemed to understand that it was her turn! Haha. He enjoyed some pets instead.

Winston

This afternoon I got my pal hooked up and we went on our way. It was hot and sticky out today since it rained earlier. Winston did his business, then we got a nice walk in. He was able to sniff around all the trees and bushes that he wanted to. He seemed pretty happy about running through one of the grassy shrubs! Haha. When we were done, we headed back home. He did his silly thing, them grabbed his bone when I got his harness off. He had fun chewing on that, then he wanted to inspect all the stuff on the table that mom had set out! Haha.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out when I arrived. He was busy prancing around in circles. Butler took a minute before he was ready to come out to see us. He got his spray on. After that, the boys messed around with each other for a couple minutes, before going to go sunbathe. The rain had stopped this morning, so it was sunny enough out for their visit. The boys wandered in on their own when they were ready to cool down. Butler tried to be a little stinker again when it was time for him to go back to his bed, but I tried to ignore it today. So, he did end up going in on his own after a little bit.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning all was quiet when I walked in. It had just let up raining. I let Sadie out and put her out front, while I went to get Cole. He and I went out back to try to get him to do his business. I set him out in the grass a couple times, but he didn't have to go. When Sadie had enough time outside, I went to let her in. She was just relaxing on the patio. She sure didn't want to go back into the kitchen! I caught on to her plan right away though, so she didn't get far. Zoie made sure to gather as many toys as she could, before she was ready for her turn outside. Later today I let them all out back. It hadn't rained any more and the ground was dry again. Sadie went out to the yard and laid flat on her side to sunbathe. Cole did the same in a sunny spot on the patio. Zoie was busy exploring and wandering about. Sadie later came to sit by me and give me some kisses. When it was time to go in, Zoie just didn't want to! Haha. She was sitting at the far end of the yard, just staring at me. I called and called. It took me going in to grab some toys before she would come back in. Little goober! Cole got his medicine before I left. This evening, everyone went to spend some time out back again. We saw some dark clouds rolling in, so we tried to spend as much time out there as we could. They all did their business and wandered around. Luckily, we didn't see any rain. This time Zoie came in for me, after she made sure to collect all her toys to bring them back inside.

Chica & Paco

Today the kitties hopped down off the couch and came from the bedroom to see me. Paco started meowing at me right away, then was busy weaving around my legs. Chica hopped up on the counter for some chin scratches. I cleaned their boxes, then got them their little snack. They happily ate that! After they finished, we sat in the living room to play. I love their new kicker toy! Very cute. Paco swatted at that a little, but he lost interest when I got a feather toy out for Chica. They zoomed around after that for awhile. Paco would love on me whenever Chica was taking her turn with the toy. Miss Chica came out on the patio to help me water the outside plants today too! Paco is such a little wiggle worm, that I can never seem to get a good pic of him. Haha.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out, then he walked me over to Butler's bed. I let him out and caught him for his medicine. The boys tried messing around with me a little inside, then they eventually wandered out. They lounged around on the patio awhile, until they heard a neighbor's door open. Both boys shot up and ran over to the fence. Butler stayed there and kept trying to look through the fence to see what was going on. Later, they went in to cool off. Today Butler did not want to go to his bed! He rolled over on his back and wouldn't budge. I had to lift him little by little over to his crate, since he kept squirming around when I'd try to pick him up. Once I got him to his door, he got up and went in. What a goober!

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I walked in and Ruby came bouncing and barking her way into the kitchen. When she saw me, she stopped, then proceeded to the back door. Rusty was busy finding his ball, then he joined us as well. Rusty went right out to go roll around in the grass. Ruby did part of her business, then tried to head back in. I got her to come back out with me, then she finished up. She did not want any part of the hot afternoon! She ran back inside and didn't come back out. Rusty was busy exploring, then he went to get his purple ball for some fetch.

Winston

This afternoon Winston did a big stretch while I opened his gate. He trotted over to the door to wait for me to leash him up. We headed outside and went for a nice walk. We tried to keep to as much shaded area as possible, so we could get a little longer walk in. That sun is hot! Winston told me when he was ready to go in. He just headed back home on his own. Haha. When we got in, he slid around, then got his harness off. He ran and grabbed his little nylabone, sprawled out next to me and worked on that, while I pet him. After a few minutes, he wanted to play. He kept sticking the bone in my hand, then pulling it away before I could grab on. Teasing me! He was a quick little boy today, too quick for me! Later, he got his green bone and had better success for a game of tug with that instead.
