Miranda

This afternoon Miranda met me at the door, so excited to see me. She galloped to the backdoor and spun in circles until I got there. We headed outside and she quickly went potty. I found one of her toys and threw it for her a few times. I eventually took a seat, and Miranda ran over and sat beside me, wanting her back scratched.


Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls got right to their breakfast after their potty break. They both ate until they were finished. Then, we got to play time! Harley was all about stealing Sadie's toys this morning. She would run up and pull the red ball right out of her mouth! Sadie would then run off and find another toy to have fun with. Harley saw that and decided Sadie's new toy was more fun! Poor girlie kept having to find new toys. Finally, Harley settled for the ball and played some fetch with me. She even would get a little sassy and let out a big "roo-roooo" while she was trying not to let me take the ball! Cute! This evening we played outside for a little bit before dinner. Sadie had to run back to go get a ball to bring out with us. She squeaked on that a little bit when it was dinner time, but then she finally got to eating. Both girls got to eating pretty quickly tonight and finished it all off. Harley stole Sadie's ball again first thing after dinner! Sadie got the other one and took off to bury it in some blankets so Harley wouldn't get it. Then, Sadie played a little fetch with a blue star toy. Harley didn't want that one! Haha!




Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon Bert had a new toy that she was prancing around with. She brought it outside with us of course! Dilly was just super excited today, bouncing higher and higher to see me. She hopped up in my lap today and watched the other two wander around the yard. Biscuit sat by us for a bit too, to get his back scratched. Later, all three were chasing each other around, playing tag! First they would race after Dilly, then Biscuit, and kept taking turns. Next it was Roxy's turn outside. She went for the tennis ball right away, as usual! She actually had to race pretty hard with Biscuit today, since they both were trying and wanted to get the ball. Soon, Roxy realized there was another one laying in the yard. She brought that over to have me throw. Then, she would let Biscuit go after the first ball, pretending like she was going to go after it, then would come back and wait for me to throw the next one. Such a smarty pants! She did a lot of running around today, so she should sleep good tonight!

Chelsea

This morning Chelsea was happy to see me again, poking her head through the blinds. I said hello when I got in, then we headed to the kitchen. I noticed right away that she was still pretty sensitive on that shoulder. Poor baby! After she finished her breakfast, I could tell she wanted to go for our walk. I told her we couldn't go today, that she had to rest up some more. She seemed to understand and came to lay down in the living room with me. I rubbed her ears a bit as she buried her head in my lap. Then she rolled over so I could scratch her belly for her! I gave her a couple treats before it was time to go and told her mom and dad would be home soon.


Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls went potty as usual, then came in for breakfast. Today, they both ate right away, all the way to the bottom of their bowls! We had plenty of time to play afterwards. Harley was having a blast, going from toy to toy. She played with the snake toy, her wubba, a blue chewy toy and the blue squeaky ball! Sadie kept wandering around showing me her red ball. We played a little fetch until Harley stole it right out of her mouth! After Harley got bored with it, Sadie took it into the laundry room to bury it in the blankets. I laid on the floor with them and had little nosies poking through my hair to give me kisses! This evening was the opposite again. Neither Sadie nor Harley wanted to eat at first, they just wanted to play! Soon enough though, they settled down and both polished off their bowls. We played outside for a little bit since it was nice out. Then, we came in and they both got their games of fetch in.

Chelsea

This morning sweet Chelsea girl was dancing in the window, waiting for me to come in. She pranced ahead of me to the pantry door and nosed at her treats on the shelf while I got her breakfast. She quickly ate, then came and put her head on my lap. I gave her a big hug, then we headed into the kitchen to get her leash. It was a little bit on the chilly side this morning, but we still got our long walk in. Her Sheltie friends were outside barking hello as we passed by. After we got home, I went out back to get rid of her poo bag. Chelsea wandered out with me and started being goofy. She bounced and raced around, then would stop to see my reaction before doing it again! Unfortunately, I think she twinged something the last time. She was a bit gimpy after. Inside, I rubbed her leg and shoulder for awhile, in attempt to make her feel better. I felt bad, so I gave her an extra treat before I left. This evening, I could tell she was better, but still a little sore. I got her dinner for her, which she finished quickly. I wasn't going to walk her tonight, so as not to aggravate her leg more. Luckily, she knew we couldn't go and didn't cry to like usual. She just went and laid in the living room. I felt so bad, I know how much she loves her walks! Instead, she got lots of belly, ear and back rubs! She gave me hugs in return. She's such a sweetie pie! Hopefully she will be better enough in the morning to get our walk in.


Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls did their business, then came in for breakfast. Both girls were too interested in playing with their toys this morning. Then, the roles were switched this time. Harley ate just about every bite of her food in one sitting! Meanwhile, Sadie was too busy rolling her red ball around, trying to get me to play fetch with her, to eat. Finally, when she began to, Harley would stick her paw through the gate to try and get the ball! After Sadie was done, Harley bounced off and found her wubba to play with. Soon, she was playing tug with me with her snake, while Sadie kept me busy playing a game of fetch with her ball. This evening we played outside for a little bit when I arrived since it was so nice out! Sadie had brought a ball out with get, so she played a little fetch outside. Tonight neither one wanted to eat at all! Sadie just cried at me to let her out and Harley was off playing. I finally gave up and we all just played for awhile. Sadie took her ball and tried to bury it in her blankets in the laundry room. I had Harley zooming circles around me, chasing after her snake toy! They took another quick potty break outside, then we tried the whole eating dinner thing again. They must have worked up an appetite, because they both sat and polished off their bowls for me. Such good girls! Sadie snuggled up with me a little and Harley played some more before it was bedtime.

Chelsea

Tonight the blinds were flying from side to side as I grabbed the mail. Chelsea's little nose peeked through as I got up to the door. Then, she stood back and waited for me to come in! We gave each other a big hello and I gave her a hug. Then, it was off to the kitchen for her dinner. She helped me get it out, and even nosed at the treat bags to show me they were there. After she finished her food, she came over and put her head in my lap, looking up at me with big eyes. I asked if she wanted to take a walk, then she did her happy dance around the kitchen! We went for our usual walk tonight as it was still pretty nice out. When we got home, she got her glucosamine snack. Then, she plopped down in the living room. She would get up and give me a couple hugs. I gave her a good ear and belly rub. She jumped right up when it was time to go and sort of waited, giving me a "hurry up" look. She knew it was treat time!


Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon the three little ones ran around my legs all the way to the door. Roxy immediately stood in the grass and stared at me! I looked down and just happened to see that the ball was already right by me. Dilly had already wandered off to go check things out in the corner of the yard. She made her way over to the shed to look under that next. Biscuit and Roxy were busy racing back and forth for the ball. They were each coming back with it equally today. Later, even Dilly joined in and all three raced to catch it! Bert came outside for her turn and snuggled up with me for a minute. Then, she ran and snatched up her hog toy and pranced around with that! We came in a few minutes early since Biscuit was a little chilly in the wind. All three pups piled up on my lap, each trying to take over! When it was time, I rounded them up into the kitchen and got their treats for them.




Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls bounced around my legs as I walked in, saying hello. I let them go outside while I started getting their breakfast ready. When they had finished, they lined up at the door to come in and eat. Sadie wandered along with me to her room. Harley was full of energy this morning and was busy grabbing toys and jumping from chair to chair! When I got her to come by me for a minute we played our game and she ate about a quarter of her food. After racing off to try and get me to follow for play time, she realized I wasn't coming and ate a little more for me. We took a break from eating to play, so Sadie could come out. Before I left Harley and I did tried once more in the kitchen and she finished her food like a good girl. This evening we played outside for a few minutes before dinner. Sadie took a little bit to start her dinner tonight too, but she finished soon enough and was ready to come out and play! After Harley ate as much as she was going to for the moment, the girls and I played some fetch. They were keeping me busy, taking turns bringing up their toy. Sadie had her blue squeaky ball and Harley the snake. At one point, Sadie was trying to bury her ball in a blanket! It was so cute. Harley finished off her dinner later on and they both got their bedtime snack.
