Dakota & Benny

Today we played out in the backyard for awhile. Benny and I tugged over his big blue squeaky bone. I threw it for him a few times. He got so excited that he wasn't watching where I was throwing it, and ran the wrong way around the pool. It took him a little bit to find it! Kota was exploring around the yard. I ran after her and we chased around the tree back and forth. When Benny was getting to warm we went inside to play. Kota and Benny did a little wrestling around. Then, I tossed Benny's toy for him a little while Kota and I wrestled around! We also played with Kota's food, tossing and flipping the kibbles around.

Caleb & Bella

I let Caleb out when I got there and when we went inside, he ran right into the bedroom. I quick grabbed Bella's food and put it on the counter so he couldn't eat it. I looked around and found her hiding under the night stand. I pet her and she started purring right away and licked my hand. Caleb was snooping around the room and grabbing all the little kitty toys he could find, so I kept taking them away as I'd see them. I think he did get one of the little fluffy ball toys. Reminded me of the movie Elf when he's eating the little cotton balls lol. I would not keep the little pipe cleaner toys, if Caleb gets those, I am almost positive he will need surgery to get those out... just a suggestion. :o) Caleb eventually saw me looking under the stand and came to look too. She puffed up and would start a little growl and walk over to take a swat at him. He wanted to play so bad, he was crying! I tried to get him to come out in the living room to play with me but he had no interest whatsoever. I got a towel out, grabbed Bella and made her into little kitty burrito so she wouldn't scratch me to death. Caleb jumped up on the bed and I kept a hand on him while I let him sniff her, just in case. He was so excited and he was such a good boy! She was a little scared so I let her go back in her hiding spot. After I did that, she got a little wind of bravery in her! Caleb was laying next to me and now she'd pop her head out and make a little lounge at him and hiss. He'd jump but yet wouldn't move a muscle, just watched her. She started to tease him and would stick her head out, roll over on her back and goof around. I kept my hand on his collar the whole time, just for precaution. Eventually she was brave enough to come all the way out and crawled into my lap. Caleb got so excited and moved too quick so she got scared and ran under the bed. It'll take some time, but I think they'll be best of buds soon enough! Caleb was so good, he didn't try anything naughty even once. He was just super excited about his new friend. When it was time to go I had to drag and push him to get to his kennel. Bribing him with treats didn't even work. He wasn't done playing yet!
I see you in there...
