This evening the girls started barking when they saw me come in. I let Katie out first and she zoomed around the yard, then did her business. She roamed around while I cleaned up. Then, she came and sat for me to clean her eye up for her before it was time for dinner. Sage came out for her turn next. She was so excited! She raced around and made sure to get her Kong right away. She kept tossing it to me while I was cleaning out her side. I told her she had to wait just a couple more minutes, so she went to go visit the neighbor dogs. We got some fetch time in before it was her turn for dinner.

Rusty & Ruby
This afternoon I saw Rusty was lounging on the couch. He sat up just enough to see who came in. I let Ruby out, then they followed me outside. Ruby went right out and stretched out across the grass. She had fun rolling around, then relaxed awhile. Rusty did the exact same thing next to her, after she was done. Haha. Rusty wandered around for a bit after that, then headed in. Ruby was on her way to do the same, until I called for her, since she hadn't done her business. She peed, but then she kept laying down and rolling in the grass when I would tell her she needed to go potty. Finally, after a little bit she did. She went in, then I got them some fresh water as they lounged.
Shadow
This morning Shadow came strolling in the kitchen to see me. He followed me all over this morning. We went to the pantry to get out his treats, then he sat and waited for me to scoop his box. When we got to our spot, he climbed in my lap for awhile. He put his front paws on my shoulders and nuzzled his face on my chin. Such a sweetie. After a little bit, he went to snack. When he returned, he hopped up behind my head and sat on my shoulder, then groomed a bit. This evening I had Shadow's food ready before he got into the kitchen to see me. He brushed up against my leg to let me know he was there. I gave him a few pets, then he went to eat while I took care of the other things. I went and sat in the living room and he came to sit in my lap. He sat there almost the whole time tonight! Shadow just purred away while I pet him. When he had his fill of pets, he was ready to play! He rolled around on the floor and swatted at his feather toy.
Eddie & Butler
This afternoon the boys ran out right away after I let them out of their beds. Butler went out and laid in the grass awhile. Eddie was busy exploring along the fence. They took a break to run over and say hi to me, then went to lay on the patio. Butler went inside after awhile and would keep poking his head out the door to make sure he wasn't missing anything! Haha. Eddie would go in to get a drink and would share his slobbers with me. Silly boy. When it was time to go in, they were both good about going in their beds today.
Oscar
This afternoon I walked in and was surprised not to see my buddy at the door. I started calling for him, and didn't see him on the couch either. I was beginning to wonder if he was even home! By the time I got close to the back door I heard a scrambling noise and Oscar appeared! He must have been napping. Haha! We said hi, then headed outside. Oscar was wandering back and forth and all over the yard today, checking out noises. He went to the door when he was hot and ready to go inside. We spent awhile playing tug and wrestling around until it was time to go.

Susie & Frank Fritz
This evening I opened the door and Frank was right there to say hi! Susie was up, but hanging back so she didn't get trampled by little brother. Haha. Frank came inside with me to get their dinner ready. They both polished off their bowls, while I watered the plants and got them some fresh water. When Frank was done he came over for some attention. He was being silly and stood up on the stool to put his paws on the railing and got a better view of the yard. Susie wandered over for some pets as well. Frank kind of nudged her out of the way though. He's a little attention hog! Haha. He came in with me again when I went to get them their snacks.
Rusty & Ruby
This afternoon I let Ruby out and she ran to the back door. Rusty was just getting up from his nap in his chair. We headed outside right away. Ruby did a big stretch, then hung out on the patio for awhile. When I saw her trying to go in, I called her to come out to the grass with me. Rusty had gone to the grass to roll around already. He then was busy sniffing around the yard for awhile. Ruby peed for me, but then she decided to sunbathe. I saw Rusty was being curious and tried crawling under the patio, so I called for him to come back out. Silly pups today! Ruby didn't finish her business, so I had to put her back in her bed when it was time to go.
Winston
Today I let Winston out and got him ready for our walk. He did his business, then we wandered around for awhile. He saw a cheetos bag on the ground and made a beeline to go check it out. I didn't let him get close enough to get to it, but he sure wanted to go! Haha. As we were heading back, he noticed his Corgi friend was out and he exchanged some words. :) Once we got back, Winston got into play mode. He ran up and pushed off my legs and raced around. Then, he grabbed one of his toys to play some tug. We went through a few of his toys today to play with until it was time.
Eddie & Butler
This afternoon the boys went outside after I let them out and Butler got his medicine. They wandered around and explored awhile today. Eddie found a tennis ball and was carrying it around. They did their sunbathing, then wandered in when they got hot. They had fun playing around again today. Butler rolled around on the couch and Eddie came to nibble on his ears. Haha! Butler did a better job about going to his bed for me today. He still ran around a little, but went in quicker.
Oscar
Today Oscar said hi, then we wandered outside. He did a lot of exploring today. He was just moseying around, checking things out. When he got too warm, he told me he was ready to go in. We had some time to play tug with his little squirrel toy. I think he was still hot from being outside. He didn't want to play real long and just wanted to lounge on his ottoman. He did do his tricks of course!
