Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

The little ones got to spend the afternoon outside today! I helped Mattie up so she could go out. I had to lift her all the way up and let her try to stand a couple times before she got it. When she walked out, she was pretty wobbly on her feet. I followed her to make sure she was getting around ok. She got a drink out of the bucket by the house and then laid down for a bit. Buddy coughed once and did the hacking again tonight. I got their meds and supper ready, then went back out to check on her. I got her up again and led her back toward the house. She didn't want to come back inside! I think maybe she slipped and the floors are making her nervous again. After I finally got her inside, she laid down right away, so I brought her a food bowl and filled a small bowl of water for her. I sat down and stayed with her and gave her attention while she ate and then rested. Poor baby girl! Hopefully she will have a better day tomorrow.

Dakota & Benny

I parked across the street today, since the fence guys were there. Then I noticed Benny's blue ball was laying by the curb in front of my car! Wonder how it got there... I brought it in for him, so he was pretty happy about that! He was zooming around the living room in circles until I let Kota out! You were right, she was pretty talkative today! They both barked oh so ferociously (haha) at the guy working outside, and he just laughed! It was really nice out again for our walk. Benny was actually pretty quiet for most of the way today. He did bark at a couple of his favorite houses though. When we got back inside I gave them some ice cubes again, and Kota really liked that! Benny heard the guys working in the backyard and wasn't too happy! I think he might have seen them through the blinds or something too, so he had to let them know he was going to protect his house!

This is my spoiled rotten little husky! :) She's tiny like Kota too.

Pheonix, Cole & Oliver

Pheonix and Oliver were waiting at the door for me this morning. They followed me around to their water bowl, but no Cole! I searched for him and found him sleeping under the dining table. I called his name a couple times, then he finally woke up! Sleepy head! I took them all outside with me for awhile. They all stayed outside today for the most part, until they all lined up for their yum yums! Cole and Oliver explored in the yard while Pheonix sprawled out and soaked up the sun. They all took turns coming over by me for some attention.

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

There was a lot going on this morning so the puppies were all very excited! Jym was there getting ready to leave when I came in. Buddy coughed once and did the hacking at the end, but I think it was due to all the excitement. I let Buddy and Jimmy out to go potty. Mattie and Sugar didn't feel like it I guess. After the boys came back in I got their breakfast and meds ready. Mattie got up and had a drink while she waited. They were all staring at me and waiting for me to put the bowls down! Mattie ate a good amount, and even protected her bowl!

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were happy to see me again for the third day in a row! Kota was wooing at me the whole time! We went for our usual long walk today since it was just so nice out. They were both hopping along at first since they were so excited. Benny started to get pretty tired after we got about half way. I know because he was even too tired to bark at his usual houses! He did save up enough energy for the last one though, where he usually zooms along the fencline with the little dogs on the other side! When we got back I got them some cool fresh water and checked to see if you had ice cubes. My Nikita likes them for treats, so I thought I'd give them one. I think they weren't quite sure what to do, so they both dropped them on the floor and looked at them for a minute. So, instead I just put them in their water bowl so they wouldn't melt all over the floor. Then Kota started grabbing them all out! I put them back in and put some in her bowl in her kennel too. After she went in, she would stick her whole nose in the water to grab them out! Mine does that sometimes too! It's so funny. Then she finally started eating them after she fished them out.

Pheonix, Cole & Oliver

The boys were all watching me through the window while I was talking to the city guys outside. So when I finally came in they were brimming over with excitement! I let them all out right away and it was so nice out already. They lined up for their yum yums as soon as they finished doing their business. The rest of the time they spent outside, exploring and enjoying the weather! Cole had some lunch, and I think he decided it was a little too windy out for him, so he hung around just inside the door. Pheonix laid out in the grass and was smelling the wind for a long time. Oliver came running over to me for attention, and kept going inside to check on Cole.

Dakota & Benny

Kota, Benny and I decided to take a little shorter walk today. We took one of our older routes. Benny of course had to mark all the mailboxes again! haha! He's so cute strutting around with his new haircut! I think he thinks he's more brave now. He ran up toward a couple of the houses today with dogs in the back, and giving them his big bark. We went and played in the backyard for the rest of the time after Kota and Benny got a big drink in the house. Benny was chasing around with the neighbor dogs along the fence. Kota was exploring for awhile, so Benny had to see what she was up to. She was fascinated with this bush! I don't know what she thought was in there, but she sure tried to get it! Benny noticed across the street a lady was loading her dog up in the car, so he got excited. After he couldn't see the dog anymore, he noticed there was a ball sitting next to him! He picked it right up and started running around with it!

Pheonix, Cole & Oliver

The boys were happy to see me today! I think little Oliver missed me, because he was by me a lot wanting me to pet him. I see he got his surgery! I know who didn't miss me... Pheonix! No just kidding, he was following me everywhere and giving me tons of kisses! It was really nice out this morning, so we spent most of the time outside. The boys wandered around, and did their business. They were so excited for their yum yums! After awhile Pheonix just laid in the grass and just enjoyed the nice weather. Cole and Oliver were either exploring in the yard or coming to me for attention.

"Can I have my yum yum now pretty please??"

Dakota & Benny

Benny is so handsome with his new haircut! I'm sure that'll help him cool down quicker after our walks! Poor little guy gets so pooped. It was really nice out today for our walk. Kota was watching a bird that was flying from house to house with us! She really wanted to go get him. Everyone had their dogs out in their yards I think today, so Benny was super excited! After we got back Kota had some lunch and Benny waited for me to get his fresh cool water. He came over by me and rolled over to get his tummy rubbed! I think he really likes his haircut. He was pretty tired still, and went and laid on the tiles to help him cool down. I'm not sure if he's going to be able to handle the walk if it gets too much hotter out! Maybe we'll have to cut them a little shorter and spend the rest of the time playing in the backyard where he can have some water. He's such a cutie! :)

Mattie, Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Thanks for the cheesecake! It was sooo good! :) Mattie was up and ready to go outside when I got there tonight. She looks really good tonight and had a bit of energy! She seemed comfortable and was getting around well. I got their meds and supper ready. They were all excited to eat! I brought a bowl over to Mattie so she wouldn't have to get up. When the little ones were done, Mattie decided to get up and have some more dry food. Buddy found a rawhide and was trying to find a place to lay down with it that the other two couldn't get at him. He didn't cough at all tonight. Mattie stood at the end of the counter and looked at me like she wanted something. I asked her "what?" a couple times and she kind of started to get playful! She danced around a little and got excited. If she could get down on her front legs with her heiny in the air, I think she would've! Later I gave her a big tummy rub. Jimmy was trying to steal my attention away! I gave them all a treat before I put them to bed.
