Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I got Cole up, then went to see the girls. He was sleepy again this morning and took a little while to come out and see me. He and I went out back, while Zoie was taking her potty break. She came in and had her breakfast, while Sadie went out. Sadie came in to eat as well, and actually finished before Zoie did. She was more concerned that I might come in there and steal her food. Haha. I let Sadie out to go enjoy some more time outside. Zoie and Cole hung out in the kitchen with me for a little while. Zoie ran over with her frisbee, but when I tried to grab on, ran the other way. "Nice try!" This afternoon it was pretty warm out. The kiddos and I headed out back. Sadie went and plopped down in her spot in the grass to sunbathe. Cole laid in a sunny spot on the patio. Miss Zoie came and sat with me in the shade, when she wasn't busy exploring. I gathered up her plethora of toys she kept bringing out there and got them all back inside for her. Cole and Sadie retired to the bedroom, and Cole got to nap on the bed. This evening I let all the pups out back. Zoie kept trying to grab more toys to bring outside, so I made her leave most of them in. They all did some exploring around the yard tonight before dinner. When it was time, they were ready to come in and the girls got their snacks.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I let miss Ruby out and called for Rusty. He came out and the pups and I wandered outside. Ruby ran to the grass and did one of her duties, then tried to run back inside. I called for her right away and she stopped on the patio. She just gave me a look like, "Do I have to?". Haha! She finally came out and finished up her business. As soon as she was done, she raced back to the patio. She hung out up there a little while and sniffed around. Rusty was busy exploring the yard. I tossed a ball for him, but he wasn't too interested after it landed. He wandered inside shortly after Ruby. They were both sitting in the front room, so I joined them. Ruby got some belly rubs and she started getting silly. Soon, she wandered off to go lounge on her couch.

Winston

Today Winston was lounging in his bed when I arrived. He got up and followed me to the door to get his harness on. As we made our way out, he kept stopping to sniff along the way. Must have smelled something good! We got out to the grass and he wandered around. He did his business, then we continued. It was another nice afternoon. We took a nice stroll around, and he was able to check things out. When we got back home, he slid around on the floor until I got his harness off. Then, he disappeared and came running back, grrr-rrr-ing at me so excitedly! He came out with his blue treat ball. We played a little fetch with that. He would bark at me with it in his mouth and it sounded so silly! Later, he went and got his rope for me, so we could play a game of tug.

Eddie & Butler

Today Eddie sat right up when I walked in. Butler was still snoozing. I let the boys out and they happily said hi, before running outside. Butler found his tennis ball and curled up on the chair outside for awhile. Eddie would come over and mess with him. Haha. Then, the boys would run in and come visit me. Eddie wanted his heiny scratches. Back out again, they did some sunbathing on the patio. Later, the boys wandered in to cool off and get a drink. Butler came over to play, then the boys ended up wrestling around on the couch, being silly.

Sampson & Haley

This morning I got Haley's breakfast ready. I took that into her room and filled up her other dishes. Silly girl was hanging out in the shower again. She poked her head out and meowed at me a bit. She wandered out to sniff at me, then went to go eat her food. Sampson was still sleeping when I opened the back door. He popped right up and was ready to go! He was bouncing up and down for his cheese snack. He worked on his breakfast, then was chasing me down for his treat. Haha! He and I sat outside and enjoyed the cool morning. He got his pets in. This evening, Sampson was awake and wandering around the yard when I got there. I took Haley her dinner. She was being lovey again and was rubbing her face up against things as she meowed at me. She waited for me to leave to go work on her dinner. Sampson watched me get his dinner ready tonight. He bounced up just as I opened the door, and got his allergy medicine. He could hardly wait for his other snack, and had to take a break from dinner to come get it from me. After he ate, we sat and I pet him awhile. Then, we got a game of fetch in.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I let Cole out back and the girls each out front to do their business. Cole wandered out with me and went potty right away. Next, I got them each going on their breakfast, while I filled up water dishes. The girls each got to spend awhile lounging outside again after they finished. This afternoon it was very nice out again. All the kiddos came out back with me. Sadie lounged out in the middle of the yard and sunbathed. Zoie was busy running all over the place. Cole was wandering a bit as well, but then came back to sit with me. He and Sadie get so jealous of each other! They both want my attention to themselves. Haha. Zoie came over later and put her toys in my lap, so I threw them for her. She went and got them, but didn't come back. Haha. This evening Sadie and Cole were sitting at the gate, waiting for me to let them out. Zoie was in the kitchen, with three of her toys crammed in her mouth, ready to go outside! She cracks me up. We all went out back to enjoy the beautiful evening. The kiddos all ate their dinners for me and the girls got their snacks when I tucked them in for the night.

Zoe & Bella

This morning I came in and Bella came sleepily out of her kennel. She followed me to the kitchen, then I let the girls out right away. I inspected all the open areas and saw they did well overnight. We sat outside and they came to say hi for a few pets. We were in and out quite a bit this morning. I saw Zoe had snacked on her food overnight, but didn't look like Bella ate too much. I tried to get them to eat for me, but they just wanted more attention instead. We sat on the couch and Zoe enjoyed some more belly scratches. Soon, she went to go curl up elsewhere on the couch. Bella still sat with me for more pets. We went out once more before I left. This evening I came in and the girls were ready to go out. I saw little Zoe had tinkled on the floor, but that was no big deal. Bella did well today. While the girls were taking their potty break, I cleaned up quick. They were ready for me to come join them! We sat outside for most of the visit. It was such a nice night out. Someone was walking their dog nearby and that got the girls all worked up! Zoe was busy bouncing and barking her soft little bark at the fence. Then Bella was doing a quiet little howl that made me laugh. My pups are not so quiet when they do that! Haha. Later, we went in so they could try and eat for me. I made a little game of it, and got them both to eat some of their dinner for me. Hopefully that'll get their appetite going and they'll finish everything off later.

Zoe & Bella

This afternoon I came in and saw Bella was lounging on the couch. She hopped down to come see me right away. Miss Zoe was in the kitchen, bouncing up and down excitedly! The girls and I headed outside right away. It was a gorgeous afternoon! The girls were excited for some attention at first. I tried to get them to play with some of the toys in the yard, but they both just sat and looked at me. Haha. Once they settled down, they laid next to each other on the patio and relaxed. This evening Bella hopped up right away when I got in and the girls followed me outside. They did well over the afternoon and didn't have any mishaps of any sort. :) We sat outside and the girls were busy checking out different sounds they'd hear. After awhile, we went in so I could see if they'd eat their dinner for me. No one was interested at the moment, so hopefully they'll snack after I'm gone. I sat on the end of the couch and Zoe came and sprawled out on her back for some belly rubs! Bella sat in front of me for pets, and would bounce around plaufully, go get a drink, and come back. She had to check out the bedroom to see if mom and dad were there. Someone misses you!

Sampson & Haley

This morning I got in and started getting breakfast ready for Haley. Sampson was snoozing away outside. I walked into the bathroom and Haley meowed at me from the shower. She poked her head out to see me as I went by. I filled up her dishes and scooped her box. By then, she had emerged to say hi. She was being all lovey this morning and kept rubbing her face on the laundry hamper. I went out to visit Sampson, who was now up and waiting for me. He got his medicine and polished off his food bowl. I began watering plants. When he was done, he came over and was sniffing at my pockets, looking for his snack. I gave him his greenie when I was done. He quickly ate that, then came over for some attention. This evening I saw Sampson was laying on his side, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. He heard me getting things ready in the kitchen and sat up. He knew I was there, so he got up to wait at the door for me. I brought miss Haley her food. I saw her silhouette through the shower door. She sure likes it in there! Haha. She ventured out and talked to me a little. Sampson was ready for his dinner when I brought it out. He quickly ate that and his joint treat after. Sampson pawed at me for more pets and was quite excited tonight! I rubbed his ears a bit and he groaned and got all into that! Haha.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I got Cole up and opened his door. It took him awhile to come out and see me, so he must have been sleepy today! I let Sadie out for a potty break, while Cole and I went out back. He did his business right away for me. Zoie went out for her turn, so I fed the others. When she came in, she got hers as well. While Sadie was lounging outside, Cole and Zoie got some attention. Zoie was all about playing tug with her frisbee again. She makes me laugh when she gets her whole body into shaking that thing around! Sadie came in and got some love while Zoie went back out. I went to get her later and found she had gotten her lead stuck around a bush. This afternoon, all the kiddos and I went out back. It was a gorgeous day out! The pups had fun roaming around. The little neighbor chihuahua was quite obsessed with Zoie today! Haha. This evening I let Sadie and Cole out and we went to get Zoie. Everyone went out back for awhile. Cole hung out with me most of the time and pawed at me for some pets. It was really nice out again tonight. Zoie and Sadie were busy zooming around in the dark. When it was time to go in, Zoie was holding out. I let the other two in and went to go look for her, since I couldn't see her in the dark. I heard her bark at me, so then I knew where she was! She just sat there. "No, I don't want to go to bed!" Haha.
