Frankie

This evening, I flipped on the lights and Frankie ran so excitedly to see me. She plopped down at my feet and rolled over, demanding a tummy rub. I baby talked to her and she loved it. We headed outside and she was so good. She went potty for me as soon as we got to the grass. Strangely, she didn't want to sniff around like usual. She just came back by me like "Alright, let's go." We went back inside and I gave her a small treat. She was so gracious. Then she sat with me and took a nap.


Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

Both kitties appeared when I arrived this morning and followed me to get their breakfast. The pups ate theirs quickly, then I started working on cleaning up the yard. Wyatt and Harley kept themselves busy, chasing each other around. Zoey hung out on the patio, curled up in her chair. After I finished, I went to sit with her for awhile. Soon, I had a puppy pile on my lap! I was laughing so hard. They all were trying to climb up for attention, even Harley. Wyatt ended up winning the spot for a little bit. I played a little fetch with Harley before it was time to go. Tut came onto the back patio as I was letting the dogs in. I pet him for a couple minutes as he sat on the table, watching a couple birds in the yard. Jack came out the front with me and got some attention in the driveway. This afternoon was really nice out, but a bit windy. The pups didn't mind at all! All three were having a blast chasing and wrestling around with each other. Zoey got so dirty from rolling around! Wyatt found his ball and decided to roll around on that. I stayed a little longer so they could enjoy the nice afternoon a bit more. This evening it was another race for my lap! All three were climbing on me. Harley and Wyatt soon got bored with that and took to chasing each other in the yard. That gave little Zoey some time to snuggle up with me. She gave me lots of kisses! We heard a husky in the neighborhood doing his signature howling bark. Wyatt and Harley went into the yard to listen closer. I checked the doors to see if Jack was waiting to come in before I left. I didn't see him, but when I got to my car, there he was, rubbing up against the front bumper! I called him and he came running with me to go let him inside.






Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon I let the kiddos all outside to play. It was very nice out! Buddy had brought a bone out with him to work on. All three went to the side of the house to lounge around in the sun. After a little while, Jimmers came over to sit by me. When it was time to head in, they all got a treat. This evening all three pups were bouncing at my feet when I got inside! I let then all out to do their business. It didn't take long before they were at the back door, ready to come in for their potato snack. After they finished, we went back out for a bit since it was still pretty nice. The three of them huddled up on their doggie bed together. So cute! I don't think they liked the wind too much, so we went back inside. Jimmy and I played a little fetch, while Buddy laid on my lap and worked on a rawhide.



Miranda

Little Miranda and I played some fetch today. She loved how nice it was outside. She seemed so happy. Everytime I would throw a toy, she would run after it with such a huge smile on her face. When she wanted to relax, she came over and sat beside me. I gave her a big hug and lots of attention. She was all smiles the whole time.

Harley, Wyatt, Zoey, Jack & Tut

This morning I got breakfast ready for both the dogs and cats. Zoey was last to finish, so miss Harley thought she could be sneaky and try to steal her food! I caught on too quick though and got her started playing some fetch. She and Wyatt had a blast chasing around with the kong toy again. Little Zoey enjoyed some more cuddle time in the chair with me. This afternoon Jack came out from hiding in the bushes just as I was about to close the front door. I let him in and he decided to go have a bite to eat. Tut came outside to visit with us this afternoon. He sat on the grill most of the time and watched the pups chasing around. The sun was shining, so all three dogs laid out and warmed themselves. I kept Harley entertained, kicking her soccer ball for her to fetch until she got tired with it! This evening Tut came in as I was letting the pooches outside. Little Zoey danced around and gave me kisses for a little bit. I asked Harley to go get her ball, then Wyatt quickly raced out to go grab the tennis ball to protect it from her! Anytime she got in the vicinity of it, he would quickly run to grab it. What a goofy boy! I had Harley busy anyways, chasing from one end of the yard to the other after her soccer ball.




Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

The boys were right at the door when I arrived. They were both bouncing around in excitement, getting each other more and more riled up! I tried to keep them calm, as Buddy soon started coughing. It wasn't until they got their tatoes that they finally settled down! After dinner we all went outside for a little bit. It was a little cool out, so we didn't stay out too long. Inside Jimmy and I played a little fetch. Buddy hopped up by me and curled up on top of the pillows with his bone. Later, Jimmy snuggled up in my lap, giving me kisses. Everyone got a yummy bedtime snack before I left.



Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Sparkles & Blackie

Blackie was happy to see me as usual this morning! He worked on his breakfast while I let the other three outside. Next it was their turn! Sparkles came to visit with me again while they were busy eating. She was super snuggly today! Hudson got jealous when he was done eating and tried to chase her away. He then claimed my lap for awhile. Zel worked on her bone for a few minutes, then she and Gabbie curled up on the couch together. Sparkles was nearby, watching for her chance to come by me again. She was able to while Hudson snuggled with the girls for a bit. He of course, noticed soon and chased her off again. I let Hudson outside again, and had to carry the girls out because they didn't want to go back into the cold! After they went potty for me again, I let the little shivering ladies back inside right away. Blackie kept running from one side of the house to the other! He wasn't sure what door I would come out of next, so he had to race to find out. He's such a sweetie pie. I went back out to get Hudson, and saw he was frozen in a pose at the other end of the yard. He was so focused on whatever he was looking at, that he wouldn't even look at me when I called for him! I had to go out and fetch him. He was looking at the neighbor "Blackie". While I was cleaning off his paws to go in, his Blackie was nudging his nose at my arm trying to get my attention!

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.
