Maycie & Luke

This morning Maycie and Luke hurried to eat their breakfast so we could go out and play! I had put Luke's ball away in the cupboard last night so he wasn't getting water everywhere after dunking it in his bowl. He knew right where it was! Instead of waiting by the door with Maycie, he made sure I got his ball down first. Maycie did some sniffing around by the shed this morning. She rolled around in the grass a bunch and even did her little army crawl! Tonight when I let them out it had just started to rain. They didn't seem to mind! Luke and I played fetch as usual. Maycie helped him and chased around for the ball too. I found her a little stick that I threw. She had stolen his ball and tried to get both in her mouth at the same time! Eventually Luke got the stick and chewed it into little pieces as quickly as he could. He was happy as long as he had something!

Gracie & Jack

Gracie and Jack met me at the door this afternoon. Gracie stood against my leg and gave me lots of kisses! I let them go potty quick before I fed them their supper. I read the note about Jack's glyco flex chews. Gracie was a good girl and ate all her supper right away for me! When they were finished we went in the living room to play and give them some attention. Gracie came over to me and rolled over for a belly rub! I went by Jack to pet him too, and Gracie brought over her little sheep for me! She was getting so excited to play with me that she started to zoom all around the living room! I started to pet Jack and found out he likes his ears rubbed. He started to lean into my hand and make little sounds like "Oooh that feels good!". I let them stay out for awhile later this evening. When I came back later to let them in again, they were both waiting for me on the patio. Gracie was so excited again and began to run around. I was sitting by Jack behind the couch and she ran right up to the top and looked down at me! She got her little sheep again, so I tossed that for her a little. She eventually curled up on the top of the couch with her sheep and looked so comfy. Jack wandered off and laid in the dining room before I left.

Maycie & Luke

This morning Maycie & Luke ate their breakfast while I watered plants and fed Chuck. They finished before I did and started crying to go play! Maycie was pretty calm this morning and spent most of the time exploring around the yard. She was crawling around behind the bush that's against the fence! Luke of course was only interested in playing fetch! He took a couple breaks again in the shade since it was pretty hot out already. Tonight when I came some storms were starting to roll through. We were able to get all of our playtime in before it started to rain though! Maycie grabbed Luke's ball once and pranced all over the yard with it. He'd bark at me, then at her, and then make a run for it! Once he got it back, we played fetch for a long time since it cooled down quite a bit. They both would stop and look at the sky every time they heard it thunder. Maycie started running from tree to tree and would look up and stare at them! I could hear a screeching sound come from one that she stopped at. When it was time to go, they were ready to go in for the night.

Maycie & Luke

This morning after breakfast we all went out in the backyard to play. Luke was ready for his game of fetch! Maycie took his ball this morning and had him chasing around again. When she was making a circle around the pool a big black cricket hopped out in front of her. She immediately dropped the ball, crouched down and followed it! It was pretty hot out this morning already, so even Luke took breaks on his own in the shade. I have been keeping their bowls outside filled with water since they are running around so much out there. I make Luke take it easy once in awhile too in this heat, otherwise I don't think he'd ever stop! Tonight we got some more fetch in. Maycie found a little stick that I threw for her too. Once in awhile she'd chase after Luke and grab at his ankles! After Luke got the ball, he made a couple big circles, drop his ball and started sniffing around like maybe he found something... but then he'd pick his ball back up and come trotting back for me to throw it again. Maycie was rolling around in the grass tonight. One time she laid down and her front half disappeared! She must have been checking out one of the holes out back.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon I let everybody out. Sugar and Buddy got a drink before coming outside. Jimmy spent most of the time in the corner by the storage bin. He sure knows there's something back there! Sugar sat out in the sun for a little bit, then moved under the tree for some shade. Poor Buddy's allergies seemed to be bothering him today. He kept itching and chewing at himself. He was coughing a little bit this afternoon too. Everyone spent some time over by me too before we all went back inside.

Maycie, Luke & Chuck

This morning after they went potty, they had their breakfast right away. I paid a visit to Chuck this morning. He was hungry too! He was following my hand around as I got his breakfast out for him. I could hear Maycie and Luke were both finished and ready to go play! Maycie was teasing Luke again and stole his ball from him. At one point I though she was going to bury it! Tonight they started barking as they heard me come through the door. They were anxious to get out and play some more! Maycie jumped up a few times to give me some kisses. She stole Luke's ball again on him, but didn't keep it and tease him as long. He was barking at me like he wanted me to do something! I tried but she'd pick it up and run from me too!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon the boys went to play outside for a little bit. Buddy brought out a little rawhide, so he laid in the grass and chewed on that for a bit. Jimmy thought he found something in the corner and started scratching at the storage bin! Buddy came right over to help. I moved it to see what they were excited about, but all I could see moving was a little caterpillar! When we went back in Buddy had some lunch. He started digging in the bowl, then I'm not sure what he was doing but it sounded like he was singing back and forth with Charlie! Tonight everybody went out to go potty quick before they had their supper. Jimmy actually turned his nose up at the cheese tonight! He never gives me issues, but I think he already knew I had the good stuff up on the counter! Everyone played outside some more after they were done eating.

Harvey

Today I let Harvey go potty right away, then he was ready to come back inside. It was very hot out today! He was a lazy boy this afternoon for a little while and just wanted to lay down. He started to get itchy again today and when he was finished trying to get them all himself, he came over by me so I'd scratch his back and belly. Then he was ready to play! He chased his tennis ball around in the living room, then rolled around and chewed on his rope. I grabbed one end and we played some tug-of-war. We went back outside again before it was time to go. He crawled around behind the bushes on the side of the house! After, he stood in the corner again and waited for his doggy friends on the other side of the fence, but they weren't outside.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Tonight everyone was ready to go outside for me when I got there. Jimmy came and sat in my lap for a little bit before running off to the corner of the yard to check things out with Buddy. When Sugar was ready to go back in, I had the boys come in for supper and their meds. I let the boys play out in the backyard again when they were finished. Sugar and I snuggled by the couch. Oh just fyi, there is a big black wasp-looking thing making a brown tubular nest in the top corner by the patio door!

Can we go play some more?

Maycie & Luke

This morning after Maycie and Luke went outside to go potty, they came back in for breakfast. They were busy eating while I went out and watered the plants. Luke made sure to keep his ball close the whole time. He finished his food before Maycie did, and he just couldn't wait to get outside to play! We all went outside again for awhile. Maycie wandered around while we played fetch. When it was time to go in, Luke followed me into the garage and we waited for Maycie. Just as she was walking in, Luke quickly ran out. Then he came back in and Maycie went out! They kept switching back and forth on me a few times until I finally grabbed Maycie's collar and made her stay by me. So funny! Tonight Luke was jumping up and down ready for some fetch outside. After I threw the ball a couple times, Maycie decided to steal the ball from Luke! She made him chase her all around the yard. He was not a happy camper! She stole it a couple other times in between her exploration around the shed and fence.
