Louis & Susie

Today Louis and Susie both met me at the door, tails wagging excitedly! Louis even started talking to me while I said hi. He came in with me while I got their dinner ready. He grabbed a toy, but I made sure he kept it inside the house. We headed back out and Susie was already waiting in her house for her food. Louis worked on his dinner for a little while. Then, he came over to me for some attention. He tried climbing in my lap a couple times! He's a little big for that! Haha! He settled for sitting or laying on the porch instead while I pet him. Susie hung out in her bed for most of the time, protecting her food from her big brother! Later I got them each a rawhide stick, which they thoroughly enjoyed.



Miranda

This afternoon Miranda did a big stretch along the wall when I got in. Then, when we got to the back door she kept bouncing really high! We headed outside and she ran right to her toy. She laid next to it in the grass for awhile, then picked it up and moved to her spot at the back of the yard. Later she got up and wandered around. She did her business, then we headed back in the house to get her some fresh water.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon Roxy shot out of the back door and ran straight for her ball! She came and brought it over to initiate our game of fetch while Dilly and Biscuit were busy exploring. Later Biscuit came to join Roxy in chasing the ball. Dilly joined in too by trying to mess with them while they were waiting for me to throw it! When it was time, the girls headed to their room. Biscuit even joined! So I got him put back in the kitchen and let Bert out for her turn outside. She did her usual wandering about the yard. Later she came to snuggle with me and even rolled over for a belly scratching.


Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning it was a little cooler out, but still nice. So, we went to hang outside for quite awhile. Later they came in and all got their meds. Afterwards, Sugar and Jimmy wanted to go back out, so we did. I gave each of them some food in their beds to snack on later. This evening we went to sit outside until it was time for meds. They all cleaned their plates quickly, so we went back out for awhile. They all got excited when the neighbor dog came out. Jimmy had a blast racing back and forth with him!

Tank & CJ

This morning I didn't see the puppy dogs at first. I made my way inside and still didn't see them, so I started to get worried. When I got to the garage I saw them through the window, standing at the gate watching for me! That made me laugh. Finally they heard me calling and came bounding in to see me. Tank did his silly "howrooroo" at me! We sat outside for a little while, then went in for breakfast. CJ ate well again while Tank got his belly rubbed, then they switched. This evening the pups lined up for their hot dogs, and Tank was talking away! Afterwards they ran ahead of me to the garage. Tank plopped down on my lap wanting his belly rubbed. CJ came over for a hug and was busy giving both of us lots of kisses! Tonight I noticed they had worked on some food after I left this morning. CJ kept wandering back outside to check something out. Then, Tank would join, then they would race back in for attention. When it was time I gave them the last chicken treats from the first bag.

Miranda

This afternoon Miranda got to go outside and get her business done before any rain came. The dark clouds were rolling in fast, so I thought for sure we'd see some. But she got lucky today! Miranda made sure to bring out her black Frisbee again. We played tug with it for quite awhile until she got tired and went to lay in the grass. When it was time she came inside and I made sure to go grab her toys for her since she forgot them.


Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon the three little ones went outside when I arrived. Roxy ran around and found a green kong stick toy to play fetch with. She even played a little tug with me when she was passing it off for me to throw. She got to play fetch all by herself for quite awhile since Biscuit was busy exploring the yard with Dilly. Later Dilly came and sat on my lap for awhile. Then, Dilly decided to play tug of war with Roxy for a little bit! The three of them seemed to sense the bad weather coming. They each just stood and stared off into the distance, listening and smelling the air. Before we went in, Roxy was tricking Biscuit as he was joining in her game, by bringing me a new toy to throw for him instead, then quickly running over to me the one she wanted. So silly! Miss Bert got to go outside for awhile next. She did her cute little heiny dance while she excitedly carried out a little hedgehog toy.



Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning the storms hadn't rolled in yet, so we spent some time outside. They came in and out a few times before breakfast. Once they got in they were some very thirsty puppies! All three were drinking out of the bowl at the same time, the boys even right next to each other! After breakfast and their meds, Sugar came and snuggled up in my lap on the couch for a bit. This evening it had started raining, so the pups were all back in as fast as they could! Jimmy played around with his little squeaker toy and snuggled with me until dinner. Sugar and Buddy worked on eating some dry food. After they all got their evening meds, they went back outside for a few minutes.



Tank & CJ

This morning Tank and CJ were ready for me. They sat nicely for their yummy hot dog treats. We sat outside and they got pet for a bit. Then, it was time for breakfast. They took turns as usual, one eating Tank's food while the other got loved on. CJ ate really well this morning since Tank was busy rolling around getting his tummy rubbed! They each got their chicken treat and ran off to enjoy it before I left. This evening it had started raining out, so we spent most of our time in the garage. They got their hot dogs, then I got them their canned food snack. Tank made sure to lick both plates clean. Afterwards, they took turns eating the kibble. CJ rolled around on the rug and pillows, being a silly girl. Then Tank plopped over at my feet for his tummy scratching. They were both so snuggly tonight and gave me lots of hugs and kisses!
