Caleb

This morning I let Caleb go potty real quick before I fed him his breakfast. He's so cute the way he prances around with his toy on the way out! He made sure to bring his orange puzzle toy with him. As soon as he finished he breakfast, he looked up on the counter at his leash and collar. He was ready for his morning walk! He danced around some more and got so excited when I picked it up. We went for a nice long walk this morning. He was pretty tired when we got home, but he still wanted to play! He wasn't as quick as he usually is, so I was able to get his squeaker from him more! We went to sit outside since it was so nice out. I was going to brush him, but he was too busy playing and having fun with his puzzle toy. He roamed around for awhile after that before we went back inside. I put a treat in one of his other toys and we played "keep away"!

Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy

This morning after everyone finished their breakfast, they all chased around the yard together. There were a couple of what sounded like Beagles, behind the fence crying and howling. Rudy sure didn't like that and barked along with them! I found the log in Rudy's kennel so I brought that outside for them to play with. I threw it for them once and after Ralphi got it, that was the last of that! He sat and gnawed on it, and once in awhile had the other two chasing him around. Roxie snuck it away from him while he got a drink of water! After he got it back from her, she came over by me and tried to catch flies for awhile!

Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy

This afternoon I let everyone outside in the backyard to go potty when I got there. I gave them some nice cool water and boy were they thirsty! I brought their leashes out back to get them all hooked up. They were all pretty excited! Rudy could barely hold still for me to get his collar on him! We walked until the little ones started to get too warm, then headed back home. I gave them more cool water and Rudy was lovin that up. He stuck his whole face in, then one paw... I think he wanted to go swimming! They spent a little time cooling off in the house before I gave them their treats and put them to bed. This evening they were happy to get outside again. They all were running around the yard like crazy! I left the light off to try and keep the bugs away and every now and then would see a flash of one of them zooming past me! Someone was lighting off fireworks in the distance and they all started barking at the sound. Rudy had a blast rolling around in the grass a couple times! They'd all come by me for some attention, then all three would zoom off together either chasing each other or some unusual noise they'd hear!

Caleb

Caleb was so excited to go for his walk after breakfast! He couldn't sit still long enough for me to get his collar on! We went for a nice long walk again this morning. There were lots of dogs out today in their backyards. They all had to bark to say hi to Caleb! Once we got home, he was pretty pooped out. I tossed his squeaker toy for him a few times. He was too tired to even want to play! He only walked over to get it a couple times, then gave up completely. He laid down by me to get pet for a little bit before we went to sit outside. I brushed him for a long time out there. I set the brush down to get his cable all untangled for him. He picked it up and brought it over to me, "Can you brush me some more please?". He sat so well and even laid down for a bit while he got brushed. When we went in I filled a couple of his puzzle toys with treats for him to play with. When he got frustrated with one, he would switch to a different one!

Maggie & Moe

The girls and I went to play outside right away when I got there. Miss Moe went in the grass and laid down to soak up some sun! Maggie played around with a rawhide she brought out. They both took a little dip in their pool then rolled around on the grass. Maggie found a worm! She was carrying it around for a little bit. I saw the bubble tube on the table, so I had the girls chasing some bubbles around! They laid in the shade on the patio for a few minutes before we went back inside so they could cool off. Miss Moe gave me all kinds of kisses! Magge wandered off into her room, so Moe and I went in by her. They both rolled over and got their tummies rubbed.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Toby and I went for a nice long walk again! The sun was still just coming up, so it was cooler and breezy out. He was sleeping on top of the back of the couch with Morgan when I came in. He wanted to play while I tried to get his collar on! He squatted down on the ground and ran around when I'd get close. When we got back home, the kitties were standing behind the couch again, watching us come in. Morgan was very snuggly today! This afternoon it was pretty hot out, so Toby just played in the backyard for awhile. Tyson seemed to want to go outside too! I had to block him from making his way to the door. I could see the neighbor dogs through the wooden fence. They wanted to play with Toby! They kept following him around along the fence. Toby started to get warm out and wanted to go back inside. We chased each other around for a little bit. Tyson and Morgan both came close to get pet, but Toby would chase them away! Later he just wanted to snuggle on the couch and get his belly rubbed.

Caleb

This morning I fed Caleb his breakfast right after he went out potty. As soon as he was finished, we went for a nice long walk throughout the neighborhood. It was very nice out and not too hot yet, as the sun was still rising. Caleb stopped every now and again to smell something. He walked just excellent for me! When we got back home, we played fetch a little bit with his green squeaker. He got brushed outside for a little while this morning too! He sure liked that and sat so nicely for me. I uncovered his kennel before I left so he could watch out the window. This afternoon it was super hot out! I let him go outside in the backyard to do his business. He brought out his orange puzzle toy, but he sure didn't want to stay out very long! I got him some more fresh water when we came in and gave him a couple ice cubes to cool down. We chased around the house and played tug of war with his squeaker toy for a long time. He's so smart! He knows that if he walks around behind me in the opposite direction that my arm can bend, I let go! haha! I grabbed a couple of his puzzle toys and put treats in them for him to play with too. When he got tired, he rolled over by me to get his tummy rubbed.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Toby heard me walking up to the door today and barked until he heard my voice. Then he was happy to see me and jumped up to say hi! He was missing mom and dad this afternoon... he kept crying. I let him outside but he wasn't interested, so we went back in. I looked around for Morgan and Tyson, and found Morgan sleeping in the recliner in the kitty room. He started to meow and came out right away. We went back in the living room and Tyson was sitting there, waiting! After I said hi to him, he hopped up on the counter by his food and made himself comfortable. Toby and I chased each other around for awhile. He can run so fast! After that he was ready to play outside, so we hung out there until he got too warm. Inside he snuggled up with me on the couch while he kept watching the door and listening. There were shadows coming in from the window above the door onto the ceiling and he got excited everytime he saw one move! Morgan was a little cranky this afternoon and was hissing at Tyson and Toby when they'd get in his space! Tonight Toby and I went for a nice long walk after the sun had gone down. It was a beautiful night with a nice breeze. Toby stopped every now and then to check something out. When we got back the kitties were waiting for us. Morgan and Tyson were both wanting their attention too! Toby went out in the backyard to play for awhile.

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny both had a little energy this afternoon! As soon as Kota was out of her cage, she was leaping from chair to chair in the living room while Benny was running his laps. I let them go potty quick out back before we took a nice walk to wear them out a little! Benny made sure Kota was galloping along as we got started with Benny along side her doing the same and barking. When we got back they both laid down on the cool floor by me to cool off. I tossed Benny's ball for him a few times and they both got their back scratched!

Caleb

Today I came in and Caleb sat straight up and watched me. I let him out and we went outside for a little bit. He grabbed a blue squeaky toy to bring with him! I tossed it for him a couple times out there, then he wanted back in. He didn't try to eat anything while I was there today! I grabbed out his orange puzzle toy and put some more treats in there. He played with that for a little bit, then we found a green squeaker to have fun with! I threw that around and he played "keep-away" from me with it. Sometimes he'd let me grab ahold of it, so that we could play tug-of-war. He really does slide right into the wall! He got going to quick on that tile floor once and just couldn't stop himself in time... oops! He would lay down and set the toy down to take a breather, but he kept his tongue on it the whole time, just in case! I got him pretty tired out this afternoon. He came and laid by me and put his head on my lap while I gave him a good tummy rub. One time, he even flopped his whole body across my lap! He's so funny!
