This evening Frankie quickly ran out with her tail wagging to say hello. I gave her a big hug and put on her collar so we could head outside. It was nice out again so I let her take her time. When she was finished, we headed back upstairs. I got her a fresh bowl of water and she drank a ton. She wore herself out running around so much outside. After that we curled up in the living room and cuddled for a bit. She was so snuggley.
This evening Shelby was bouncing around my feet when I arrived. She was so cute! I let her outside first thing. She went potty then ran back to the door when she was finished. Once back inside, we sat in the living room for a bit. Boca sat on the couch with us and snoozed while we played. Shelby was such a cuddler later. She kept crawling on my lap and demanding attention. If I would stop petting her, she would stand on her hind legs and paw at the air with her front legs. She was too cute! Then when it was time for bed, luckily both the kitties were settled down in the living room so I could just carry them over to the next room. Shelby ran to bed, knowing there was a treat waiting for her.
Biscuit, Dilly, and Roxy were running around excitedly when I arrived. I let them outside right away. They played around in the backyard to their hearts content. Biscuit grabbed the nearest toy and ran off, shaking it around. Dilly hopped up on my lap and wanted lots of attention. She was so full of energy. Roxy, on the other hand, was really shy and only came outside for a short while. After a bit, I put Roxy in her room so that Bert could come out and play. She was so happy. She ran outside and went potty. Then she quickly came back over by me, demanding attention. Dilly was snooping around the yard, so she was too busy to notice Bert was getting all the attention.
This evening Frankie greeted me at the door, wagging her tail like crazy, so happy to have my company. I quickly put her leash and collar on so we could go outside. I let her take as long as she needed, until she started dragging me, full speed back towards the apartment. That was my cue to go back upstairs. Once back inside, I gave her a big hug and we sat in the living room for a bit. Then I gave her a back scratch until she was about asleep.
First things first, I let Zues and Xena out of their beds. Of course, Zues had to give me multiple giant hugs before we could do anything else. I let them out back with Baby. They were so excited to be outside. They ran around a little bit while I got them some fresh water. They definitely didn't like to stay in one place for long. All three of them were wandering around and playing the entire time. I think Baby layed down for a good two minutes once, but then got back up to start digging in one of his holes. Zues would always let me know when he wanted my attention. He would get real close and bark at me "Pet me now!" How could I say no to that face?
This afternoon Sarge eagerly ran out of his kennel to see me. I waited until we were outside before actually saying hello to him because he would get really excited everytime. Once outside, he was so happy, jumping up and down, ready for some attention. I sat down on the porch with him and he gave me kisses and hugs galore. After that, I made sure he went potty for me. He was a good boy and went right before we headed back in. I also let him get a drink before it was back to bed.
This afternoon Miranda wanted to play, of course, and enjoy the weather. She loved when it was nice out. She usually played fetch with me a lot longer on nice days. We played for awhile, then she eventually took a seat by me in the shade so I could give her some attention. I gave her a back scratch and a tummy rub, and she was in heaven.
Today the pups raced out of their room and to the back door. They all ran laps around the yard. I saw Bootsie lounging on the sidewalk by the pool gate. He rolled to his side and stretched out towards me. Later the dogs were all circled around their favorite tree. That sassy little squirrel was back! I watched it run circles in the tops of the tree, then down the side to taunt the dogs. I watched Tizzy run up the side of the tree a few times. I walked over to try and get it on video, but the little squirrel saw me and took off to a few trees down in the neighbor's yard. I wasn't even anywhere close to them yet! Darn! Bootsie followed me around and kept me company. He got lots of attention. Soon everyone was pretty warm and came to lay by me in the shade. When it was time we headed inside. I was surprised when the dogs went racing in to say hi to the cleaning lady, and I think she was just as surprised! I quickly rounded everyone up and got them back in their room. I couldn't find any of their nylabones today, so I found two kong and two other toys to put peanut butter in.
This afternoon the pups ran around and played outside the entire visit. Buddy would walk around the border of the fenceline and snoop around a lot. Jimmy would run about and bark at the neighbors' dog, and visit me, giving me smooches every now and again. Sugar just picked a spot in the grass near me and relaxed. This evening they were just as excited to play outside again. They lined up at the door when they were ready to eat. They gobbled up all their meds and taters quickly. Then they took turns grabbing some of their doggie food, seeing as none of them were too fond on sharing. Eventually they all went and layed down somewhere after they had their fill. Jimmy's favorite spot was on my lap, while the other two liked their doggie bed.
Today all the pups started barking when I got there. Even Bert was talking from her room. The three little ones ran outside with me. Dilly hopped up and sat in my lap for a little bit. She ran off to go play with Biscuit and Roxy. It was another gorgeous afternoon to play outside! We heard a loud sound out there that startled the dogs and got them all running to the fence to bark at the mysterious noise. Surprisingly, Roxy was busy enough exploring most of the time today to be wanting to play fetch. But soon she came galloping over with a rope toy that she placed in my lap for a short game! Bert came outside and wandered around with the other two for a bit. She came over with Biscuit for some attention. When it was time to head in, everyone came running. But, for some reason, no one wanted to go in the kitchen today! I had to get them one-by-one to go in. Silly pups!
