Dakota & Benny

This afternoon the pups were ready for their walk. I got them hooked up and off we went. It was nice and warm this afternoon, so we took our long route. Kids were getting home from school as we were walking. That kept Kota and Benny busy watching them play. A few kids we passed by commented on how cute they were! Once we got home, they had their drink of water and cooled down.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy & JR

This afternoon the pups spent the majority of their time surrounding their favorite tree. They sat around staring up into the branches with their tails wagging a mile a minute! Every so often they would come running up to me for some attention. Buckley hung out with me quite a bit and would bury his head in my leg while I pet him. Then if I stopped, he kept his head down and barked for more! Chloe sat under the tree the most. Tizzy and JR would run back and forth all over the place. I had everyone come in a few minutes early to cool down and have some water. They settled down and snuggled up on the couch with me. Suddenly, I heard a tiny meow! I meowed back to find out where Bootsie was. It sounded like a "Help, I'm locked in!" kind of meow. I finally found him upstairs with the door closed. Once I opened it, the pups all surrounded him and gave him little kisses. He let me pet him for quite awhile! He followed us downstairs and into the kitchen to get the peanut butter snacks. Bootsie even gave me a couple licks on my leg, I think to say thanks for letting him out!

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon Benny was zooming around and talking to me with his little tennis ball in his mouth. Kota gave me lots of kisses while I tried to get Benny's collar on! It was a perfect day for a nice long walk. Lots of people were outside in the neighborhood, working on their cars and yards. That kept the pups entertained, watching all the people. One house had a few garbage bags out front that Benny barked at! Kota and Benny were getting pretty tired by the time we were almost home. They were happy to get in to get a drink and cool down!

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy & JR

This afternoon it didn't seem that their squirrel friend was out. They each took turns coming to sit by me for attention. Then they would run off and as a pack, would bark and zoom off to the other end of the yard. Today a bunch of huge flocks of birds would fly overhead. That kept everyone's attention! JR would run along with them as if he were about to catch one. The other three would just sit and stare up at the sky. Chloe lounged around under the big tree towards the back of the yard. Buckley and JR had some fun chasing and tackling each other! Later, JR wanted to go inside. I let him in and tried to figure out what he wanted. When I went back out by the others, I noticed it had started to rain a little! I guess he knew it was coming. The other three wanted in now too, so we all headed inside. They headed upstairs where Chloe and Tizzy curled up on the couch, and Buckley hid under the desk. I sat on the couch with them for awhile. Tizzy made herself comfy in my lap and got a nice tummy rub! Everyone settled down and eventually were all snoozing away. They got up and ran to their room when it was time for their peanut butter snack!

Sleepy little girls!

Dakota & Benny

Benny was zooming around the living room this afternoon with his fancy new haircut! He's all ready for summer now I bet! We got all hooked up and on our way. It was nice and warm out this afternoon, so that meant all Benny's friends were outside. We took a nice long walk today and by the end, Benny was pretty pooped. A man we passed by was admiring how beautiful Kota was and said he had a husky at home too! Once we got home, the pups enjoyed a nice cool drink of fresh water. I gave Kota some ice cubes in her bowl too. They had worked up an appetite and both had a little lunch before it was time to go.

Rasta, Steve, Maggie, Miso & Marshall

This morning as I walked up to the house, I saw Rasta and Maggie both squeezing in to look through the window at me! All three pups met me at the door and gave me a big hello. Marshall was already waiting on the table for his breakfast. Miso joined him shortly after, and started talking to me! Rasta was following me around everywhere, carrying his toy in his mouth. I got the kitties working on their breakfast, then I fed Steve. Maggie and Rasta were right there watching! After Miso had finished, he was trying to get Steve's food too! Marshall got down from the table when he was done, headed into the bedroom and went back to his nap. I fed the big pups next and gave Rasta his meds. Later, Miso and Rasta got lots of attention! Steve had gone outside and Maggie would squeeze in for some pets whenever she could.

Mandy & Aeryn

Both Mandy and Aeryn were waiting for me at the front door when I arrived early this morning! They ran around, turning in circles, excited to go outside. Once outside, Mandy ran around the yard, while Aeryn wandered around, enjoying the warm morning air. Soon, it was back inside to eat breakfast and a yummy treat. Mandy was ready to head back to bed, so I tucked her in. Aeryn then jumped up and joined her sister for a few more hours of sleep! Later that morning, the sun was shining so outside we went! Mandy was still a little sleepy, so she wasn’t ready to play with her toys. The neighbor dog must have heard me say something abouta ball, because soon she brought over her ball and wagged her tail, ready to play! The girls continued to enjoy the beautiful, sunny day. With fresh water and food, they were set! I gave each a bunch of scratches before I left. Thanks for a great time, see you soon!

Caesar

Caesar heard me coming this morning and made his way from his furry blanket to come see me! He meowed at me, then followed me into the kitchen. While he worked on his yummy breakfast I gave him his shot. I knew what he wanted next! After I cleaned his litter box, we went to our spot and he got plenty of attention. He was just purring away! I had some hair ties on my wrist, so we even did a little play time with those. He rolled to his side and batted at them above his head. His little motor was still running the whole time! When it was time, I said goodbye and told him mom and dad would be home soon!

Shelly, Dakota, Buddy, Clover, Mickey, Emma & Junior

This morning I got Dakota leashed up and we all headed outside. It was nice and warm already this morning! Shelly ran around along the fenceline. Dakota still wanted to go to his spot by the fence, but we walked around elsewhere. Buddy was zooming around trying to get everyone to play with him! Dakota and I walked over by the horses to say good morning to them. Junior and Emma both made their way over and let me pet their foreheads for just a second. Junior is such a little cutie! Later Dakota and Shelly wanted to go in, so we did. They got their treats, but Buddy wanted to stay out and explore. I visited with Clover for a little bit, who was sleeping behind the couch again. I just love her big adorable eyes! Back in the kitchen, Dakota and Shelly took advantage of being able to get all the attention with Buddy still outside! Shelly was dancing around by me and coming up to get her side pet. Then, while Dakota was working on breakfast, Shelly rolled over for me and got a belly rub! Dakota and I went back out with Buddy for a bit. Shelly wanted to stay in. Buddy finally got that big branch out of the pile. It was hilarious to watch him carry that around! Then, he came back again and again to get more sticks, as if he was starting his own pile. Silly boy! We all went back in and they got their treats before I left. They will be happy to see their parents come back home today!

Mandy & Aeryn

Mandy and Aeryn met me in the living room early this morning. Even though they were tired, both greeted me with a wagging tail! They then headed for the door, ready to go out. It was a quick potty and then back inside to have breakfast and their morning treat. I snapped a few pictures as they patiently waited for their snack! The morning was a little brisk, so I tucked them back in for a few more hours, so we could let the sun warm us up. A few hours later, I returned to barking dogs waiting at the door! We headed straight for the back door and out we went! We played outside and enjoyed the beautiful morning. The neighbor dog came over with the ball, wanting to share it with the girls! I caught a few cute pictures of the girls playing in the yard before I left for the afternoon. An hour later, I returned to let them in as the thunder sounded and the clouds rolled in. Later that afternoon, we took advantage of the rainy day and played with the stuffing-less toys and the orange ball! At one point, Mandy and Aeryn were playing tug-o-war with the blue animal; it was a blast. Then all three toys were by Aeryn and you could see the dilemma in her eyes and she tried to figure out which toy she was going to choose. We were able to get outside to enjoy some fresh air later in the evening, after enjoying some dinner and fresh water. I tucked them in and said goodnight!
