Mia

This morning Mia was watching out the front window for me. As soon as she saw my car, she started doing her little dance! I got her leash on and we went for a long walk right away this morning. We heard a couple dogs barking along the way, so Mia began to whimper, wanting to go play with them. After we got home, we sat on the patio. She wanted to stay outside for the morning. It was simply gorgeous out this afternoon! I found Mia napping on the patio. Once I opened the door, she came running in and was ready to go! So, we went for another long walk this afternoon. Mia got to spend the rest of the day outside, enjoying the nice weather. This evening the wind had picked up and it was getting cooler out. When I let Mia inside, she went straight to her bed and curled up. I sat with her and scratched her belly for a bit. Then, I asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go for a walk?" She popped right up and ran into the living room. We went for a shorter walk this evening since it was a little chilly with the wind. During one big gust, Mia stopped me and I gave her a big hug and kiss on the head. When we got home I got Mia her dinner and a treat.

Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This morning Bootsie was all curled up on one of the doggie beds. The pups all ran out and waited for me at the door. They all ran to the back of the yard to say hi to their doggie friends. JR hopped in the trailer and tried to get a closer look into the tree. To get out, he sprung high up in the air! Buck found his little skunk toy and was carrying that around this afternoon. For my second visit, the pups raced out again, as excited as the first! They spent most of their time racing back and forth between the two trees closest to the house, on either side. Buck was having a blast rolling around in a leaf pile! Tizzy had found something interesting by the fence and began to dig. I yelled for her to stop, so she came running over to me. Everyone got excited then, and they all surrounded me, each trying to get my attention! We headed inside just in time for the lawn guys to arrive. They waited in the kitchen while I got their second round of peanut butter ready.

Gracie & Jack

This evening I could hear the dogs in the back as I made my way to the door. They both came barreling in and sniffed at me excitedly. Gracie ran for her toy right away. I tossed it for her a couple times, then headed to the front door. Jack beat me to it, knowing what was to come! He helped me put on his collar and impatiently danced around while I got Gracie's harness on. We went for a nice long walk this evening. When we got back, I played fetch a little longer with Gracie while Jack sat by me for a chest scratch.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This evening the boys were happy to see me come in. They quickly went out and did their business, not wanting to stay out long in the cool wind. Sugar emerged to join the boys for dinner. Afterwards, she curled up in my lap again. She got a nice neck massage! She just held her head down and closed her eyes, "Aah! That's the spot!". Jimmy climbed up next and kept giving me kisses. Buddy was busy trying to carefully tip over the toy basket. Then he kept pawing at it and looking at it curiously. He made me laugh. When it was time, we headed to their room and got them a treat before bed.

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.
