Sierra & Koko

Koko & Sierra were happy to see me! They said hi to me for awhile before they ran into the kitchen. I got their food ready and Sierra just ate the chicken pieces off her food while I cleaned up their potty pads. While I was doing that, Sierra came and said hi. She wagged her tail and was ready to play. Koko came in when she was finished eating and stood up on my leg while I pet her. They both darted into the kitchen when I was finished cleaning up and stared at the cupboards! We played with their lighty for a bit before I had to go.

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were anxious to get going today! I put Benny's food up before I let Kota out. I saw the new harness in the closet so I tried that out with Kota. It took a little bit for me to get it on her, she's so wiggly! It worked pretty nicely for me. She did get tangled in the leash a couple times but not too bad and she didn't seem to pull quite as much today. There were a lot of other people out walking their dogs, so Benny got excited any time he saw them. Kota went both on our walk today and it looked normal again. When we got home Kota ate a bunch of her food. I took her collar off again before she went back in her bed. Benny wanted to play fetch with me, so I tossed his ball for him a couple times before I left. I put his food back down for him too.

Dusty

Dusty was sitting in his window as I walked up this morning. We took our walk and he went both for me. People were out and getting back to their daily routines. Dusty would just stop and watch them walking by. After our walk we went back inside for Dusty's breakfast. I gave him his treat and he tried going through all his tricks! I rubbed his ears again for a little bit before I left, since he was itching them on the floor. Dusty did great! I know he will be happy to see you home today!

Dusty

This morning I came in and found Dusty's bed in the middle of the living room! He must have been having fun again while I was gone. He got all excited when I got there and tried to bring his doggie outside with us again. We went for a nice walk this morning in the courtyard by the pool. Then we went in and Dusty had his breakfast. It warmed up and was just a beautiful day out this afternoon! Dusty and I walked all over and enjoyed the nice summer-like weather. We passed a few kitties sitting in their windows. We even walked by one that was sitting outside on a ledge, just watching Dusty's every move! He didn't even notice... Between my afternoon and evening visits I had to take my pup out for a walk. We went over and saw Dusty sitting in his window like usual. Tonight was still very nice out. We walked around both the courtyards for quite awhile. We came back inside for his bedtime treats. I sat down and pet him for a little bit, and he jumped in my lap and started rubbing his face all over my legs! I started rubbing his ears for him and he just loved that!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! The sun feels nice!

Dusty

This morning was very foggy out. Dusty was barking at the door, ready to go. We walked around the courtyard by the pool a few times, then headed in for his breakfast and morning treat. After he ate he put his head on the ground again and ran, or I should say slid, around. It's just the funniest thing! The fog cleared out by this afternoon and it was just beautiful outside! He was sitting in his window again today, watching intently. He picked up his little dog toy when I came in and was prancing around with it. He wanted to bring it outside with us today! Dusty and I walked all over the two courtyards and just soaked up the sun. Dusty really seemed to enjoy the nice weather. I noticed he had knocked some pillows off a chair when we went back inside for his treats, so I put them back. I guess someone was having fun today! Tonight he was eager to get outside again. It got chilly again this evening so we went back in a few minutes earlier to play a bit. He was so excited for his treat tonight that he started running through all his tricks without me even saying anything!

Dusty

This morning it was raining when I came to see Dusty. I took him out and we ended up walking for a little bit, since I was waiting for him to finish going potty. It was raining light enough that he didn't seem to mind at all. After he finished we headed back inside to play for awhile. I gave him his treat and fed him breakfast. Then we played with his little stuffed doggie. This afternoon it had stopped raining when I came to let him out. As I walked up I saw him just sitting on his little perch in the window. He didn't jump down until I opened the garage. We walked around the courtyards for the majority of my visit since we didn't get to much this morning. He did his business and sniffed around, checking things out. When we got back inside, I let him off leash and he just started tearing around the living room! I guess he still had a little energy left! Tonight was very foggy, but no rain. We walked around for the whole visit. Dusty met a new little friend named Willie. I know Willie and he is a friend of my puppy too! They were very cute dancing around and smelling each other. After that we went back inside and Dusty got his last treats for the night.

Dusty

Dusty was really ready to go out early this morning! I quick grabbed his leash and then we went for a walk. It was very foggy out this morning, but comfortable out. So we strolled around both courtyards for most of the visit. When we got back I gave him his half of pupperoni treat after he showed me a few tricks. I got his food ready for him before I left. This afternoon it was a bit drizzly outside, so we didn't walk quite as long as usual. So, we went back inside to play a little bit instead. We tried the pigs-in-a-blanket treat. I split it in half so he still got 2 treats. I asked Dusty where his toys were and he ran and pulled them out and tossed them around! Tonight, as I walked up I saw Dusty sitting in the window. As soon as he saw me, he jumped down and headed for the door before I ever opened the garage! When I opened the door he was jumping up and down excitedly. I went up and grabbed his leash, and he followed me down carrying his little dog toy! We walked a lot longer tonight since it stopped drizzling out. We mostly stayed over by the pool tonight since the other courtyard was busy with all kinds of dogs. After he did his business and was finished checking things out, we headed back inside for a bit. He got his treats and we played a little too. After he got his treats he started rubbing his head on the floor and running around in circles! The hair on his ears stood straight up, so funny! Before I left tonight he crawled into my lap and gave me a couple kisses! He seems to be warming up more and more every time I see him.

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were ready to go when I got there today! I put Benny's food up before I let Kota out, then we went on our way. When I was getting their leashes down, Benny came running up with his little pink ball in his mouth. Shortly after we got going, I looked away for a second at the dogs barking in the backyard we were passing. When I looked back, I saw Kota with a big chunk of feathers in her mouth!! I hurried and got it away from her... there must have been part of a bird lying on the ground that she picked up. Yuck! Kota and Benny went both on our walk today. Kota's stool seemed a lot more solid than the last time I saw. The ground and everything else was all wet today, so the puppies got very dirty! When we got back I rubbed them down good with the towel. I put Benny's food back down before I left today. Neither one munched on their food while I was there, but they sure were thirsty when we got back!

Dusty

Dusty did great today! I came to take him for his walk this afternoon. He heard the garage door opening and met me at the door. I asked if he was ready to go for a walk and he got excited and started dancing around! We took a nice long walk this afternoon in the courtyard by the pool. He went potty right away for me, then spent the rest of the time exploring. After we made our way around, we headed to the other courtyard to walk some more. We didn't get too far since he was very busy sniffing around. We went back home and I gave him his little treats. I had him do some of his tricks for me and he got them all right the first time, except for play dead. He just didn't want to lay on his side. I gave him one of the dental treats and had him try again and this time he got it! He chewed on that while I left and just watched me from the top of the stairs. Tonight when I came, he didn't meet me at the door. As soon as he saw me he started running down and jumping around excitedly! I took him out to go potty and we decided to take a walk again, since it was still pretty nice out. He got his yummy treats when we got back. I grabbed his toys and tried to get him to play, but he didn't seem to interested. I put them back, then a couple minutes later he grabbed them out! I pet him for a little while before it was time to go.

Dakota & Benny

Dakota & Benny were both very excited today. Benny had an accident before I got there, so I cleaned that up before I left. Kota was sure ready to get walking! She pulled so hard when we started that she was making herself have raspy breathing. She calmed down a little after we were gone for awhile. We had a very nice walk today, since it's finally starting to warm up! Kota got a little dirty from the yards that were muddy from the snow melting. When we got back I wiped them both down. Kota ate a bit of food while I filled the water bowls. After I put her in her cage, I put Benny's food down so he could eat a little too.
