Jazzper

On our last afternoon, I found Jazzper peacefully sleeping on the porch when I arrived. She quickly got up to greet me and rolled over for a quick tummy rub! We then enjoyed playing in the sun; scratches and rolling in the grass was so much fun! Check out the picture below; Jazzper ready for some attention! She stayed out in the sun with me for awhile, listening and watching the birds in the big shade tree. After the sun warmed us up, we decided to go sit down in the shade and get brushed! Before I left, I gave her big hug and thanked her for a great time; what a sweet dog!

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon Kota sang in his cage as I came into the house, while Benny ran around in circles! Kota ran around the house and made a lap on the furniture! After, we calmed down a little bit, the leashes went on and it was time for our afternoon walk! The three of us enjoyed the beautiful, afternoon weather! Benny said "hello" to the neighborhood furry friends as we walked by. Kota stopped a few times to check out some crispy critters on the sidewalk, but was encouraged to continue on! It was amazing to see how both knew the route; it was awesome! Benny and Kota actually took ME for a walk!! Back at home, each enjoyed a treat and a fresh bowl of cold water! A few scratches for each and our time had come to an end! See you both on Wednesday!

Coco

This morning Coco met me at the door right away! She seems to be learning the schedule! She meowed at me all the way to the kitchen and watched me prepare her breakfast. She didn't seem very hungry this morning, but I could tell she had eaten a lot of dry food when I was gone. I sat on the living room couch with her for a few minutes and scratched her chin until she purred.
This afternoon, Coco took me to the master bedroom where she wanted to relax on her steps. I tried to hold her for awhile, but she didn't seem to like that too much! She climbed on to my shoulder like a parrot!
Tonight, she was sleeping in her bed in the office where I brought her the heated up wet food. She ate alot! She must've had a full belly because she stayed in her bed after supper.

Flax

This morning Flax greeted me with a bark and a slowly wagging tail. He seemed happy to see me today! He had found some of the treats that I had hidden around the house the night before, but not all of them! I left the ones he hadn't found and hid a few more. I mixed up a can of wet food with his dry food and he seemed to like that. After he ate, we went outside through the back patio. It was chilly this morning! The grass still had the early morning dew so both of us had wet feet. We didn't stay outside long so I stayed inside where it was cozy warm and scratched his chin for awhile.
This afternoon, Flax and I enjoyed a walk around the backyard all the way to the front by the mailbox. It was relaxing in the nice warm sun. A big weather change since this morning! He wanted to stay outside for the afternoon until I got back.
When I arrived later this evening Flax hurried up to my car before I even got out! My car window was open and he stuck his nose through it to smell me. Then I let him inside the house and gave him a fresh icy cold bowl of water from the water jug.

Flax

This afternoon Flax was laying in his bed in the living room and barked at me a few times. He came up to me and I let him smell my hand for a bit then he let me pet him for awhile. He was pretty shy for most of the time. He led me through his doggie door and laid down on his matress for a few minutes. He didn't want to come inside at first, but after I called him a few times he decided to follow me.
Tonight when Flax heard me open the door he barked, but I came closer to him and he recognized me. I let him outside and he showed me around the big pond in the backyard. When we got back inside I set treats around the house and showed him one that I buried in his food dish to help him eat. He ended up eating most of the food before he found the treat!

Coco

This morning, I followed Coco's voice to the living room. She was perched on the coffee table next to her glass of water. She was watching the tv when I found her. She quickly followed me to the kitchen while I was getting her breakfast ready and stared up at me while I heated her food in the microwave. She seems to eat the most when it is heated up a bit. After she ate some she led me to the front living room again where I tried to pet her as much as possible. She was walking all over this morning! This afternoon Coco was sound asleep in her usual spot in the office, but she did get up to say hi to me when she heard the microwave again.
Tonight she stayed in her bed. She must have been sleepy from being so active earlier today!

Jazzper

Jazzper met me at the gate again this afternoon! She welcomed me to her back yard with a few "hello" barks, then she wags her tail and lifts up one of her front legs; it's so cute! Mother Nature blessed us with another beautiful day, filled with cool breezes and a warm sun! Jazzper thanked me for two fresh bowls of water and a big bowl of food! We walked around the back yard and then laid down in the sun for some tummy scratches. After a few minutes, she was got up to go check on who was walking by, and posed for a cute picture! Then she decided it would be fun to play around in the sand box and throw up some dust; check out the picture below as she enjoys digging in the sand!

Coco


This morning I noticed Coco had eaten the majority of her food I left from last night. She had eaten a good amount of dry food too, so I topped off her bowl. I got her some new food this morning and she ate that pretty well. When she was finished, she decided to go into the bedroom for awhile. She looked out through the window, then crawled up behind the curtain! I guess she wanted to warm up a little in the nice sunshine. I took her out to come sit with me for awhile and she was so warm! This afternoon, I tried a little something different with her food. I softened some of her hard food with water and added it to the canned. She seemed to like that and ate about half of it right away. She wandered into the back guest room and climbed into the closet for a bit! Tonight Coco was sleeping soundly in her usual spot in the office. I tried heating up her canned food a little before giving it to her and she seemed to like that even more. She stretched herself out on the chair and started getting very talkative again! She meowed back and forth with me, then made her way to the bedroom. I sat on the couch with her for awhile and pet her.

Maggie & Moe

This morning the girls met me at the front door before we went outside to go potty. Maggie and I played frisbee for awhile and she had a blast! She wasn't always the greatest at bringing it back to me though... haha! Moe chased after the ball I threw a couple times too, but she was ready to go back inside shortly after. Later, I had Maggie chasing all over the yard to try and catch some bubbles! She was jumping up and popping them. We headed back inside so I could give Miss Moe her medication and see if she would eat a little for me. She took her meds with no problems. She sure has lost some weight since I've last seen her, poor girl. She nibbled on her food while I sat in the kitchen with her. She did pretty good! This afternoon it was so nice out, so the girls and I decided to take a nice walk! Moe had some formed, but pretty soft stool. While we were waiting for Maggie to go potty, a bunny zoomed right past us! Moe ran to the end of her leash and stared it down until we got back on our way. When we got home I had Maggie go out in the backyard while Moe ate her special food. She made a pretty good dent in that too.

Jazzper

Jazzper met me at the gate this afternoon with a big, wagging tail! She was so excited to see me, it was cute! A fresh bowl of water and some food and then it was time to lounge in the sun! She enjoyed a brush, while we enjoyed the beautiful afternoon weather. Jazzper then walked around the fence and said "hello" to the neighborhood furry friends. It was then time to lay back down and get some scratches! She finally got too hot and went to lay down in the cool shade and posed for a great picture! Isn't she so cute?!?!
