Mia

Tonight I went outside and looked for Mia in her corner. Since she wasn't there, I called for her. She came barreling around the corner and dropped on my feet for a belly rub! Then, she raced in the house and was galloping around, excited for her walk. We went for a long walk around the neighborhood. At one point, she starting jumping and running around, so I ran with her. Then, she stopped me in my tracks for some pets. She's so silly! Once we got home, I gave her a cookie, then got her dinner ready. I sat at the table with her while she polished off her bowl for me. Afterwards, we went outside for a little bit. She curled up in the grass until it was time to head back inside.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Tonight everyone ran to the door to see me! I let the boys out to go potty as Sugar disappeared into her hideout. She, of course, came running out for her tatoes! After they finished, we played in the living room for a bit. I tossed a rawhide for Jimmy until he decided to finish eating it. Buddy curled up on his bed with a rawhide too. Miss Sugar snuggled up on my lap and sniffed at other animal smells on me. Later, they all went out potty again. I got them each a yummy peanut butter cookie before bedtime.

Miranda

Miranda was waiting patiently behind the door when I arrived. She said hello with a quick kiss on the hand, then raced me to the backdoor. We went out and she went potty right away. She sniffed around for a bit, then layed down in the grass and sunbathed again. She came over and gave me her red bone once so I could throw it. Then she went back to sunbathing again.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This afternoon the pooches raced out of the room to the back door. I almost thought some decorations were going to go flying! Everyone ran out and sat under their tree. Chloe and Tizzy were going in circles around, over and under the trailer. Buckley came by me and rolled over on my feet. He was happy to get a belly rub! After awhile they all went racing to the back corner of the yard. They were saying hi to two of their neighbor friends today! The little black dog was howling with excitement. Buck came inside with me when it was about time and collected their bones. I went back to get the others inside too. They were just having too much fun out there!

Miranda

Miranda was sitting patiently behind the door when I showed up this afternoon. She gave me a hug, then went to pick out which toy she wanted to take outside with her. She grabbed her red bone, then we went out. She wandered around until she finally went potty. Then she layed down and sunbathed, coming to say hi to me every couple minutes, then going back to her sunny spot in the grass.

Miranda

This afternoon, Miranda ran out of the bedroom to come see who arrived. She gave me a big hug and I told her how much I missed her. She grabbed her red bone and stood by the door. We headed outside and she kept following me around, right at my heels. I kept telling her to go potty, but she would just sit down at my feet and stare at me. I gave her a quick tummy rub, then she finally got to business.

Buddy, Bruno, A.C., Angel & Aspen

This morning Buddy was up and waiting for me. Aspen followed me into the bedroom to get Bruno. It was bitterly cold this morning, so we took a slightly shorter walk than usual. When we got home, both A.C. and Aspen were waiting in the living room for their breakfast! While the kitties ate, Bruno and I played fetch in the kitchen with his duck. This afternoon I took the boys for another short walk. After cleaning litter boxes, we sat in the kitchen again. Bruno brought me his bone to toss across the kitchen. Buddy sat right next to me and enjoyed plenty of chest and back scratches. Aspen hopped over the gate, then came and snuggled up in my lap. He kept me nice and warm, purring away as I pet him!

Luke & Maycie

This morning Luke and Maycie were ready to go out and play. I got Luke his ball right away and we began our game of fetch. Maycie was busy running around and playing with bugs on the patio. They both got very muddy again this morning, so we stopped in the garage before heading in. I wiped off their paws with the towel. Maycie kept jumping up and messing around when I was cleaning Luke up! This afternoon I swept up the floor again while Luke and Maycie went out potty. They came back in and had their dinner. Luke was ready for some fetch when we got back outside. He could hardly wait for me to throw the ball! Maycie was chasing back and forth along the fence with the neighbor dog most of the time.

Fiona, Danner, Lew & Jenny

The kids all knew I had arrived this morning. They crowded at the door to see me. Danner almost pushed his way out the front door to say hi! Lew and Fiona each grabbed a kong and started prancing around with them. Everyone quickly ate their breakfast. It was way to chilly out this morning, so we visited together inside. As soon as I sat down, Fiona ran and jumped in my lap! Danner rolled over on my feet and got a belly rub. My little sidekick, Jenny, got her share of attention too. She kept doing her little chattering thing she does this morning. Lew curled up on his bed for awhile. Before I left I got them each a yummy peanut butter filled kong!

Abbie, Guinevere, Sonny & Tabitha

This morning Abbie ran out of the bedroom to see me. We put on her coat and headed out. She went potty then walked around a bit. I let her linger around the front yard until she was ready to go in. Inside, it was breakfast time. Abbie watched me with wide eyes as I popped open new cans of dog and cat food. I put her food down, but she was more eager to eat the kitties leftovers then her own meal. Surprisingly, the cats licked their plates clean quickly, so Abbie could make sure they didn't miss anything.
