Boomer, Ladybug, Bella & Bo

This morning all was quiet when I arrived. No one made even a tiny peep until they were all let out! The pups were running circles around me as I was getting their coats on. They spent a little time roaming around outside this morning. Boomer snuggled up in the chair with me as usual. There was a dog running around loose, so that got everyone excited! We headed back inside and Bo got working on his breakfast. I got them each a new bone for today before I left. This afternoon they all got bundled up and went out for a potty break. Their neighbor pug friend was outside! That kept Bella and Bo busy, racing back and forth along the fence. Boomer was ready to go back inside, so they all ran in after him. Bella curled up on the footstool and Ladybug in her bed with a bone. The boys snuggled up with me the rest of the time. This evening they were all excited to go outside. After each got their coats on, it was time to head out. They didn't want to stay out too long at first. But after coming in for a bit, the girls sat by the door, ready to go out and play some more!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning Toby was already awake again when I arrived. He ran around my legs then ran to the backdoor. I let him wander while I filled his food bowl. He came back and bolted in the door to his food. I sat down next to him while he chowed down. Morgan came over and started meowing away at me, wanting some attention. I gave him some hugs, then Tyson started meowing for me to turn on the sink for him. Then Morgan came with me to take care of the litter pans and refill their food. The rest of the time I gave Toby a tummy rub and he got a treat before I had to leave.

Jimmy, Buddy, Sugar & Charlie

This evening I found Jimmy standing behind the door, dancing around excitedly when he saw me. Buddy came running when he heard me. I had to lure Sugar out from under the bed, but then they all went outside for me. They didn't take long because it was wet and cold out. We went back inside and it was time for the boys' meds. After that, I sat with them in the kitchen for a bit while Sugar ate, Jimmy curled up on my lap, and Buddy wandered around. They all ran to the bedroom door when they heard 'treat' and 'bedtime.'

Boomer, Ladybug, Bella & Bo

This morning I uncovered everyone and let them all out. The babies barked until they knew who it was! I got everyone bundled up, then we headed outside. It was much warmer out this morning, so we spent our whole visit outside. Bella and Bo were busy wrestling around. Boomer snuggled up with me for awhile, then did some exploring. Ladybug curled up on her own chair. Bella joined her after awhile and they watched the people going by. This afternoon it was pouring out. I bundled everyone up in their cute little jackets and we went outside for a quick potty break. They didn't take long before they were ready to go back inside. Bobo snuggled with me on the couch, with Boomer nearby. Ladybug guarded her bone that I had given them this morning. This evening when I showed up, all the puppies were running all over the place excitedly. I put all their little coats on, then we headed out. They didn't take long because it was so cold and wet out. They lined up at the door when they were done. Then it was sleepy time for all the babies. They spread out all over the living room and snoozed until it was time for bed.

Mia

This morning Mia was barking and bouncing up and down at the front door. I went in only long enough to grab her leash, and away we went! It was much warmer out this morning, so we went for an extra long walk! We saw joggers and other people walking their dogs. Mia was happy to keep walking. I think she liked the warmer air as well. When we got home we sat out on the patio. Mia got to spend the morning outside. When I got back this afternoon it had just started raining out. Mia came inside just in time! As soon as we sat down in the living room, it began pouring out. She knew that we weren't going for a walk this time, and I don't think she even wanted to. She laid down and rolled over for a nice long belly rub!

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning it was Tyson peeking around the door to see me. He ran straight to the sink after I said hi to him. I turned on the faucet, then Morgan came running upto me. Then I went to wake up Toby. He just rolled over on his back and stretched. I let him outside while I got his breakfast ready. When he came back in, he pretty much inhaled his food. After that, we played around with his toys for a bit. This afternoon it was raining pretty hard when I arrived. Toby did not want to go out. I had to go out and stand in the rain first to show him it was ok, then he quickly came out after me and went potty. When we went back inside, he was so happy, jumping up and down like "I did it! I did it!" It was so cute. This evening Toby was up and about when I arrived. He was standing behind the door howling. He jumped up to give me a hug before we headed outside. It was still wet out from the rain, but he didn't mind this time. He came back a couple minutes later, fully prepared to eat his dinner. Meanwhile, Tyson demanded I turn the sink on for him. He drank a little, then just let the water fall on his head. I think he liked it! It was so funny. Morgan was sitting by the backdoor staring at the window, even though he couldn't see through the blinds.

Boomer, Ladybug, Bella & Bo

This afternoon everyone announced my arrival! I got each of their little coats on, then we headed outside. Bobo came and snuggled with me as he began to shiver. Bella was having fun racing around the yard, while Boomer curled up on a chair. Ladybug curled up on my lap as well, so we headed back inside the nice warm house. Bo took over my lap and rolled over for a belly rub. Lady curled up alongside me on the couch. Boomer had a bone he was busy working on, while sitting on the back of the couch, behind my head. Tonight I bundled everyone up again when I got there. It was raining out, so they all quickly did what they needed to do, and were right back inside. Bella hopped up on the couch and rolled around, scratching her back. Bo cuddled up with me again, while Boomer sat on top behind me. Ladybug had curled up in her bed on the floor. They all took turns coming to sit by me for some attention. I got lots of kisses in return! Before bed, they all got their warm coats put on once more for a last potty break. Back inside, they were so excited to get into their beds, that they would race into any cage, cramming in with each other! Finally I got them to go in the right ones, one by one.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Morgan was sitting behind the door when I arrived this evening. He meowed a hello at me, then hopped on the couch. I went to wake up the sleepy head who was in his usual spot on the bed. He followed me to the kitchen where we put on his collar, leash, and adorable coat. Then went for a nice walk. He was so good the whole time. He didn't tug or anything. It was a little chilly, but he didn't seem to mind. As soon as we got back, it started raining, so he didn't want to go back outside anymore.

Mia

This morning Mia was already outside when I arrived. I went out to call for her and she came racing to me from the opposite corner of the yard! We took a nice long walk this morning. When we got home, we sat on the patio for awhile. She hadn't finished her dinner from last night, so we worked on that. I hand fed her yummy pieces one at a time until she worked up enough of an appetite to eat on her own. Before long, she had her bowl licked clean! Mia got to stay outside until the cleaning girls were done. This afternoon Mia was at her post, waiting for my arrival. She did her little happy dance until I got inside. Then, she flopped down on my feet to hold me in place, and got a quick belly rub! We went into the living room, grabbed her leash and went on our way. We took another long walk this afternoon. After we got back home, we spent the rest of the time out on the patio. It was chilly out today and looking like rain, so I had her come back inside before I left. This evening Mia was just as excited to see me! She even pawed at the window as I was walking up! Unfortunately, it was raining tonight, so we didn't go for our walk. I let Mia out back to do her business, then she came right back in. She sure wasn't happy about that! She kept "how-woo-roo"-ing at me. I felt bad, because I know how much she loves her walks. But, I told her we would go for an even longer one tomorrow. She laid down on the floor and got a nice long belly scratching the whole time.

Gracie & Jack

This morning Jack and Gracie came sleepily to the front door to see who was home. I let them go outside to do their business. Then, they came in and it was time for breakfast! Jack quickly scarfed down his food and waited in the garage until Gracie was done. After they finished, Gracie played fetch for a couple minutes. Jack stood by the door and wanted to go out, so they spent the rest of the time playing outside. This afternoon I let them potty, then they came in to play for awhile. I got them each a couple treats to work on. Jack stopped and ate his on the spot, while Gracie ran off to find a safe place to eat hers! We played outside again for awhile. I noticed Gracie had brought both her toys out with her, so I put them back inside. It was chilly out today and looking like it would rain, so I kept them inside. This evening the pups were excited to see me. They quickly went out, then ate their dinners. I played fetch with Gracie for awhile. She would race down the hallway and slide to a stop, sometimes even flying past her toy! It was raining out this evening, but they didn't mind. Jack and Gracie had a blast wrestling each other in the grass. When they got tired of that, we headed in for a bedtime snack.
