Gracie & Charlie

Charlie had a lot of energy this morning! He was ready to get outside. After I let them out, Gracie bolted for the bedroom down the hall. I checked on her to see what she was up to. She was all cuddled on a pillow with just the saddest look on her face. She misses mom and dad! I think she'll do better once she gets used to me a little more. Almost all of the pets I watch get really excited when I come in after they get to know me! I let Charlie out I gave her a couple treats and tried to get her to go outside. She didn't feel like it, so I went out and spent some time with Charlie. He started crying when I got out there and ran over to the fence. He tossed his ball over into the neighbor's yard! He started trying to dig his way over there, so I quick hopped over and got it for him. There was a red frisbee with a dog bone on it too, hope that was his! He was playing around again with his ball, tossing and kicking it around. Then he'd play with the frisbee for a little bit. He even tried to get both toys into his mouth at the same time! I went back in to check on Gracie, and she had moved back onto her chair. I put her food dish by her again and she did eat for me a little bit. Charlie didn't finish all of his food, so I put it back in the cupboard. I gave them another treat before I left and told them mom and dad will be home this evening!

Trying to fit both toys in his mouth...

Dakota & Benny

I let Kota and Benny outside right away when I came this evening. Kota didn't want to come inside at first. She was busy watching some people outside across the street. I called her and she came leaping over to me, giving me her "woo woo". I gave Benny his meds and fed Kota. She made a big mess of her food! Benny and I played fetch with his blue ball while Kota finished eating. She started tossing around a kibble of food again! Then she ate it. She's so funny! She grabbed out her rawhide and made herself comfy. Benny kept rolling his ball to me with his nose, but if I would try to grab it when he was standing by it, he would grab it and take off! He started cleaning up Kota's food on the floor after I put her to bed for the night. You can tell she was picking through her food by all the pieces on the floor in the pic. haha!

It wasn't me...

Gracie & Charlie

The mailbox was open just like you said, so I brought the mail in and shut it tightly. I let Gracie and Charlie out as soon as I came in this afternoon and this evening. Gracie ran right past me and laid on the chair in the front room. Charlie ran circles around me while I walked to the back door to let him out. Gracie didn't want to leave the chair, and just looked out the window. I think she misses mom and dad! I went out to play with Charlie for awhile. He was pretty good, only jumped up a couple times when I first came out. He started running around with his big purple ball and would take little breaks to nibble on his food. He started kicking it around like he was playing soccer! It was pretty entertaining to watch. Sometimes he would bring it over to me and drop it at my feet, so I'd toss it across the yard for him. Gracie didn't really eat anything today. I brought her dish over to her and she looked at it for a little bit, but still didn't want to. I think she's still a little nervous around me yet, but she's slowly warming up. She did go right to bed for me tonight! I had to bribe her earlier to go in. She will be happy to see you back home tomorrow!

Koko & Sierra

The girls were bouncing up and down by the gate when I came in each time today! Sierra ate all her food right away this morning. Koko likes to race me to her bowl when I go grab it to get their food ready. Then when I'm bringing it back, she is waiting for me, bouncing up and down. This afternoon I thought Sierra was going to eat all her food again... but she just ate the chicken. Then she was ready to play lighty! She came in by me while I changed their potty pads and started jumping around excitedly. I think she just gets too excited to eat when I'm there! It's always gone when I come back. I had the girls racing all over, trying to catch the evasive red light. Koko drags her little toys along with her and then sits and watches the light as she chews on her toy.

"It's right in... here!"

Koko & Sierra

I was happy to see the girls today and they were happy to see me too! I love Sierra's pretty new necklace!! I noticed it right away. I got their food ready and Sierra actually ate all her food right away tonight. I quick cleaned up their potty pads. Afterwards, I was saying hi to Koko while Sierra finished her food. Koko was busy smelling me. I had just gotten done meeting some new puppy dogs before I came over. When they were all finished we played with the lighty for a long time!

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Mattie was up and ready to go outside again this afternoon. I went to let everyone else out and Sugar was all bundled up in her blankies. She didn't feel like going outside. Mattie came back all full of mud so I wiped her paws down before she came inside. She had to lay down for me because she was having a hard time balancing on 3 legs. Buddy was all excited when he came in and went and stood next to the cupboard that has all their treats in it. He would look at me and cry a little, then would paw at the cupboard! It was very cute. I gave them all a rawhide to chew on before I left. Mattie really seemed to like hers! She held onto it for a minute then carried it over to a different spot and got comfy!

Benny

Benny was carrying around his little blue ball when I came in today. He wanted to bring it along for our walk again! Benny saw a couple kitties today and got really excited! One took off under a truck and when we came close it was nowhere to be found, but Benny was sure looking! We had the little chocolate lab puppy we saw yesterday come up to us today. Benny wasn't too happy about that. The puppy was just curious and wanted to play! Eventually the owner came out and called the puppy back home.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Mattie heard me coming this morning and started barking and greeted me at the door. Then she stood by the back door while I let the little ones out. It was raining this morning, so they didn't spend much time outside today. When they got back inside I gave them their meds and fed them their yummy breakfast! Mattie seems to be feeling pretty well so far today. She would go lay down and then spring back up as soon as I was doing something or petting someone! Usually she doesn't get up and down so much when I'm there. She just seemed to be in a really good mood too!

Morning strrrretch!

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

The little ones all went out this afternoon. Mattie didn't feel like going anywhere. Sugar came right back inside while the boys played in the yard. Jimmy was soaking up the sun again today! He was laying by the corner of the house to get out of the wind. The neighbor dogs were out and came up to the fence to check out what we were doing. I had the boys come back inside for a couple minutes before I left so they could eat and drink if they wanted. They all sure were thirsty!

Dakota & Benny

Dakota was very energetic today! She bunny-hopped for a good portion of our walk today. Then she would hang back for a minute and then run ahead as fast as she could! Everytime we walked past a garbage can, poor Benny would jump. A lot of them had their lids hanging open and it was pretty windy out, so they would slam against the can as we passed by. The sun started peeking out as we started our walk and stayed out the whole time, so that was nice! We passed a couple puppies playing outside today and Kota and Benny got so excited! Kota was pulling me backward because she wanted to go play with one of them. They were both pretty tired when we got back to the house today. Benny crashed on the floor and Kota went right in her bed.
