Bella & Zoe

This morning it was beautiful outside already! I let the girls out right away. The grass was a little dewey, so they got some wet tootsies walking around out there. Haha. Bella came and sat by me for her morning pets, while Zoe was busy exploring. Bella wandered out after awhile too, and checked things out. Both girls lounged on the patio until we headed inside for breakfast. I got them their last egg, which they were excited for! They ate well for me. This afternoon was still incredibly nice out. I let the ladies out for their potty break, while I got them some new rawhides to work on. They laid in the grass to work on them. I love how they have to lay right by each other. Haha! Bella got some sunbathing in the rest of the time. This evening the girls got up to wait for me by the gate when I came in. I opened the door and they zoomed outside. Such an awesome day today! We spent our last visit hanging out in the backyard again to enjoy the weather. Zoe was busy on patrol, roaming back and forth along the fence. Bella had fun rolling around in the grass. She had both her ears flipped back when she sat up! I couldn't get the camera out quick enough. Haha. She lounged in the grass and watched the people out in the neighborhood. When it was time, we went inside and I got them their dinner and a couple bedtime snacks.

Rusty & Ruby

This morning was beautiful outside. I let the pups out for their potty break. They came back in for breakfast and worked on that while I went to see Salem. She meowed away at me while I pet her. Rusty came in to show me that he had his purple ball and was ready to play! I followed him out after I fed the turtles quick. Rusty and I got a good game in, while Ruby was busy exploring. This afternoon the pups came outside when I arrived. Rusty forgot his ball, so he wandered around and explored a bit. Ruby rolled around in the grass and got a little sunbathing in. I kept on her to do her business, but she had to find just the perfect spot. While she did that, I fed one of the big kids some leaves, since they were right over by me. That was fun. Rusty had ventured inside by now. I thought maybe he was getting his ball, but he didn't come back out. After Ruby did her business, she and I sat on the patio and she enjoyed some pets. I went in to see what Rusty was up to. He wasn't in his usual chair. I found him in the bedroom, snuggled up in his doggy bed. Salem was napping on mom and dad's bed. This evening I came in and Ruby was already waiting for me at her bowl. I fed the pups quick. Once they finished, they came out and did their thing while I fed the others. Rusty was searching around for his ball. I found the newer red one and we played a short game. He just wasn't satisfied with that ball though. I went in and helped him look for the other ones, but I couldn't figure out where he put it. Maybe in the morning!

Rusty & Ruby

This morning Ruby zoomed outside while Rusty and I followed. She quickly did her business and raced back inside. I opened the door to find her by her dishes, patiently waiting for her breakfast. Rusty went and waited for his as well. While the pups worked, I went to see miss Salem. She was a lovey girl again this morning, and was happy for her attention time. She even would come into the other room to talk to me while I got the turtles their breakfast. The pups were waiting in the front room when I had finished. Ruby was busy working on her bone. This afternoon, the pups came outside with me. Instead of a ball, Rusty pranced his way out back carrying a rawhide! Haha. I told him to find his ball so we could play a little fetch. He couldn't find either of his favorites, but I saw the newer red one out in the yard. I threw that for him and he did race over to it. But then, he just looked at me. "This isn't my ball!" It took awhile of him searching, but he eventually gave in and we played with that one for a bit. This evening, the pups went out for their potty breaks before dinner. After they ate, they came outside while I fed the big kids. Ruby was racing around being silly. She found the rawhide outside and bounded around with that, and on inside the house for awhile. Haha. Rusty found his purple ball and we played with that until it was time to head in.

Bella & Zoe

This morning it was cool and wet out. The girls were both at the gate, waiting for me when I came in. They danced around in the kitchen while I opened the door to let them out. We sat outside for a little while and they did their business. Miss Bella was ready to go back in after that. I grabbed some leftover rawhides for them to work on while we hung out inside. Bella snuggled up next to me on her doggy pillow, with one leg over mine, just hanging out. She wanted some pets this morning, and made sure to paw at me if I stopped! Zoe was off on her own, working on her rawhide. This afternoon it was a bit nicer outside. The girls and I went out back. I got Bella a new bone, since there were only two small leftover pieces. But, Zoe decided to quickly snag the new one away! Haha. So, I got another out for Bella. They worked as a team on these. Bella would snack on the outside, then the middle treat filling would fall out and Zoe would work on that. After they finished their treats, the girls relaxed in the yard and watched the neighborhood. This evening was very nice out. Bella was standing in the kitchen, wiggling away when I got there. We headed out back to enjoy some fresh air... and the delicious smell of someone cooking burgers on the grill! Haha. Miss Zoe was busy patrolling the yard tonight. She would see people out walking or hear other dogs and had to let them know what was up! Bella laid in the grass and lounged.

Oscar

This afternoon Oscar met me at the door to say hi. He ran ahead of me and picked up a bone that he pranced around with for a bit. I made him leave that inside for later. We went out back next. Oscar did lots of roaming around today. He was at one end of the yard, then would hear people at the other and would race to check it out. We heard a dog barking in the distance somewhere that got Oscar and his neighbor pals all worked up. Wonder what he was saying? Haha. After he gave his sniffer a good workout, Oscar found a spot in the grass to relax for awhile.

Bella & Zoe

This morning it was cold and rainy out. I let the girls out to do their business when I arrived. They took their time to do their thing, then let me know when they were ready to come inside. The girls both ate well overnight. When they came in, I got them some of their leftover rawhides to snack on while I got their breakfast. Bella stood by me most of the time and wanted some pets. Zoe was content chewing on her bone. This afternoon, it was still cold and very windy out, but the rain had let up. The girls and I went out back for a little while. Zoe was ready to head in after some time. We headed inside and I got them some new bones to work on. I sat on the floor by them and Zoe snuggled up next to me to work on hers. This evening, it had started raining again. The girls and I went out so they could do their business. They ventured out to explore a little, but stayed on the dry patio for the most part. Bella was intrigued by all the different doggy smells on me. We eventually went in, and I got the girls their dinner. I got one of their eggs out for a yummy snack to share. That got both girls chowing down on their dinner pretty quick!

Rusty & Ruby

This morning it was cold and rainy outside. I let Ruby out, then both pups came outside with me. Ruby was a good girl and did both her businesses out there. We came in and they were ready for breakfast! Rusty got his allergy pill as well. While they ate, I stopped by Salem to visit with her a bit. She was a lovey girl this morning. I got her some food, then took care of the turtles next. Rusty and Ruby were hanging out in their room, so I got them each a rawhide to work on. This afternoon, Rusty and Ruby came outside with me. Ruby did her business, while Rusty was busy exploring. Neither wanted to stay out too long this afternoon either. Still cool and very windy outside. We went in and I saw Ruby had snagged the other rawhide and was guarding both in her bed. Rusty snuggled up on his chair to relax. This evening, I met the pups inside. Ruby was dancing around by her bowl already! Haha. I got them working on dinner, then went out to feed the big kids. Rusty and Ruby joined me outside when they finished. It was raining again, so it took Ruby a little convincing to do her thing. But, she did, then raced back inside. Rusty didn't care, and was ready for a game of fetch! He got his purple ball for me, so we played out there awhile until it was time to head in.

Oscar

This afternoon my buddy was at the door to greet me. We said hi, then made our way out back. Oscar did some roaming around at first. Later on, he curled up in the grass to lounge. When he tried to go lay in the fresh dirt out there, I tried to distract him. That didn't quite work at first. He just continued to stand there and look at me funny. I grabbed his frisbee and tossed it around... Then fetched it myself a few times. Haha! Eventually, he did come over to play. We played a pretty good game of keep away for awhile. Then, his neighbor friends came out and were barking at us. Oscar had to run over and check out what they were up to. When it was time, we went in for his snack.

Waldo, Otis & Mabel

Today I opened the door and Waldo zoomed into the laundry room. He saw that it was me, then proceeded to the kitchen. He was quite the talker today! Otis joined us to wait for his yums. Waldo kept standing up against the counter and pawing towards me. "Hurry up lady, and feed me! Can't you see that I'm wasting away?" Haha. I got the boys working on that. I saw Mabel was hanging out on the bed again today. I scooped their box quick. Next, I got them some more water. As I was doing that, I saw the boys lining up in the living room. I guess they know the routine already! Haha. Mr. Spunkmeyer had some fun chasing the toys around. Waldo got in on that action a little too, but mostly he just sat and observed. Later on, I went to go see if Mabel wanted any attention. She hopped down and went under the bed, then went out to the living area and eventually hid somewhere. I guess she was feeling a bit more bashful today. I had sat down on the floor by the end of the bed to see if she'd come visit me, but Waldo was happy to get some attention instead. He sat with me for some pets.

Bella & Zoe

This morning the girls were standing at the gate, wiggling their heinies happily! We went outside right away. It was a cool and windy morning, but they didn't seem to mind. Both girls came to sit by me for some attention. Then, they were off exploring around the yard. We went inside a little early, since I was getting cold. Haha. I got the girls each a new bone. They curled up on their beds and worked on those for awhile. Before I left, I put them up for later. This afternoon, it was still windy out, but pretty nice! The girls and I went out back to hang out. I brought their leftover bones to work on. Bella was being a silly girl, having fun rolling around in the grass. Zoe was occupied with her bone most of the time. They did wander by the fence to check things out a bit though. The sun was peeking out by now, so Bella just laid in the grass to enjoy it. This evening, the girls were doing their happy wiggles at the gate. I came in and saw Bella had eaten all her breakfast from earlier. Miss Zoe was in snack mode today and had a good amount left. The girls went out back to play awhile. They had some energy and were having fun chasing each other around the yard. When it was time, we made our way inside. I got Bella her dinner and filled their water dishes. The girls each got a couple little bedtime snacks too.
