Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Sugar was wearing her blanket like a little poncho when I came in tonight! I had to get her out of it because she couldn't on her own. Everyone was ready to go outside pretty quick. When they came in I got Mattie and Jimmy their meds again. I grabbed another container of the food so I could give Buddy his. Sugar must really like it! She was barking up a storm the whole time I was dividing it up into bowls! Buddy ate all of his with no problem. Mattie and Buddy wanted to go back outside after they were finished eating supper. Jimmy snuggled with me for awhile. Everyone went back to bed right away for me and then I gave them their treats. I think Buddy likes that, because then he doesn't have to guard his treat so much! lol

Um... I seem to be stuck. Can you help me out of this?

Maggie & Moe

Maggie & Moe were very excited when I came in this afternoon! Maggie went out for me right away, but Moe didn't want to go out. She kept getting toys and rolling over by me! I eventually was able to pick her up and take her out with me. They both started running and chasing around like usual. After awhile Moe was ready to go back inside. We went in and played for a little bit. I gave them each a treat after we came inside. Tonight they were just as excited to see me. Moe still didn't want to go outside for me right away. She brought me a rawhide and I was able to bribe her out with that. It got a little cooler out so they both wanted to go back inside pretty quick. When we came in they both sat by the couch and stared at me, patiently waiting for their treats! After they got a snack they were bringing me toys, jumping on my lap and licking my hands! Maggie wanted all the attention and got jealous if I pet Moe. When I was leaving they both snuggled up in their beds by the fireplace.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

All the pups are doing fine this afternoon! I opened Sugar's cage and she stood up, stretched, and ran into the next cage! She kept burying her head in the blankets when I came to see if she would come out. Everyone went outside this afternoon except for Sugar today (usually Mattie is the one who stays in). They all went back in their cages right away for me again and Sugar switched cages. lol

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Sugar was hiding in her blankie again this morning when I came in to let them out. I let everyone else out to go potty and she just sat in her cage. When they all came back in I gave Mattie and Jimmy their meds. I didn't even try with Buddy and used that container of food to give his pills in. Sugar finally emerged from her cave! The other 3 finished their portions within seconds! They really like that. I had to make sure no one tried to get Buddy's till he was finished. When they were done, Mattie started rolling around all over the floor! Sugar and Buddy wanted to go outside, so I let them out for a little bit. Buddy came back in and found a rawhide, then jumped on his spot on the couch. Everyone went in their beds for me right away this morning.

Can I have my treat now??

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Buddy met me at the door this afternoon. When I went in to let the other two out of their cages, Sugar stood up and was covered by the blanket. She made her little barking sounds and didn't want to come out right away! I tried to find her in there and finally she emerged. I let them all out (except Mattie), and Mattie laid down by the door. It was nice and sunny out when I came, so Jimmy was too busy playing to come back inside! I gave them all a treat when they came in. Buddy didn't want to go back in his cage for me, so I let him stay out again.

Dakota & Benny

It was nice and sunny out for our walk today! I noticed the back door was cracked open, so I closed and locked it. I saw that Kota must have chewed up her collar! She was very good while I put her harness on, so it didn't take me as long as usual when she bounces around. I think today was the first time in awhile it was dry enough that Kota & Benny didn't get all muddy! Benny got excited when the mail truck drove past us, and then again when a large truck went by. Kota had loose stool today and she was squatting for quite awhile trying to go. When we got home Kota went right in her cage, had a drink and laid down. I pet her for a few minutes and I filled up their bowls before I left.

Dakota & Benny

I let Kota and Benny go outside to go potty for a bit when I got there today. Kota went both and had solid stool. Kota ran a few laps around the yard. As soon as they were done they wanted to go back inside, so I got them all cleaned up. Benny started chasing Kota around the living room in circles. Then they both came running at me and Benny jumped in my lap while Kota sat next to me. They suddenly got this fascination with licking my clothes today! lol They especially liked my knee so I had a big wet spot there. After awhile Kota started to get very playful so she and Benny began wrestling and rolling all over the floor. I think Benny kept running to me so I'd save him! They both got a lot of tummy rubs and back scratches today and kept coming back for more!

Dakota & Benny

I let Kota outside when I got there this afternoon. Benny was playing keep-away, running circles around the living room with his ball. Kota was not too happy that she was out and Benny was inside. I brought her back in and tried to catch sneaky little Benny! I almost had him a couple times when he would run past me, but he's just too quick! Eventually he decided he wanted to play fetch and brought me his ball, so I tricked him into going out. Kota ran out with him again and was just running like crazy in the backyard! She went potty again and her stool was pretty soft. I went over to check it and Kota zoomed past me and mud went flying! haha! I got them both all dried off when they came back inside. Benny and I played fetch for awhile while Kota sat by me and got her back scratched. I gave them both a treat before I left.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Everyone was very quiet when I came in today. Usually I say hi when I walk in and they all start barking. Mattie was sleeping in the bedroom instead of by the door. I let them all out and wiped all their paws when they were ready to come back inside. I decided to try and give Buddy little pieces of cheese and turkey without the pills to see if he would even take anything. He spit the cheese out right away, but he did take the turkey. He only took one pill with that and kept getting the other out. I used the pigz-in-blanket treat again and got him to take the other one. Sugar and Jimmy were very snuggly with me this morning. Mattie came over and sat by me too while I pet her. Jimmy was the only one who went willingly in his cage today. The other two scattered when they knew it was that time! Sugar actually ran over to the other bedroom that they used to stay in.

Dakota & Benny

Kota & Benny were very excited to go for their walk today! Kota kept giving me hugs and was licking my face while I was trying to get the leashes and harness all hooked up. The snow on the sidewalks has all melted, but everything is all wet again. I was surprised that they didn't get too dirty today. A big delivery truck drove past us while we were walking and Benny tried to scare it away by running after it and barking! haha! He's so tough! He also did a handstand while peeing on a fire hydrant today. It was the funniest thing to see! He was standing on his front legs, one leg lifted in the normal position and he raised the other off the ground too. When we got back I got them all dried off. Kota was a very good girl for me and stood still until I was finished. She went right in her cage and wasn't too interested in eating anything today.
