Duffy & Dory

Duffy and Dory were both very excited when I came in today! They both said hi for a long time and got belly rubs. I saw your note and decided to put their sweaters on because it's going to be chilly tonight with this freezing rain we're getting! I had to bribe Duffy with a treat to get hers on, because she took off and hid under the bed when it was her turn. She was good for me when I put it on her, but I don't think she was too happy with me after that! Dory was happy to spend some extra time with me. All she wanted to do was snuggle at first. Later she got her ball for me and we played fetch for awhile.

There was a note on the door from security when I came, that the patio door was open last night. I checked it right away as soon as I got inside. It was shut and locked up, so they must have taken care of it! The girls were fine and nothing looked out of place. Thank goodness!

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Everyone but Mattie went outside this afternoon. She was sleeping in the bedroom today. Usually I find her snoozin' just outside the bedroom door. It was really nice out when I came so we stayed outside for awhile. Sugar and Buddy wanted to go right back in. After a little bit, Buddy started searching and digging around the yard like usual. There was a note that he was a little wheezy this morning, but he didn't do anything while I was there. So that's good! Sugar didn't leave her spot by the door until I let them back in. Jimmy was out having a blast and didn't want to come back in with the other two. Buddy and Jimmy both munched on some food before they went back to bed. I gave them all a little treat before I left.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Everyone got to play outside this morning! It was pretty nice out when I came to see them, so we stayed outside while I was there for a little bit. Mattie looks so pretty with her cute purple bandana! I saw Mattie has another med, poor girlie! Sugar and Mattie wanted to go inside right away. Jimmy was happy to see me and was bouncing up and down. When we went in they nibbled on their food a little before I put them to bed. I found part of a phone cord inside Jimmy and Sugar's cage, so I put that on the counter. They are all doing fine this afternoon. :)

Dakota & Benny

The sun came out just in time for our walk today! There was a package on the porch that I brought inside. Kota didn't want me to put anyone's collars on today. She kept jumping up and pawing at my hands! We had a nice walk with the warm sun out. Kota didn't go both for me today or yesterday. But I've been keeping an eye on it, and when she does go it's been normal now since she's been on the new food. We passed a newspaper that was floating around in the street. Kota and Benny both perked their ears up and were very intrigued! Things were a lot more dried out today so I didn't have to wipe them off quite as much. When we got back, Benny started carrying his ball around. Then he decided he was hungry and grabbed a few kibbles from Kota's bowl. After I put her away I put his food bowl back down for him.

Dakota & Benny

Kota was all wet when I let her out of her cage today. She must have spilled her water! I got her harness and both their collars put on and off we went! Rollerblading sounds like fun! Kota must really enjoy that. Everything was pretty wet out today, so they both got dirty bellies. A beagle came up behind us and surprised Kota and Benny. Benny sure wasn't a happy camper! Kota was just curious and excited at the same time. The beagle didn't follow us for very long, so that was good. When we got back and got everyone all dried off, Benny started chasing Kota around. They ran circles around the living room. Kota ate a little bit when we got back. I grabbed the treat bag and they both got very excited, so I made them sit for me and gave them both one! I took both their collars off before I left, since I saw Benny didn't have his on today either.

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!
