Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I let Ruby out and she went to wait at the back door. I called and called for Rusty, but he didn't come to see me. I saw his ball on the floor, so I grabbed that and went to the front room. He was just lounging in his chair, as usual. Lazy boy! He finally got up and followed along outside. It was raining out when I got there today, so Ruby was all nervous. Rusty went out and did his thing, let me throw his ball for him a couple times, then he wanted back in. It took Ruby several minutes to work up the courage to go out to the grass to go potty. The second she finished, she raced for the door! Neither one wanted to be outside today. When we got back in, then both went to sit in the front room. I gave Ruby some heiny scratches, and Rusty lounged in his chair some more.

Winston

This afternoon my little man was ready to go! I got his leash on and we went to go take our walk. He did his business right away today. Since it was nice and cool out again, we took a long walk around the area. Winston's little sniffer got a good workout! Haha. It started to sprinkle a bit as we went along, but since it wasn't raining hard, we continued. When we got back home, Winston went and got his monster dude. I still wanted to give him a little break to let his mouth fully heal, so I found his rope and we played some fetch with that. He did want to play tug though, so I think we'll be ready to go next week for sure!

Oscar

Oscar met me at the door today and once he saw it was me, turned and headed for the back. He waited up a little so I could give him some pets along the way! Once he got out there, he ran and got his frisbee again. He is sure enjoying the cooler weather! I grabbed on and we played a little tug. I asked him to drop it, and when he finally gave in, he ran off and caught my throw. Good boy! We did that several times today and had fun. Oscar got some good lounging time in today as well. Later on, the neighbor dogs came out, so he visited at the fence with them awhile. After that, a bunch of kids showed up next door and they all came over to say hi to Oscar. He loved that! He was jumping up at the fence, wanting more attention and enjoying every bit of it. He's such a good pup. When we got back in for the day, Oscar got his favorite snack.

Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Madison, & Max

This morning the pups did their thing, then came in for breakfast. The lawn guys had just finished up, so I made sure all the gates were closed before I let anyone out. I left the big girl's dishes in their bathroom and refilled them, since I didn't figure they were going to want to eat while I was there anyways. To my surprise, they both went in there and both ate all their food! Silly pups. Haha. When we went back out, they were all having fun again in the cool morning air. Madison found an intriguing spot in the grass that she kept sniffing at. The grass was pretty wet this morning too. Reese hopped in my lap for some attention and I noticed her legs were all green from running around in the fresh grass clippings! Kylie ran over when that happened and she stuck her head under the arm of the chair and proceeded to try and climb through that to my lap. Crazy lady! I kept trying to get her to go out and told her she was gonna get stuck, but of course she didn't listen. Haha. Later, she and Kaya were busy chasing around and wrestling each other. Reese, of course, was running along behind them! This evening the pups went out and it was raining. They came in for dinner quick. I had the big girls do the same as this morning and they both ate well again. Afterwards we went to spend some time outside, even though it wasn't the greatest out. The husky girls paid no mind. Kylie actually just sat and listened to the rain awhile. Later, she started digging like crazy! I tried to get her to stop and leave whatever it was alone, but I had to try a few times before she did. Reese had even gone over to help! Madison and Max hung out under the roof to keep dry for the most part. When it was time, they were all ready to go in for the night.

Sadie, Chloe & Patches

This morning Sadie was barking in a gruff voice to ward off any strangers! When she saw it was me, she started to dance around excitedly. I let her outside to go potty quick. I spotted Chloe on the bed and she meowed at me. Patches was peeking at me from the hallway, and came over to eat. She hopped up on the table before Chloe could. Sadie came in to eat as well. Afterwards, she and I went back outside. It was another cool morning. Sadie spotted a rabbit in the neighbor's yard, so she quietly stalked it until it ran off. Sadie roamed around and went to see what her neighbor dog friend was up to. Later, she came over to visit me. I kept her in today, since they were talking about getting some rain here.

Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Madison & Max

This morning I let the pooches outside for their potty break. They came in and all the little ones ate. Kylie laid on the floor and was busy talking to me. Kaya came and stood beside me, then kept pawing at me to let her out. When the kiddos finished, we all headed outside. It was nice and cool out this morning. I think the cool air put some spunk into them! Kaya suddenly started running towards me with her butt hunkered down. She zoomed by and ran over towards Kylie, circled around and came back again. She did it a bunch of times and had me laughing. Ah, that silly husky run! Then later Kylie was racing laps around the yard, with Reese running behind her and barking and growling. Silly pups! Reese went crazy rolling around and itching herself on one of the chairs too. Max was pawing at me for some attention. He and Madison stayed close, but later they did some venturing as well. This evening the kiddos went out before dinner. Max, Madison and Reese all ate well again. Kaya and Kylie had finished one bowl of their food from this morning that I left out for them. They both laid around again. Kylie hopped up on the bed to get closer to my height to give me her husky "roo". Kaya was being sassy and kept knocking the blinds around to tell me she wanted out! I let them all go back out to play awhile before bedtime. Kylie was standing at the edge of the pool sniffing at the shark in there. Haha. Everyone was busy either exploring or just lounging around and relaxing tonight. When it was time, all but Kaya ran inside. I went back out, then she came running too. Silly lady!

Sadie, Chloe & Patches

This morning it was quite cool compared to the last few days. I came in and Sadie was barking, since she didn't see me at first. She quickly turned to being excited, and was ready to go out. She ran around and had a blast this morning. I went back in to feed Patches. She was ready to eat today too and hopped up on the table to wait for me to deliver her breakfast. Sadie came in to eat, then we headed back outside awhile. She ran around, then came and wanted some attention. She was acting all silly and kept pawing at me. Haha. It was going to be nice out today and not as hot, so I let her spend the afternoon outside. This evening I could see Sadie's shadow through the door. She knew I was there. I let her in to eat, while I scooped the kitty box. Patches was in the living room, so I brought her food over to her. Chloe was already hovering, so Patches didn't want to go over there. The girls finished up, then Sadie and I went out again. She had some more fun running around and visiting with the neighbor dogs. Later, she came to sit with me and gave me plenty of kisses. She knew what was to come when we headed inside for the night... a treat! Boy, was she excited!

Sadi & Stormy

This morning miss Stormy met me in the kitchen. She was meowing quite loudly at me today! I guess she wanted me to know she expected some attention later. Haha! She followed along and we met Sadi in the food room. I got her ready to go and she got her pill, then she got to eat a little. Afterwards, we went to our place and she got pampered for awhile. Stormy came over and was rubbing up against my back. She enjoyed some chin scratches as well. I got her playing with her feather toy for a bit after that. This evening I came in and Stormy was laying on the mat in front of the stove. I've never seen her sit there before! She must have found out how comfy it was. Haha. She hopped up and meowed at me some more, as I went to check on Sadi. She was snoozing away in her bed. She got her evening meds, then I tucked her back in.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I let Ruby out and Rusty came running into the living room. We headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day! Ruby explored around the patio a little bit. She eventually wandered off to do her business. She picked a bad spot though, right in the garden! Rusty lounged for a bit, then did some sniffing around as well. He grabbed his purple ball for us to play some fetch when he was ready. He let me know when he was done today, and headed for the door.

Daisy & Figaro

Today miss Daisy was sitting up by the window when I arrived. She actually waited there and didn't hop down when she heard the food can open, like she usually does. I refilled her dry food and made sure she had enough water as well. She just sat and watched. I went out to take care of Figaro 's things next. I didn't see her, so I called for her several times. She must be out roaming around on such a nice day. Of course as I was pulling away from the house, I spotted her!
