Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

It just doesn't feel right without my Mattie girl!  :(  She will be very missed! I let the kiddos outside right away tonight. Buddy and Jimmy spent the whole time outside and Sugar went and hid in her cave after she went potty. Buddy was trying to find something over in the corner by the grill. He was searching so hard and crawling all over everything! Jimmy helped him search for awhile, then he went and did his own thing. Jimmy came zooming across the backyard from one side to the other. I don't think I've ever heard him bark like that before! He was barking like crazy at the front yard, so I peeked around the corner to see what it was. The only thing I could see was that a neighbor was outside. He ran back and forth from one side to the other. One time he was barking Buddy perked his ears up and he came charging to Jimmy's aide! Those boys are so silly, they just crack me up! I gave them their meds when we came inside. Buddy was crying at me, so I asked him what he wanted and he pawed at the fridge and the treat cupboard!

Koko & Sierra

Sierra finally ate her supper for me! I guess she worked up enough of an appetite with her tummy grumbling so much last night. I don't think she's used to having the potty box in their new room yet. While I was getting their breakfast ready, I noticed she came out of the bathroom so I checked to make sure. She went potty in the bedroom... so I cleaned it up and shut the door now. Sierra just ate the chicken pieces this morning, then wanted to play. She hadn't finished her breakfast by the time I came this evening. I got their supper ready and Koko was stretching herself using my leg to hold herself up. Sierra ate the chicken again, then was ready to play lighty. So, I told her no lighty tonight unless she finishes her supper for me! Guess what... she turned right around and did just that! Since she was such a good girl, we played lighty for awhile before it was time to go.

Strrrrrrretch!

Dakota & Benny

Benny had an accident before I got there today. I picked it up and put it in the toilet to flush... and afterwards I realized it isn't flushing! So that's why it's in there! lol I let Kota out and cleaned up the spot quick. She was wooing at me, licking my face and started playing with my hair! Benny was sure happy to go for a walk today. I realized right after I locked the door that I forgot my potty bag in the house so went back to grab it quickly, and Benny put the brakes on... "No I wanna go for a walk!". They did their little race at the beginning. Kota was a little bird hunter again today. She looked up at the birds flying over, and tried sneaking up on any she saw hopping around in the yards. Benny went potty again on the walk, so I think he'll be good till you get home! He got pretty tired out and laid flat on the floor when we got home.

Koko & Sierra

Sierra didn't eat her supper from last night, but she did eat the chicken pieces after I left. She was uninterested in her breakfast again and was waiting for me to get the laser out. I moved their potty pads into their new room, and they were following me. They just looked at me like, "Hey what's going on?". Then they both bolted into the kitchen. They knew what time it was! Sierra didn't eat her breakfast from this morning. Hopefully she has an appetite soon! I said hi to the girls for awhile then got their supper ready. Koko was hopping up in my lap and snuggling with me and Sierra was sniffing at my face and dancing around excitedly. She still has lots of energy even though she hasn't ate much! Her tummy was grumbling and Koko would get startled and look around like, "What was that?!". It was pretty funny! We played lighty for a bit before it was time to go.

Lily & Grace

Lily and Grace were both staring in through the screen door, jumping up and down this morning! Lily ate her breakfast while Grace got some attention. Lily watched Grace eat hers, and every now and then would push her bowl around. I gave Grace her allergy pills this morning, and I could tell that she was itchy today. Grace dropped a piece underneath her, so Lily went between Grace's back legs and pushed her up in the air a little to get it! After breakfast they got their morning treats. Their coats were pretty wet this morning, but I brushed them anyways. They were happy about that! I got twice as much hair out of Lily as I did Grace. Lily sat at my side and if I stopped petting her to give Grace some attention, she would put her paw up on my arm, just to let me know she was still there! They gave me those sad faces again when I left, but I told them mom would be home later!

Koko & Sierra

The girls were happy to see me! Miss Sierra didn't eat her breakfast. I bet she's nervous with all the stuff going on right now. I got their supper ready, and Koko ate right away. Sierra was already staring at the drawer, so she didn't have interest in hers. I put her bowl back in the room for her to eat later. The girls said hi to me for a little bit, then we played lighty in the living room. Sierra had quite a bit of energy and was running and pouncing on the light! Koko ran circles around the living room carrying a toy like usual.

Lily & Grace

This morning the girls were both waiting by the back door for me. I fed them their breakfast, gave Grace her allergy pills and gave them their yummy treats! They both smelled me and discovered that I had their treats in my pocket for after they ate! I brushed Lily while Grace ate her breakfast. Grace was too busy saying hi to me again. Grace got her turn after she was finished and really seemed to like it. She stood very still for me, and would turn so I could get the other side! Lily rolled over right away and was too wiggly and excited for me to brush her much. They both pushed each other to get my attention, "Now brush me!". Lily and Grace were waiting for me again this evening. Lily inhaled her supper and stared at Grace eating, wanting to help her out! They both followed me around the yard while I picked up. I brushed them a lot longer tonight. They were pretty mellow tonight. I think the weather makes them a little sleepy just like it does for me. Lily stood for me and let me brush her for quite awhile. Grace laid down and relaxed until it was her turn. She was smelling the air a lot.  As I was leaving, they both stood and looked in through the screen door, giving me those sad puppy dog faces!

Lily & Grace

I could hear the girls in the garage while I was getting their food ready. I had a little trouble with the backdoor this time, but eventually got it! The girls were very excited when I came outside. Grace was too busy saying hi to eat her food, so Lily almost got it! When they were both finished with supper, they said hi some more and got good back scratches. While I picked up the yard I saw a tennis ball, so I threw that for them a couple times. They sure liked that! Lily and Grace ran around the backyard in circles. Lily had the ball most of the time, so Grace chased after her. She got tired and came to lay by me for a bit. They gave me lots and lots of kisses!

Maggie & Moe

The girls met me at the door this afternoon and started jumping up to say hi! We went outside right away. Miss Moe took a stroll through the little kiddie pool out back. They chased each other around for awhile in between running up to me to give me kisses! After running around, they laid out in the sun for a little bit. Maggie went out by the pool and rolled around in the grass, so Moe ran and tackled her! Maggie came to say hi to me, then Moe rolled around and Maggie did the same! They're so funny, they just crack me up! Maggie and Moe took turns taking a dip in the pool, then they both rolled around together. They came and laid in the shade by me for awhile before we went inside. Maggie didn't want to come in right away, too nice out!

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Mattie seemed to be in a better mood this morning. I got her up and outside to go potty and she was getting around pretty well on her own out there. She was a little nervous to come back over the door step, but she did it ok without slipping. I gave Buddy and Jimmy their meds and I did give Buddy his Temaril P. Buddy did great this morning and didn't have any coughing. I got Mattie's meds ready, but she didn't want to take them in the cheese. I mixed them into her treat food, but she turned her nose up, got up and laid somewhere else every time I moved the bowl by her. I tried turkey, treats, and even just pilling her. I was only able to get the Deramaxx down. She didn't even want any treats today, her poor tummy! I let the little ones eat the treat food since they were all surrounding the bowl and barking! They are spending the morning outside since it's so nice out!
