Oreo & Stuffs

Today I walked in and saw little eyes peering at me from around different corners. Oreo was sitting in the dining room and Stuffs was peeking in from the kitchen area. Oreo meowed and met me in the kitchen. He rolled around while I got their food ready. After I took care of their things, I met the boys in our spot. They were already waiting for me! They both laid down and were happy to be pet awhile. We all laid on the floor and the boys were purring, and kneading "kitty biscuits" with their front paws. I got out a mouse toy, but they were content. Later, I got out their laser and had them both scrambling after it. I pointed it on Stuffy's leg and he jumped back. Whoa! Haha. They crack me up. Eventually, they got bored and went to go snack on their food.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty headed outside as I was coming in. Ruby was ready to get out, since she had had a booboo in her bed. I cleaned that up, while they were outside doing their business. I went out to play with Rusty, but he was busy exploring and rolling around in the yard instead. Ruby even hung out awhile to sniff around. Inside, Lance was tackling my legs as I made my way to the living area. He hopped around and had a blast with his toy. The pups were in and out a bit today. Soon, I went back out to see if Rusty was ready for our game. He was! It was a little chilly out, but the sun was nice and warm. We played until he was too pooped to run anymore! Lance was sitting in the window, watching.

Hope & Tag

Today I walked in and was greeted by a grown up Hope! She put her paws on my shoulder and gave me a big bear hug. Tag stayed back a bit, but I think he remembered me. They lined up at the back door, ready to head outside. Tag even let me pet his head a minute before they went out. The little neighbor dogs were barking at me for awhile. Haha! Hope went over to say hi to them, while Tag was busy exploring about the yard. Hope came back to me for some attention. I noticed the water in their bowl was frozen, so I dumped that out and got them some fresh water. When I set the bowl down, Hope stuck her whole nose in and started blowing bubbles in it! That made me laugh. She then grabbed a chunk of ice and chewed on that for awhile. Later, when it was time to go in, it only took a little bit of encouraging to get Tag to go inside. He was such a good boy! Once inside, he happily took some treats from my hand.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I got food ready for the girls, then went to go see them. Stormy was snoozing on the bed. She barely even noticed me walk in. I took the food to their room and got them some fresh dry food and water. I got some of Sadi 's meds ready. She was sitting by the window, looking outside. I picked her up and took her to her spot. She was a little clogged up today, but sounded good once I got her cleaned up. She took her medicine like a champ! When she was done, I put her by the food. She wasn't interested at the moment, so I took her out to the living room. She enjoyed a nice long brushing and chin scratching. She just sat and purred. Stormy wandered by to go to the kitchen, but she headed back to the bedroom shortly after. When I took Sadi back by the food again, I saw Stormy was back on the bed, soaking up some sun.

Hunter & Riley

It was another chilly morning outside, but at least it wasn't so windy today. I let the excited pooches out for their potty break. When they came in, Hunter went right to work on trying to get me to go out and play! I got their breakfast together first. Riley was laying on the floor in the kitchen, doing her little pawing thing she does at the floor. I grabbed Hunter's toy and we headed outside. He raced around after his ball, nearly running into the fence a couple times! Towards the end of his game, Riley decided to try and steal his ball. He chased after her until she surrendered it. Haha. After that, she rolled around in the grass a bit. They did so good this week. They will be happy to see mom and dad!

Hunter & Riley

This morning it was cold and windy out! The pups met me at the door, as usual. They went outside for a potty break, while I opened blinds and switched their tvs. They came inside to warm up, while I got their breakfast ready. They've been eating much better, all by themselves this time! Hunter was already booming his loud voice at me, "C'mon, let's play!". I got his ball and we went out for a quick game before they ate. Riley was in her playful mood again, and kept trying to steal the ball away from Hunter. They had themselves entertained for a little bit there. Haha. This evening, Hunter was barking, announcing my arrival, as I was getting the mail. They were bouncing around like crazy when I got in. The suspense must have been killing them! Lol. I knew what Hunter wanted right away. He went right to the kitchen and pointed his nose at his ball. I had them go potty quick first. After I got their dinner together, then we went out for his fetch time. Once back inside, I got them each another yummy bacon snack. They've been such good puppies! Riley polished off her food bowl this evening, before they went out again for their last potty break for the night.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Rusty came from the living area to see who was home today. I let Ruby out, then we made our way outside. Ruby no more than hit the porch, then she made a bee - line right for the dog door, and back inside! I guess she didn't like the cold haha. I was still standing in the doorway, so I called for her and she tried again. This time, she went to the yard to do her business. Lance came to visit me, once we were back inside. He played with his kitty toy and chased that around awhile. He made me laugh when he would sit up on his hind legs like a little prairie dog. Rusty came over and got his heiny scratches, while Ruby curled up on the couch. She got spunky for a few minutes and raced around the house, then the yard. I asked Rusty where his ball was, but he couldn't seem to find it. He tried looking though!

Oreo & Stuffs

Tonight when I walked in, I saw little eyes peering down at me from the top of the stairs. Since it was dark, I thought maybe it was Oreo. Nope! When I turned the corner,  Oreo was sitting in the kitchen in the dark. Silly boys! Haha. Stuffy came to the bottom of the stairs, while I got their food ready. He was a talker tonight! He stuck his head through the rails and kept meowing at me. I gave him some chin scratches, before I went to clean their box. Both boys joined me in the living room when I was finished. They were in a lovey mood tonight. They both happily got their chins rubbed for awhile. I got out their mouse toy and had Stuffy rolling around on his back, playing. Oreo wasn't amused. Haha. He went to go snack, then Stuffy went to sit in the kitchen as well.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today I started getting dinner ready for the boys. This time, Oreo came wandering in and rubbed his face on my leg. I set the food down and he worked on that, while I tended to their other things. Stuffs was lounging on the bed again. I stopped in and gave him a few chin scratches. I went to sit in the living room, then Oreo came running in to join me. He rubbed his chin in my hand for awhile. When he had enough, he laid down nearby. Stuffs came in to visit with us as well. I got out their laser and had both boys chasing around after it. Oreo makes me laugh when he goes crazy trying to get it! Oreo eventually took a break to go snack a bit. When he returned, he wanted a few more chin scratches.

Hunter & Riley

Happy birthday Riley! I came in to see two very happy pups this morning. Riley was prancing around with her snoopy. I let them outside to do their business. They came in and Riley had brought in a toy from outside, that she was showing off. They waited in the kitchen with me, while I got their breakfast ready. They both nibbled a little on their food. We headed outside, so Hunter could get his fetch in. One time when I threw it, he knocked it back behind the shed, where he couldn't get it. I helped him get it out. The neighbor dog was wondering what we were up to! Riley sat and sniffed at him through the fence. It was really nice out this morning, so Riley laid on the patio to enjoy it, while Hunter played. Back inside, I got them their birthday snack to share. This evening, the kiddos were bouncing up and down when I came in. They went out for a quick potty break, then came in so we could try to work on dinner. Neither was too interested. All Hunter was concerned with, is his game! We went outside for awhile and enjoyed the nice evening. Hunter got to play a bit. Riley was in a playful mood and tried to get the ball as well!
