Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

When I pulled in the driveway tonight, the little ones all came running around the corner to see who was here. Mattie did too! I let them all in and got their supper ready. Mattie was roaming all over and following me around. She did look really good tonight! Mattie and Jimmy were waiting for me to put their bowls down. Buddy and Sugar joined in as soon as I opened the container! After they all ate, Mattie went and rolled around on the floor. She was getting up and down really well tonight. I sat down by her and Jimmy came over by us too. Sugar was busy moving from bowl to bowl, making sure she got every last bit of the good stuff! I usually give them all a treat before I leave, and walk over to give Mattie her treat last. Tonight she actually followed me into the bedroom and waited for hers!

Just so you know, I'm right here... so you can pet me now!! :)

Dakota & Benny

Benny was running circles around the living room again today, carrying his little orange basketball toy. It was a nice day out for our walk and a little cooler. Kota kept trying to drink out of little puddles that were left from the storms last night. She'd get excited when she saw one and would hop over to it! When Benny was passing his favorite houses, Kota was getting excited too and jumped over by him a few times. She saw a baseball on the sidewalk, picked it up and tossed it for herself. Then Benny tried to get it, but I think it was too big for him to pick up!

Dakota & Benny

Benny was happy to see me today! He was racing around the living room like usual. Kota hadn't escaped today before I got there, so that's good. She was talking to me while I got their leashes on. When we got outside, she seemed to be fascinated by the tree out front. She kept looking up at it! They both hopped in the same bush by the mailbox and went potty. They're so silly! After we got going, both Kota and Benny kept stopping to smell the different flowers we passed by. A lot of the dogs we usually pass by weren't outside today, so Benny was pretty quiet for most of our walk. It was very windy out, so Kota and Benny's hair were blowing every which way. They looked so cute. :) The breeze was nice, so Benny didn't get too hot today. I gave Kota some yummy ice cubes when we got home.

Maddie, Spencer, Izzy, Nino, Kitty, Willie, Tilly & Natilie

Kitty was hanging out on the back porch when I came last night. Everyone else started barking as soon as they saw me! I let everyone out to play for awhile. I got the corgi's food ready and opened the gate for them. They all went into their own runs right away for me. Kitty came in and started eating her food, so I locked her in for the night. When the Willie, Tilly and Natilie were finished eating, they came outside and sat over by the gate. Tilly was running laps with Nino along the fenceline. Before it was time to go, I fed the others their supper and put them to bed for the night. This morning they were all up and waiting for me. The corgis announced my arrival to the rest! I let Maddie, Spencer, Izzy and Nino out in the backyard to play again. I opened the door so Kitty could go explore, but she hung around inside while I was there. Kitty was very snuggly with me, and she eventually left right before I did today. Maddie and Spencer kept coming to me to get their itchies for them! Then they would go over by Izzy at the back door and bark to go inside. Nino sure loves to run! He was zooming all over the backyard nonstop! He would see me petting Maddie and Spencer and he'd get jealous. He jumped right in the middle to be the center of attention. He had fun running laps with Tilly again this morning. I gave everyone a little snack for breakfast this morning before I left.

Dakota & Benny

Benny was running circles around the living room when I came in last night. I let them both outside and they took off as soon as they hit the concrete! Kota was racing around and around. I guess she had a little energy to burn! I think Benny likes his new fence, since he doesn't have to protect his yard from the neighbor doggies anymore. Usually he just spends the whole time racing back and forth along the fence, but tonight he actually played fetch with me for awhile. Benny joined Kota for a little bit running circles around the yard too! He didn't want to bring me the ball back, so I had to keep finding a new one to throw. They got pretty muddy, but not nearly as bad as last time. I hosed Kota's legs off and she wasn't too happy about that! I let her inside and took Benny to the tub to rinse his legs and tummy off. After I dried him, I opened the door and Kota was waiting for him! Kota had some supper afterwards, and Benny got a back and tummy scratchin'. He started rolling around and rubbing his head on me. He was so funny!

Kota chillin' on the patio table!

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Mattie was barking when I came in this morning. I let the little ones out, then worked on getting Mattie out. She's still pretty wobbly today. She walked over to the bucket outside and had a drink, then laid down out there again. The storm was coming, so I got her up and tried getting her in the house again. She fought it and did want to go in. I did get her in before it started to rain. She ate for me and was a little reluctant to take her glyco flex treats, but she still did. I gave her another small bowl of water. She seems to be very thirsty lately. The other three ate and got their meds. Buddy coughed and hacked once again this morning. Buddy and Jimmy were naughty little boys this morning and started fighting over the food! I got them to break it up, but there was still tension between them the rest of the time I was there. Mattie was trying to get up again, so I helped her. She wandered into the bedroom to lay in her corner, and Jimmy and I sat with her for awhile.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

The little ones got to spend the afternoon outside today! I helped Mattie up so she could go out. I had to lift her all the way up and let her try to stand a couple times before she got it. When she walked out, she was pretty wobbly on her feet. I followed her to make sure she was getting around ok. She got a drink out of the bucket by the house and then laid down for a bit. Buddy coughed once and did the hacking again tonight. I got their meds and supper ready, then went back out to check on her. I got her up again and led her back toward the house. She didn't want to come back inside! I think maybe she slipped and the floors are making her nervous again. After I finally got her inside, she laid down right away, so I brought her a food bowl and filled a small bowl of water for her. I sat down and stayed with her and gave her attention while she ate and then rested. Poor baby girl! Hopefully she will have a better day tomorrow.

Dakota & Benny

I parked across the street today, since the fence guys were there. Then I noticed Benny's blue ball was laying by the curb in front of my car! Wonder how it got there... I brought it in for him, so he was pretty happy about that! He was zooming around the living room in circles until I let Kota out! You were right, she was pretty talkative today! They both barked oh so ferociously (haha) at the guy working outside, and he just laughed! It was really nice out again for our walk. Benny was actually pretty quiet for most of the way today. He did bark at a couple of his favorite houses though. When we got back inside I gave them some ice cubes again, and Kota really liked that! Benny heard the guys working in the backyard and wasn't too happy! I think he might have seen them through the blinds or something too, so he had to let them know he was going to protect his house!

This is my spoiled rotten little husky! :) She's tiny like Kota too.

Pheonix, Cole & Oliver

Pheonix and Oliver were waiting at the door for me this morning. They followed me around to their water bowl, but no Cole! I searched for him and found him sleeping under the dining table. I called his name a couple times, then he finally woke up! Sleepy head! I took them all outside with me for awhile. They all stayed outside today for the most part, until they all lined up for their yum yums! Cole and Oliver explored in the yard while Pheonix sprawled out and soaked up the sun. They all took turns coming over by me for some attention.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

There was a lot going on this morning so the puppies were all very excited! Jym was there getting ready to leave when I came in. Buddy coughed once and did the hacking at the end, but I think it was due to all the excitement. I let Buddy and Jimmy out to go potty. Mattie and Sugar didn't feel like it I guess. After the boys came back in I got their breakfast and meds ready. Mattie got up and had a drink while she waited. They were all staring at me and waiting for me to put the bowls down! Mattie ate a good amount, and even protected her bowl!
