Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning it was just dounpouring rain outside. I went in to find Tyson waiting for me to say hi. Morgan soon appeared too, wanting a little attention. Toby was in his usual spot, lounging in bed. I got him up and fed him his breakfast. When he finished, I noticed the rain had stopped! So, I got Toby leashed up and off we went. We got our long walk in without the rain starting up again. When we got back home, he had some energy to burn yet. He raced into the bedroom and got his kitty toy. He came out, shaking it all over the place! We played some tug of war and fetch with his favorite toy. This afternoon the rain was still at bay, so we got right on our way for another walk. We got pretty lucky this weekend! On our way out, we saw a tiny little crawdad in the driveway! As we were coming back, we said hi to the neighbors who were working outside with their German shepherds. Toby and I went to sit out back after I got Tyson's sink turned on. Toby got bored and wanted to go back in to play. We played with his kitty toy some more. Before I left, I gave Toby a big hug and kiss and got him a cookie. I will miss them a lot!

Bailey

Miss Bailey was happy to see me this morning! I think she may have had a rough night. I arrived to find the mailbox had been hit by a car. I let Bailey outside to do her business, then got her some breakfast. Next, I went outside to investigate what had happened and talked to some of the neighbors. When I got things taken care of, I headed back inside with Bailey. She and I went out back for just a little bit. She didn't want to stay out real long since it was raining again. Before I left, I gave her a big hug and got her a rawhide. I will miss her!

Crash & Genny

Crash was very excited to see me this morning, jumping all over the place! Genny was happy too, carrying around a different toy this morning. It was just pouring rain when I got there. I let them outside quick to go potty. Genny went just off to the side, only long enough to do her business, then came back. I got her dried off. Surprisingly, Crash took his time out there, not minding the rain. I got him dried off too, then got them their meds and breakfast. They each finished off their bowls. Crash wanted to go back outside after. The rain had let up a little, and he just had a blast! He was racing around and rolling around in the grass. Genny decided to stay in with me, so she sat next to me and we watched Crash play out the window. Genny was happy to get a long back rub. When Crash came back in I got them each a cookie before I left. I will miss them a lot!

Crash & Genny

Crash was standing in the window, barking as I came to the door this evening. Both he and Genny were right there, tails a-wagging, to greet me! Genny was carrying around her little puppy dog toy. I made her leave it inside as we went out to play. Luckily the rain held off, so we had a nice time outside. They each came up to me for a back scratch. Crash and Genny watched the neighbors playing outside with their dog for a bit, then laid in the grass and smelled the air. We headed in to get Crash his medicine and get them dinner. I brought Genny's food over to her and they each finished off their own bowl. Crash came over when he was done and gave me all kinds of kisses! After dinner we went back outside for awhile to enjoy the evening. They each got a treat when it was time to come back inside.

Luke & Maycie

This morning I let Luke and Maycie outside, then went to say good morning to Spiketail. She was not a happy camper this morning! She puffed up and was acting sassy when I turned her light on. I must have startled her. I went back out by the dogs so she could relax. By the time I got outside and threw a ball for Luke, I realized he had already gotten his other ball down. So now that he had two, he was carrying them both around in his mouth! He's so funny! He would bring them both over for me to throw for him. Maycie was busy wandering around the yard. She was sniffing and checking things out by the shed, then in the garden, then over by a hole in the fence. This afternoon I let the pups go potty quick, then brought them back in for lunch. The rain had stopped, so the dogs didn't get too dirty outside while they played. This time Maycie was racing around with Luke as he ran to fetch his ball. She even stole it one time! She was having fun chasing after him for awhile. Then later, she did some more exploring while he played. I got them each a carrot treat and said my goodbyes. I will miss them!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Tyson and Morgan were both in the entry way, ready to say hi as I came in. Toby was sprawled out in bed and rolled onto his back for his tummy rub when he saw me. It was pouring rain out this morning, so we didn't get to go for our walk. The water was all the way up to the mailbox and by the next house it was running across the ditch into the road! Needless to say, Toby didn't spend a long time outside to go potty. He came in and ate breakfast, then we got to play time! He dug around in his basket and kept bringing out different toys for us to play fetch and tug of war with. By this afternoon the rain had stopped. It was quite windy out, but just fine to get a nice long walk in. When we got back, Tyson was patiently waiting for me on the kitchen counter to turn his sink on. After I got his water for him, Toby and I went outside for a little bit. We came back in and Morgan was ready for some attention next! This evening it still hadn't started raining yet, so we quickly got on our way to hopefully get our full walk in. The dark clouds were rolling in, but we got to take our usual long walk. Tyson got his water again, while Morgan was busy pawing at the couch. I took Toby outside to play for a bit. But, we came right back in as soon as the June bugs were flocking to the patio! Yuck! Back inside, I pet Morgan for a little bit and got Toby his treat before it was time to go.

Bailey

This morning when I came to see Bailey it was just pouring rain! The backyard was already collecting standing water. Poor miss Bailey didn't want to go out in that! I don't blame her. She hopped off the patio once then went right back on and headed to the door, expecting a treat. I waited with her while she attempted to go out again a couple more times. Finally she braved the pouring rain and quickly did her business. I brought Bailey back inside for her breakfast, and of course a treat! She worked on her rawhide next to me. Then, she hopped up in her chair and rolled around a bit, being silly again. This evening the rain had been done for awhile when I came. It was pretty windy out, but actually quite nice. After Bailey finished her dinner, she and I sat outside on the patio for quite awhile. Later she came in and got her rawhide.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today all three little ones zoomed out the back door. Roxy found a toy right away for us to play fetch with. Dilly hopped up on my lap for awhile and watched Roxy having fun! Roxy got to play fetch by herself for quite awhile. Biscuit was off exploring in the yard, keeping himself busy. I put the girls in their room and Biscuit in the kitchen when it was Bert's time to come out. She did some exploring herself. Then, she came to snuggle me. I think she knew it was my last visit. When I got up to go inside, she stood on her back legs and kept giving me hugs like, "No, please don't go!"  That made me sad, but I was happy to see them one last time and say my goodbyes. I sure will miss them!

Bailey

Tonight there were two rainbows outside when I came to see Bailey! I let her outside for a little bit. It was sprinkling out, so she did her business, then came back by me on the patio. We headed inside and she danced around, ready for dinner. After she polished off her bowl, she ran back to the kitchen and sang her "howrooroo" at me for a treat. I got her one, which she took to her chair to work on. When she finished she was being goofy and rolled around in the chair! We headed outside again later and she ran around in the rain a little. We came in again and I got her a couple more treats before I left.

Luke & Maycie

This afternoon I let Luke and Maycie out to play. Luckily the storms hadn't arrived yet, and it was pretty nice out. Luke wanted his ball right away, so I got it down for him. He didn't want to give it up at first, but eventually he wanted to play some fetch. One time I threw it and he didn't see where it went. It took him forever to find it! Maycie was busy exploring around the yard. Later, we headed in for them to eat their lunch. Once we got back outside, Luke played some more fetch. Maycie had found a big toad to play with! She kept chasing after it and barking at it. This evening it was raining out when I arrived. Luke got his ball and we started playing. Maycie disappeared in the darkness, exploring again. I saw her checking things out by the shed a few times. Luke decided to fake me out towards the end of our game of fetch. He'd drop the ball, "Here, ya go", then quickly grab it as I reached for it, "Haha! Gotcha!" They each got a carrot snack before I left. I checked on Spiketail too, and turned her light off for the night.
