Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

It was so good to see the gang again! Spirit met me at the door and said hello! I could see Shelby waiting by the back door and I went out to play with her. We turned on the sprinklers and stated outside to enjoy the beautiful evening! After we turned off the water, Shelby and I went inside to say hello to Baby! He was sleeping, so we didn't wake him up; we will say hello tomorrow! Shelby and I then went into the living room and she rolled over for some tummy rubs. I topped off the water dish and said goodbye! See you tomorrow morning!

Annie

As I opened the door, Annie started whining and wagged her furry, little tail. She was so excited to see me! Annie rolled over and I scratched her tummy for a few moments. I then grabbed her leash and she knew exactly what we were going to do! As soon as I put her leash on, she lead me right to the door. We enjoyed a nice, long walk in the beautiful, evening air. Back inside, it was time for dinner and her pill pocket! She ran around the room and took her pill pocket out of the room to enjoy it! We then sat on the floor and she ran around with her rawhide, dashing around the couch and chairs. A few more tummy and back scratches and it was time for me to go! See you later, Annie.

Coco & Mia

This morning as I walked around the corner, I saw an excited little Mia, dancing around and wagging her tail! She started bouncing up and down as I unlocked the door. Almost immediately, she rolled over for a belly rub! I was going to try and say good morning to Coco quick, but Mia kept blocking me and even sat on my feet so I'd stay to pet her. She's such a sweetie pie! I let her go out to potty and enjoy the gorgeous morning. Coco was sleeping on the couch in the bedroom again. She ate a little bit for me while I pet her. She hopped down when she finished to go find a new sleeping spot. I sat out with Mia for a bit and gave her big hugs and kisses before it was time to go. This afternoon Coco had moved into the office. She followed me into the kitchen, just talking away! I got her some food while I let Mia in. She was sleeping in the shade, but happy to come inside for some attention! She danced circles around me. I grabbed her leash and she was ready to go! We took only a short walk. I think she was nervous from sprinklers going off down the street and the sound of a nail gun from people working on a house. So we headed back inside where she was more than happy to get a nice tummy rub! I put the other half of canned food in her bowl since she hadn't eaten her breakfast yet. I sat down with her and she finished off the bowl again! She must just be waiting for the good stuff now... She's doing so much better this time, not mopey at all when I'm there! I tried to get Coco to eat some more, but she was busy checking out all the rooms in the house. I walked up behind her and was talking to her, but I guess she didn't hear me. She jumped when she saw me! I gave Mia a couple treats and let her back outside before I left. Tonight I let Mia in right away, and as usual she was happy to see me! While I was getting Coco's supper ready, Mia started getting very talkative. She kept "woo woo-ing" at me like, "Come on, let's go for our walk already!". Coco was all snuggled up in the blankies on the bed tonight. After I let Coco eat for a bit, I got Mia's leash. She came bouncing down the hallway again, stretching those big paws out in front of her. I put her leash on, then she rolled over on the floor. So, I made a dash down the hallway and she came running right after me! We took a nice long walk again tonight. After our walk, I got her dinner ready. She was hungry and ready to eat! I sat with her and she polished off her bowl again. I let her outside while I spent more time with Coco. She didn't eat as much for me tonight, but I noticed she had a good amount of dry food since I was last there. I gave Mia a couple treats before I left along with a big kiss on her head goodnight.

Cali

Today Cali was right at the door again when I came in. She must hear me coming every time! She rolled around while I said hi. I got her supper out and warming up. Then we played with her shoe string. I swear she never gets sick of playing with that! She grabbed it and rolled around on her back, gnawing at it. I'd move it in circles around her and she'd suddenly take off, zooming in any random direction after it! She worked on her supper a little bit while I attended to her litter box. When I finished, I came out to find her already comfortable and curled up in her favorite spot. She let me pet her there for awhile, then she got in a playful mood. She hopped down and made her way down the hall until I called her. Then she turned around and came back, flopping down just before she got to me with paws outstretched. She's so funny!

Action shot! She's got the string and holding on tight!

Cali

Today Cali did her usual as I came in the front door. She sprawled out and stretched her front legs out toward me wherever I happened to be in the room. Then she'd get up and go rub against the post in the living room. I got her food out to warm up while we played with her string for awhile. She even had fun playfully batting at my fingers! Later, she hopped up into her chair and started rolling around. She stretched her legs out towards me again. I did the same and she playfully swung at my hands some more. We goofed around with her pad on the chair until it was time to eat. I'd move it around or put my hand under it and she'd pounce on it! I gave Cali some yummy treats before it was time to go. She hopped right down to go get them.

I got it!

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon Benny was zooming around and up over the couch! He went up there again and came back with his orange ball. He kept pushing the ball against the back of my leg while I was letting Kota out. I guess someone wanted my attention! We took a nice long walk again today. It was so nice out! On our way, we had a little old doggy that wanted to come say hi. He was across the street and thankfully didn't venture out into the road. We heard some sirens on our walk today and could hear some dogs in the neighborhood singing along. When we got home, Benny was pretty tired and laid in the kitchen. But he made sure to go get his ball to keep it close, so I wouldn't steal it from him!

Coco & Mia

Tonight I looked around the house and realized Mia was outside. I called for her and she came walking around the corner shortly after. As soon as she saw me, she got excited and ran inside! She certainly remembered me from last time. She danced around with excitement and rolled over on the floor to get a tummy rub. She'd paw at me as if to say, "Don't stop!". She got up to go look for mom and dad, and was a little sad to see they weren't home. She went into her room and curled up on the couch while I got Coco's supper ready. Coco was snoozing on the couch in the bedroom. She got up to say hi and got started on her food right away. I went into the living room to get Mia's leash and tried calling for her. No Mia. So, I dropped the clip part on the floor so she could hear it. Within a split second, she came barreling down the hallway as fast as she could!! It was such a beautiful night, so we took a nice long walk. Mia would stop in front of me every now and again so I'd pet her. When we got back in I mixed a half can of food in with her dry food, then sat at the table next to her. Within a couple of minutes she had polished off her whole bowl for me! She wanted to go back outside for a bit after, so I spent more time with Coco. This time she was curled up in the blankets on the bed. She looked so comfy! I asked Mia if she wanted a treat before I left, and she responded with a wagging tail and a "bark bark"!

Cali

Cali did her usual rolling around when I came in today. She followed me to the kitchen, then worked on her supper. Cali snuggled up in my lap today for awhile, after she finished eating. Later, we goofed around with her toys and shoe string. Cali decided to roll around on top of the shoe string for awhile. When she got up, the static made it cling to her back, so she was walking around with it stuck to her! She stopped to bat at it, then successfully got it off of her. She rolled around with some of her toys after that. When she was tired of playing, she curled up in her favorite chair to relax.

Cali

Today Cali was busy rolling around in the kitchen floor again when I came to see her. She came in with me and rubbed up against my legs while I got out her supper to warm up a little. Cali ran over to our spot to play ahead of me when I was finished! She plopped over onto the floor and stretched her legs out toward me. We played with her shoe string for a bit before she decided to come snuggle up to me. She took a break to go eat some supper. We played a little more after that. The string got stuck across her back and she walked around with it for awhile! Then she'd whip around to look at what was chasing her! She's so funny. Later, she hopped into her chair and started chewing on the pad. She moved it where she wanted, then curled up to get comfortable and relax.

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon even Benny was talking to me while I got them ready for their walk! They were both full of energy today. Benny and Kota were messing around with each other when we got started. It was so funny! Benny saw the neighbor across the street had their garage door open, and he sure didn't like it! He got excited way before we got to his doggy friend's houses and hopped all the way there to say hi. Kota was busy playfully pouncing on leaves that would roll past her in the breeze. They both stopped to check out new Halloween decorations in people's yards today too!
