Tyler, Emma, Lacey & Luke

Today was like deja-vu from the last time I saw them! I let the dogs out and Tyler grabbed his ball again and Emma went and laid in the exact same spot as last time. Luke was sitting, peering into the back door again except after I had already let Lacey out. Lacey sat on the patio and soaked up a little sun before going potty. I got all of their lunched ready while Tyler and Emma were outside. After they ate, Emma, Tyler and I sat in the living room. Lacey was acting a little shy today, a lot more than usual, but I think it was because of all the noise from the machinery and construction going on outside the front of the house. I went to check on her and she was all curled up by the clothes on the bed. Tyler, Emma and Luke all snuggled up to me to get their attention.

Dakota & Benny

Today I took Kota and Benny for a shorter walk since it was very hot out again. When we got back home they got to play out in the backyard for awhile after they got a drink of water. Benny was running around looking for some of his toys and Kota was busy chasing after a grasshopper! Eventually they sat over in the shade and enjoyed the slight breeze. We all came back inside and they cooled off again. Benny got a nice backscratch while he laid next to me. Kota decided she wanted one too, so she came and sat with her back facing me!

Caleb & Kitty

I let Caleb out of his kennel when I got there, and he ran and grabbed a green kitty toy. He had little green feathers floating around outside of his mouth! He went out and went potty for me. When he came in, he ran straight for the bedroom. He was standing over kitty, who was rolled over onto his back. Caleb was just staring at him, then kitty started squirming around and batting at Caleb's nose! Caleb put his nose over kitty's tummy and he wrapped his legs around Caleb's nose and held on. Kitty made a dash for the nightstand, with Caleb close behind. Kitty rolled over onto his back and would stick his head out and swat at Caleb some more before he went under the bed. He was having a blast under there, wrapping himself up in the cords laying beneath the bed. Caleb hopped up onto the bed and was jumping like it was a trampoline! He hopped up, then bounced once real high, then hopped down onto the other side. He kept doing this, going from side to side. He was sure getting his exercise for the day. Eventually kitty started following him underneath the bed and would shoot out and tap him on the nose! They are hilarious together! I got Caleb to come take a short walk with me, to give kitty a little break.

"Peek-a-boo!"

Dakota & Benny

Today Kota, Benny and I went for a really long walk since it was nice and cool out! As we were walking, Kota and Benny were watching some kids riding around on their bikes. The kids saw us and said, "Oh look its a husky and a little puppy dog!". We walked under a tree that had dropped a lot of leaves on the sidewalk. Benny's leash started to drag a couple leaves along with us and the sound made Benny jump up a foot in the air! When we got home Kota had worked up an appetite and was just staring up at her bowl. So I let her have some lunch while Benny was busy resting and getting his back scratched!

Jasmine & Banjo

Tonight I didn't see the puppies sitting by the gate when I pulled up. I went in the backyard and around to the back of the house to find them just laying out in the grass. It is a little cooler this week, so I'm sure it's much more comfortable for them. They looked at me for a minute, then both ran for me as fast as they could to say hi! They followed me around as I scooped up the yard some more. They also ran a couple laps and chased after each other! As soon as I finished we went for our nice long walk. Jasmine likes to pick up everything! I took away a straw, a piece of a firework, a string and a few leaves. Banjo just keeps walking along, stopping every now and again to sniff at something. They both stopped to watch little kids running or skating by them. Jasmine kept in the lead again today, but always made sure to check that Banjo was still following along. I could tell little Banjo was getting tired on our way back home. Once we got back they each went to get a drink, then came running back to be pet some more.  

Tyler, Emma, Lacey & Luke

I think I startled everyone when I opened the door, because of the tape rubbing on the ground! I let everyone go outside potty right away. Tyler immediately grabbed the ball (or whatever that is haha) outside and pranced around with it! After they went potty they both laid down outside, so I let them hang out there while I got their lunch ready. Luke was sitting at the backdoor looking in at me. I opened the door to let him in a couple times and he'd just stand up and rub against the house. When I took Lacey out, then he came in. After everyone ate, we sat in the living room. Emma laid on the pillow by the fireplace, so I sat next to her. Then everyone else, even Luke came over to me to get pet! Tyler got up to get a drink of water, then one by one the rest lined up behind him at the water bowls. It was the funniest thing! Emma was very snuggly with me today. After she got her drink she came running back over to me and laid her head in my lap. Tyler came and laid his head on my leg and Lacey laid on my other side too. If I stopped petting Emma to pet someone else, she'd paw at me then scootch closer and lay across my lap again!

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were ready for their walk today! Benny was running circles around me while Kota was doing her woo-woos. We headed on our way, and we took one of our routes backwards this time. It was like a whole new world for them! haha! Benny was so excited he could barely stand it. Everyone had their dogs out today since it was much cooler than it's been, so Benny was happy about that too! He was getting so worked up every time we passed them, that even Kota started joining in the fun. Benny stopped in a shade spot to take a little rest, but Kota kept tugging like, "C'mon let's go!". When we got home Benny was pretty pooped, so he waddled over to me until he crashed in my lap. He got a nice backscratching! Kota hung out in her cage and would come out once in awhile to get hers, and to give me kisses.

Webster

Today Webster was waiting at the door for me, tail a-wagging! I had him go find his ball for me so we could go play outside. I took him over to the big field in the back and had him running all over! He was much more willing to give me his ball today. He did try to keep it a couple times, but gave up quite easily. He would run as fast as he could to get over to the ball and would slide around to scoop it up on his way by. He got tired after awhile and came back to the patio to lay down. We went back inside so he could cool off and he got his back scratched!

Chelsea

This morning Chelsea did a big stretch when I came in and made her way over to see me. It had cooled off quite a bit since some rain had passed through. I decided to take Chelsea for a nice walk this morning. Boy was she excited! As soon as she saw me pull out her leash, she started prancing around. We walked down to the pond and there was a large flock of ducks walking around. They all were keeping their eyes on Chelsea, but she was busy sniffing around. It started raining again, so we made our way back home. She loved it though! She continued to sniff around. I had to call her to keep coming with me, and she playfully ran to catch up with me! Chelsea had her breakfast when we got back. She was in a much more playful mood today! We goofed around a little, then she sat as close to me as possible for her tummy rub and back scratching. She did a bunch of tricks for me this morning for some treats!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Morgan was chasing after me again, rubbing up against my legs any chance he got. Tyson was sleeping in the bathtub again, but he was laying the opposite way today! I got Toby, the little sleepyhead, up from his bed to go outside. I was going to take him for a walk this morning, but some storms were rolling in. He had fun out in the backyard though! There was a dog out in the other neighbor's backyard this morning and Toby was busy trying to see him through the fence. They both started barking at each other for awhile! There were some kids out playing who joined in the barking as well! haha! That made Toby curious and he cocked his head to the side to listen. It started raining and Toby was too fascinated that he didn't want to come back in!
