Capone


I could hear Capone meowing before I even put the key in the door! He must know what time it is! His dish was again off of the mat, but he still didn't get it open. He was very snuggly today and really craving attention. I was cleaning his litter pan and he came up and rubbed across my back. haha! Then I was filling his water and he was purring loudly and rubbing his face on the door. I gave him lots of extra attention and even some treats. Capone started rolling over for me so I pet his tummy, and after awhile he began getting quite playful!

Clovis, Snickers, Sophie & Patches


Only Patches and Clovis showed up for their dinner today at first. I had all the plates set out and I looked down... Clovis had finished his plate and was moving on to the next! So I put them up for a little bit and went out front to see if anyone was hanging out there. I found Snickers and brought his food to him. I didn't see little miss Sophie today, but I left her food out for her. It was really nice out, so she must be out exploring. Hopefully she will get to her food before Clovis or Patches do!

Boomer, Ladybug, Bella & Bo


The puppies were full of energy when I came to let them out! Everyone was jumping up and down like crazy! It was very nice out so we spent the afternoon visit outside the whole time. Boomer and Ladybug were busy chasing and barking at people outside and bicyclists. Bella and Bo were keeping me busy! They were all having way too much fun in the corner with the little decorative fencing. Ladybug and Boomer were walking through with ease, but the puppies hadn't quite mastered it yet. This evening it was pretty chilly already so I put all their cute little jackets on. They are so adorable running around together! I let them do their business and brought them back inside to play. Ladybug sure likes my attention. Boomer is such a little snugglebug and kept giving me hugs! I got lots and lots of kisses from everyone. Bella and Ladybug played so hard I think they were ready to go to bed before anyone else. Bella crawled in her cage on her own. I tucked everyone in for the night.

Sierra & Koko


The girls were very excited to see me today! Now they have no problem coming up to me and letting me pet them. Sierra has been eating her dinner in the bedroom. She is too excited and wants me to bring out the Lighty Lighty to worry about food! Now when I am changing the pads, Koko is jumping on the bed excitedly and Sierra is running back and forth between me and the kitchen. This evening when I came she even started crying for it!


Molly


Molly is doing well today. She wasn't quite sure of me being there without mom and dad at first. After I started giving her some treats she warmed up a little. Then we sat by her chair in the living room and I pet her for awhile. She got a little bit of a backrub and lots of back scratches since I found her spots. Well, yours is the first alarm I've set off! lol And it was when I was turning it back on, not trying to turn it off. Scared the crap outta me! I haven't experience one where the sound is outside too. I got it all taken care of though and it won't do it again. haha! This evening I came and fed Molly. She was still a little apprehensive at first, but I think she's getting more and more comfortable. I saved a little bit of the ID for her tomorrow as one last treat. I took her outside and fed her, then she did her business. It still looked a little on the soft side, so I will continue with the medication for that. I sat in the chair on the patio while she ate, and when she was done she jumped up on her little bed. So I pet her and we sat outside for a bit. When we came in she got some more treats and we sat by her chair again. This evening the setting of the alarm went without any problems! :)

Zeus, Baxter, Zelda

Zeus and Baxter were very good today. I let them out this morning and Zeus went exploring in the back corner of the fenceline. I think it was a little chilly out for Baxter, so he followed me back inside right away. After awhile I was finally able to get Zeus back in. I figured out what he found yesterday. I bet it was the treats you mentioned that one of the neighbors gives out. Now that I think of it I heard him crunching away on something.

When I was leaving this morning, I was walking out the garage and did a double take. I barely even noticed her sitting there!

Amor, Shady, Poncho, Libby, + 1 more


Everyone is getting more and more comfortable with me every visit. (except the shih tzu who still runs away from me) Amor is such a sweetie and follows me around everywhere. This morning there were quite a few accidents when I came in, but I got them all cleaned up. Also, I don't know if they've done this before, but there were little carpet fibers everywhere! I put one of the beds over the spot where they were getting at the carpet to hopefully stop it, and it's worked so far. This afternoon and this evening I am happy to say there were only two accidents each visit. Pretty good! This afternoon was very nice out, so I got everyone out to play the whole time. Everyone except the shih tzu are all very snuggly with me now! I sat outside with them this afternoon and was attacked with kisses! Shady likes to try and hide in my sweatshirt. I was having a hard time getting the puppies to eat anything, because they were too excited to see me to worry about that. But this afternoon and especially this evening they ate well.


Lily & Grace

The girls were both ready for me this morning and this afternoon! Both were staring, wide-eyed and tails wagging as I opened the back door! They both got their treats this morning. Grace was loving up the attention from me today. Both visits she came over by me and after I started petting her, leaned all her weight against me as I rubbed her tummy! I think they might have gotten a bird or something today, because there were a bunch of long feathers in their water bowl... I guess they wanted to celebrate turkey day too!



Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm going to try to squeeze in some time to celebrate the holiday with the family that I have in Oklahoma, so I won't be posting the updates until later this evening. Rest assured, everyone is happy and doing just fine! If you want to check in on them before I post updates, you are certainly more than welcome to give me a call!
