Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

Tonight everyone was ready to go outside for me when I got there. Jimmy came and sat in my lap for a little bit before running off to the corner of the yard to check things out with Buddy. When Sugar was ready to go back in, I had the boys come in for supper and their meds. I let the boys play out in the backyard again when they were finished. Sugar and I snuggled by the couch. Oh just fyi, there is a big black wasp-looking thing making a brown tubular nest in the top corner by the patio door!
Can we go play some more?

Maycie & Luke

This morning after Maycie and Luke went outside to go potty, they came back in for breakfast. They were busy eating while I went out and watered the plants. Luke made sure to keep his ball close the whole time. He finished his food before Maycie did, and he just couldn't wait to get outside to play! We all went outside again for awhile. Maycie wandered around while we played fetch. When it was time to go in, Luke followed me into the garage and we waited for Maycie. Just as she was walking in, Luke quickly ran out. Then he came back in and Maycie went out! They kept switching back and forth on me a few times until I finally grabbed Maycie's collar and made her stay by me. So funny! Tonight Luke was jumping up and down ready for some fetch outside. After I threw the ball a couple times, Maycie decided to steal the ball from Luke! She made him chase her all around the yard. He was not a happy camper! She stole it a couple other times in between her exploration around the shed and fence.

Jerrie

This morning it was cloudy again and Jerrie was sitting on his middle tier just watching out the window. It started to rain just after I got there. He had some fun with his toys after I left yesterday! They were all scattered in the hallway today. Jerrie got brushed for a little bit, then we snuggled on the floor for a long time. He laid next to me and rubbed his face against my forehead. He would walk around me and make sure that he made a visit to each of my hands to get pet, then he'd come back and lay down.

Harvey

Today Harvey and I went outside to play right away. I brought out a tennis ball and he kicked it around a couple times. He was ready to go back inside, and was much more playful then. He picked up his red and white rope toy and started to roll around on the floor with it! He chewed on that for a little while, then would crouch down with his heiny in the air trying to get me to play with him. He seemed pretty itchy today, so I gave him a good back scratch and tummy rub. He was doing a little dance with his back legs for me while I itched him! We went back outside again and this time I brought out his long black rope toy. He grabbed one end and I had the other, and we ran and chased all over the yard. He stopped at the corner of the fence because he could hear the neighbor dogs. They were barking and he just leaned over closely and listened with his little tail wagging!

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

It feels like forever since I've seen my little buddies! I let them all out when I got there. Sugar went in her spot under the bed right away. Did you just turn Buddy's cage sideways recently? It seemed like he didn't know where the door was. Jimmy ran in by him and said "C'mon Buddy, this way - let's go play outside!". The boys played outside for a bit this afternoon. Jimmy came and snuggled with me for a few minutes before they went exploring around the yard!
