Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon I let the three little ones outside when I arrived. Dilly gave me a couple hello jumps before she wandered off. Roxy got her ball and had me throwing it for her right away! She and Biscuit were entertained with that for quite awhile. When it was Bert's turn, she came over to me for a hello hug. Then, she and Biscuit started messing around. They wrestled a little, then went racing around the yard together! When it was time to head in, Bert made me laugh. She went up to a food bowl and started pushing the kibbles around in a cirlcle, back and forth with her nose! My dog does that when she is trying to bury a bone.





Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon Zeus and Zena went out to join Baby, who was waiting for us at the door. They went right into their side of the yard today. Baby was just loving up the sunshine! He laid out in the grass and I could tell he was getting sleepier, slowly tilting backwards. Finally, he flopped over and laid completely on his side! Ahhhh! Zeus was wandering over on the side of the house, with Zena supervising from under the ping pong table. As soon as they heard a dog come outside, they ran to the side of the fence to say hello!




Sadie & Harley

This morning the girls ran outside to do their business while I got breakfast ready. Sadie started eating a lot sooner than yesterday and she finished pretty quickly. Harley, on the other hand, was the total opposite today. She was much to excited to play to be interested in breakfast! I tried a few things, but she just didn't want to. I put her food up since Sadie was aching to get out by us. We sat in the living room to play a little. Harley started zooming around and around the room like it was a race track! Later we headed outside since it was pretty nice out and they played out there awhile. Harley kept sticking her head through the fence to look at something. When we headed in, I called Harley to the kitchen and we tried the food game I like to do with some dogs. That worked! I got her to eat a few kibbles with that, which got her hunger going enough to lick her bowl clean. Yay! Meanwhile, Sadie kept bringing me a ball to throw for her, which kept her occupied. Afterwards we played in the living room some more. Harley and I played tug with her snake toy. This evening the girls went out potty, then it was time for dinner. Sadie got working on hers right away. I started the food game with Harley, so she got interested in eating hers much earlier this evening. She got about half way, then stopped. The wind whooshing and howling outside kept making her think she was hearing someone at the front door. So, we took a break and got to the fun stuff! Later, I brought Harley into the kitchen and tried to get her eating again, which she did and cleaned up her bowl. The girls got to go outside once more and get their treat before bed.

Sadie & Harley

This evening both girls were wiggling their heinies excitedly when I came in! Harley began bouncing up and down so high on our way to the back door. I let them outside so they could do their business. Once back in, I got their dinner ready for them. It took Harley a little while to settle down, then she would walk by to grab a bite here and there. She ate pretty well! After dinner, we went into the living room to play. Harley was bouncing up and kissing my face. She's so silly! Sweet little Sadie came wandering around the side of a chair and had a red squeaky ball in her mouth. She brought it over to me, so we played some fetch! Harley didn't care about the ball, she just wanted to climb around in my lap and give kisses. Before bed we headed back outside for a little bit. Then, I got them each their snack before I left.



Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon the boys came running up to see me. I let them outside, then went to look for miss Sugar. As I suspected, she was bundled up under a blanket in her bed. She stuck her little nosey out at me, did a big stretch, then came outside with us. It was simply perfect out today! We spent a long time outside and they all enjoyed every minute of the warm sunshine. This evening I let the pups out to do their business quick, then they came back in for dinner. After they finished, we went back outside for a bit until mom came home!




Zeus, Zena & Baby

This afternoon the kiddos got excited when I walked in. They ran to the door when I let them out of their beds, and we were met by Baby outside! They all ran to the side of the yard, because the neighbors and their dog were outside. Finally I got them rounded up and into their side of the yard. Baby wandered around in the shade by the side of the house. Then he hung out under the ping pong table for awhile. Zena was busy talking with the neighborhood dogs. Zeus did some exploring, but would wander over by me to be pet now and again. He loved the sunshine today and rolled around in the yard! They had lots of fun outside today.




Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon the pups all ran outside with me. Dilly bounced up a few times to say hi before she wandered off. Biscuit and Roxy both went off to explore the yard for a bit. Eventually, Roxy found a ball and brought it right over! Today she actually was the one just running along, and let Biscuit go fetch it a few times. But, when he would get it, he would get bored and just put it down. So Roxy then had to pick it up and bring it back for me to throw. I put Roxy in her room and let Bert out for her turn to play. She sat by me and snuggled up for some attention for awhile. Then, she joined Dilly and Biscuit for some exploring.

Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

This afternoon I let the kiddos all outside. It was gorgeous out! We spent the whole time out there, which the pups loved. Jimmy started rolling around in the grass, having fun! He and Sugar lounged around by the side of the house, soaking up some sun. Buddy sat and snuggled up with me for quite awhile. Later, he wandered over to the fence and said hi to the neighbor puppy. Next, Jimmy went over there. We headed back in when it was time and they all got a snack. This evening I could instantly hear the puppies whining away, ready to come out and play. They burst out of their cages and raced eachother out the door. They didn't stay outside long, I think it was too windy, and they seemed really hungry. Jimmy grabbed a bite or two while I got the boys' meds ready. Sugar watched with anticipation. They took their meds, then all of them were super hyper. Buddy was sitting beside me whining and whining. I kept asking him what he wanted, but I had no clue. He looked adorable in the process though. They all kept me company in the kitchen until bedtime.



Miranda

This afternoon Miranda was all for playing. She was loving the weather and kept returning the toys to me, and that's rare. She usually tries to give them to me, but then it turns into tug of war. I threw her toys for her until she decided she was done. She layed down in the grass for a bit and soaked up some sun as well before going back in.


Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon Bert was carrying around her favorite spider toy when I came in. We all headed outside right away. It was so nice out! Bert came and sat next to me for a little while to get her back scratched. Dilly and Biscuit were busy exploring most of the time. Soon it was time to let miss Roxy out. She ran outside and bounced over to me to say hi. Then, she ran around searching for a ball for us to play with! She couldn't find one, so I went and grabbed one from the house. She and Biscuit would both chase after it again like yesterday. But, only Roxy was the one to ever bring it back to me! Biscuit just had fun running along with her. Dilly was content still sniffing around and checking things out. When it was time I got them all some fresh water and a treat.
