Mandy, Erin, Oscar and Izzy

As I entered the house, I could hear Erin welcoming me back! I opened the door and the girls ran inside and then all of a sudden, Oscar appeared! He was a little tentative, but snuck in and ran upstairs. We all followed and I was able to get Oscar to trust me and we took him out in the garage to join Izzy!

The girls were in an excited mood and wanted to play fetch and tug-o-war. Mandy snuck up behind Erin and grabbed her yellow toy; it was so funny! You can see in the picture how surprised Erin was! Then Mandy went to find her blue toy, so she could have her own! The girls didn't play too long, as they played hard all day. Both Mandy and Erin hopped up on the couch and settled in for the night. I gave them both some love and wished them sweet doggy dreams!

Goodnight!

Mandy, Erin, Oscar and Izzy

The girls met me this afternoon with friendly barks and wagging tails! They came in to cool off, as the sun was warm today! Mandy and Erin took turns at the fresh water bowl, then it was time for a game of tug-o-war with Erin and her yellow toy! Mandy decided she would rather get her tummy and back scratched, than to play! The girls and I went on the hunt to find Oscar, as he was hiding somewhere. Although we didn't find him, we did stop and say hello to Izzy, who was enjoying the warm garage. The girls went outside to eat and got a new fresh bowl of water. I tried to get them to come into the pool with me, but they just looked at me as I waded in the warm water! I gave a few more scratches to each little friend before I left and told them to keep an eye out for Oscar!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Morgan was at the door meowing at me. Tyson came around the corner shortly after. I had to go looking for the sleepyhead! He was still laying in bed, but jumped down to see me when I came in the room. We took a nice long walk this morning. I saw something crawling around in the grass as we were walking. Toby saw it after I did and went to investigate. It was a crawdad! Toby got excited but I made sure he didn't get too close. He had his breakfast after we got home. This afternoon Toby played out in the backyard for a little bit. It was pretty toasty out, so he was ready to come inside to cool off. Morgan sat on the end table and watched us play around. Tyson hopped up into the kitchen sink! He started licking at the faucet, so I turned the water on to a slight dribble. He caught it with his paw and had a drink. Tonight Toby went out in the backyard for a little while again. The kitties were both out, wanting their attention. When I let Toby back inside, he went into his room and hopped on the bed. He had a whole bunch of his toys surrounding him! He grabbed his stuffed kitty and we played some tug of war. Then grabbed it in his mouth and shook it all over the place!

Daisy & Indigo

This morning the girls were very excited to see me. They sure knew that it was nice out today! They both were bouncing up and down, following me everywhere I went. Daisy went over to the counter and looked up at her leash. As soon as I got her purple collar on, they both started barking and were ready to go! They ran to the door and waited for me. It was pretty warm out already this morning and very humid, so we took a slightly shorter walk than normal. When we got home, Daisy cooled herself off by putting her feet in the water bowl again! After they finished their breakfast, Indigo brought me a ball and was ready for some fetch. Daisy was too pooped to chase after it at first. After awhile though, she took over!

Are you coming? We're ready!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Tonight everyone was out in the living room when I came in. Toby met me at the door and we went out in the backyard right away. Tyson came rubbing up against my leg and Morgan gave me a "meow meow" hello! Toby ran around in the darkness and was chasing after bugs for awhile! When we headed back inside I fed him his supper, then we chased around the living room. Toby even played a little hide and seek with me tonight! He disappeared off into the hallway, then I turned on lights in rooms to find him. When I turned on the right one, he came zooming past me! I found his little monkey toy laying in the bedroom, so we played with that for awhile. Toby squatted down on his front legs and teased me with his toy. Anytime I made a move for it, he would take off and run circles around the room! Morgan was watching from his little perch high up on the couch. Tyson was just louging on the floor in the kitchen! He didn't even flinch when Toby would get close.

Don't mind me, I'm just chillin'!

You can see Tyson lounging in the background! haha!

Dakota & Benny

Kota seemed to be feeling much better today! It finally stopped raining long enough for us to take our nice long walk today! Benny was soaked from the wet sidewalks in no time. He loved every minute though! Benny tried chasing after some cars that passed by us. Then he even got Kota excited too when he was barking back and forth with some of the neighborhood dogs. One of Benny's friends moved away, but he still thinks the dogs are out in the backyard everytime we walk by!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Charlie bird was just gabbing away again this morning! I let Buddy and Jimmy out to play for awhile. They just messed around on the patio for a little bit, then decided they wanted back in. I gave Jimmy and Buddy their meds in turkey today. Buddy only took half of his pills. The rest I stuffed in a pigz 'n blankets treat and he gobbled it right up! Sugar came out and had some breakfast, then all went back outside again. This afternoon it had stopped raining, so the boys were able to roam around the yard for a bit.

Daisy & Indigo

This morning was basically a repeat of yesterday for the girls. It was still pretty crummy out, so we didn't get to take our walk. Daisy looked up at her leash sitting on the counter, "Are we going for a walk?". After breakfast she was too occupied playing a game of fetch to miss it! They took turns again, bringing the ball back. Daisy likes to take a break to get a drink of water, then cool off by sticking her feet in the bowl! Today she thought the ball needed to cool off too, so she gave it a bath a couple times. She's so silly! Right before I left, I gave the girls their last yummy rawhide bones. Indigo went right to town on hers! Daisy was dancing circles around me, poking me in the face with her bone. Haha! I think she wanted to make sure I wasn't going to do anything fun without her or go anywhere if she laid down to chew on it.

Dakota & Benny

It was raining pretty heavily when I came to see Kota and Benny today. With Kota not feeling well, I just let them outside for a bit. Benny came in and was ready to play some fetch! I could tell Kota wasn't feeling too well, since she laid down in her cage most of the time and looked pretty miserable. This afternoon when I came to see her, she seemed a little perkier. She nibbled on her food for lunch and even tossed some kibbles around for herself! I joined in and tossed some for them both to chase after. Later this afternoon Kota was acting like her normal self after they came in from outside. She was bouncing around on the furniture, messing around with me and even trying to wrestle with Benny!

Daisy & Indigo

This morning it was raining very heavily when I came to see the girls, so we played inside today. I fed them their breakfast first, then we played some fetch! Daisy kept bringing me the ball and dropping it in my lap. They both took turns being the one who got to bring the ball back. When Indigo would bring it to me, she'd drop it, then Daisy would have to pick it up and hand it to me! Daisy played keep away with the ball for a little bit too. She would prance around with it in her mouth, then stick it right in my face as if to say, "Lookie what I got! You can't have it...". haha! Indigo tried to get me to scratch her back for her, but Daisy kept interrupting. We played fetch until they were both tired out!

Are you gonna throw it? Huh? How 'bout now?
