Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

This morning the kitties were dancing around my feet, ready to go outside. They ran outside while I was letting the pups out. Harley, Wyatt and Zoey got busy working on their breakfast while I cleaned up the yard a bit. Afterwards, Harley got some fetch time in. Wyatt had fun chasing her around again, as she played keep away with the kong toy. So, while they were keeping each other entertained, I spent some one on one time with Zoey. She curled up in the chair with me and snuggled up to keep warm. She gave me plenty of kisses in return for attention. This afternoon Tut hung around with us in the backyard while the pups played. Wyatt found the tennis ball and kept a close paw on that almost the whole time! Harley kept me busy kicking her soccer ball around for her. She made me laugh when she was kicking it around with her paws! Little Zoey spent some time laying out in the sun, then she curled up on her chair on the patio. As soon as I opened the door this evening, Jack jumped outside just before I closed it behind me. It definitely took me by surprise! I went over and let the puppies outside. Wyatt and Harley couldn't stop jumping up to say hello and give me hugs. They finally went and took care of their business. I played some soccer with Harley after that. Then I noticed Wyatt and Zoey were all cuddled up on the couch in the sunroom. I went in to join them and Harley wanted to steal all the attention. I sat with the three of them and got smothered with kisses. They seemed like they were about ready to go in, so we headed inside for a treat before bedtime. Once all the puppies were in their beds, Tut came out to see me.




Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

Blackie's tail started going as soon as he saw me this morning. I pet him a little and got him his breakfast quick. Inside, I got the little ones out and let them out to potty. When we got in, they got to work on their breakfast too. Meanwhile, I saw Sparkles was sitting on the little shelf under the table. She came out and started rubbing up against the wall, wandering over for some attention. After the pups finished eating, they all huddled up on the couch together. It was chilly out this morning! Later we headed outside again for them to go potty once more. Blackie came running to spend a little time with me while they were busy. The girls soon were shivering at the gate, ready to come inside again. When I arrived this evening, Blackie ran upto me excitedly and said hello before I headed inside. I let Hudson out, then the girls. They all ran around the yard with so much energy. Blackie even decided to join me while I watched them. They lined up by the gate once they were done. The girls were even shivering a bit from the cold wind. I got them all back inside for dinner. It only took them a minute to gobble it all up. After that, it was play time. Zel started chewing on her favorite bone. Hudson and Gabbie wrestled all over the living room. After they calmed down a bit, Zel came over and wanted to snuggle, while the other two got jealous and joined. It was a puppy pile!

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Tut & Jack

<p>This morning I let everyone out, then got their breakfast ready. Tut was following me around, ready to head outside with us. As soon as Harley finished her breakfast, she raced off to go fetch me her ball. I kicked that around for her a little bit. Then, while she played I worked on cleaning up the yard. Harley could barely wait for me to finish. Tut watched me too! This afternoon was pretty nice out again. Wyatt came over to snuggle up with me a bit. Then, while Harley was busy chasing her soccer ball, I threw the tennis ball for Wyatt too! They had fun chasing each other around awhile, when Harley decided that tennis ball was way more fun. She's so silly! So, Wyatt just laid on the ball and rolled around on it so she couldn't get it. Little Zoey came to visit with me awhile too this afternoon. She had to dodge the racing pups a couple times! When it was time, we headed inside and I got them each a snack. This evening both Tut and Jack were sitting next to each other in the driveway. Jack started lovingly rubbing up against the house when he saw me get out of the car. Both kitties ran with me to the front door to come in. Guess they sure don't like the cold! Harley and I played with her soccer ball for a little bit. Wyatt had fun chasing her around some too. Little Zoey was a bit chilly and stayed huddled up on the chair most of the time tonight. Everyone was all cozy in the warm house before I left for the night.




Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

This evening Blackie came stretching his way out of his comfy bed to see me! I stopped to pet him a little before going in to see the others. I let the little ones outside to do their business quick. Blackie came running around the side of the house and was happy to keep me busy giving him attention! After they finished, we headed inside for dinner. It was a bit chilly out tonight, so we played inside when they had licked their bowls clean. I sat on the floor by Zel, who was busy gnawing on her bone. Gabbie came running over and jumped in my lap. Then Hudson hopped up on the couch and stood on my shoulders to sniff my hair! The pups all snuggled up with me for awhile. At one point, they had all huddled on the couch together. So cute! We all went out so they could go potty once more before bed. The girls did their thing and were right back at the gate, wanting to get out of the cold! I tucked them all in, then went to visit with Blackie once more.




Buckley, Chloe, Tizzy, JR & Bootsie

This afternoon Bootsie stayed curled up in his little bed while the pups all raced out to see me. They zoomed out the back door and ran to the other side of the yard. Then, they all huddled at their favorite tree for awhile. I threw a squeaky toy for JR, but he didn't feel like bringing it back to me! He did play with it the rest of the time though, giving it a few squeaks whenever he'd think of it. At one point, everyone got excited and ran from one side of the front fence to the other, barking away. I went to see what they were so worked up about and couldn't see anything. Must have been a squirrel! Their neighbor friend out back came outside too, so they zoomed over and howled with each other for a little bit. Everyone took turns visiting with me today for some attention. When it was time, we headed in to see Bootsie and get their snacks.




Jezebel & Biscuit

Bert likes showing me a new toy every time I come! Today she had a white squeaky dog to bring outside with us. She did a little running around when she got out, scooping up different toys along the way. Biscuit sat and sniffed other dogs on me for a little bit. Then, I threw a ball and he raced to get it before Bert could! She preferred carrying around her little purple spider today anyways. I threw that for her a few times when she'd bring it over. I got them each a treat to enjoy while we were playing outside. Later, they both were having fun rolling around in the grass together.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon Zeus and Zena got excited as I came in to let them out. Zeus gave me a big hug at the door, then bounced off into the backyard.
Zeus and Zena joined Baby, who was happily wagging his tail. They had fun running around and exploring. Zena liked the warm sunshine. Zeus chilled on top of the dog house again for awhile. He startled me one time when he leapt off the top, because it rattled the dog house loudly! When it was time to head inside I took Zeus and Zena out one at a time and cleaned off their paws. While they were inside I refilled Baby's water dish and gave him a little attention quick.




Oliver & May

This morning after the pups ate their delicious breakfast, they decided to gang up and monkey pile on me! They attacked me with kisses and everything! I was laughing so hard. Then Oliver kept doing that thing where he shoves his nose in my hair. May was just really excited, and jumping up on my lap excitedly, demanding my attention. After that, May grabbed her little fox toy and started playing with it. Oliver thought it was a good idea and grabbed the next nearest toy and shaking it. They chewed on their toys for a good while. This afternoon they were lined up behind the door when I arrived. May made her way around Oliver so she could jump up and give my hand kisses. They followed me to the kitchen and I gave them each a treat. They took them graciously and wandered off. Then they came back and it was attack of the smooches again! Then Oliver grabbed the fox toy, shook it, then launched it at me! This evening they were waiting patiently inside the door for me again. I came in and they anxiously followed me around while I got their supper ready. They quickly ate up every kibble. Then it was time for more kisses. When May got bored, or tired, she wandered off to the bedroom to take a nap. Oliver stayed with me in the living room for some loving. He curled up into a tiny ball and put his head on my lap, and went to sleep. Then before I had to go, Oliver jumped up and gave me a huge hug. He's almost the same height as me when he stands on his hind legs! Then I said goodbye to May too.



Sarge

This afternoon I let Sarge out and he immediately jumped up and gave me a smooch. I tried to keep him calm until we got outside. Then the first thing he does is roll around in the grass and get all dirty. He stopped playing around to go potty, then ran over to give me more kisses. We headed back in so I could give him his food. He gobbled it up extremely fast. Then I made sure he got a drink before going back to bed.


Jezebel & Biscuit

The pups were happy to see me this afternoon. Bert wasted no time to find a toy to show me! Today it was the big hedgehog that she pranced around with. She brought that out, but found a ball that was more interesting. I played fetch with Bert and Biscuit for awhile, throwing them each a different toy. I picked up the hedgehog and squeaked it. Biscuit came running right over! I guess he really likes that toy. He and I played some tug of war, while Bert was busy playing with her ball. We headed inside with a couple minutes left to snuggle up together before it was time to go.
