Heathcliff, Atticus, Ava & Chance

Today Atticus came running down the hallway when I came in! Heathcliff was making his way to the kitchen, ready for his breakfast. They had finished off all their food from the other day, so they were hungry! They all ran ahead of me to their stations! Everyone was busy working on their canned food while I cleaned litter boxes and filled their waters. Ava and Chance were waiting by the door to say hi. Ava was talking to me while she came over for some attention. Chance was just full of the dickens this morning! He ran over to the wall and stood up to grab at it, then ran off to the other end of the room. After visiting with Heathcliff and Atticus for awhile, I went in by the other two and we played with the little yellow lion toy. Chance sure had a blast with that! He was jumping and rolling around all over the place with it!

I see that little lion moving around down there...

Daisy & Indigo

This morning I was a little nervous seeing an extra car in the driveway! I guess your sister came to visit, so the pups had some company. Daisy was playing outside when I came in and Indigo was hanging out in the living room. She came outside with me and they had me throwing their ball for them while I scooped up the yard! Daisy still has some soft stool today that I picked up. After playing outside for awhile, we decided to go for a nice long walk this morning. Daisy was pretty pooped when we got home! But she still had some energy to go play outside instead of eating her breakfast. Indigo had finished hers and was ready to start in on Daisy's. Finally Daisy came in and ate for me. I gave Indigo a couple treats to keep her occupied. When they both had finished, I gave them one of the yummy rawhides on the counter. Daisy pranced around with it in her mouth, like a little cigar!

Willie, Tilly, Natilie, Potsy, Maddie, Izzy, Spencer & El Nino

Today as I walked up, I could see Maddie, Izzy and Spencer all curled up and sleeping like little angels! Spencer sat right up when I grabbed the door handle. I let everyone outside for the morning. It looks like Potsy got a robin for breakfast! Ewww.... Spencer and Maddie came over by me for some back scratchings. Maddie liked it so much, she did her little hoppity dance for me! Spencer sat on his hind legs and asked for more while he was swinging his front paws up and down. Little El Nino was busy giving Potsy a hard time! He chased her under the deck and was barking at her almost the whole time. He took a break to chase back and forth along the fence with the Corgis.

Can I go inside now?

I have a leaf stuck in my beard!

Ursa

A sleepy little Ursa greeted me at her gate when I arrived in the afternoon. We went for a short walk and came back for a fresh bowl of water and a greenie! Ursa then picked up her toys and we played tug-o-war. At one point, as you can see in the picture, she tried to fit both the kitty and the green toy in her month at the same time! It was funny to see how she couldn't decide which toy to play with. Our time was ending, so I gave her some extra back and belly scratches! I thanked Ursa for being such a good doggy and gave her a giant hug!

Ursa

Ursa was sure ready for her morning walk! We stolled along the neighborhood, enjoying the early morning dew and cool breeze. A flock of geese flew overhead and got the attention of the excited Ursa. A few of the neighbor dogs greated us during our walk; Ursa just looked at them and kept on walking! She was happy to arrive home for her morning breakfast and a bowl of fresh water. I gave her a few tummy scratches and it was time to go!

Willy, Tilly, Natilie, Spencer, Maddie, Izzy, El Nino & Kitty

Willy, Tilly and Natilie all announced my arrival today! They ran laps along the fence while I got the rest out into their yard to run around. Kitty saw I was there and headed into the barn for her supper. I fed the Corgis then I went up by the others after they had finished. El Nino was dancing circles around my legs as I walked! Spencer was roaming around the yard, checking things out. Maddie and Izzy were staying close to the back door, hoping to get inside. Nino has so much energy! He was running up the stairs, jumping up onto the chair then the table, hopping down and doing the circle all over again! I fed the other four their supper before I put them back to bed.

Chelsea

Chelsea met me at the door tonight and was happy to see me! She got excited and started prancing into the kitchen ahead of me. I grabbed her leash and asked if she wanted to go for a walk. She sure did! So we took a short walk and her leg didn't seem to bother her at all! I let her decide what path we were going to take. When we got back home Chelsea ate her supper. After that we sat in the living room and she was super snuggly with me. She rolled over and got a nice tummy rub too! Later she got up and headed for the kitchen. She sure knows our routine! She kept looking up at the treat jar, waiting patiently for her yummy snack. I had her do a couple tricks for me. As I was leaving, she followed me to the door and gave me that look like, "Hey, where you going?!".

Ursa

Ursa was ready to play when I arrived this evening! We both enjoyed an exhausting round of fetch! We took a break after awhile to go inside and have some yummy dog food. After she ate, we were ready to go back outside. Ursa found a few other toys and looked interested in them, but apparently they were not as good as her small tennis ball, because after I threw them, she just looked at me! It was a warm night, so we went in a few times for some fresh water.

After some back and tummy scratches, it was time for a treat. She gave me a bark as if to say "see you tomorrow for our morning walk"!

Clovis, Snickers & Patches

Patches was out sunning himself in the front of the house when I came today. I saw Snickers and Clovis laying on the side of the house too! Patches started meowing at me and came along with me inside. Snickers and Clovis were waiting patiently on the back patio while I was getting their food ready. They both finished off their food before Patches came around the corner today. Snickers took off right away and Clovis started roaming around the backyard. I sat with Patches and pet him for awhile. When I was leaving I noticed Snickers had moved back to his spot on the side of the house and was lounging in the sun.

Daisy & Indigo

Both girls could hear me when I pulled up this morning. When I got inside they both greeted me and got some attention. We went outside right away so I could water the plants and pick up the yard. Daisy immediately brought me a ball to play with! Indigo started barking at me and they both stared at me until I threw it for them. So we played a little fetch before heading back inside. I got their leashes all hooked up and they got so excited for their walk, especially Daisy! It was nice and cool out, so we took a nice long walk today. They both walked so well for me! When we got back home they ate their breakfast and even got a couple yummy treats. Daisy wasn't sure about the apple treats at first, but of course she ate it when Indigo started heading for it. We finished off the morning by playing some more fetch! Indigo would run along with Daisy every time, but always let her bring the ball back for me.

Here's my ball!
