Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon the girls were busy playing in the back yard and didn't hear me pull up. I came outside, then they came running to say hi. It was another beautiful day outside. We spent the first part of our visit out on the patio. The neighbor dog was outside too, so the girls went and visited with him. Sophie and Roxy took turns standing up by me for some attention. Roxie went and curled up by the edge of the patio, so I went to sit by her. Sophie had curled up with a bone to chew on in the warm sunshine. Later, they got some energy and started chasing each other around. They raced, then wrestled, and ended with kisses. We headed inside after awhile so they could eat. Sophie finished hers, while Roxy kept nibbling here and there. Then, they each snuggled up on either side of me for awhile. Before I left they got their treats and I fed the fish. We had fun!

Sophie & Roxie

This afternoon was gorgeous outside. The ladies were waiting for me at the gate, tails a-wagging. The neighbor dog came outside, so the girls said hi to it and raced along the fence. They took a minute to get to the back door to come in, but were excited as usual when they did. After a few bounces hello, they worked on their dinner right away again. Sophie was first to finish and came jumping into my lap. Roxie wasn't going to miss out on the action! She soon joined us and they hopped and rolled all over the place. Sophie laid across my lap and did her swimming. After all the excitement, they were two lazy puppies today! Roxie went to her recliner and laid on her back for a bit. Then she rolled over and rested her head on the arm to take a snooze. She even started snoring! Sophie was laying next to me getting her belly rubbed, then soon was sleeping too. Later they got up for treat time and headed back outside to enjoy the nice afternoon!

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

This afternoon the pups seemed surprised to see me! It has been a little while, so they took a minute to sniff at me when I opened the office door. Then, they raced to the back door to head outside. Bootsie met us on our way out. It was a nice morning outside today. Buck and Chloe ran off to go explore. Bootsie came and sat with me for some attention. Later, Chloe came to join us. She sat next to me, then Bootsie next to her. Chloe just sat and smelled the fresh air. Buck was off in the distance, playing with his toy. He saw me watching. As soon as I said his name, he came running over for his back scratches. Chloe was quite the snuggle bug today. She spent most of her time sitting up against me. Later, we headed inside for a little bit so they could eat and enjoy a snack. When they were done, we went right back out since it was so nice out. Bootsie made me laugh when I saw him chasing a big bug that was flying overhead. Before I left I gave the pups their other snack.

This afternoon my ladies were doing a little dance at the gate when I pulled up. They were happily wiggling their little heinies. They met me at the back door and came racing inside. After saying hi, they went to work on their dinner right away again. They saved a little bit for later and came to sit with me for their attention. Today they would sit on either side of me and give me lots of kisses. Then, they would hop over and switch sides. Lots of belly rubs for the girls and kisses for me today! After a little while, they each ran off to finish eating their food. Roxie was having fun hopping from chair to chair. She even sat in the green chair in the corner, which I hardly ever see her sit in. I think she misses mom and dad though. She took a little time to lay on the bed today. It finally stopped raining out as of this morning, so the girls had a nice day to spend outside. I gave them each a few treats before I left.

Riley & Hunter

The mysterious couch potato came out last night after I left! The pillows were all over the place, and a couple were on the floor. I took one shoe off when I arrived this morning, and Riley was off with it before I even had the other off! The pups got to spend a little while outside this morning. We still didn't play fetch since there was quite a bit of mud and standing water in the yard. Hunter wasn't too happy about that. I had hidden his ball the night before. We cleaned up, then headed in for breakfast. After they finished, we headed into the living room. Hunter started barking at me, wanting to go play. I told him it was too early for loud barks, but that didn't change his mind. Haha! This afternoon's visit was very similar to this morning. We went outside to play for a bit. They did a little exploring about the yard. Hunter wanted to go inside... only to get his ball! I'm not sure how, but he knew right where I hid it too. We spent the rest of our visit in the living room. After I calmed Hunter down, he enjoyed his back scratches. They both were happy to sit in my lap for heiny scratches too! They were full of energy today, jumping over my lap, and then starting a wrestling match with each other. Those silly pups! Before I left, I told them mom and dad would be home soon.

Riley & Hunter

This morning both pups raced to the door to greet me! Hunter was bouncing all over the place. We headed outside for a little bit so they could do their business. It had stopped raining, so they spent a little time exploring. Later we headed in for their breakfast. I took a look at the forecast and saw it was supposed to be another rainy day. So, I thought we should take advantage of the rain-free morning we had. We headed back outside and I tossed the ball for Hunter a little bit. Riley got a little spunky too and would race around in little spurts when Hunter was. I got their paws all cleaned up when it was time to head back in. This afternoon two happy faces were right at the door to greet me. It had been raining on and off, but it took a little break when I came for my visit. I no more than took my shoes off, then noticed Riley was trotting along behind me with my shoe in her mouth! Silly girl. I saw evidence that there was a couch potato in my absence! A couple pillows were on the floor, so I put them back. I let the pups outside, then we got a few more throws of the ball in. Riley found a Frisbee outside and carried that around for a bit. I cleaned paws again, then we headed inside before they got too muddy. They were happy to get their back scratches in. A puppy was barking on the tv, so Riley went and sat in front of it to watch. It was so cute! Hunter took advantage of my full attention. He sure doesn't like to share me. Haha! This evening I was greeted with wagging tails. Riley happily carried my shoe around the kitchen. It was raining again and super muddy out, so no fetch tonight. It took a bit longer to get their little toes cleaned. We headed in for dinner time. They took a little encouraging tonight, but soon were licking their bowls clean. Afterwards, we headed to the living room for attention time. Hunter kept barking at me excitedly. I knew what he wanted! He wanted to go out and play fetch. Sorry buddy... maybe tomorrow.

Sophie & Roxy

Both the girls were at the gate, watching me pull in the driveway this afternoon. Despite the rain, they were happy to see me. I found a towel on the dryer to wipe little paws with, in case they were muddy. They were hungry girls today, and got right to work on their dinner. Afterwards, they both piled on my lap for their attention. They were in a silly, playful mood today. The girls would paw at me and then each other, then roll around. Sophie would curl up on top of the pillows at the end of the couch. I would say her name and talk to her, then she would just roll sideways and melt into my lap. They both reached across at one point and were giving each other kisses. That quickly turned into pawing and messing with each other! Roxie watched me leave today at the gate. So hard to leave those cute faces!

Riley & Hunter

I had a couple little sleepyheads at my first visit today! Hunter was first to greet me at the door. Then, Riley finally came out of the bedroom to say hi too. I let Hunter outside right away, but he didn't leave the porch. Riley wouldn't even go that far, as it was dark and pouring rain outside. Hunter made sure to point out his ball before he came back in. Next, I got their breakfast ready. Hunter came and sat in the kitchen with me,  but wasn't interested. Soon, he joined Riley and snuggled up on the bed. Sleepy puppies! This afternoon they were much more lively and ready to go outside! Riley quickly did her business, then patiently waited while I wiped her paws. Hunter was next, and was just as good. We had fun in the livingroom this afternoon. They were loving every bit of attention! I sat down on the Ottoman and they both came over for back scratches. I started getting Riley's hiney and she sat right down on my lap! That got me laughing. I guess that doesn't count as being on the furniture right? Haha! I laughed even harder when Hunter did it a couple minutes later. Riley eventually wandered off to the bedroom again. I followed to try and coax her back out in the living room with me. She met me carrying a slipper! I saw where she got it from and placed it back. We had plenty more back scratches in the living room before it was time to go. This evening both pups excitedly met me at the door. We headed to the back to go outside and I noticed Riley was carrying my shoe! Silly girl. They went out for a few minutes and did their business. I added some fresh canned food to their dinner to try and get them to eat for me. I ended up hand feeding them a few handfuls, then they got to eating on their own. After Riley finished, she carried her bowl into the other room to give it a few last licks. They were both happy to get more back scratches and even a couple belly rubs tonight.

Sophie & Roxy

It was a rainy day the whole day for us here. When I came to visit, both girls came out of their dry, cozy house to see me. We came inside and they were so excited! They hopped up on the couch and in my lap as usual. They both rolled around and itched their faces all over me while I scratched their backs! After awhile they took a break to eat. Today, while I was visiting, we kept hearing the loud garbage truck sounds. That kept getting the girls up and racing to the door to see who was here! When no one came, they would race back to me to roll around on the couch and my lap some more. Sophie had all the pillows kicked onto the floor at one point. I almost got a couple funny pictures of them, but they're too wiggly! We had some more fun and a few treats before they retired to their cozy house outside.

Sophie & Roxy

Today the girls came racing to the door when I got there. They came inside and had their attention time. They were being goofy girls again today. Both jumped on my lap as I sat down, then they took turns hopping across my lap to the opposite side. At one point they were both rolling around, so little legs were flailing about all over the place! Sophie and Roxie make me laugh every time I see them. Once all the excitement settled a bit, they both went to eat their dinner. Sophie came bounding back, hopping into my lap again. She inched her way across, sliding like a little worm and buried herself in the pillows. Since Sophie was taking up most of the couch, Roxie came and found a spot on top of the pillows and the arm rest! Those two hooligans had fun today, and enjoyed their snuggle time. They danced around in the kitchen, then sat patiently for their treats. See you tomorrow!
