Maggie & Moe

This afternoon the girls and I went outside right away. The girls did their usual chasing, then came to lay in the shade. Miss Moe kept laying in the empty pool to chew on her rawhide, while Maggie was busy trying to get it from her! We went in to get out of the heat and cool down. The girls were so full of energy! They were going back and forth with a tiny piece of rawhide almost the entire time. When Maggie would have it, Moe would grab on and tug on it to get it away from her. She'd give up for a little bit and zoom over to me to get her back scratched, then try again! After awhile Moe actually got it, then Maggie was tugging on it! Tonight the girls did some more chasing around in the dark out in the backyard. I don't know how they can see each other out there! Miss Moe took a little swim in her pool and laid in there for a few minutes. It was pretty nice out this evening. They laid out in the grass just where I could still see them. Moe got very wide-eyed and still like she was trying to hear something. I asked her what she was hearing, then she looked at me, barked, and dashed for Maggie! When we went in the girls both had some supper in between taking turns to snuggle with me.

Look! We're sharing!

Clovis, Snickers, Sophie & Patches

Patches was hanging out by the front door when I came today, just laying in the shade. He walked in the house while I got everyone's food ready. Clovis, Snickers and Sophie were all waiting out back for their supper! I grabbed Snickers and put him in the bathroom to eat. I went out to pet Clovis and Sophie while they ate. Patches came roaming around the corner when the others were just finishing up. They all stayed for some attention, then Clovis went off to give herself a bath, and Sophie went around front. I went in and spent some time with Snickers. He was just purring away! He talked to me and hopped up on the hamper while I pet him, then he let me know when he was finished and ready to go back out.

Caleb

Caleb was following me around the house when I got there today. We went outside to play for awhile. He fetched his ball for me a couple times, then lost interest in that. We played with a stick and he chewed it into little pieces! I got the hose all hooked up and we had fun with that again today. He chased after the spray then ran off with his squeaker toy. I turned the hose off and laid it down, then he decided he wanted that again! He went over to the hande, pawed at it and started to roll around on it! I stayed longer today to make up for the time we didn't play while mom was home, since he was so worried about you leaving without him! After you all left, Caleb ran laps around the yard carrying his blue bone as fast as he possibly could! I thought his little legs were going to fall out from under him! I turned the water misters on while we played. He stopped underneath the dripping from the ceiling to bite at the droplets. After he got all dried off we went inside. He ran around with my shoes again, little stinker! haha! I put some treats in his toy and we played with that a little before it was time to go.

Hmmm... how do I turn this thing on?!

Caleb

Caleb was happy to see me today! I let him out and he made sure to bring his blue squeaky bone with him as we went outside. He walked with me to the side of the house to get the hose. I turned it on and he just had a blast! He first tried to chomp at the water and get a drink. Then he ran around and chased after the spray and even hopped around on his hind legs trying to get it! He was one wet puppy dog! I turned it off for a little bit and he immediately started zooming around the yard! We played fetch a little bit, and of course he did some "keep away" from me. I brought out his orange puzzle toy so he could cool down and play with that while he air dried a little. I dried him off real good before we went inside. We played around with his puzzle toy... until there were no more treats in it! Then I got out his green squeaker and we did some tug of war with that!

Maggie & Moe

This morning the girls were happy to see me! We went outside to play for awhile. It was just starting to get hot out. Miss Moe decided to take a swim in her little pool to cool off! Maggie was exploring around the yard. She came around the corner and they both took off after each other! After some running around the girls came and sat on the patio for awhile. Moe took a little nap under one of the chairs and Maggie sprawled out next to me. We went inside to cool down and they came to sit by me. Moe finished the food in her little bowl so I refilled it for her, then she ate a little more! Maggie snuggled up to me and once in awhile they'd both jump up to give me kisses.

Dakota & Benny

This morning I let Kota and Benny play outside for awhile before it go hot out. Benny and I played some fetch while Kota ran a few laps around the yard. There were some workers out in front of the neighbors yard. I think one of them came by the fence and Benny could see them through it, because he suddenly started barking and running toward it! After we were done playing we went inside so Kota could have her breakfast. Benny came over by me to get his back scratched while Kota ate. This afternoon we played outside some more. Kota was hanging out by the side of the house so I went to see what she was up to. She was just looking through the fence, then started zooming around when she saw me. Benny chased after the ball that I threw for him a couple times. He started to get warm and just laid in the shade for a little bit. We went back in and chased each other around, then they did some wrestling with each other. I tossed Benny's toys for him and I watched him try to fit both his ball and his big blue squeaky bone into his mouth at the same time!

Maggie & Moe

This afternoon the girls and I went out in the backyard for a little while. Both girls were carrying around their rawhides like little cigars! Maggie put hers down then followed Moe around. "Hey I can help you with that!" They chased each other around the yard until they were too hot and wanted to go back inside. I sat on the floor by the couch with them and each picked a side to sit and snuggle up with me! Miss Moe would run to her mini bowl to grab a couple bites then come back by us. They each took turns jumping up to kiss my face! Tonight the girls zoomed to the front door to meet me as I came in! We sat outside for awhile since it was cooler out than earlier today. Maggie was playing around in the shadows. She'd suddenly appear in the light from the house, then Moe would run and chase after her! They ran around with their rawhides again and each laid down on the patio to chew on them. We went in and sat in the living room again. The girls started wrestling around in the living room next to me. Moe was rolling around and full of energy! She brought me a toy and Maggie got jealous... even though I was still petting her! She kept moving to the same side Moe was on and tried to get all of my attention on her. The girls followed me to the door as I was leaving. Moe grabbed out a different toy from her box, "Can't you stay and play some more?". Such sad little faces!

I'll take that rawhide if you don't want it...

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon I let Kota and Benny play out in the backyard for awhile. I missed my little buddies! Kota gave me a big hug and lots of kisses! She was talking to me a lot too. She did a couple laps around the yard while Benny found a ball for us to play with. He only let me throw it for him a couple times, otherwise he'd grab it before I could! It was pretty hot out and they both ended up laying in the shade by the shed under the pool ladder. We went inside to play some more. We chased each other around the living room, then Kota and Benny did some wrestling around! This afternoon I came to pick up Benny and Kota was not happy that I left her home! Poor girl cried as we were leaving. I felt so bad! I carried Benny into the building and he was quiet the whole time. He kept looking over my shoulder at the dog behind us. I had to set him down for a second, then he decided to start barking! As soon as I picked him up, quiet again. Silly boy. He did great for his vaccinations! When we got home Kota nudged him before they went outside. "Why didn't you bring me?!" Then Kota did her woo-wooing at me too! Tonight I stopped by quick to let them go potty again. I had Kota playing with her little kibbles of food before I left. She makes me laugh every time!

Gracie & Jack

This morning we all went outside for a little while when I got there. They both did a little exploring and rolling around the yard. When they were ready to go in I fed them their breakfast. Jack was waiting patiently for Gracie to finish. They came into the living room and started to wrestle around with each other some more! Jack would roll over on his back while Gracie messed around with his ears and face. He walked away to go lay down, but Gracie wanted him to keep playing so she ran and jumped at him. They chased each other around the living room and grabbed the long pink squeaker toy to play some tug-of-war! They are so funny! I gave them each a little rawhide treat before I left. Gracie was walking around on the fireplace hearth and kept looking into the glass. I think she wanted to hide it in there! Jack finished his pretty quick, then followed me to the door. Somebody wants to go for a walk again!

Treat? Yes please!

Gracie & Jack

This morning after Gracie and Jack finished their breakfast, I played fetch with Gracie. Jack laid by me and got pet the whole time. Gracie was running so fast down the hallway that she'd roll up the rug by the door! She got tired of playing with her sheep, so she excitedly brought me her little hedgehog. After awhile she decided that she wanted to play with Jack too. They started to playfully wrestle around with each other! It was so funny to watch. This afternoon after they finished their supper we played fetch some more. Gracie took little breaks to come lay across my lap upside down! She sure loves her tummy rubs. Jack was laying by me, tail a-wagging, while I pet him. On Gracie's way back with her toy, she stopped in front of Jack to crouch down. She stuck her heiny in the air and was wagging while holding her toy. She wanted him to play again, so he got up and they chased around some more. Gracie ate all of both her meals today while I waited for her. Ever since last night Jack had been wanting to take a walk again! He kept following me to the door and would get excited thinking he was coming with me. Tonight he got his wish. After they went potty out back we went for another nice long walk! We saw a huge frog sitting in the grass. Gracie ran up to check it out, then wanted to chase after him when he hopped away! I saw a little kitty sitting under a car and thought Jack might want to go chase it, but he didn't. They both walk just excellent for me!
