Tank & CJ

This morning CJ was sprawled out on the grass by the gate when I arrived. Soon Tank was outside too and they were bouncing up and down, saying hi. I went in and saw that they had eaten a little bit of Tank's food. Doesn't look like anyone is eating CJ's. We went out back and they both sat at my feet and got lots of love. They wandered around a bit more today. But anytime Tank would see me petting CJ, he would come racing over and nudge my hand to pet him instead. I grabbed out a squeaky toy to see if Tank would play some fetch with me. He would gallop over to it and pounce on it, but then would come running back to me, leaving the toy where it dropped! Silly boy! We went into the garage to get them to eat a little. Today they took turns. One would sit by me getting pet, while the other would nibble on some food. Then, switch! I gave them each one of their yummy bones to work on before I left. This evening I saw they hadn't eaten much since I left. So, I got them each part of a can of food to get something in their tummies. After they cleaned off their plates, we went out to the back. They both snuggled me and gave me kisses as I pet them. CJ wandered off and started rolling around on the patio, being a silly girl. Tank ran over and played with her a bit. Then, he grabbed his bone, which he had hiding in the stones somewhere. Before I left for the night they each got a chicken treat.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon everyone was barking at my arrival. I let the three little ones outside. Dilly and Roxy hung around by me for a little bit to say hi and get pet. Then, they wandered off and joined Biscuit out in the yard to explore. It was another gorgeous afternoon. The three pups were having fun sniffing around until it was time for the girls to go in their room. Bert came out next and did the same. Then, she went running over to the fence to see what the neighbor was up to. When it was time, she joined Biscuit in the kitchen and everyone got a treat.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning the cleaning gals were there, so the kiddos were already having fun outside. I let them in to have their meds. Then they each got a plate of veggies and rice. I gave everyone a treat, then we headed back outside. This evening we spent awhile outside before coming in for meds. It was such a nice day out! The neighbors were outside and I think they had people over, so that got the pups excited once in awhile. Later we went in and I got them all their meds. Since it was so nice out, we came back outside and they worked on eating their dry food.

Tank & CJ

This morning Tank and CJ were both outside when I pulled up. They started barking, then raced into the garage as I went inside. They were waiting for me at the gate, both tails wagging! We headed outside and made our way out back to check their water. They were so snuggly! Tank was pretty much attached to me the whole time. He was being a little booger and would try to push CJ away to hog all the attention! Later we went into the garage to see if they would eat for me. Tank got working on his breakfast. He didn't seem to want CJ to go by the bowls, so she was content sitting next to me and getting all kinds of love. She gave me lots and lots of kisses in return! I made sure all their water bowls were full. Tank was being silly while we were outside and was running around like crazy. I got them each a treat before I left. This evening I saw Tank lounging in the grass when I pulled up. He hopped up and they both stood at the fence barking. But they didn't do it for long, because they had to run in and meet me at the gate. Tonight I got them their canned food snack. They both licked their plates clean. Then, we went out back to enjoy the evening. Tank and CJ both sat at my feet and got their backs and tummies pet for a long time. I got them their dinner and we went in the garage to see if they would eat some more. I gave them another treat before it was time to go.

Zeus, Zena, Baby & Chico

Today Chico was not nearly as shy! He started crying when I let the other two out of their beds. Then, he went racing to the door with me. He spent most of his time wandering close-by. Baby went and laid in the shade in the corner of the yard for awhile. Miss Zena snuck out of her side again and gave Chico more kisses. Those two little cuties followed me all over the place. I went in to give them all some more water, and Zeus stood by to watch. I had to put Zena back in with the others and sneak back into the house so she would stay over there. As soon as I got in, Chico made his way to the other side as well.

Miranda

This afternoon it took Miranda a minute before she came to say hi. She must have been napping! We headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. She made sure to bring a toy out with us today. I threw it once, then she went and laid down with it at the back of the yard. After a few minutes I went over and stole her toy for a short game of fetch. She brought it back a few times, then wanted to play tug of war until it was time to head in.

Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

Today Biscuit and Roxy both raced out the door while Dilly was still bouncing up and down at me. After I pet her a little bit, she and Roxy went running around together. It was so cute! Biscuit was off on his own side of the yard, sniffing and checking things out. The girls came back later and both stood with their paws against my legs, wanting more attention. Bert came outside after the other two girls went in their room. She sat by me for a few minutes, then went off to do her business. Later, we played some fetch with her squeaky star toy. She would shake it around when she got it, then would come and roll over at my feet while holding the toy, for a good tummy rub!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let everyone outside. They came back in and all got their meds. After breakfast, Buddy ran and got the squeaker toy Jimmy usually brings me! Jimmy came running over, and I asked where his toy was. He just turned his head and glared at Buddy! It made me laugh so hard! Finally I went and grabbed an identical toy from the kitchen. I tossed it for Jimmy and soon Buddy was trying to play fetch too. Eventually he got it before Jimmy, so Jimmy came and snuggled me instead. Sugar was in a playful mood too, bouncing around behind Buddy trying to tease him! This evening we went out to play for awhile before getting their meds. Tonight I gave Sugar her injection while she was eating her potatoes so she was distracted. She didn't even flinch! After she ate a bit of kibble we all went outside again since it was so nice out. Buddy came running over with a bone and chewed on it for awhile. Then it was a game of musical bone! Sugar stole it from Buddy and chewed on it, then Jimmy stole it from her!

Frankie

This evening I came in and turned on the light to see Frankie making her way over to say hi. She sat down by the door and waited for me to get her leash on her. Then, we went out for a stroll! It was nice out, so we went for a long walk around the property. We saw a few other dogs coming out to do their business as well. One little dog in the distance sure got Frankie excited! Later we headed back upstairs and got her a treat. Then, we spent the last few minutes sitting out on the patio, enjoying the nice evening air.

Scout, Ginger, Tiger & Scotch

The pups were all peeking out the window when I pulled up tonight. Tiger was first to meet me at the gate. They all raced behind me as we headed to the back door. It was so nice out! We spent the whole time relaxing outside. Scout wandered over to the fence to say hi to the cute neighbor puppies. Tiger lounged around on the patio in the shade after doing some exploring. Miss Ginger would wander over and do a big stretch up against my legs. Later we headed inside and got the girls their meds. Then, I stopped to see Scotch. Before I left, I gave the pups all a bone to chew on.
