Dakota & Benny

This afternoon I let Kota and Benny out back to go potty and play for a little bit. Benny brought over his bone toy, but he didn't want to give it to me! I grabbed it to throw, but he decided he was going to play tug-of-war with me instead. Once I got it away and threw it, then he was ready for more fetch and brought it back to me. Goofy boy! Kota was sniffing around the fence and in the bushes. She came over to lay in the shade under the tree for a little while with Benny. We took a short walk this afternoon since we haven't in awhile. They were pretty excited! When we got back Benny cooled off on the floor while Kota was pawing ice cubes around on the floor!

Zoey

This morning Zoey was waiting by the door for me again, with her little heiny wagging away! She went potty for me right away. When we came in she finished off what was left of her food from last night. Afterwards, she ran for her toys and was ready to play. I stayed to pet her and play for a little bit since it was our last visit together. She is such a sweetie pie! I had so much fun with her this weekend.

We're gonna play, right?

Zoey

This morning I could hear Zoey running down the stairs while I was coming in through the garage. She was wagging her whole body at me! We went outside so she could go potty. When we came in she ran for her ball right away. I pet her for a little bit before I left and she gave me that sad face again. Tonight Zoey met me at the door with her ball in her mouth, ready for playtime! I let her go potty then I sat in the kitchen with her so she'd eat some supper for me before we started playing. She nibbled on her food while I pet her back. After she was done she ran and grabbed her squeaky toy and started pawing her ball all around the house. She had so much fun with that! If she rolled it under the couch she would come running to me to get it for her, then she'd help me look under there for it and give me a big kiss when I got it out for her. She gave me lots of kisses tonight! We went outside again later and she brought her green squeaker out with us. She played some more when we came in and she got pretty tired. She laid down next to me for awhile and got a nice tummy rub! She had both her toys laying next to her. I rolled her ball a little bit away and she just stared at it for a few seconds, then jumped up and ran for it! She wags her little heiny the whole time I'm there. I love how she sort of walks sideways when she does that! We've been having lots of fun, but she still misses her little sister and she is so excited to see her tomorrow!!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon the boys went outside to play for awhile. Sugar didn't feel like coming out with us. Jimmy and Buddy were roaming around the yard today. Later Buddy came to lay down on his doggie bed in the shade and Jimmy hopped up in my lap. We went in and Buddy snacked on some lunch. Charlie bird was very talkative today, mostly just his chirping sounds, but I thought I heard his "Hello" once too.

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.
