Titus & Angel

This morning the pups were awake and excited to see me. I let them out right away, while I got their breakfast ready. Titus came back in and was bouncing around, ready to play! He got down in his playful posture, challenging me to come chase him. He wandered over and started to nibble on some food, while Angel sat with me for a back scratch. Later, we went and sat out back. Titus rolled over at my feet and got a belly rub, then he sat up and enjoyed having his ears rubbed too. Angel curled up and relaxed on the nice cool concrete. Later, she got me her pumpkin and we played some fetch. Titus wanted to join in, so he grabbed onto the toy as well and they had a little tug match. I threw it for Angel, then Titus would race laps around the yard, bouncing around like a little reindeer! He thought it was fun to jump as high as he could over the toy laying in the grass. Silly guy! This evening both pups were already at the back door when I walked in! Titus was bouncing up and down. I had them come inside to eat their dinner. They both laid down and finished their food pretty quick. We went back outside for awhile so they could play and get a last potty break in before bedtime. We heard some loud banging sounds from off in the distance that got Angel a little worked up. She would run over to me when we would hear it, and wasn't sure if she should be scared or not. As soon as it stopped, she went back to playing. When it was time I got them in their room, made sure they had plenty of water, and took their collars off for them.

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys came running to say hello. As we walked to the back door, I saw Clyde had both towels out in the middle of the living room floor. I put them up high this time so he wouldn't get into trouble. They went outside while I got their breakfast and water ready. After they ate, we went for our long morning walk. We saw a couple ducks along the way, but that didn't seem to phase the boys. They were more interested in what the other dogs in the neighborhood were doing. This afternoon Clyde was following me around when I arrived. He helped me go pick out a couple dental chews for them. We all headed outside and the boys each found a good spot to lay and enjoy their treats. It was quite toasty out this afternoon. They both laid in the shade until we headed back in. I got them some fresh cool water before I left. This evening the boys met me at the door as usual. We headed outside before dinner. Clyde was excited and ready to go! I got them all hooked up and Clyde started jumping up and down all the way to the door. We took our long walk, then headed back home.

Rusty, Ruby & the gang

Today I saw Justin was just chillin' in the water. Chloe and Heyday were at the far end of the yard, just walking around. Their bucket was a bit dirty today, so I cleaned ghat out before refilling it. After feeding and watering everyone else, Rusty was waiting outside for me with his ball for a game of fetch. This afternoon I let Ruby out and we all headed outside. Ruby didn't stay out long. She thought it was too hot out! Instead of working on his tan, Rusty actually wanted to play some fetch. He brought me his ball and we had fun with that for awhile. He would have kept going, but I made him come inside for a break. The two silly pups went and sat in their room. Miss Ruby had been working on a bone. As I was leaving, I saw Salem curled up on the bed. I stopped to say hi and let her smell me a bit. Tonight Ruby saw me in the window and raced to the door to say hi. She and Rusty both were doing their little wiggly butt dance that they do! I walked out and fed Justin, Heyday and Chloe. After they finished eating, they all went for a swim! Ruby spent most of my visit inside again, since it was still quite warm out. Rusty was happy to get another game of fetch in! When we went inside I got him a fresh bowl of cool water to drink.

Griffin & Macy

This morning Griffin & Macy both woke up when I walked inside. We went out to the backyard right away so they could do their business. Then, we headed in and I got them ready to go. We took a nice long walk around the neighborhood. When I picked up he leashes, they knew what was about to happen and got very excited! When we got back home they had a chance to eat a little and get some water. Then, it was outside for one last quick potty break. This afternoon I came in and Macy was barking. She must not have seen me go through the kitchen, because I was already at the back door and she was still barking at the front! It took her just a second, then she turned around and went trotting outside. The neighbor pups were out too, so Griffin and Macy went to the fence to check them out. Griffin wanted to play fetch and brought me his tennis ball. After a couple throws, he decided it was too hot to play and laid down. It wasn't long before we all went in to cool off. Griffin helped himself to some lunch. He was blocking the bowl, so Macy couldn't get in there to eat with him. So instead, she stood by me to get pet. Griffin realized this and used his heiny to nudge her out of the way! He was just a little jealous haha! This evening Griffin was excited to get outside and play! He went right for his football and got it for me. A couple times I thought he wanted to play tug, because he wasn't sure if he wanted to let me have the ball! Then, Griff was sitting next to both the baseball and his football, staring at me like he couldn't decide which one to play with. Macy was busy this whole time sniffing around the yard. We headed in later for dinner, then one last potty break and finally bedtime.

Titus & Angel

Titus and Angel both came racing to see me tonight! Titus was bouncing all over the place, he was so excited. We went into the garage and I got them their dinner right away. It took a minute, but they finally settled down and finished off their food. We went to the backyard to play for a bit before bedtime. I tossed the pumpkin toy for Angel. She would run to get it and shake it about. Titus, of course, would always race with her. Then he'd leap and bounce back over to me. We chased a little bit, but it was still quite warm out. I had them try to settle and cool down a little while I got them some fresh cool water. Angel sat with me and got pet for awhile, then they switched and Titus sat for some attention. When it was time, we headed to their room and I took their collars off for the night.

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

Today the pups were quite as I came in to see them. They raced down the stairs, to the door, and to the back of the yard right away! I saw Bootsie laying on the sidewalk, stretching out. He came over to be pet while the dogs were busy exploring. It was quite nice out, not too hot yet and had a nice breeze. Chloe sat by Bootsie and I in the shade for awhile. Buckley curled up in the shade under the tree. The two pups had to go in the garden to check something out, then they returned to their spots to relax. We came inside so they could get a bite to eat. I could see Bootsie sitting by the door, meowing at me through the window! We headed back outside once they finished. Buck was watching a big Blue Jay that was flying in and out of the tree. Then, a big helicopter flew over and had both pups scanning the sky for what that funny noise was! Chloe and Buck both laud under the tree to relax for awhile. Later, a couple more helicopters flew over, which even got Bootsie to look up at them!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I walked in and saw Jerrie snoozing away on the middle tier of their kitty tower. Miss Kimmie was not in there with him today. In fact, I didn't see her until I finished up in their room. She was sitting on the table by the couch, waiting for me. She gave me a meow and walked along the back of the couch with me. I brushed Jerrie for awhile and Kimmie climbed up to the top of the tower. Jerrie had an itchy face today I think! I was holding the brush so he could rub his face on it, then I scratched his chin with my other hand, and then he also rubbed his face with a paw! He was sure loving that and purred loudly. Kimmie got her share too, until she was ready to play. She started grabbing onto the adjuster stick for the blinds and had fun swatting at that. Then, I used the handle of the brush to sneak up the sides of her bed for her to try and get! Jerrie looked up at me like, "Why did you stop petting me?" So I was able to both while playing with the brush with Kimmie, and didn't have to worry about her catching my fingers!

Murdy & Charlie

Yesterday I tried to see how just the two doses would do for Charlie, since his eye was looking so much better. He was looking a tiny bit more swollen again today, so I will come back tonight to make sure he gets a third. Murdy met me at the door and was meowing away this morning. He was immediately attached to my leg and followed me everywhere. Time to get the little one! I put his drop in and noticed a little discharge in the other eye. So I cleaned him up and will start applying the drops to the other eye so it doesn't get bad. He was doing some sneezing today, but didn't have any nasal discharge as of yet. The boys played in their tunnel together while I took care of their things. They sat in the sun and groomed each other again, then Charlie zoomed off to go use the scratching post. We played with the laser light a little today. Charlie got tackled a few times, but Murdy started to realize when my hands started coming towards him, that I was going to stop his fun. So, he aborted many of his attempts! Charlie snuggled up with me a little today too. Whenever Charlie is in the room, Murdy has no interest in me or his toys. As soon as Charlie gets put back in his room though, Murdy wants his attention!

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys were happy to see me. Taz was sniffing at all the other animal smells on me as soon as I walked in. They went outside while I got their breakfast ready. Clyde was too excited to eat at first! He was wandering around the house, wanting to go for his walk. Finally, he got working on his food. With his late start, they both finished up at the same time. So then, we got ready for a long walk. It was much cooler out this morning than the past few, so that was nice! It had warmed up by this afternoon. The boys went outside while I found them each a dental chew. They worked on those for a few minutes. Then, Clyde laid in the shade of the patio. Taz made himself comfortable at the far end of the pool to sun himself a bit. Later, he made sure to come over and sniff at me. Clyde came inside with me while I got them some fresh water. This evening I noticed Taz had fun with one of the towels that were set out while I was gone. I let them out, then they worked on dinner. When they finished they got excited for their walk. They turned their heads sideways at me to see if I was coming. I asked if they were sure and then they tilted to the other side. Soon they both came running at me like, "C'mon, let's go!" We took our walk and they took one last break outside. Taz found a huge toad he tried to play with! He almost didn't want to come back in!

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I saw Stormy lounging in her chair on the patio. As soon as she heard me inside the house, she came running in to see me. She sat in the kitchen, looked up at me and meowed. She wandered off while I got their food ready. As I was taking the bowls to their room, I saw her rolling around in the corner by the kid's toys. She followed me in to eat while I took care of Sadi. She was sleeping in her usual spot at the foot of the bed. Stormy came out and loved on me while Sadi was eating. Sadi came out and sat right next to Stormy. She apparently didn't like that and took off to sit in the window. Sadi enjoyed the rest of the time getting her chin scratched.
