Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the crew went outside with me when I arrived. Panda was bouncing up and down, ready for a toy. I went and took care of the plants, while the pups tagged along. Molly checked out the bushes, while Tux had his eye on the pond. He must have been looking for critters. Afterwards, Bubba and I got a good game of fetch. Panda would run along with him most of the times, and she was a little better about sharing this morning. Haha. This afternoon, I let the pups out. Molly went straight for the corner by the garbage can to get something. I thought maybe she had her frog friend at first. But this time, Panda was very intrigued as well. She made me laugh so hard. Panda went to check it out and jumped about 3 feet straight up in the air! That was the funniest thing! So, I went over to check out what they'd found. It was a teeny baby snapping turtle. And boy he was sure trying to defend himself. I picked it up to try and move it away, but the girls tried to get it from me. When it was time to go in, I had to get Molly since she wasn't giving up. This evening, the pups raced out back to play. Bubba and I got a little fetch time in, but Panda was trying to hog all the toys to herself. Molly helped too. Haha. We went in when it was time for bed and they got their cookies, and Tux his bedtime medicine.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups were getting all excited in their beds when I first came in. I let them out back for their potty break. Miss Billy hadn't eaten dinner, so she got some yums mixed in with her food. They came in and both licked their bowls clean for me. Oreo got some breakfast quick, then the pups and I headed out back again. I got them some more water in their bowls out there and we had some fun playing with the hose. Billy got so excited after she got to take a drink from it. Haha! The pups wandered around a bit, then Billy came to get some pets. I went in to check on the kitties and open their windows for them. Pepper wanted her attention. Salt got to play a little bit with the string and the green tunnel. Chili was being shy this morning and hung out under the bed for the most part. This evening the pups went out and came back in for their dinners. I finally got to see one of the hermit crabs tonight, moving around! I wasn't quite sure if they were still in there. Haha. Oreo got some carrots and hay, then a few pets as well. The pups went out back to play, while I visited with the kitties tonight. Salt and Pepper were busy playing at first. Pepper was going crazy, jumping around on the bed and chasing the string! Then, Pepper was in quite the lovey mood. She snuggled up next to me, just laid there and purred away.

Oscar

This afternoon I came in and Oscar met me around the corner. He did his little prancy dance while I scratched his heiny. We went out back and he came over to me for some more pets. After that, Oscar found a nice spot in the grass to get some sunbathing in. It was a beautiful day! He moved from spot to spot, and did a little exploring. I got him some fresh cool water so he could get a drink out there. When we went inside, he did some tricks for me to get his snack. Such a good boy!

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups went out back for their potty break. Billy had eaten her dinner overnight for me. I got them their breakfast, some fresh water, then fed Oreo. The pups came in to work on that while I went to check on the kitties quick. I went to let the pups back outside. Billy was bouncing and springing around to the door like a little baby deer! Haha. They ran out back to play. After I visited with them a little, I went in to spend some time with the kitties. Pepper and Salt were ready for some play time! They were busy stalking their string. After awhile, they wandered off and Chili decided to come see me. Chili got a little play time on her own, then went to get a drink from the faucet. This evening, the pups were excited to go out back. They had eaten well again, so I got their dinners ready. Billy came in first, while Quinney was finishing his business. He came in next and worked on his food. Billy seems to like to eat hers after I leave. Oreo got some carrots and hay to crunch on. Salt was stretching again as I walked in their room. I closed all the blinds and scooped their box, then turned on their water. The pups went back outside to run around and play. Pepper and Salt were waiting for me when I returned. Pepper rolled around on the floor, purring away and enjoying her pets. Salt was checking out the kitty tunnel and chasing the string. Chili was hanging out under the edge of the bed, just watching.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the pups were at the door, barking to announce my arrival. Molly was busy trying to get behind the garbage can to check things out. I was curious what she was after! I gave Panda a ball to run around with. Then, I worked on watering plants. When I was finished, I saw Molly had found her friend. It was a frog! She was all foamy from trying to carry it in her mouth too. Haha. I tried to get her to leave it, but she didn't want to give up. Panda had Tux busy chasing her around. After their playtime, we went in and Tux got his medicine. This afternoon, I got two toys down for the pups to play with. Panda was pretty occupied with hers, so Tux and I actually got a good game of fetch in! Molly ' s friend was back again, by the garage. So she was busy with that the whole time. This evening, the pups ran out back to play. Panda and Tux were waiting for me to get their stuff down for them. We played as long as Panda would let us. Haha! Molly joined in tonight and stole the tennis ball. She had a blast tossing it around to herself and prancing around. Later on, we went in and they got their bedtime cookies. Tux also got his pill.

Hunter & Riley

This morning the kiddos were ready and waiting for me. Hunter led the way to the door and I let them out back. They had eaten almost all of their dinner last night. I opened up blinds and got their breakfast ready for them. Outside, Hunter was ready for his game. I told him to go get his ball. Then, we played a short game of fetch. After that, it was a nice relaxing morning. The pups lounged around most of the time. They heard the neighbor dog come outside, so later they ran over there to check that out. Hunter was even crying! Haha. Soon, it was time to head in. They ate well this time again and didn't have any accidents. Yay!

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning the pups came outside with me when I arrived. I gave Panda a ball right away, since she kept jumping up at me looking for one. Haha. She ran off, shaking it with her head, Bubba following along behind. I went and watered the plants quick. Molly was tagging along, checking out the bushes by us. When we were done, Tux was ready for his game. Panda stole his favorite ball right away. Today, he sure didn't want to settle for the other one! He kept chasing after her and they ran circles around and around me. Haha! This afternoon the pups ran out back for their playtime. Miss Molly was busy exploring around the yard and checking out the trees and bushes. Panda and Tux kept me busy playing fetch with them. Miss Panda decided to kill Bubba's favorite ball this afternoon, so we had to put that away. Poor Bub! I grabbed their tennis ball and thrower and we had fun playing with that instead. This evening, the pups came out to do their business. Molly found a big bug in the driveway and was entertained, pawing at that for quite awhile! Ha! Panda had taken one of Tux's toys, so I tossed the other for him. Then, they'd switch and take turns. I had to have them take a break for awhile since it was hot and they were panting pretty good. They relaxed for a bit. We got a little more playtime in before we headed inside for their bedtime snacks.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning Billy and Quinney went out for their potty break. They had eaten overnight, so I got their breakfast ready. They still weren't ready to come in, so I got Oreo some breakfast also. The pups came in and worked on their food. Pepper and Salt were both waiting in the bedroom for me to come in. I turned on the water and Pepper was up on the counter, ready for a drink. I went to let the pups back outside and went out with them for a bit. When I came back in to see the kitties, Chili was on her way out of the bathroom from getting a drink. Pepper was happy to get some attention and loved up every minute. This morning, it was Salt who was up on the bed, having a blast chasing after the string! Chili was hanging out below the bench, just watching. This evening the pups went out and did their thing. I saw the back neighbor was busy pressure washing their side of the fence. The pups came back in right away for dinner. While they ate, Oreo got some carrots and hay to munch on. The pups went out and Billy went right to the water spraying through the fence boards. I went out back to get them some water and to keep her occupied for a little while. Haha. The kitties only got a few minutes of playtime and pets this evening, but they were happy to see me.

Hunter & Riley

This morning I let the pups out right away. They had eaten well overnight again. I got their breakfast ready and tended to my other things quick, then I went out back with them. Hunter spotted me before I even got outside, and he was ready for his game! He went and brought his ball over for me. I tossed it a few times for him and he raced off to go get it. We had to watch out for Riley! Haha. She was busy exploring and would sometimes walk right into his path. I told him when we were done. Then, they both lounged around and enjoyed the outdoors. Hunter went and grabbed a toy out from under the table out there. When we went inside he brought it along and pranced around with it. Riley went off to bed right away. Haha. This afternoon I gave them their extra visit. Hunter was on his way to the door. They weren't expecting me! Haha. We went out back right away and they got some time to enjoy the beautiful afternoon. Hunter got a few throws of his ball, then we were all done. This evening both pups were at the door with their tails wagging. They went out back to do their thing while I got their dinner ready. Hunter had to go inside to find his ball for me when he was ready to play. He brought it out and we got some fetch time in. After we were done, both pups sprawled out in the grass and listened to the neighborhood.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning I let the pups out when I arrived. I got down one of the toys for Panda and Tux to entertain themselves for a bit, while I watered the plants. All three decided to help out and followed me around. When I was finished, Bubba was ready and waiting for me to play his game. We got a good fetch game in, then headed in for Tux to get his medicine. This afternoon, it was hot and humid out. Panda was having fun shaking her toy around. Haha! She kept stealing the ball away from Bubba this time, so he would stand there for a minute, then would have to go get the other one. Molly joined in too, and pranced off with it. Poor Tux, the ladies keep picking on him. Haha. She gave up pretty quick though. She was busy checking out what was in the tree after that! Later on, we went inside for the pups to cool down. Miss Molly was happy to stand by me and get her pets. This evening, the kiddos all ran outside. Panda and Tux got their play time in.

Soon, it was time to head in for bedtime and cookies. Tux got his pill as well.
