Caleb

Caleb was happy to see me today! I let him out and he made sure to bring his blue squeaky bone with him as we went outside. He walked with me to the side of the house to get the hose. I turned it on and he just had a blast! He first tried to chomp at the water and get a drink. Then he ran around and chased after the spray and even hopped around on his hind legs trying to get it! He was one wet puppy dog! I turned it off for a little bit and he immediately started zooming around the yard! We played fetch a little bit, and of course he did some "keep away" from me. I brought out his orange puzzle toy so he could cool down and play with that while he air dried a little. I dried him off real good before we went inside. We played around with his puzzle toy... until there were no more treats in it! Then I got out his green squeaker and we did some tug of war with that!

Maggie & Moe

This morning the girls were happy to see me! We went outside to play for awhile. It was just starting to get hot out. Miss Moe decided to take a swim in her little pool to cool off! Maggie was exploring around the yard. She came around the corner and they both took off after each other! After some running around the girls came and sat on the patio for awhile. Moe took a little nap under one of the chairs and Maggie sprawled out next to me. We went inside to cool down and they came to sit by me. Moe finished the food in her little bowl so I refilled it for her, then she ate a little more! Maggie snuggled up to me and once in awhile they'd both jump up to give me kisses.

Dakota & Benny

This morning I let Kota and Benny play outside for awhile before it go hot out. Benny and I played some fetch while Kota ran a few laps around the yard. There were some workers out in front of the neighbors yard. I think one of them came by the fence and Benny could see them through it, because he suddenly started barking and running toward it! After we were done playing we went inside so Kota could have her breakfast. Benny came over by me to get his back scratched while Kota ate. This afternoon we played outside some more. Kota was hanging out by the side of the house so I went to see what she was up to. She was just looking through the fence, then started zooming around when she saw me. Benny chased after the ball that I threw for him a couple times. He started to get warm and just laid in the shade for a little bit. We went back in and chased each other around, then they did some wrestling with each other. I tossed Benny's toys for him and I watched him try to fit both his ball and his big blue squeaky bone into his mouth at the same time!

Maggie & Moe

This afternoon the girls and I went out in the backyard for a little while. Both girls were carrying around their rawhides like little cigars! Maggie put hers down then followed Moe around. "Hey I can help you with that!" They chased each other around the yard until they were too hot and wanted to go back inside. I sat on the floor by the couch with them and each picked a side to sit and snuggle up with me! Miss Moe would run to her mini bowl to grab a couple bites then come back by us. They each took turns jumping up to kiss my face! Tonight the girls zoomed to the front door to meet me as I came in! We sat outside for awhile since it was cooler out than earlier today. Maggie was playing around in the shadows. She'd suddenly appear in the light from the house, then Moe would run and chase after her! They ran around with their rawhides again and each laid down on the patio to chew on them. We went in and sat in the living room again. The girls started wrestling around in the living room next to me. Moe was rolling around and full of energy! She brought me a toy and Maggie got jealous... even though I was still petting her! She kept moving to the same side Moe was on and tried to get all of my attention on her. The girls followed me to the door as I was leaving. Moe grabbed out a different toy from her box, "Can't you stay and play some more?". Such sad little faces!

I'll take that rawhide if you don't want it...

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon I let Kota and Benny play out in the backyard for awhile. I missed my little buddies! Kota gave me a big hug and lots of kisses! She was talking to me a lot too. She did a couple laps around the yard while Benny found a ball for us to play with. He only let me throw it for him a couple times, otherwise he'd grab it before I could! It was pretty hot out and they both ended up laying in the shade by the shed under the pool ladder. We went inside to play some more. We chased each other around the living room, then Kota and Benny did some wrestling around! This afternoon I came to pick up Benny and Kota was not happy that I left her home! Poor girl cried as we were leaving. I felt so bad! I carried Benny into the building and he was quiet the whole time. He kept looking over my shoulder at the dog behind us. I had to set him down for a second, then he decided to start barking! As soon as I picked him up, quiet again. Silly boy. He did great for his vaccinations! When we got home Kota nudged him before they went outside. "Why didn't you bring me?!" Then Kota did her woo-wooing at me too! Tonight I stopped by quick to let them go potty again. I had Kota playing with her little kibbles of food before I left. She makes me laugh every time!

Gracie & Jack

This morning we all went outside for a little while when I got there. They both did a little exploring and rolling around the yard. When they were ready to go in I fed them their breakfast. Jack was waiting patiently for Gracie to finish. They came into the living room and started to wrestle around with each other some more! Jack would roll over on his back while Gracie messed around with his ears and face. He walked away to go lay down, but Gracie wanted him to keep playing so she ran and jumped at him. They chased each other around the living room and grabbed the long pink squeaker toy to play some tug-of-war! They are so funny! I gave them each a little rawhide treat before I left. Gracie was walking around on the fireplace hearth and kept looking into the glass. I think she wanted to hide it in there! Jack finished his pretty quick, then followed me to the door. Somebody wants to go for a walk again!

Treat? Yes please!

Gracie & Jack

This morning after Gracie and Jack finished their breakfast, I played fetch with Gracie. Jack laid by me and got pet the whole time. Gracie was running so fast down the hallway that she'd roll up the rug by the door! She got tired of playing with her sheep, so she excitedly brought me her little hedgehog. After awhile she decided that she wanted to play with Jack too. They started to playfully wrestle around with each other! It was so funny to watch. This afternoon after they finished their supper we played fetch some more. Gracie took little breaks to come lay across my lap upside down! She sure loves her tummy rubs. Jack was laying by me, tail a-wagging, while I pet him. On Gracie's way back with her toy, she stopped in front of Jack to crouch down. She stuck her heiny in the air and was wagging while holding her toy. She wanted him to play again, so he got up and they chased around some more. Gracie ate all of both her meals today while I waited for her. Ever since last night Jack had been wanting to take a walk again! He kept following me to the door and would get excited thinking he was coming with me. Tonight he got his wish. After they went potty out back we went for another nice long walk! We saw a huge frog sitting in the grass. Gracie ran up to check it out, then wanted to chase after him when he hopped away! I saw a little kitty sitting under a car and thought Jack might want to go chase it, but he didn't. They both walk just excellent for me!

Gracie & Jack

This morning I fed Gracie and Jack their breakfast after they went outside to go potty. Gracie finished all her food while I stood and waited for her. When they were finished Gracie ran around and played fetch with her little sheep. Jack laid down in the dining room and started singing for me while I talked to him! His tail was wagging the whole time. Eventually he got up and came to sit by me so I'd pet him. Gracie was busy walking back and forth along the couch to itch herself. Jack started to roll around on his back when I started to rub his belly. Gracie came running over and tried playing with him and even joined in the rolling around! This afternoon I let them out again when I got there, then they ate their supper for me. They both were very happy to see me! Gracie rolled around out in the grass and did a little army crawl. They made me laugh when Gracie peed, then Jack peed on her spot on the grass, then they kept going back and forth on the same spot! When we went in they both stayed by me for their attention! A fly came over by Jack and he tried to hunt it down. I kept them in this afternoon because Jack really didn't want to go out and it was super hot out today with the heat index. Tonight they were both sitting at the front door dancing around excitedly when I came!  When I let them out, one of the neighbors through the backyard shot off a firework. Gracie and Jack both ran to the back of the fence and barked at it! I grabbed Gracie's harness when we got inside and she came over and looked at me curiously. Jack knew what was up and helped me by sticking his head through the collar. He was very excited! We saw an older gentleman walking his two dogs as we were leaving, and he knew Jack and said hi. We took a nice long walk tonight! They were pretty tired when we got home and both laid on the cool floor.

Maycie & Luke

This morning Maycie and Luke must have heard me coming. I could hear them barking before I even opened the door. They were bouncing up and down to go outside! I brought them back in after they went potty and fed them their breakfast. Luke was finished first like usual. He put his front paws up on the gate and started to whine to go play. We went out and he got his game of fetch! Maycie had him chasing her around for awhile too!

Maycie & Luke

This morning Maycie and Luke hurried to eat their breakfast so we could go out and play! I had put Luke's ball away in the cupboard last night so he wasn't getting water everywhere after dunking it in his bowl. He knew right where it was! Instead of waiting by the door with Maycie, he made sure I got his ball down first. Maycie did some sniffing around by the shed this morning. She rolled around in the grass a bunch and even did her little army crawl! Tonight when I let them out it had just started to rain. They didn't seem to mind! Luke and I played fetch as usual. Maycie helped him and chased around for the ball too. I found her a little stick that I threw. She had stolen his ball and tried to get both in her mouth at the same time! Eventually Luke got the stick and chewed it into little pieces as quickly as he could. He was happy as long as he had something!
