Zoey

This morning Zoey a sleepy girl and I had to call her to come down. She was happy to see me though! She was wagging her tail and trotting along with me to go outside. When we came in I pet her for a little bit before I left. I noticed Zoey had finished all of her food from yesterday. She followed me to the garage and gave me such a sad puppy dog face like, "Hey, where are you going? I thought we were gonna play!". Tonight Zoey was waiting at the top of the stairs when I came in. We went out so she could go potty quick, then came back in. I brought Zoey a little surprise! She knew right away that I had something for her. I brought her a little purple ball and a green squeaker toy. She got so excited and got down on her front legs and rolled the ball all over the place! She rolled it under the stairs then gave me a look like I should help get it for her. Later Zoey was carrying around the squeaker in her mouth and rolling the ball around the house with her front paws. She tried to get them both in her mouth but that didn't work! After awhile she pooped herself out and just laid by me with her ball nearby too.

All this playing makes me tired!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let the boys outside when I got there. Sugar ran for her hiding spot under the bed. I got their breakfast and meds ready, then Sugar came out and started barking. She was ready! I let the boys in and everyone ate for me. When they were all finished, we all went outside this time. Jimmy was busy in the corner by the container, trying to find little critters. Sugar and Buddy were out roaming around the yard by the fence. Jimmy suddenly barked and jumped at the box, scratching at it and made me jump! haha! Buddy came running over quickly to help him search. I brought everyone in since it's still humid out today and getting too hot with that heat index. This afternoon I came and let the boys play outside some more. Sugar wanted to stay in the nice cool house. I don't blame her! Jimmy and Buddy had some lunch when they came in. My Jimmy boy snuggled up with me for a little while before it was time to go back to bed.

Zoey

This morning I went to let Zoey out potty quick. She acted a little shy at first, but then she quickly remembered me! I took her out on the leash for the first time, just in case. Tonight I came back and she greeted me at the door with her tail wagging! She was very excited that I was back. I let her out without the leash this time and she did her business then came right back for me. When we came in I gave her her supper, and she nibbled on that while I sat with her. Zoey's tail was wagging the whole time I was with her! She walked ahead of me, shaking her little heiny and looking back at me. We tried to look around for her little sun toy but we couldn't find it. So, we sat in the living room and snuggled for a long time. I pet her and scratched her back, and in return she gave me lots and lots of kisses! We spent some more time outside and she roamed around to explore the yard for a little while.

Clovis, Snickers, Sophie & Patches

Today Patches, Snickers and Clovis were all looking in the windows from the backyard, patiently waiting for their supper! Snickers and Patches came right in while I got their food ready. I put Patches in the garage and Snickers in the bathroom with his tuna. I went out to pet Sophie and Clovis for a little bit. As soon as they finished, Patches came around the corner and cleaned up what they left. Sophie ran off to go relax in the shade. Clovis went in the grass and gave herself a bath, then she went under the other tree for some shade. I let Snickers out of the bathroom since he was finished. He walked around in the kitchen and I pet him for a bit before letting him back outside. He had some tuna stuck on his chin, but he must have felt it! He sat on the counter and used his paws to clean off his face.

Abby, Sammie, Blue & Brewster

Today the girls were happy to see me! I let them go out potty while I filled the kitty's food bowls and cleaned their litter boxes. Sammie was sitting in the papasan chair on the porch looking in at me! Blue said hi to me first, then made his way into the dining room. While I was in the kitchen, Brewster came around the corner and got his attention too. I pet the kitties for awhile, then let the girls back inside for their supper. They were both dancing around excitedly while I got their food ready. Sammie was even jumping in circles! She can jump so high! When they finished, we all went outside for awhile. I sat on the steps and they both snuggled in close to me. They both sneak attacked me with kisses! While I was petting Abby, Sammie would come over and stick her head underneath my arm so I'd have my arm around her. Then Abby would get jealous and move to the other side of me. They each took turns, wanting all the attention! When we went inside again, Brewster was sprawled out on the kitchen table and Blue was rolling around on the floor. The girls were attached to me the whole time! They're such sweetie pies!

Caleb

Caleb was happy to see me again today! We played outside for a little bit when I got there. I gave him a good tummy rub while we were out there before we started playing. He retrieved his ball for me once, then we played with a stick until he chewed that up! I got the hose out and he jumped around and chomped at the water. He dried himself off a little by zooming around in circles all over the backyard! I dried him off the rest of the way before we went inside. Caleb sure wanted to go for a walk with me today. He kept jumping up where the leash was on the counter, looking at me and crying! I felt so bad but it was just too hot out for him yet. I told him some other time we will... He grabbed his green squeaky ball for me. I haven't heard a squeaker that loud before! I had him chasing that around all over and he had me chasing him trying to get it back. He played with his puzzle toy for awhile after that until he got out all the treats. He sat with me and gave me kisses while I pet him before I put him back to bed.

Dakota & Benny

Benny looks so cute with his new haircut! He is so nice and soft too. We all went and played outside for awhile this afternoon. I played fetch with Benny until he decided he wanted to relax in the shade. Kota was busy sniffing around the tree for awhile. I'm not sure what she was looking for, but eventually she did her running around! We went in to cool down and the pups both got a nice back scratch. Benny didn't want me to have his squeaky bone, so he was very cautious of where my hand was at all times!

Maggie & Moe

This morning the girls took a little bit before they woke up to come see me. They danced around me as we walked to the back door. It was such a beautiful morning out, so we spent the whole time outside. The girls went potty, then began their chasing around. Moe went for a dip in her pool. They both took a break to come lay in the shade for a bit. I told Moe to go get Maggie, then they chased around the yard some more! They both crouched down with their little heinies in the air, and just stared at each other until one of them moved. When we went inside I filled the mini bowl and the girls had some breakfast.

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.
