Zeus, Baxter & Zelda

Baxter met me at the door this evening. He helped me go find Zeus since he wasn't coming to my calling his name. We found him sleeping in the front room. He slowly got to his feet and we all went outside. He seems to be moving a lot slower than I last saw him, poor old boy. But he sure is a happy guy, especially when he gets his ears rubbed! I got Baxter's drops in and got him out before he started shaking his head. He stretched as he walked toward me, then stretched a little bit further to paw at my legs for me to pet him! I went to fill their food bowl and miss Zelda came into the garage to say hi. I closed the garage so she stays nice and warm for the night. The boys and I stayed outside a little longer since it was still kind of nice out. When we went in they took turns having some supper while the other got ear rubs and back scratches!

Dakota & Benny

Yesterday Kota and Benny were excited to go for their walk. After I got their leashes put on, Kota stood on her hind legs to check out the new wreath hanging on the front door! It was very nice out. They actually got hot on their long walk! It was pretty quiet though. Not too many dogs were out for Benny to say hi to. Today was much cooler than yesterday, so they were much more comfortable. Benny showed me his ball while I got his collar on, and he even snuck it outside on me! We took our new longer route that we've been doing lately and Benny saw lots of new friends! He was super excited about that. Kota went both on our walk today and had normal stool.

Caleb & Charlie

Caleb was happy to see me this afternoon! He immediately rolled over when I let him out for a belly rub. He was almost permanently attached to my leg the rest of the way to the backyard! He went potty quick, then gave me a big bear hug. We went inside to go find little brother Charlie. They goofed around for a bit, then moved into the kitchen. Charlie hopped up on one of the chairs and hung off of it, swinging his paws at Caleb. It was so nice out, so Caleb and I played outside some more. We tugged back and forth with he snake toy, then chased after the big purple ball. Charlie was content watching us. Back inside, Caleb and I played fetch with some of his toys. Once in awhile Charlie would zoom over from the table and sneak attack Caleb! Charlie even joined in, swatting at the toys or sitting nearby and watching it fly overhead. One time he sat on his hind legs and tried to catch the ball with both front paws! Either it knocked him over or he chickened out when Caleb came barreling directly at him. It was hilarious!

Dakota

I missed my Benny boy today, since he didn't come running up to see me. I hope he gets better soon, poor little itchy boy. Kota was happy to get out and go for our walk this afternoon. She talked to me the whole time until we got going! We took an even longer walk today and it was so nice out. She met another person in the neighborhood that said she was the most beautiful dog he'd ever seen! He pet her for a second and she gave him kisses for the compliment. She stopped to stare at Benny's friends, like something was different this time... no Benny boy! She even hopped along where she usually does with Benny at his favorite houses. She got to run around the backyard for a couple minutes after we got home.

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon Benny did a big stretch when I came in the door, "OK, now I'm ready!". I got them both leashed up and away we went. Benny decided to have some fun jumping around in a pile of leaves! He nearly disappeared! We took a little detour on our route today and went the furthest we have so far. They were excited to see that we were going a different way they hadn't been before! We passed by a little girl outside with her mom. She got so excited when she saw the puppies!

Dakota & Benny

Today we had a gorgeous day out for a long walk. It was quiet out again, but Benny had fun trying to chase after cars that passed by us. Some leaves were blowing around that they chased after. There was even a bird that swooped down next to us and under a parked car. Kota tried so hard to go after it! When we got home Kota and Benny got to spend a little extra time out in the backyard to play. Kota was pooped from the walk and running around, so she lounged comfortably in the shade.

This afternoon Kota & Benny were excited to get on their way. We got our long walk in before the rain sprinkles showed up. Benny hopped into a pile of leaves today and got a big leaf stuck on his beard! He walked around with it for a little bit before it finally fell off. It was a pretty quiet day for us. Not many of Benny's friends were out. When we got back home they got to run around in the backyard for a little while too.

Chico & Chi-chi

HThis morning the pups greeted me at the door. They had their food all piled on the floor again! We went outside to play for awhile. Chico did his little bunny hops out to the back of the yard. Chi-chi zoomed around for a little bit with him, then came to me for some attention. Every once in awhile Chico would run up to us for some too! He chased around with the neighbor dog again for a little while. He even ran to the back of the yard and pulled up one of the tall branches that were growing through the fence! He trotted around with it, showing off. It was four times the size of him! I laughed so hard. Chi-chi and I went back inside since she was getting chilly. I cleaned up their food before I left and Chi-chi helped me. This afternoon their food was still in the feeder, yay! They must have picked out all the good stuff. They were anxious to get outside and play! It was pretty nice out this afternoon, so even Chi-chi had a blast running around and exploring. They saw a kitty on the opposite side of the fence, so they both had to run up and say hi. They were zooming around back and forth across the yard, under the porch and up to me for some back scratches. I let them play a little longer this afternoon since it was so nice out. Chico would've stayed out all day if he could!

Chico & Chi-chi

This morning Chico and Chi-chi greeted me at the front door. They raced me to the back door to go play in the backyard. It was a little chilly out yet this morning and poor little Chi-chi was just shivering away! Chico wasn't even phased. He was busy bouncing around the yard and running with the neighbor dog along the fence. Chico went potty near me and started flinging leaves at me with his back feet! Silly boy! Chi-chi and I went inside so she could warm up. She started crouching down and chasing with me! Chico heard us and wanted to come play too. This evening the pups heard me and started barking while I got the mail. They were ready to play as soon as I got inside! I noticed that they had pulled all the food out of their container and had it in a pile on the floor. We went outside and Chico started leaping like a little bunny as soon as the door opened! He looked up at the roof over the patio and started barking. I'm not sure what he saw, but he did it again later! Chi-chi was more comfortable this evening and even chased after Chico! We headed back inside so I could pick up their food. As soon as I got it all back in, Chico began nosing through and pulling it out again! I saw there was another kind of food in the bottom that he was searching for. We chased around some more before it was time to go.

Dakota & Benny

This morning I let the pups out in the backyard to go potty and play for awhile. They both raced around the yard a few times. Benny and I played a little fetch (when he'd give me the ball hehe) while Kota was busy investigating by the shed. She must have seen something under there! We came in so Benny could get his meds and Kota could work on her breakfast. Benny had to run back out quick to get us his ball. I tossed Kota's kibbles around for them to fetch for a bit. Later after she finished breakfast all wrestled around! This afternoon we went for our long walk. It was pretty nice out, so we saw lots of people out and about. Kota was finding treasures in the grass while Benny was people watching and saying hi to his friends. When we got home, they ran around in the backyard for awhile. This evening they were happy to run around in the backyard some more! When they came back in, we played fetch with food kibbles again. Kota was leaping in the air, flipping around in circles, and zooming across the room to get them! She tried to make sure Benny didn't get any that were near her. Benny brought his ball over and snuggled with me while I got his itchies for him. Later they chased each other in circles around the living room! Kota took a little break to lay on the tile and cool down from all the playing.
