Baxter

Baxter did very well today. I came in and he met me at the door with his little heiny wagging! I hooked up his leash and we went out so he could go potty. I stayed with him a little just to give him some attention. For my second visit he came strolling out of the bedroom and was happy to see me again. We went outside and he went potty for me again. The neighbor dogs were out and he wanted to play so bad! When he was finished we went inside again and I gave him a good scratching all over!

Dakota & Benny

Today I was getting Kota and Benny ready for our walk. Kota was looking eye to eye with me while I was getting her harness on. I stopped and lightly blew on her nose and she stuck her tongue out at me! Then she just gave me lots of kisses. We took a short walk today, since Benny was getting pretty hot. When we got back home they played out in the backyard. I moved a leaf with my foot on accident and Benny hopped up in the air! Then he and I played with it for a bit. Kota was busy zooming around the yard. Kota laid out on the patio when she was ready to head back inside. We went in and goofed around a little before it was time to go. Benny brought in his blue squeaky bone and we tossed that around.

Jerrie

Jerrie was sunbathing in his spot again this morning. He came down to see me as soon as I was finished watering the plants and taking care of his things. I brushed him for a little bit and he held onto the brush to get his chin. I laid down on the floor with him and he snuggled right up with me! He rubbed his head against mine, just purring away.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let the boys out potty while I got their meds together. I went straight for the Beneful today instead of messing around with other methods. Sugar emerged from the bedroom and was ready for her yummy food! Jimmy ate all of his food and meds with no problems, but Buddy decided to leave two pills in his dish again. I got out a couple little piece of meat from the bowl Sugar was eating out of and mushed the pills into that. Buddy ate one for me, then said "No-way!" to the other. He wouldn't let me open his mouth, but I was able to squish it in through his front teeth! haha! Little booger :o) Charlie was just gabbing up a storm while I was there! I'm not sure what he was saying, but he was just chatting away. The pups all played outside after breakfast. Buddy was digging frantically under one of the tomato pots. He came over by me and his whole face was brown! Later Jimmy decided to help out by pawing at the pot too!

Hmmm... what's under here?

Let me look!

Flax

Flax was standing up on the couch to greet me when I got in the house this morning! :)  We started out on a walk right away. He decided he wanted to go for a long walk all the way around the pond and then around some other areas.  After the walk we didn't have a lot of time left, but we went inside and I got his food and water so he could have his breakfast.  He ate while I put some more treats out for him.  When he was finished, we sat in the living room for a little bit and he got his back scratching in before I left. He will be happy to see you all!

Flax

This morning Flax and I took a long walk. He actually was running on ahead of me today, showing me where he wanted to go! After awhile we headed back up to the house and sat out in the patio. Flax curled up on his bed and enjoyed the nice fresh air. He decided he wanted me to get his itchies again, so he got up and sat right at my feet. We went back inside so he could have his breakfast while I scattered his treats around the house. Tonight we went outside right away and Flax did his business. We didn't go for as long of a walk as usual. The neighbors had a bunch of people over, and Flax kept trying to go next door to see what was going on. I went to get him and had him follow me the other direction for awhile. But he was too interested in all the fun next door! We went and sat in the patio since it was nice out. Flax laid on his bed for a little bit then stood by me for his attention, switching sides every now and again. The whole time he kept listening to the noises and perking his ears up. Later we went in so he could eat his supper. He followed me around as I put out his treats and got working on them before I was finished!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let Buddy and Jimmy outside right away. Sugar didn't want to come out until I got some yummy food ready for them! Buddy and Jimmy both didn't want to take their meds for me, turning their noses up at it. I got out a container of the Beneful and mixed them in that. Jimmy found one and spit it out, so I mixed it back in. Then Buddy decided he was finished when there was still a half of a pill left. So I had to grab a piece of the food and try to get them both in his mouth. Little stinkers! haha! After they finally finished taking their meds for me, I had everyone go play outside. They got to play outside all morning. I came back this afternoon and they were ready to come back in. Sugar had some lunch, then went back in her room. Buddy curled up on his bed while Jimmy snuggled with me for awhile.

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was sleeping in his usual spot and didn't even hear me come in! I noticed his little green kitty ball has been in different places each time I come. After I finished with everything I went in to see him and he was still snoozing away. I called him and his little head popped right up, then he jumped down to see me. Today we played with his little blue kong toy! He was rolling around and chasing after it for quite awhile. After he was done playing he got pet and brushed.

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon we took another nice long walk! Benny ran his laps around the living room when I came in, and Kota was talking to me as I got their leashes on. They were happily trotting along, stopping now and again to smell things. Kota chased after a few grasshoppers and was trying to pick up everything she saw today. She got a straw wrapper stuck on her nose for a little bit. haha! Benny was getting excited at his usual doggy friend's houses. When we got back they were both tired. Benny's hot spot wasn't bothering him at all on our walk today, so that's good!

Follow the leader... or just trying to stay in the shade?

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was in his usual spot. There was a little black and white kitty in the backyard today! It was up by the patio, over by some of the flowers. As soon as I turned on the hose the little guy took off. Jerrie made his way down to see me again today after I finished taking care of my duties. He got brushed and pet for a long time. He scratched his chin on the brush again while I pet him. Today he was even rolling around on it! When I got up to leave, Jerrie started meowing at me and giving me his sad face, so I said 'Ok' and pet him a little longer. He sure knows how to do that well!
