Titus & Angel

This evening the pups were both bouncing up and down at the back door when I arrived. I went out and said hi to them, then we spent a bit longer outside. Angel went and got a ball for me and we started a game of fetch right away. I only had to step towards Titus a couple times before he took off racing laps around the yard. Angel dropped her ball to take a potty break and explore a little. I tried to throw the ball for Titus since she wasn't interested at the moment. He just looked at me like, "What?" I chased after him a bit instead and he went racing some more, with a hop, jump and a skip in his step. After playing outside for a bit, we then headed in for their dinner. I took off their collars and got them some food. I couldn't find Angel's bowl anywhere, so I took one that was stacked with Titus's. They each ate their dinner, then came over for back and neck scratches until it was time to go.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could see little miss Ninja peeking at me through the crack by the garage door. I headed in to let the little sleepyheads outside, then I opened the door for Ninja. She wanted to go inside instead. Sadie and Sassy came back in after a few minutes to eat their breakfast, and of course, say hi! Ninja was loving the attention while they were busy eating. When they finished, we all headed outside to enjoy the beautiful morning! Sadie went racing after birds flying overhead, and Sassy joined in by barking at them. Ninja hung out on the patio with us. Sadie had fun running laps around the yard, then occasionally stopping by me for some attention. This afternoon was gorgeous! Sassy seemed comfy sleeping on the couch when I got there, and had to be coaxed to come out with us. The girls did some exploring and relaxing in the grass. Later on, Ninja decided to show up. She walked around the patio by us. Sadie started trying to get Sassy to chase her. She zoomed circles around her, but was always just out of reach when Sassy would jump out from under the chairs. Sassy had more fun chasing after Ninja, since she kept coming by me for attention. This evening Ninja was in the driveway waiting for me. Sadie was doing her twirls at the door and Sassy was bouncing right along with her. They went out while I got Ninja set up for the night. It was another nice evening, so we spent some time outside. Sadie made sure to chase after any birds that were sitting in the yard. She would always take a break for a few back scratches and to give me a couple kisses. We headed in just in time, as I saw the neighbor out in her yard. I said goodnight with a few more belly rubs.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could tell the girls were sleeping. As soon as I unlocked the door, they both came running! I let them out right away, then went to crack open the garage for Ninja. No babies yet! It was chilly out this morning, but the sun was shining. The girls wandered around a bit, then came in to say hi. I got everyone their breakfast and some fresh water. I sat in the kitchen while Sadie and Sassy worked on their breakfast. Ninja even joined in at the water bowl! Later, Sadie enjoyed her attention time. She gave me lots of kisses! Sassy was being silly this morning, bouncing around and rubbing her face on the floor. The ladies wanted to go outside again after awhile. Sadie took off and chased after her birds for a bit. This afternoon a wiggly Sadie was already waiting at the door fo me! It was starting to get pretty nice out this afternoon. I let the girls outside while I cleaned Ninja's box and fed the fishies. This was the first time miss Ninja wasn't there to see me. I couldn't help but wonder if she was off somewhere having her babies. I listened and peeked around in the garage a little but didn't see her anywhere. I sat outside with the girls for awhile this afternoon. Sadie had found a nice spot in the grass to curl up. Sassy was busy exploring about the yard. When we came in they decided to nibble on some food. This evening I saw miss Ninja under the garage door as I pulled up. She came trotting out when she saw my car. Ninja still had her big baby belly! She followed along with me to find the girls already at the door. I let them out to do their business, and Ninja snuck inside and laid on the tile. She enjoyed some attention until the girls came back inside. I got Ninja her canned food and closed the door for the evening. When I finished, the girls and I sat outside for a little bit, since it was still pretty nice out. Sadie chased after the birds and a couple bugs. Sassy ran around to the side of the house and let out a couple barks, just because! We headed inside for a treat and a few more pets before bed.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I was met at the door by a very happy Sadie! I stepped inside and she started crying with so much excitement! Sassy came from the bedroom to say hi. Just as I closed the door, Ninja came running up and peered through the window. I let the ladies outside to do their business. Sadie was super fast and back to the door to get some attention. Sassy soon returned as well, and Ninja snuck in when I opened the door. Sadie wouldn't let me stop petting her for even a second. She would paw at me for more! When it was time I sent Ninja back outside and told the girls I'd be back later. This afternoon both Sadie and Sassy were right there to say hi. I no more than shut the door, and Ninja had returned as well! I let the girls out again, and this time they spent a little longer outside. Sadie came in and was loving me up! I noticed it was taking Sassy awhile to come back, so I went to look for her. Not seeing her in the yard,  I had a feeling I knew where she was. Sure enough! She was in the garage nibbling on the canned cat food. I sent her inside and made sure to put the food up next time they went out. The girls got a couple treats today and Sadie did her little twirl for me. Later, she had a little crazy spurt and went racing laps around the living room! She made me laugh. Ninja joined us inside for a little bit, and she and Sassy played for a couple minutes. This evening miss Ninja and Sadie were both already sitting on either side of the back door. Ninja wanted in and Sadie wanted me to come in! Haha! Sadie and Sassy spent a bit outside. When they came in, Sassy sat on the couch next to me and Sadie was happy getting her pets. She even enjoyed a long belly scratch. Later, Sassy wandered over to the food bowl. Sadie, of course, had to go then too. I had to tell her "no" a couple times, as I could see she was getting a little weary of Sassy nearing the bowl. Sadie took a mouthful of kibbles and ran quickly to the living room to drop them on the floor and eat them! Sassy did this next, but took hers to the kitchen floor behind the couch. They took turns doing this while Ninja and I watched. Finally, they got down to business and both ate out of the bowl together. Ninja took this time to get a little attention from me. I let the girls outside one last time before bed.

Titus & Angel

This morning the pups heard me coming, and were both at the door waiting for me. I got their collars put back on, then we headed outside. It was already so nice out this morning! They bounced around a little, then did their business. I gave them a few minutes and then we headed in for their breakfast. They were a little too excited to be interested in their food. Titus kept coming to me for a neck scratch. This morning it was his turn for a belly rub! When Angel wasn't laying on her bed, she was over by me for attention. Soon, they were wrestling around and messing with each other. So, we decided to head back outside to burn off some of that energy. I played some fetch with Angel until she got bored with it. Then, I chased around with Titus for a bit. Later we headed inside to try and get them to eat again. This time, they both settled down and laid by their bowls to eat. After they finished, I made sure they had plenty of water outside for the afternoon.

Titus & Angel

This evening the pups were both at the gate when I pulled up. I headed to the back door, but they were too busy still watching and barking at my car. I flipped the lock a few times, then they came running! They were both very excited to see me. I sat down and they both sat with me, happy to get a few pets. Next, I got Titus all riled up! We started playing and chasing around. He squatted down on his front legs, then took off running and racing laps around the yard! When he was getting tired out, it was Angel's turn. I got a couple of their toys and started a game of fetch. Titus would always race with her, but Angel was the one who always got the toy! Eventually, we headed in for their dinner. I made them sit at the door for me, then told them when it was ok. Such good puppies! I got them their food, then took off their collars so they could get comfortable. Titus laid right down by his bowl and started nibbling. Angel was much more interested in getting attention! She insisted that I keep on petting her, giving me those sad puppy eyes if i'd stop. Titus wandered over and got his neck scratched. He sure loved that! Angel enjoyed getting her belly rubbed, then finally settled down to eat her food.

Harvey & King

This morning King was bouncing right out of his kennel as soon as I opened the door! I quickly let him outside while I located Harvey. After I let him outside, I fed them their breakfast. Harvey sure wanted to eat King's food! I redirected him to his own bowl, then kept him busy while King finished. After breakfast it was playtime! King found a frisbee and kept bringing that to me to throw for him. He's very good at playing fetch already! Harvey stayed by me for some attention. Next, King picked up a pink squeaky toy and played a little tug with me, since he didn't want to give it up! Soon the boys were having fun wrestling around. They burned off some energy by running laps around the yard, then circling around and around the shed. King was leading the way. Harvey caught on after a couple laps around, then decided to be sneaky and head King off by running the other direction! They both were good boys and let me wipe their paws when it was time to head inside. I grabbed some treats for them and Harvey raced to his bedroom. He knows the routine! I gave him his treats, then went to put King in his bed.

Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon the girls were busy playing in the back yard and didn't hear me pull up. I came outside, then they came running to say hi. It was another beautiful day outside. We spent the first part of our visit out on the patio. The neighbor dog was outside too, so the girls went and visited with him. Sophie and Roxy took turns standing up by me for some attention. Roxie went and curled up by the edge of the patio, so I went to sit by her. Sophie had curled up with a bone to chew on in the warm sunshine. Later, they got some energy and started chasing each other around. They raced, then wrestled, and ended with kisses. We headed inside after awhile so they could eat. Sophie finished hers, while Roxy kept nibbling here and there. Then, they each snuggled up on either side of me for awhile. Before I left they got their treats and I fed the fish. We had fun!

Sophie & Roxie

This afternoon was gorgeous outside. The ladies were waiting for me at the gate, tails a-wagging. The neighbor dog came outside, so the girls said hi to it and raced along the fence. They took a minute to get to the back door to come in, but were excited as usual when they did. After a few bounces hello, they worked on their dinner right away again. Sophie was first to finish and came jumping into my lap. Roxie wasn't going to miss out on the action! She soon joined us and they hopped and rolled all over the place. Sophie laid across my lap and did her swimming. After all the excitement, they were two lazy puppies today! Roxie went to her recliner and laid on her back for a bit. Then she rolled over and rested her head on the arm to take a snooze. She even started snoring! Sophie was laying next to me getting her belly rubbed, then soon was sleeping too. Later they got up for treat time and headed back outside to enjoy the nice afternoon!

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

This afternoon the pups seemed surprised to see me! It has been a little while, so they took a minute to sniff at me when I opened the office door. Then, they raced to the back door to head outside. Bootsie met us on our way out. It was a nice morning outside today. Buck and Chloe ran off to go explore. Bootsie came and sat with me for some attention. Later, Chloe came to join us. She sat next to me, then Bootsie next to her. Chloe just sat and smelled the fresh air. Buck was off in the distance, playing with his toy. He saw me watching. As soon as I said his name, he came running over for his back scratches. Chloe was quite the snuggle bug today. She spent most of her time sitting up against me. Later, we headed inside for a little bit so they could eat and enjoy a snack. When they were done, we went right back out since it was so nice out. Bootsie made me laugh when I saw him chasing a big bug that was flying overhead. Before I left I gave the pups their other snack.
