Riley, Hunter & Sadie

This morning, both Riley and Hunter were looking out at me through the window. They were bouncing up and down as soon as I walked in. Riley scooped up one of my shoes right away too! I let the pups all go out and do their business while I got breakfast ready. They lined up at the door when they were ready to come back in. Sadie got her meds. Hunter took a couple minutes, but then he got to work on his breakfast. Sadie wandered over to her bowl and nibbled just a bit. Riley laid down in the dining room, so I called her over to give her a little help. I offered her a few pieces of the canned food, then a couple handfuls of her food to wet her appetite. Then, she was eating on her own and licked her bowl clean! We all went outside again for awhile after they finished. This afternoon Hunter was bouncing like crazy, excited to go out. Riley brought one of my shoes along to the back door. She almost didn't want to give it to me! Haha! All three went outside and we enjoyed some of the gorgeous afternoon. I no more than walked outside with them, and Hunter was already barking for me to play fetch. I got out his toy and we played another long game. The ladies were busy sniffing about the yard, being sure to get out of the way if Hunter was racing towards them. We came in so Hunter could get a drink and cool down. Later, we went out again so he could take another potty break after drinking so much water. Hunter and Riley were both barking at me through the window this evening. They are always so happy to see me! I let them out while I closed blinds and got their dinner ready. I sat down at the table when they came in so they would eat. Hunter and Sadie did very well and got right to work. Sadie didn't finish, but she did a pretty good job tonight!

Sadi & Stormy

Today I saw Stormy was sitting under the dining table. She was just lounging, soaking up some sun. I mixed together a couple new cans of food for them, then got some ready for today. I took that to their room and Stormy was following. Before she got to eat, I scooped her up and took her back to the kitchen for her meds. Then, she was free to go get some food. I went out to the patio to look for Sadi. She had the perfect spot! It was so nice out there. There was a cool breeze and the sun was shining. Sadi was tucked in the corner, curled up and warm from the sunlight. She had a very crusty nose today. Poor girlie! I got her all cleaned up and gave her her meds as well. She sounded much better once I got all that yuck off her nose. She headed right for the living room when I set her down. We went to our spot for her attention time. Sadi purred away as I brushed. She even rubbed her head against my arm as I went over her to brush her. Stormy came back from eating and went to where I found her, then gave herself a grooming.

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

This morning I came in and Riley and Hunter were sliding around the corner, racing to come see me! I let Hunter out, then called for Riley, who had disappeared. She came over, heiny wiggling, with my shoe in her mouth! I had forgotten that she liked shoes! I sent her out next, then got miss Sadie to come out with me. The pups did their business and wandered around the yard a bit. The grass was wet this morning, so paws had to be wiped before we went in. I got them their breakfast and gave Sadie her pill. I got Sadie to nibble on some of her food for me! Hunter gobbled down his bowl as well. This afternoon Hunter was right there to greet me. Riley must have been taking a nap in the bedroom. I let all three pups outside. Then, I headed in to grab Hunter's favorite thing! It was a gorgeous afternoon and the grass seemed to be dry now. We got a pretty long game of fetch in. I think he would play all day if I let him! I put his toy away again once I felt he was getting too warm. He headed in to get a drink and to plop down on the tile to cool off. Sadie actually stayed out a little longer to do some exploring. When she was ready, she came in and curled back up on her bed. This evening Hunter was super excited that I was there and was bouncing all over! I let them out while I started to close blinds. I got their dinner ready and let them back inside. Sadie took her treat and pill well. I tossed a little piece of treat in each food bowl and that got the girls to nibble a little. Hunter worked on his dinner and did well.

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

Today Riley and Hunter were at the door barking as I was coming in. They recognized me right away. Then, those "who's here" barks turned into happy, "let's play" barks! I saw miss Sadie all curled up on her pillow on the couch. She sat straight up and was curious. I went to let the big pups outside. Then, I let Sadie give me a sniff. She was pretty shy, but didn't seem to mind me. Outside, Hunter immediately wanted me to play fetch. He sure remembers! The grass was a bit too wet out, so I put his toy away for now. This evening both Riley and Hunter met me at the door excitedly. All three puppies went outside for a potty break, while I got their dinner ready. Sadie came in and sniffed at her bowl, but wasn't interested for now. I gave her her medication and she took it well for me. She seems to be warming up to me pretty quick! I tried to ignore them a little so they would eat their dinner for me. It worked for Hunter and he polished off his bowl. Riley wasn't too interested either. Maybe tomorrow! After Hunter was done, we all went back outside for a bit before bedtime.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I found Stormy out on the patio, curled up on her bed. She was on her back, with her little toes up in the air! She was being a little sassy when I tried to pick her up today, so I waited until she got up on her own. She was fine after that and took her meds well. I got their food ready, then went back out to get Sadi. She was also on the patio, just sitting and soaking up some sunshine. I gave her her meds, then set her by the food. She wandered off to wait for me in the living room. She got plenty of pets and brushes today! She enjoyed every bit of that. She wasn't thrilled about me wiping her nose a few more times, but she's so good. She knew she'd get more attention of course!

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

Today I came inside and all was quiet. I saw the pups were in their beds,  so I went to let Sadie and Cole out first. I put Sadie out front, then took Cole out back to do their business. I carried Cole out to the middle of the yard, but he made his way back to the door. I took him to another spot and he did it again, so I let him spend a little time out there while I went to bring Sadie inside. I noticed her feet were completely dry, so I knew she didn't go either! I brought her in and put Zoie out. Zoie was a good girl and did both right away. I let her play out there for a few mintues. I went back to check on Cole, and saw he was finally out in the grass doing his business as well. Everyone was inside for a bit. Zoie bounced around and got out a couple toys. I was pretending to chase after her and she'd circle the living room,  "rr-rrrr"-ing with her toys in her mouth. Silly girl! Sadie just sat next to me, giving me kisses in return for petting her. I made Sadie go back out once more, since I knew she didn't go potty yet. I watched through the window while I played with Zoie. This time she did. Later, I got everyone tucked in their beds with their appropriate snacks.

Sadi & Stormy

Today Barry was working on the house when I arrived. I went in and grabbed the food out of the fridge. As I turned around, Stormy was on her way in the kitchen to see me. She got her meds quick and I checked on her lip. Still looking like she's headed in the right direction. She followed me into their room to eat right away. Miss Sadi was snoozing away under the bed. She got her meds next. She decided to head right into the living room again instead of eating first. I sat with her to brudh and pet her awhile. Stormy was pacing back and forth from the bedroom to the dining room. Sadi would occasionally turn around and give a look like, "What was that sound?", but then would turn right back to enjoy more attention. Before I left I took her back in by the food, and she was ready to nibble a bit.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I got the food ready and Stormy's meds out when I arrived. I checked under the bed for Sadi, but she wasn't in either spot. I walked out to the patio and saw Stormy right away, snoozing on her chair. It took her a second to realize it was me, then she came running down to roll on the ground a bit. Sadi heard me as well and started making her way over to me. Stormy and I went in to get her meds taken care of. Her lip looks pretty good, not a whole lot different since the last time I saw her. Miss Sadi waited at the door for my return. I picked her up and she gave me a couple meows. I got her nose cleaned up and she sounded pretty darn good today! She got the rest of her meds, then I set her by the food. Stormy was already in there, helping herself to both bowls. Sadi wasn't interested, and wanted to go straight to her attention time. She went ahead and sat in her spot. I started brushing her and giving her some chin scratches. Stormy passed by a few times for a quick pet, then went on her way. Before I left, I put Sadi back by the food, and she was ready to eat now.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo followed me to the kitchen and proceeded with his rolling around on the floor and rubbing up against my legs. After I cleaned their box, he and I went to the living room. Oreo was super lovey dovey today! He was obsessed with rubbing his head on my ankles. He even did a somersault and flopped himself across the top of my foot! What a silly boy! He purred away, and finally settled down next to me. We heard Stuffs getting a bite to eat in the kitchen. Oreo enjoyed his time being pet and just closed his eyes. Ahhhh... relaxation. Stuffs wandered in by us and got his share as well. Oreo later went to the kitchen to nibble a bit more, before returning to get more pets. Just as I was heading out, more guests arrived, so the boys will have some more attention!

Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo came down the stairs, then gave me a couple meows as he made his way to the kitchen. Stuffs was sitting by the couch in the living room already. He gave me a couple meows too, as I passed by. They were sure talkative today! Oreo rolled around on the floor, while I opened a fresh can of food for them. After I finished taking care of their things, the boys walked along with me to their spot. Oreo plopped down next to me and Stuffs came walking up on the other side. I pet them both for awhile. Oreo wasn't quite close enough, so he got up and laid right up against me. Stuffs eventually laid down a little bit out of my reach, and took a little cat nap. Oreo and I played with his toy for a little while, until he got bored with that. He was happy just laying by me and making "kitty biscuits" in the air with his front paws. Later, Oreo got up and went to chow down some more.
