Katie & Sage

Today Sage was pacing back and forth in her kennel, ready to come out and run her laps! She zoomed out and ran around to get rid of some energy. Then, she went to get her ball for me. We played fetch for awhile, until she decided to roll around and relax for a minute. I cleaned out her run, then we played fetch a little longer. Suddenly, she had to run and check out what the neighbor dog was doing! He was rubbing all along the fence. It was pretty funny! I got Sage her dinner, then let miss Katie out. She roamed around a little, then I cleaned her eye up. She continued to explore a bit, while I cleaned up her side. The girls did great!

Pokey

Tonight I walked in and called for Pokey. It was so quiet in the house! I started turning on lights and wondering if he was home. Then, I finally heard him bark. He was sitting on the back of a chair in the living area. He hopped down and came outside with me. Pokey was busy roaming the yard and barking at the night. I heard a neighbor dog come outside, so Pokey ran over to the fence to say hi to him. Pokey wandered around, coming by once in awhile. Eventually, he was ready to go in for the night.

Oreo & Stuffy

I came in this evening and called for the boys when I arrived. Since no one came, I went to check the bedroom quick. Oreo was curled up and comfy on the bed. I tried to pet him hello, and he gave me this look! I guess I was bothering his relaxation time. Haha. I went to take care of their things and get them some food. I sat in the living room for a minute. To my surprise, it was Stuffy that was the first to come see me! He enjoyed every minute. He sat and got his chin scratched awhile then laid on the floor next to me. He closed his eyes and purred away, while I rubbed his chest and tummy. He was in heaven! I guess Oreo didn't need any attention today. Oh well. I bet he'll come see me tomorrow!

Katie & Sage

Today Sage was up and ready to go when I arrived again. I let her out and she ran her laps around the yard for a bit. She kept running up to me excitedly. I told her I didn't have her ball, so she went on the hunt. She returned with it and was ready for a game of fetch! We played for a bit. When it was time to clean her side, she came and stood with me. I told her to go out and play. Silly girl! She ran around a bit more until it was time for dinner. Katie was ready to come out for awhile. She peeked through the fence at the neighbor pup, while I cleaned her area. She roamed around and checked things out awhile. Katie came and sat for me when it was time to clean her eye up. It must have been itchy today! She kept trying to roll over and rub her face on the grass. I fed her dinner, and got the girls some fresh water for today.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Lance was sitting on his hind legs, trying to get my attention every time I walked past him. I let Ruby out, then the dogs and I headed outside. It was actually pretty nice out today. Ruby ran across the patio and leapt clean over the stairs. I guess she had some energy! She did that a few other times today too. Ruby hung around outside with Rusty and I for awhile. Rusty sprawled out in the grass until he was ready for a game of fetch. Later, we headed inside for Lance's turn to play. He chased after his toy for awhile. Then, Rusty got the idea to play wrestle with the kitty! I kept a close eye to make sure he was gentle enough. Silly boys!

Katie & Sage

This evening when I came in, all was quiet in the yard. Sage heard me and got up right away, bouncing up and down in her bed. Katie must have been snoozing pretty good. Sage came out first and was running laps around the yard. She found me her Kong and we played fetch for a little bit. Sage was so full of energy! She would bounce and run, then come back and roll around, just having a blast! She ran around and said hi to the neighbor dogs while I cleaned her area. She raced into her bed when it was time to eat. Katie was up midway through our game of fetch and was watching. She came out for her turn and ran to the fence to say hi to the neighbor dogs as well. She wandered about the yard, while I cleaned her area. Katie was a good girl while I cleaned up her eye and got that feeling better. She's such a sweetheart. Eventually, it was time for her to eat her dinner as well.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I saw Rusty hop down from the couch, while I let Ruby out. She zoomed to the back door, so I let them out. She had a booboo, so I cleaned that up. Lance was doing his silly swinging his arms thing, telling me he was ready. Since the pups had beat me to it and were already back inside, we just stayed in and I played with Lance a bit. Ruby was dancing around in the kitchen a little. I think she thought it was time for dinner. Lance had fun chasing his toy, as usual. I got it close to my leg once, so he sat and gave my leg a hug, as he was trying to get the toy behind it. So sneaky! Haha. Later, I took Rusty out and he got his time in. Ruby didn't want to join us, since it was a bit chilly out. Rusty had fun chasing after his ball awhile. He took a break half way through to stretch out on the grass.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the kiddos could hardly contain themselves, since it took me so long to get inside. They knew I was there the whole time! Panda was jumping up and grabbing onto my sweatshirt, "C'mon lady, hurry up! We gotta get out there to play!" She cracks me up. We got outside and I got a couple toys down for the pooches to play with. Bubba and I were playing fetch with his ball. He was so excited, the poor guy wiped out trying to get it! I felt bad for him. But he got up and kept playing as usual. The girls were busy chasing each other around. Molly would swing in now and again, to steal Bubba ' s ball. When we went in, I got everything turned on, fed them their breakfast, and got them each an extra half of a cookie. Shhh... don't tell mom and dad! :) They had been so good, so I gave them a tiny little reward. This afternoon I walked in and all three were barking at the back door, waiting for me to open it. Haha! I said hi to them, then Molly swung around and came running. I noticed someone had gotten a hold of a tissue box and tore it to shreds. I let the kiddos out and got them their toys to play, while I picked up quick. When I got back out, they were all still busy. Molly and Panda were chasing around like they do. Poor Bubba couldn't hang onto a toy long enough for us to play. They kept stealing them from him! So, he joined in the chase, as they roamed around the yard.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the kiddos were ready to head outside. Molly stopped to get her morning hello in, then she took off to do her thing. It was a good visit for Bubba today! I threw out his baseball rope, which Panda quickly scooped up. Then, I tossed his squeaky Kong for him. He was more interested in the Kong, so he brought that over and flopped it down at my feet for me to throw again. Molly was keeping Panda busy this morning, so Bubba got plenty of uninterrupted fetch! Molly and Panda were chasing around and around. Then, all three were literally running circles around my car! I got a chuckle out of that when they kept going and going... We headed inside later so I could turn on their TV and make sure they had food and water. This evening the pups were all full of energy again. They bounced around and waited for me to get their toys out. Molly and Panda chased around again, and even Bubba joined in for a bit again too. He was only interested in the toy that Panda had stolen tonight, so we didn't get a lot of fetch time in. He got his exercise chasing her around for the chance to get it back though! Later, we headed in and they got their cookies. I tried to get a pic since mom and dad asked so nice. But... Molly wouldn't stop kissing my face! So this was the best we could do. :)

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Rusty was lounging on the couch when I came in today. Lance was under the table and did a big stretch on his way to come say hi. Ruby zoomed out of her bed and went racing around the house, then outside with Rusty & I. She did her business then ran back inside to warm up. Rusty was meandering about, so I went in to see Lance. He, somehow, got himself all wrapped up with the mouse toy within minutes of playing. I had to untangle him, because I don't think he could do it on his own. Haha! Rusty and Ruby snuggled up on the couch by me. Ruby was in a silly mood today. I tried to rub her belly, then she hopped up and got all spunky! I took Rusty outside again later. When he was done exploring, he brought his ball over for some fetch.
