Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon the sun was finally shining. It was perfect out! I let the kiddos out when I got in. Sugar zoomed into Buddy's cage to search for a treat, but he had it safely tucked away in his mouth! We all headed outside and they wandered to the side of the house. Buddy tried to hide his treat, but since Sugar was following closely, he decided it was better to just eat it. Then, all three curled up and soaked up some sun. This evening they all ran out to go potty quick. After they ate, Sugar and Jimmy went back out. Buddy was busy eating, but he finally came to the door to come out with us.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon was nice and sunny out. Zeus gave me a big hug on the way outside. They all enjoyed the warm sunshine today. Baby laid out in the grass most of the time. Zeus did his exploring around the yard. Zena wandered around and checked on the other two. She would poke her nose through the fence to wiggle her little heiny at me once in awhile too. A neighbor dog came outside, which got everyone excited! They all barked at each other for a minute, then quieted down and went back to their business. Zena escaped from their side of the yard again and ran right for me! It was just time to go in, so I got her wiped off and back inside.

Frankie

Frankie was sitting just inside the door when I arrived. She saw me and immediately got into the pounce position and started wagging her tail happily. I crouched down so I could give her a hug. She ran in a circle around the couch and came back for her leash. She waited patiently for me to grab the keys, then we headed out. It had rained and there were puddles everywhere and she seemed determined to find every one of them. She dragged me right through them, I couldn't help but laugh! I let her do her business, then we headed back upstairs, careful to avoid puddles this time. She let me dry off her paws, then sat and waited for some attention. I gave her more hugs and pats. Every once in awhile she would run to the window and be a watch dog, keeping an eye out for people outside.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

All the pups were bouncing up and down by me when I walked in today. It had stopped raining for a little bit, so we all went to sit outside for awhile. The boys ran off and did some exploring. Later, Sugar and Jimmy snuggled up on their doggie bed together. Buddy was still busy exploring when it was time to head in. I started calling for him, and Charlie helped! After I would yell Buddy, then Charlie would call him. So funny! This evening I let the pups out for a little bit. It was actually kind of nice out, temperature-wise. After they finished their tatoes, Jimmy and Sugar went back out to play. Buddy hung out inside to eat some kibble. Then, he eventually wanted to go out too.

Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon Zeus and Zena were both wiggling in their cages with excitement when I walked in. I let them out and Baby met us at the back door. I had all three go into their side of the yard. They were having a blast today! All three were chasing each other around and around the yard. Well, mostly the boys were, but Zena would run up and stand in the middle to bark at them. She snuck out of her side of the fence somewhere and came running to me. She leapt into my lap and gave me kisses right away. I let her get a little attention. Since it was time to go in anyways, I wiped her paws off, then let her inside. Next it was Zeus' turn. He made me laugh because he kept putting his nose right up to mine while I cleaned his paws! There was a pretty good chance of storms forecasted for the afternoon, so I decided to keep him inside.

Miranda

Miranda was in no mood to play outside today. The grass was wet from the rain and it was cold on her little paws! She took one step off the patio, did her business, then quickly ran back to the door like "Get me out of this cold weather!" We went back in and she was so happy to be back inside the warm house. She grabbed the nearest toy and demanded I play some tug with her.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning everyone was excited to get outside, all dancing around at the back door. They each went and did their business, then quickly lined up at the door. I gave the medications first, then they each got some veggies and rice to eat. Afterwards, I played some fetch with Jimmy, while Sugar and Buddy took turns snuggling up with me. Buddy buried his face in my arm while I scratched his back. He soon climbed up to the top of the couch to curl up for awhile. This afternoon all three pups went outside. It was actually pretty nice out! They went to the side of the house to curl up in the sunlight. I let them spend the afternoon loose in the house. When I arrived this evening, the boys greeted me at the door. All three pooches ran outside while I got their evening meds ready. They came in and each licked their plate clean. Jimmy started zooming around and around the living room, running laps! Then, he got a game of fetch in with his favorite Santa paws squeaky bone. Buddy climbed up onto the couch and stood over my shoulders giving me lots and lots of kisses as I sat on the floor! Sugar wanted to go sit outside for a bit. Everyone got a treat before bedtime.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today the pups barked again, then bounced around in the kitchen until I let them out. Roxie was quite the snuggle bug today! As soon as I got outside, she was jumping up against my legs for attention. I sat down and gave her a good long pet. She's such a sweetie! Dilly and Biscuit were roaming around the yard since it was pretty nice out today. Biscuit kept coming around to check that I was still there, and of course, to get a little scratch while he was there! Dilly was having fun running from one side of the yard to the other again, along with exploring under the shed. I gave Roxy and Bert both equal time to play outside today. Roxy happily came in with me and curled up in her bed for a bit. Bert came zooming out, with a ball in her mouth, happily dancing around! She came out and visited with me a bit before she went off to do her own exploring. Everyone came in when it was time, and they all got a yummy snack.

Miranda

This afternoon Miranda waited to see who was coming in, then quickly made her way to the back door. It was actually pretty nice out today! She sat by me first and got a good heiny and back scratch. Then, she wandered off to go potty. She came right back and lounged on the patio until I asked where her toy was. She went into the yard to get one, then we played tug of war until it was time to go back in.

Wilma, Fezzik & Nikkos

Tonight the boys started bouncing up and down in their beds, singing away when I walked in! Wilma came right up to me too. As soon as I let them out, they were giving me big bear hugs! I let all three out potty right away. When Wilma was ready to come in, I let them all in so the boys could eat. They both huddled around the same bowl, taking turns to take bites. When they finished, both pups climbed halfway on my lap and were attacking me with kisses! We went outside again for a little while. Wilma snuggled up on her bed and stayed in the warm house. It was drizzling outside, so Neekers decided he wanted to go back in. I wiped all their paws, which Neekers complained about. The boys each picked a spot and curled up for awhile. We went outside again later. The boys started to get excited about something on the other side of the back fence. I grabbed the flashlight, but couldn't see what they were looking at, so I rounded them up and got them inside just in case. Fezzi really wanted to go back out and get it! They got to go back out again for awhile after cookie time. They came in and were sleepy just in time for bed. Even with it raining outside, they didn't get muddy at all tonight. I was happy to see them and get lots of kisses tonight!
