Bella & Zoe

This evening Bella was bouncing up and down when I arrived. She followed me to the kitchen so I could let Zoe out. They were both so eager to go outside. I let them out, and only a few minutes later, Bella was scratching at the door, ready to come back in. I cleaned up Zoe's area a bit. I refilled their food and water bowls. For some reason Bella decided to drink from Zoe's seconds after I filled it. After that, I gave them both a treat. They sat so still and their eyes were wide with anticipation. Then they followed me back to the living room for some attention. It wasn't long before they started running around and chasing eachother, fighting over bones.

Chloe

Chloe was on her lounge chair and stretching when I arrived. She quickly hopped down and ran to give me kisses. She beat me to the backdoor so we could go outside. She ran around excitedly, not minding how cold it was out. She eventually ran back to the door, ready to grab a quick bite. I watched her eat a little bit again, then she ran over and attacked me with kisses. That's what happens when you sit on the floor beside a snuggley puppy. You get kiss attacked. She was so cute. This afternoon she hopped right up when I walked in and was bouncing around with excitement! She ran to the back door and quickly went potty so we could get to playing. We chased each other around outside for a little bit. Next, we came in and I sat with her so she'd eat a little for me. She gladly did, in return for pets after each bite! I grabbed out her little deer toy from her basket and we played some fetch. Chloe was being silly and initiated some Keep-Away. She bounced around abd pawed playfully at me. Then, she would stand with her heiny pointed at me for some back scratches! We went outside once more before it was time to go.

Chloe

This evening when I arrived I heard Chloe barking away. I stepped inside and she ran upto me with her tail wagging like "It's you again!" After her excited hellos, we went outside so she could go potty. She was almost too happy to go, but eventually took care of her business. She ran back to the door as soon as she was done. We went back in and I sat with her, making sure she ate a little bit, and got a little something in her tummy. After a few kibbles, she wandered off. I found her on her chair by the window, with a huge grin on her face. I sat with her and she got all excited again. She crawled on my lap a few times and tried rolling over so I could scratch her tummy. After a little more playing around, I let her outside one more time before leaving.

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.
