Winston

Today I let Winston out and got him hooked up. We headed outside to go for a little walk. It was actually quite nice out today, so we kept walking awhile. He got to sniff around at trees and bushes. We got a nice long walk in today before we headed back in. He was ready for some tug! He grabbed his rope and put one end towards me, then grrr-rr-ed loudly! Haha. Winston put all his muscle into it and did his bunny hops backwards. When he got enough tug in, we played a little fetch with his green bone.

Eddie & Butler

Today I let Eddie out and he pranced his circles around me while I went to get Butler. He came out and got his medicine applied. The boys and I went outside for awhile. They were busy exploring to start out today. A neighbor dog was out, so they ran over to the fence to say hi. Then, the boys were checking out some of the holes in the yard. They must have been looking for critters! After awhile, Eddie and Butler decided to lounge around. When it was time, Eddie went in for me like a good boy. Butler wanted to play his game today, but I tried to ignore that and didn't chase after him. I waited him out, then he came in on his own.

Oscar

Today Oscar was right at the door to see me. He stopped for a few heiny scratches, then we made our way to the door. Oscar laid in the grass to soak up some sunshine. Later, he wandered around a bit to check things out. It wasn't too terribly hot out today, so he wanted to stay out the whole time. After exploring, he laid down and relaxed awhile longer. When we went in, he went and sprawled out on his ottoman to wait for me to get his snack. He did all his tricks for me before I left.

Katie & Sage

Today the girls barked to announce my arrival. Then, they both were excited to get to come out and play. Katie came out for awhile first. She ran around, would swing over by me, then would go explore some more. After I had cleaned out her side, she went and sat in there. She's such a good girl! I called for her to come out, since she had more time to play yet before it was time to go in. She got her dinner, while Sage took her turn out. She raced around a bit as well. I tossed her Kong out while I cleaned her side. I think that threw her off a little, because she kept coming in by me to look for it! "I know I left it in here somewhere..." She and I got a little game of fetch in before it was time for her dinner.

Frank & Susie

This afternoon Frank was lounging in his bed when I walked out, and Susie was on the patio. He hopped up right away and ran over to say hi. He followed me inside to get their dinner ready. I thought it was funny how he was sitting and waiting at his inside food dish! Haha. He came back out with me and worked on his food with Susie. I went in and got them some fresh water, along with some for the plants as well. When Frank was done, he sat in front of me for some pets. A big hawk was flying around outside today, so that caught his attention and kept him occupied a bit. Since he was busy barking and chasing after that, Susie snuck in some attention. Later, I got them their snacks. Frank went to lay in the grass to work on his, while Susie laid in the shade of that patio. They had a beautiful day outside today!

Katie & Sage

Today it had rained out during the morning hours. It stopped and the sun was out by the time I went to see the girls. They got all excited when they saw me. I turned off their misters since it was cooler out and would be tomorrow as well. Katie came out and got to run around for awhile. I cleaned her side and got her dinner ready. She had explored, then sprawled out on the grass for a bit. After she had some time to roam and got her eye taken care of, then she went back in to eat. Sage was more than ready for her turn! She kept trying to toss her Kong under the gate to the other side while I cleaned. Haha. She ran around while I took care of her stuff next. She couldn't decide if she wanted to come in by me or wait outside for me to play. Finally, it was time! She got a nice game of fetch in today before dinner.

Frank & Susie

Today I tried not to let Frank come inside with me when I got there. It had been raining all morning, so I wasn't sure if he had muddy tootsies! He met me at the door and followed me while I gathered their dishes. Miss Susie was hanging out in her bed. The sun was coming out while I was there and started drying things out. The pups ate their dinners, then Frankie wanted his attention. I tried to throw the ball around with him, but he would wander out and just look at it. "What do you want me to do with that?" Haha. Susie wandered over for a few pets, while Frank was exploring the yard. Frank made me laugh today. A bird flew overhead and he chased and barked at it. Silly boy. The kiddos got their snacks and went to their own spots to enjoy them.

Shadow

This morning Shadow met me at the door. He followed me to the pantry to get his treats out and he hopped up on one of the shelves. He sat right on his canned food, as if to tell me he was hungry. Haha! I got his food ready and he snacked a bit. He met me in our spot when we were both ready. Shadow was a little more antsy today. He sat in my lap for a little while to snuggle and get some pets. Then, he sat on the couch, later on the table next to it, then went to eat some more. When he came back, he plopped to the floor and started to swat around his green ball. After some play time, he was ready for more attention. He will be happy to have his people home again!

Frank & Susie

Today I walked out and didn't see anyone at first, but I heard a tail thumping! That was Susie wagging at me from her bed. Then, Frank came crawling out from under the patio! He came in and out with me every time to get their dinner, fresh water and water for the plants. Since he finished his food first, he came over and got some attention. After a little while he decided to go explore around the yard, so Susie took the opportunity to come get some one - on - one time with me. She snuggled up close to sit by me and got some pets. She's such a sweetie. Eventually, Frank came running back over and wanted more pets too! I got them both their snacks and topped off their water again before I left.

Katie & Sage

This evening the girls started barking when they saw me come in. I let Katie out first and she zoomed around the yard, then did her business. She roamed around while I cleaned up. Then, she came and sat for me to clean her eye up for her before it was time for dinner. Sage came out for her turn next. She was so excited! She raced around and made sure to get her Kong right away. She kept tossing it to me while I was cleaning out her side. I told her she had to wait just a couple more minutes, so she went to go visit the neighbor dogs. We got some fetch time in before it was her turn for dinner.
