Dakota & Benny

This afternoon we took another nice long walk! Benny ran his laps around the living room when I came in, and Kota was talking to me as I got their leashes on. They were happily trotting along, stopping now and again to smell things. Kota chased after a few grasshoppers and was trying to pick up everything she saw today. She got a straw wrapper stuck on her nose for a little bit. haha! Benny was getting excited at his usual doggy friend's houses. When we got back they were both tired. Benny's hot spot wasn't bothering him at all on our walk today, so that's good!
Follow the leader... or just trying to stay in the shade?

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was in his usual spot. There was a little black and white kitty in the backyard today! It was up by the patio, over by some of the flowers. As soon as I turned on the hose the little guy took off. Jerrie made his way down to see me again today after I finished taking care of my duties. He got brushed and pet for a long time. He scratched his chin on the brush again while I pet him. Today he was even rolling around on it! When I got up to leave, Jerrie started meowing at me and giving me his sad face, so I said 'Ok' and pet him a little longer. He sure knows how to do that well!

Flax

Flax was happy to see me when I got in this morning. He immediately came up to me with his tail wagging! We went outside right away and spent most of the visit walking around out in the back yard. After he went potty and we walked around awhile, he decided it was time to go back in. I got him some food and fresh water. We went outside again after he ate and drank to sit out on the back patio, while he got a bunch of attention. He was giving me lots of kisses today! We walked around a bit more before I left so he could go potty one more time. This afternoon I met the groomer out at the house. I let Flax outside, then he saw the truck, turned right around and headed for the back of the house! She told me that's what Flax does every time she comes. Silly boy! After he was finished I came back to let him inside again. He smells so nice and clean! I gave him a couple extra treats for being such a good boy. Tonight Flax only wanted to take a short walk around outside. He stood and watched me walk around for awhile, then he decided he was going back in! haha! He went to lay on his bed out in the patio, so I sat with him and pet him. We went inside so he could have some supper. Once he was finished he came and stood by me to get his back scratched. I got his little leg going like crazy, getting all his good itchy spots! He even would even turn around so I'd get the other side for him. "Ok, now this side!"
