Harvi, Porthos & Athos

I went to see Harvi and the boys a little earlier today due to the weather and road conditions. I figured the boys would be happy to get inside too! They were both sitting in the garage and peeked out at me when I pulled up. You acquired some new pets while you were gone! There were two little robins in the garage. They must have crawled in through the opening when the kitties weren't looking! I put the boys inside and opened the garage all the way to get them out. They didn't want to go! Too cold! I finally gave up and got Harvi's food ready. She was all holed up in her house, with snow drifts at the entrance. She didn't want to come out at first. After I dug her bowl out of the snow I let her in the garage to eat so she could warm up a little. I stayed with her until she was finished then let her back out. She didn't like the birds in the garage! I went inside and spent some time with the boys. I did a longer visit today since they were home and stuck inside. They were super snuggly today! When it was getting to be time to go, I figured I'd give it one more shot to try and get the birds out. I didn't want the boys to be bringing "presents" in the house! I took a broom and helped them find their way, and they went right out.
"Stop! No more pictures!"

Koko & Sierra

The girls were all snuggled up on the bed this morning and came stretching down the steps to see me. I thought maybe Miss Sierra was on a routine of eating her breakfast and not her dinner for me, but she didn't want to eat this morning. She did pick off all the pieces of chicken though. When I came in tonight, Sierra hadn't finished all of her food and someone had vomited, so my guess was her. I got her fresh food for supper, but she still wasn't interested. While I was cleaning up their potty pads she was whining at me. Then she started jumping around and rolling all over the floor! We didn't really have time to play lighty tonight since I was cleaning up, and I think they were pretty disappointed. I can't blame them! We'll have to make up for it tomorrow!

Pheonix, Coal & Oliver

This morning Pheonix was up already and met me at the door. The other two were still sleeping. Oliver was snuggled up on the couch and Coal was sleeping in the kitchen on the rug. Coal didn't wake up until I went over by him and called his name! He must be a deep sleeper. They all went out for me this morning when I got there and again before I left. They were still pretty sleepy so they all curled up by me for awhile. For my early afternoon visit, I let the boys spend as much time outside as possible, since they'd probably be cooped up tomorrow. Oliver always waited until I was fully outside to come out with us. They all explored around the yard and enjoyed the nice warm sun. Pheonix got a little jealous... I was petting Coal and he came over and pulled my hand away with his paw! For my late afternoon visit we all spent the majority of it outside. Pheonix and I ran around the yard for a bit while Oliver was saying hi to Max. After they were all tired out they laid in the house by the kitchen. Tonight at my early night visit they were all ready to go outside! When they were done they all ran into the kitchen and waited for their yum yums! The boys lounged around inside and Coal had some supper. I turned on the tv for them for the night and left their night light on. I also turned the heat on, so they'll be nice and warm when the cold hits! For my late night visit the boys all met me at the door when I came in. It had been raining now for awhile, and definitely is getting cold out! I let them all out and went outside with them. Coal came out, but didn't want to venture out into the grass to go potty. I tried taking him out front, but the rain was blowing around so bad, that didn't work either. I'm sure he'll have to go when I come in the morning and maybe it will have turned over by then. They were all pretty sleepy and laid down shortly after they came inside. They're all doing great!
