Sophie, Kiki & Baby

This evening I pulled up and all three pups came running together to see me. I got out and let them smell at me a bit. Sophie was rolling around and just loving me up. They followed me around for a bit, then Kiki and Baby wandered off to do their own thing. Sophie had fun jumping in the kiddie pool for a swim. Then she rolled around in the grass, having a blast! A couple of the chickens wandered over to check me out too. I got the little baby duck some fresh water. He's so cute! He loved having some fresh cool water, and jumped right in for a swim. I made sure all the other water containers had enough in them for the night. The chickens weren't ready for bed yet, so I came back again later. They were just walking in when I returned. All the little chickens were confused where to go since their coop was closed. They actually let me catch them this time and I got them where they needed to go. The only one I had trouble with was the white duckie! He kept running away from me, so I grabbed the baby duckling out and propped open the door. Then, we waited. Eventually he waddled in and I returned baby duck to his coop.

Noah, Henry & Harper

Noah was excitedly barking when I pulled up today. I went in and got everyone their dinner. Harper and Noah both finished quickly, so I let them go outside right away. I stayed in by Henry to coax him to finish his dinner as well. Then, we joined the other pups and they each got their rawhide snack. Noah went to the far end of the yard to enjoy his. Harper's was gone pretty quick, so then he sat with me. Henry took the longest, but was so happy savoring every minute! Noah came to say hi, then noticed dogs were out at the back of the yard. He went and raced back and forth along the fence with them. We didn't stay outside too much longer, because the neighbor dogs to the side of the yard came out. I got everyone inside and we played for a little bit. Noah was being his silly self, rolling around and crawling under my legs. Henry made sure to keep him in line. Haha!

Buckley, Chloe & Bootsie

Buck stopped at the top of the stairs to sniff at me a bit today. We headed outside for awhile. I noticed Buck had rubbed his face and made his little eyelid mass bleed a bit. Chloe and Buck did their exploring, while Bootsie sat and visited me. Buck had found something over by the hose that he was all excited about. I came over to see what it was, but couldn't see anything. We headed inside for a bit so they could grab a drink and bite to eat. They did, then curled up on their beds for a minute. When we headed back out, Buck went straight for his mysterious critter. I opened the gate and Chloe followed me in to go take a dip in the pool. She swam around for a bit. When I finally got Buck's attention, he came for a swim as well. He kindly came by me to shake off and share the water with me! Haha! Bootsie was curled up on the patio table for awhile. Then, he curled up on a chair. Buck did the same thing! I guess he was working on his tan. Haha! The pups had fun today, taking several swims in the pool.

Titus & Angel

This morning the pups were ready to go outside when I arrived. I put their collars on and set out their breakfast. While they were busy doing their thing, I went to water all the plants and gardens. Titus followed me around while I was in the back. He just couldn't wait until I was done! When I finished, he and I chased around for a little bit. It was a nice evening out for the pups. I saw Titus lounging in the grass when I came. He and Angel raced from one door to the next to see me. I got them their dinner, which they ate promptly. Then we headed out back to enjoy the beautiful night. Titus bounced around, then sat with Angel and I to get some attention.

Dillon, Ty & Boo

This morning the boys were quiet until they heard me. They bounced around at my feet, all the way to the door. Boo raced and sat on the table to watch. I saw they had gotten into a little mischief last night!  They had pulled a little stuffing from their bed and chewed on the black weight thing that was in the bedroom. I cleaned that up while they played outside. Boo jumped around on the bed and was being silly while he waited for me. Once I finished I went and sat outside with the pups, watching them play. This evening the boys had been very good. They bounced up and down at the gate when they saw me. Dillon was loving something he was smelling on my legs! His little nose was pretty much attached to me. I let them go play while I tended to the things I needed to do. Boo was flopping down on the floor in front of me, trying to get me to pet him as much as he could. He's so silly! It was a nice evening for the boys to play. And no muddy paws to clean off, so they were happy about that! They both sat for me while I cleaned their eyes before bed.

Titus & Angel

This morning I put the pups collars on, then let them outside right away. They came back in after doing their business to eat breakfast. Neither Titus nor Angel was interested in eating at first. Angel was more worried about claiming a bowl and keeping Titus away from it! Eventually, Angel grabbed a mouthful of kibbles and ran them over to her bed to eat them. While she was nibbling on those, Titus went ahead and laid down by the bowl she was grabbing them from. She came back for another mouthful, and they made me laugh. She looked at Titus for a minute, as if to say, "Hey that was my bowl!" Titus responded by putting his nose in the dish and pulling it closer to him. "It's mine now!" So, miss Angel had to go eat from the other bowl instead. They're so funny! We headed back outside once they finished. Angel got me her toy and we played a little fetch. Titus joined in and chased along with her, throwing paws once in awhile. This evening the pups bounced their way to the back door. Then, they met me in their room and came in for dinner. Angel sat by me for a few pets before she was ready to lay down and eat. They finished quickly tonight, so then we made our way back outside. Titus and I chased a bit, while Angel explored. Titus did some relaxing in the grass a little too. They both sat by me for some neck scratches. I made sure they had plenty of fresh water before bed.

Dillon, Ty & Boo

This morning I walked up to the house and saw two little white faces in the window! They had somehow figured out how to get out of their room apparently. I don't think they were out long though. They didn't get into any trouble while they were out and were good boys. I let them outside and checked all around the house, just to make sure. Boo was having fun racing around with me. He pawed at my back while I filled his food dish. I stopped to pet him for a bit. He was really wanting my attention today! Boo tried grabbing at me any chance he got so I'd stop to pet him some more. Silly kitty! Later I headed outside with the boys. They were busy checking things out under the shed, looking for their little rabbit friend. I heard Boo meowing from inside and noticed he was walking around in the window sill. The grass was wet this morning, so when it was time to go in, the boys needed their paws cleaned off. This evening I got there a little early and gave the boys some extra playtime outside. Boo was having fun playing with one of the leashes on the table, while I was letting them outside. I sat out there with them for awhile right away. Boo came and sat in the window, meowing at me to come back inside. I went in and pet him for a little bit, then took care of everything. He sat on the back of the chair in the dining area and was peeking around the corner at me at almost eye level! We played a little and I teased him with my fingers against the corner of the wall. Paws would come flying around the corner to try and get me! He's so funny. When I finished I went back out by the boys. I noticed they were hovering over something by the fence, so I got up to see what they were up to. It was a tiny baby turtle! He was all holed up in his shell, hiding from the big white puppy dogs. I went ahead and moved him elsewhere for everyone's safety. The boys gave me that "Aw, you're no fun!" look. Eventually they went on to explore some more around the yard. They both laid in the grass and did some relaxing too. When it was time to head in, they sat and got their eyes cleaned up like good boys.

Titus & Angel

The rain and storms had passed for now when I arrived this morning. I got their collars on and let them out while I got their breakfast ready. Angel kept bringing a few kibbles over to her bed to lay down and eat. Eventually, she just stood at her bowl to eat. Silly girl. Titus curled up by his dish and finished up. Then, we headed outside for awhile. They raced to meet me at the other door. Angel sat by me, nudging my arm with her nose to pet her. Titus would wiggle his way in between us so I'd pet him instead! They're so funny. They both did some exploring around the yard, smelling the freshly rained on grass. I took a look at the weather and saw that we should be in the clear until this evening, so I decided to leave them out as long as we could. Luckily, it turned out to be a pretty nice afternoon! The clouds kept the temperatures down, so the pups had a comfortable day. This evening as I walked to the door I heard them racing to the back. I could see them in the window, bouncing excitedly! They met me inside and worked on their dinner. When they finished we headed outside and enjoyed the beautiful evening. They ran and chased a little, then relaxed by me for some attention.

Dillon, Ty & Boo

This morning I let the boys out and they came running up to say hi. I let them play outside for a bit since it has just finished up raining. Boo was being silly as usual! He rolled around on the table and at my feet any chance he got. He sat on the back of the toilet to watch me clean his box, and nearly knocked the angel on the floor. I caught it though! I sat and pet him for a little bit while the boys were out playing. Dillon came running up to me when I got outside. He bounced around while I pet him. Ty was busy exploring under the shed. Today they were some muddy pups! I brought them each in and cleaned them off in the sink. They were very good boys. This evening I didn't say a word when I walked in. I quietly went through the kitchen, then I got the boys all excited! The second they saw me they started bouncing aeound. Boo came running out of the bedroom to join us. The rain had gone and left us with a beautiful sunny evening, so I let the boys go play right away. Boo kept me company and followed me about, as I got everything ready for the night. He got some attention before I headed outside. Dillon and Ty were having fun racing along the fence with the neighbor dog. Then, they were very excited about something under the shed. Finally, I saw what it was! A little bunny came running out and made his escape through the corner of the fence. The boys didn't get out quick enough to see where he went, so they kept searching under the shed. When it was time to come in, they weren't hardly muddy at all tonight! They almost didn't want to come in because they thought they were going to get a foot bath. Mostly just Ty. But they did and were happy to find out they didn't need to. They did get their faces cleaned, but they did just fine.

Griffin & Macy

This evening Griffin and Macy went outside for a bit. The rain was headed our way, so wd were hoping to spend as much time outside as we could. It was nice and cool out this evening, so Griffin and I got plenty of fetch time in. Miss Macy was pretty lovey dovey and sat with me for most of the time. She was loving getting her ears rubbed! It started to rain a bit, so we headed inside for the last few minutes. They both got a drink and had some supper.
