Chelsea

Tonight the blinds were shifting quickly back and forth as sweet Chelsea girl was peeking through at me!! She stopped me at the door for a hug, then we made our way to the kitchen. She worked on her dinner while I sat nearby. Then, it was time for her favorite thing! I grabbed her leash and we went on a long walk. The air was just starting to cool down, perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. She stopped here and there tonight to sniff at spots in the grass. When we got home, I tossed her ball for her. She ran after it once, but really... she just wanted a treat! We sat in the living room and she got a little tummy rub. Then, she got up and laid by the kitchen. I came to sit by her and she just gave me this sad, pouty face, "Can I have my treat now... pretty please?!". She knows how to tug my heart strings. I made her wait a little longer, which only got her more excited! Finally, she ran into the kitchen and got her bedtime snack.

Bailey & Daphne

Miss Bailey gave me her big hug when I got inside tonight. Her tail was wagging a mile a minute! I love Daphne's cute new haircut! The girls ran outside to do their business. Bailey was right back at the door when she finished. She came in and worked on her dinner quick, while Daphne was still playing outside. Bailey went back out for a few more minutes. The girls both came in and got what Bailey was so excited for.... a treat! I gave her a little rawhide and Daphne a pupperoni. Daphne snatched hers up and took it behind the recliners to eat up quick. Then, she raced out and hugged my leg while I pet her. She zoomed back and forth between me and her safety spot. Bailey was quite playful tonight too! She crouched down on her front legs and would "roo-roo" at me. We all went back outside for a little while. Daphne was just having a blast! She raced circles around the yard and I even heard a few little growls out of her as she went around. Silly girl! When it was time for bed I had to go get her, she was having so much fun. I gave the girls each one more treat before bed.

Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning Blackie was bouncing around in the back room when I got in. He followed me to turn on a couple lights. The girls hung their legs over the back of the couch for a quick pet. While Blackie worked on his food, the girls ran over for some attention. Katie did some tricks for me and they both gave me kisses. Blackie went outside to do his business after he ate, and the girls licked his plate. He came racing back in and hopped in my lap! It was so cute! I took the girls for a nice long walk next. We saw a short-haired little Blackie look-alike running around outside! The girls kept watching him as we went along. Their Blackie was safe at home, waiting for our return. We all curled up on the couch together until it was time to go.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

Today Michael was much more comfortable coming up to me right away. We went outside and I hooked him on his leash. Lucy was singing me her song while I walked over to the donkeys. Kisses and Tinkerbell came walking up right away, looking for their snacks in my hand. Coco was cautious, but she too got her treat. Tink was following me around closely while I had the food bucket! She let me pet her forehead for a minute before she started on dinner. When I got back up front, Michael knew what was coming next! He was bouncing around excitedly. We went in and got his dinner while I got started on Hailey's stuff. I didn't see her again today, but I peeked around at chairs she could be laying on. Hopefully tomorrow! Uno was very friendly and came to visit me when I opened the door. I made sure to give him his favorite cranberries before I left! Matilda and Elliot were snuggled together so cutely in their cage when I walked in. They curiously sniffed at me while I cleaned up their bed. Matilda was a little angel again while I cleaned her poor eye up. She and Elliot enjoyed working on their carrot while I filled their water bottles and got one for Uno. Sampson was looking in the window at me each time I filled a bottle. He and Lucy were excited for a little attention when I went back by them!

Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning the girls sat and gave me kisses as I scratched their tummies. We waited for Blackie to finish his food, then Suzie proceeded to lick his plate clean. I noticed the girls hadn't eaten much of their food from yesterday, so I went in there and called for them. Only Suzie came in by me (Blackie did too) and she seemed a little nervous. As I sat there with her while she ate, I figured out what it was! I had moved the beeping smoke detector out to the garage so it wouldn't bother them. Well... I could still hear it! So I took the towels out there and buried it in between them. I didn't hear it again after that. I took one of the food bowls in to Katie so she could work on some food too. We spent the rest of the time sitting on the couch all together. This evening everyone came to greet me when I came in. After Blackie finished his dinner, I took the girls for a walk. We took a longer one again to make up for this morning. They bounced around in the living room after we got back. Blackie was so excited! He raced to the couch to wait for me. Then he claimed my lap and was being a sassy boy, not wanting to share me with the girls. They figured it out and moved to the opposite side of me though. When it was time, I got them each a bedtime snack.

Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

Today I met Michael at the front door and let him smell me for a minute. He didn't want me to pick him up just yet. Instead, I walked him out holding his collar. He went potty while I tended to the donkeys. Tinkerbell came right up to me to say hi! Surprisingly, they each took a treat from me. Tink was following me around closely. Kisses hopped right up to wait for dinner. Next, I went back to feed Michael his dinner. I took care of Hailey and started in by Uno until he finished. Then, he trotted along behind me to go back outside. Uno was very curious and hopped up by my lap as I cleaned the cage. I think Uno was more looking for those cranberries than anything! Next it was time to see Matilda and Elliot. Matilda was such a good girl as I cleaned her eye up. Such a sweetie! I let Michael back inside, then went to visit with Lucy and Sampson for a minute. Lucy danced around me excitedly. On my way out I gave Michael one last pet on the head.

Frankie

This evening Frankie quickly ran out of the hallway to see me. She plopped down by my feet so I could get on her collar and leash. We headed outside so she could go potty next. It was really chilly out, so she didn't dawdle. When we got back in, she got a nice treat. Then we relaxed on the floor and she got a nice tummy rub and gave me lots of kisses.

Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning the girls came quietly running up to me with their tails wagging like crazy! Blackie ate his breakfast as the girls took turns getting pet. Suzie tried to sneak around me casually a couple times to go by Blackie's plate. I was on to her though! After Blackie finished, everyone bounced around as I grabbed the leashes. The girls and I took a nice long walk this morning. We took a different route today. We had to turn around at one point because a couple little Chihuahuas were trying to follow us! They were good and stayed in their yard though. This evening the ladies came over and were lavishing lots and lots of kisses on me! They knew what was coming after Blackie licked his plate clean. Well, actually Suzie did. Then, we headed on our way! After we got home I sat on the couch and Blackie claimed my lap right away. The girls sat with us for a bit, then they wandered off to bed. Everyone got a yummy treat before I left!

Miranda

Miranda peaked around the door quietly when I arrived to say hi. She grabbed her red toy and headed for the backdoor. We went outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Miranda ran around for a bit, then layed down to soak up some sun. She loved sunbathing when it was so nice out.

Frankie

When I arrived this evening, Frankie ran to the door excitedly to say hello. She quickly sat down so I could put on her collar. Then we headed out. She snooped around the grass for awhile until she found a place to take care of her business. She ran upto me when she was finished, and we headed back inside. I gave her a couple yummy chicken treats as a small snack. I sat down and she crawled on my lap, demanding I cuddle with her. She was such a sweetie.
