Sadie, Chloe & Patches

This morning Sadie was up and ready to go outside! I let her out right away, but she wanted me to come out with her too. I grabbed her food and a ball and came out so she'd go potty. Once I did, she ran all around the yard again. I tossed the ball for her and she ran as fast as she could to get to it, but then just left it there again! Too many other things to check out I guess. We went back inside for a bit so I could take care of the kitties. Chloe was waiting at her bowl for breakfast. She came and sat by us after, and rolled around. I rolled Sadie's ball in the house a little bit and this time she'd bring it back to me! I let her spend the day outside today. Tonight Sadie was hiding around the side of the house and came running as soon as she heard me. I came early, but the neighbor's had started lighting some fireworks off as I came to see her. She ate her supper right away, then curled up next to the couch. Patches came out to see me tonight and wanted some attention! Sadie got jealous and came over too, so Patches went back into the bedroom. Sadie and I snuggled for awhile. Her eyes would get big once in awhile when she would hear the tiniest hint of a pop. I had turned the music on for her, so that helped her calm down. She got a big treat before bedtime and was happy to curl up in her safe bed for the night.

Jerrie

Jerrie was sleeping in the same spot again this morning when I came to see him. After taking care of the things that needed to be done, I grabbed the brush and walked in the room by him. As soon as he saw me coming, he made his way down the cat tree. He hopped up into the window sill and looked outside for a little bit. I sat by him then he jumped up on the couch behind me. He rubbed his head on the back of mine and purred away. I called him to come back down, where he laid the rest of the time that he got brushed and pet!

Lucy & Shadow

This morning Lucy was already at the door when I came in. Shortly afterwards, Shadow appeared around the corner and was curiously sniffing at the air. Lucy came right up to me and I pet her for awhile until Shadow made his way over too. I left the front door open for Lucy so she could sit and look outside while I was there. I got Shadow playing with his rope toy right away. He would pounce, twist and jump to catch it! Lucy was rolling around on the rug by the door and watching bugs and birds outside. When Shadow started to get bored with the rope, I got Lucy to play with it. She was just as excited as Shadow was! She could catch it in the air everytime. Shadow had gone to sit in the kitchen under the table. And when he heard Lucy and I playing, he slowly made his way to the corner and peeked around it to see what was going on. Lucy was talking to me while I tried to get her away from the door when I was leaving. Once I shut the door, she moved into the window and watched me go.
