Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

Spirit and Bitty were waiting for me by the door when I arrived this evening! I stopped to say hello for a little bit, but could see Shelby waiting for me at the back door with her new cat friend! I let Shelby inside and went out to turn on the sprinklers. Back inside, I went to see how Baby was doing. He was eating some hay and when he turned to look at me, he had a piece sticking out of his mouth; it was so cute! As soon as I picked up the treat cup, he came right to the gate. He enjoyed the treat and as soon as he was done, he started to run and hop around his cage and make little noises, as if he was saying "thanks"! I went back out and sat next to Spirit, who enjoyed a few scratches and even posed for a picture! Shelby then came over and put her hand on my arm, so I had to scratch her too!

Cali

Today Cali was sprawled out on the floor stretching all her legs out after I came in. She got a new flavor of food today, so she got to working on her supper right away. She was pretty rambunctious today, getting a little crazy with the shoe string! We were playing with that most of the time. She hopped up in her chair so I tossed one end up to her. She chased it and scrambled to the floor to keep after it! She grab the string, roll over gnawing on it, then start kicking her back legs at it. Once in awhile she'd take a break to give herself a bath in the kitchen. Then suddenly, she'd zoom across the room to sneak attack the string! Cali would go off and sneakily hide behind something or stand in the corner. Then she'd come flying from across the room again! Up in her chair again, she'd frantically come down after the string and do little somersaults. She cracks me up! I told her daddy would be home again soon, and pet her for a little while before it was time to go.

Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

Shelby's nose peered around the door as I arrived this morning. She ran back and forth to the back door and then back to me! I followed her and let her outside. It was a cool morning and the grass was wet. I turned the sprinklers on and went back inside to greet the other furry friends. Spirit was taking a drink and Bitty was perched on the couch. I said hello to both, gave them some scratches and rubs behind the ears. I found Baby sleeping in the morning sun. I said hello and he perked his ears up and turned around to say Hi! I opened up the door and he came out and sniffed me and tickled my nose! I gave him some new hay and a yogurt treat; he enjoyed both! Back outside, I spent the rest of my time with Shelby. She just loves to get her belly scratched!
