Titus & Angel

This morning was cold and rainy outside. I said good morning to the pups and put their collars on. We headed outside so they could go potty. They spent most of their time in the shelter of the roof-covered patio. Later we went in to warm up and get them their breakfast. They were hungry this morning and both got to work right away. Since they were going to spend the day in, we headed back out for a little while. I stopped back late this morning to give them one more quick potty break.

Titus & Angel

This morning I headed in to see the pups. I made sure to put their collars on right away. Titus made it a little challenging, as he was bouncing around excitedly. Finally, he settled and I got his collar on so we could go outside. I gave them a little time to do what they needed, then we headed back in for breakfast. Titus got to work right away. Miss Angel laid on her bed, staring at me with those eyes and wagging her tail. Suddenly, she popped up and came over for a back scratching. I told her she needed to go eat, so finally she did. Titus was finished, so he was ready to play! He squatted down on his front legs, then jumped up and tossed his head around playfully. What a silly boy! When Angel finished, he got his wish and we headed back outside. Later this afternoon, the sky grew dark and I was watching isolated storms pop up on the radar. I headed over to let the pups back inside, so Angel wouldn't be scared. This evening, the pups were ready to go outside. We spent most of the time outside playing, since it was pretty nice out. Titus rolled over for some belly rubs. When it was Angel's turn, he kept trying to mess with her. He was quite the little instigator tonight! Angel got some fetch time in. Titus was busy nudging her and trying to get her upset. So, I chased around with him instead. Eventually, they relaxed and laid on the patio by me, getting some attention. When it was time, I got them their dinner and some fresh water before bed.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I let the girls out for a potty break. Miss Ninja ran in while I opened the garage for her. It was pretty nice out again this morning. I had the girls come inside to work on their breakfast a bit, then we would head out to play. Ninja had made herself comfortable on one of the stools next to me. After Sadie and Sassy had eaten a bit, they zoomed outside to enjoy the morning. Sadie was having a blast chasing all the birds flying around. She ran towards the bush in the yard and made sure to scare them all out! Sassy just hung back and gave them her big, scary bark. Haha! Sadie and I had had so much fun playing fetch with her apple yesterday, that we decided to play again today. She brought her toy over, sometimes playing tug of war with it, before finally dropping it for me to throw. Sadie raced after it, now and again with Sassy right on her heels. She grabbed the apple, gave it a few good shakes with her head, then would toss it playfully in the air to herself. Eventually, she would bring it to me to start all over again. I sent miss Ninja back outside when it was time for the ladies to go back in. This afternoon as I opened the door and the girls ran out, I noticed a big orange tom cat out of the corner of my eye, next to the stairs. Sadie had already spotted him and chased him under the shed. I couldn't quite tell since it was only briefly that I saw him, but it looked like something was wrong with his jaw. I didn't get the chance to see him again before I left. Ninja had wandered out and laid under the patio chairs to stretch her big tummy. I stayed a bit longer this visit since it was quite nice out and the girls were having fun outside. They will be very happy to see mom and dad come home. We sure had fun!

Titus & Angel

This morning Titus and Angel were excited to get outside. I quickly put on their collars, then off we went. They each took a few minutes to do their business. Titus was ready for play time after that! He ran circles around me and played "keep-away". I tossed a ball and Titus went leaping and bounding after it, then turned and ran back. Angel wasn't quite ready for fetch this morning. She was too busy sniffing around the yard. Later, we headed in for their breakfast. It was a bit cloudy this morning, but it turned out to be quite the nice afternoon! Titus and Angel were laying by the fence when I pulled up, then they raced to meet me at the back door. Angel and I got a few throws of her tennis ball in this evening. Titus raced with when he could, then danced circles around me again, taunting me to play. We chased around and he got into a full sprint around the yard. He was going so fast that he couldn't stop and actually jumped clean over Angel! She barely noticed, since she was busy sniffing at something in the grass. They enjoyed some attention time before we headed in for their dinner. After they finished, they came over to me for some back and neck scratches.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

The girls woke up and came running as soon as I unlocked the door this morning. I let them out, then went to let miss Ninja out. Sassy made her way around and went into the garage to check if Ninja had any canned food left over. She was disappointed to see it was all gone. I got everyone some food this morning, then went out to visit with the girls. Ninja had made herself comfortable on a patio chair. Sadie was busy chasing after all the birds this morning. Sassy was a spunky little girl today too! She was running and bouncing along with Sadie. She kept wandering over by me for a little back scratching, but Sadie would get jealous and nudge her out of the way. Poor little Sassy. This afternoon was very nice outside again. We spent our entire visit out enjoying the beautiful weather! Sadie made her rounds, making sure no birds were sitting in the grass. When she wasn't getting attention, she was lounging around in the shade of the trees. Until she'd spot a bird of course! Sassy made me laugh this afternoon. She was carrying on a long conversation with another dog in the neighborhood. One would bark, then the other would sound a couple barks back. Sadie thoroughly enjoyed some belly rubs and back scratches. Miss Ninja must have been enjoying the afternoon everywhere, as I didn't see her around. This evening Ninja was waiting for me as usual, and so were my happy ladies! They zoomed outside while I got Ninja her dinner. Tonight Sassy had made her way into the garage before I closed it, knowing Ninja was about to get a can of that yummy food! Haha! The girls came in to work on some of their own dinner, before we headed out one last time for the evening.

Titus & Angel

This evening the pups were both bouncing up and down at the back door when I arrived. I went out and said hi to them, then we spent a bit longer outside. Angel went and got a ball for me and we started a game of fetch right away. I only had to step towards Titus a couple times before he took off racing laps around the yard. Angel dropped her ball to take a potty break and explore a little. I tried to throw the ball for Titus since she wasn't interested at the moment. He just looked at me like, "What?" I chased after him a bit instead and he went racing some more, with a hop, jump and a skip in his step. After playing outside for a bit, we then headed in for their dinner. I took off their collars and got them some food. I couldn't find Angel's bowl anywhere, so I took one that was stacked with Titus's. They each ate their dinner, then came over for back and neck scratches until it was time to go.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could see little miss Ninja peeking at me through the crack by the garage door. I headed in to let the little sleepyheads outside, then I opened the door for Ninja. She wanted to go inside instead. Sadie and Sassy came back in after a few minutes to eat their breakfast, and of course, say hi! Ninja was loving the attention while they were busy eating. When they finished, we all headed outside to enjoy the beautiful morning! Sadie went racing after birds flying overhead, and Sassy joined in by barking at them. Ninja hung out on the patio with us. Sadie had fun running laps around the yard, then occasionally stopping by me for some attention. This afternoon was gorgeous! Sassy seemed comfy sleeping on the couch when I got there, and had to be coaxed to come out with us. The girls did some exploring and relaxing in the grass. Later on, Ninja decided to show up. She walked around the patio by us. Sadie started trying to get Sassy to chase her. She zoomed circles around her, but was always just out of reach when Sassy would jump out from under the chairs. Sassy had more fun chasing after Ninja, since she kept coming by me for attention. This evening Ninja was in the driveway waiting for me. Sadie was doing her twirls at the door and Sassy was bouncing right along with her. They went out while I got Ninja set up for the night. It was another nice evening, so we spent some time outside. Sadie made sure to chase after any birds that were sitting in the yard. She would always take a break for a few back scratches and to give me a couple kisses. We headed in just in time, as I saw the neighbor out in her yard. I said goodnight with a few more belly rubs.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I could tell the girls were sleeping. As soon as I unlocked the door, they both came running! I let them out right away, then went to crack open the garage for Ninja. No babies yet! It was chilly out this morning, but the sun was shining. The girls wandered around a bit, then came in to say hi. I got everyone their breakfast and some fresh water. I sat in the kitchen while Sadie and Sassy worked on their breakfast. Ninja even joined in at the water bowl! Later, Sadie enjoyed her attention time. She gave me lots of kisses! Sassy was being silly this morning, bouncing around and rubbing her face on the floor. The ladies wanted to go outside again after awhile. Sadie took off and chased after her birds for a bit. This afternoon a wiggly Sadie was already waiting at the door fo me! It was starting to get pretty nice out this afternoon. I let the girls outside while I cleaned Ninja's box and fed the fishies. This was the first time miss Ninja wasn't there to see me. I couldn't help but wonder if she was off somewhere having her babies. I listened and peeked around in the garage a little but didn't see her anywhere. I sat outside with the girls for awhile this afternoon. Sadie had found a nice spot in the grass to curl up. Sassy was busy exploring about the yard. When we came in they decided to nibble on some food. This evening I saw miss Ninja under the garage door as I pulled up. She came trotting out when she saw my car. Ninja still had her big baby belly! She followed along with me to find the girls already at the door. I let them out to do their business, and Ninja snuck inside and laid on the tile. She enjoyed some attention until the girls came back inside. I got Ninja her canned food and closed the door for the evening. When I finished, the girls and I sat outside for a little bit, since it was still pretty nice out. Sadie chased after the birds and a couple bugs. Sassy ran around to the side of the house and let out a couple barks, just because! We headed inside for a treat and a few more pets before bed.

Sadie, Sassy & Ninja

This morning I was met at the door by a very happy Sadie! I stepped inside and she started crying with so much excitement! Sassy came from the bedroom to say hi. Just as I closed the door, Ninja came running up and peered through the window. I let the ladies outside to do their business. Sadie was super fast and back to the door to get some attention. Sassy soon returned as well, and Ninja snuck in when I opened the door. Sadie wouldn't let me stop petting her for even a second. She would paw at me for more! When it was time I sent Ninja back outside and told the girls I'd be back later. This afternoon both Sadie and Sassy were right there to say hi. I no more than shut the door, and Ninja had returned as well! I let the girls out again, and this time they spent a little longer outside. Sadie came in and was loving me up! I noticed it was taking Sassy awhile to come back, so I went to look for her. Not seeing her in the yard,  I had a feeling I knew where she was. Sure enough! She was in the garage nibbling on the canned cat food. I sent her inside and made sure to put the food up next time they went out. The girls got a couple treats today and Sadie did her little twirl for me. Later, she had a little crazy spurt and went racing laps around the living room! She made me laugh. Ninja joined us inside for a little bit, and she and Sassy played for a couple minutes. This evening miss Ninja and Sadie were both already sitting on either side of the back door. Ninja wanted in and Sadie wanted me to come in! Haha! Sadie and Sassy spent a bit outside. When they came in, Sassy sat on the couch next to me and Sadie was happy getting her pets. She even enjoyed a long belly scratch. Later, Sassy wandered over to the food bowl. Sadie, of course, had to go then too. I had to tell her "no" a couple times, as I could see she was getting a little weary of Sassy nearing the bowl. Sadie took a mouthful of kibbles and ran quickly to the living room to drop them on the floor and eat them! Sassy did this next, but took hers to the kitchen floor behind the couch. They took turns doing this while Ninja and I watched. Finally, they got down to business and both ate out of the bowl together. Ninja took this time to get a little attention from me. I let the girls outside one last time before bed.

Titus & Angel

This morning the pups heard me coming, and were both at the door waiting for me. I got their collars put back on, then we headed outside. It was already so nice out this morning! They bounced around a little, then did their business. I gave them a few minutes and then we headed in for their breakfast. They were a little too excited to be interested in their food. Titus kept coming to me for a neck scratch. This morning it was his turn for a belly rub! When Angel wasn't laying on her bed, she was over by me for attention. Soon, they were wrestling around and messing with each other. So, we decided to head back outside to burn off some of that energy. I played some fetch with Angel until she got bored with it. Then, I chased around with Titus for a bit. Later we headed inside to try and get them to eat again. This time, they both settled down and laid by their bowls to eat. After they finished, I made sure they had plenty of water outside for the afternoon.
