This afternoon Miranda did a big stretch up against the wall when I got in. She was much more excited to play today since it wasn't raining out. She ran outside and grabbed her red bone that was laying on the patio. She began a game of tug with me right away! She fetched it for me a couple times, then went to lay in her spot by the fence. Later we headed inside and she got a nice back scratch before I left.
The boys were happy to see me this evening. They both ran outside for a little bit while I got their dinner ready. They and Sugar all joined me in the kitchen to eat. Afterwards, they went back outside for a little bit since it was warm out. They came back in and Jimmy ran and got me his new reindeer toy to play with. He had fun fetching it again and again! He took a little break to snuggle with me and give me lots of kisses. Buddy was snuggled up on his bed by the window. Later, he went over by Charlie's cage and was sniffing around, eating bird seed. Charlie crawled down his ladder and joined Buddy! It was so cute! Everyone went back outside once more before bedtime, then got their yummy snack.
Tonight the boys were just as excited to see me! They woo-wooed at me while I let them out, then danced circles around me to say hello. Wilma was too comfy napping on her bed to get up. She sat up and watched as I let the boys out, then decided to lay back down. Too wet outside! The boys raced over to one side of the yard and hung around by the fence. They came back to the patio to curl up. But soon they both stuck their heads up and took off again! I saw it was a little orange and white kitty in the next yard that was keeping them so entertained. They watched the kitty and barked at it a couple times. Neeky eventually came to lay on the patio again. Fezz wandered over to the back of the yard and stared out into the distance. It started to rain again, so Neeky wanted to go back inside. Fezz didn't mind at all, and even stayed out there for awhile. When he was ready, we all headed inside. For as wet as it was outside, they didn't get muddy at all. So it was a quick wipe of their paws before we went in. Wilma was still comfy snoozing away on her bed. She hadn't moved an inch. I went over to pet her for a little bit. Fezz kept busy chewing on different toys and rolling around with them. The boys spent a little time wrestling with each other. Later, Fezz crawled into his spot between the couches, head first. He's so silly!
I think little Miranda was sleeping today when I came to see her! She wasn't right at the door like usual. She came waltzing out of the bedroom as I turned the corner. She ran back in though, to quick grab a pink toy! She traded it for her red bone before we went outside. I threw her toy once and she ran out, only to leave it in the grass. She didn't like the rain! I went out and grabbed the toy for her, which she then happily played tug with me. After awhile she crawled under the chair and sat for a bit, so I tried to get her to come out into the grass and play! It wasn't raining hard, but she wasn't gonna budge from her dry patio. We soon went inside and filled her water bowl, before she ran off to go back to her nap.
The boys were singing their song to me as I came in! I was greeted with excited hugs and lots of kisses. Wilma got up too, to see what all the fuss was about. We all headed outside to play. Wilma did a lot of exploring tonight, wandering from one side of the yard to the other. The boys did for a bit too, then they got to wrestling around with each other. Later, everyone found a spot to curl up and relax, enjoying the cool evening. Fezz had his spot on the patio chair. After awhile, Neeky was ready to go inside. Wilma curled up on her bed and took a snooze. The boys were busy taking turns giving me kisses! Later Neeky found a toy to lay down and chew on. Of course, then Fezzi wanted the same one! I dug out another similar toy for him, but then they were done with that anyways. Neeky got started on his dinner while Fezz played with me. Fezz joined in after a bit, until it was time to go back to bed.
Miranda ran right for the back door today when she saw me come in. Once outside, she gave me a big hug before wandering into the grass to do her business. She ran back and danced around while I scratched her back. We headed in so she could grab a toy for us to play with. We played tug with her red bone and even got a few rounds of fetch in too!
The girls met me at the door this evening, and Sasha was barking away. She quickly quieted and the girls followed me into the garage to go outside. After spending a few minutes out there, they came back in and waited while I picked up the ornaments that were on the floor. Verena was ready for play, bringing over her rope toy! Sasha joined in, fetching me her ball. I kept them each occupied, playing tug with Verena with one hand and throwing the ball for Sasha with the other! I let them both out potty once more before bed. Verena came in and curled up on the couch with her rope. Sasha laid next to the chair I was sitting in. They both followed me to the door when it was time to go.
This afternoon Miranda peeked at me through the door as I opened it. She danced around as we made our way to the back door. She ran outside and quickly did her business. Then, she ran over for a quick back scratch. I found her red bone toy in the grass and threw it for her. She played tug with me for awhile, since she didn't want to give it up! We headed back inside, Miranda carrying her bone, and I filled up her water dish.
When I arrived this afternoon Frankie ran out of the hall to see me. She sat down by my feet and I gave her a big hello hug. Then she was ready to go outside. We headed over to her usual spot where she went potty for me right away. I let her linger a little longer, just incase she wasn't finished. We headed back upstairs and it was time for supper. She quickly ate, then ran to sit down by me for some attention. This evening she quickly ran to greet me again. She sat down so properly by the door while I put on her collar and leash. We headed out and she sniffed around her usual spot again. Once she was done, we headed back inside to escape the cold. Then she got a treat for being so good. After that she sat by me again and got more attention. She got her chin scratched and her back scratched, she loved it. She even did a little dance.
This afternoon Bootsie sat by the chest and turned his head to the side as he watched the pooches run out of their room. They were pretty excited to get outside again today. They all surrounded me at first to say hi, before running off to play. Tizzy was burning off some energy today running laps around and around! JR kept running up to me for some attention. Buck would get jealous and come to take over. Eventually he grabbed his squirrel toy and played with that for a bit. Buck had a blast rolling around in the leaves! Then, he sat and stared up into his favorite tree. The others were at the back of the yard, saying hi to the neighbor dog. Chloe and Tizzy would make occasional run-bys to get pet! Chloe and Buck were ready to go in when it was time, but I had to round up the babies to come inside. Bootsie was by the door waiting for us when I came to collect their bones.
