Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

This evening Shelby, the orange kitty and I enjoyed the lightening show on the porch as the lawn was being watered! They ran around and chased each other in the back yard, with the kitty hiding on the trampoline as Shelby ran by! After we turned the sprinklers off, Shelby and I said good night to the kitty and went inside for dinner and a treat! Bitty and Spirit were both in the kitchen when we came inside. I gave Shelby half an egg and a piece of bacon for her evening treat; she enjoyed them very much! All three followed me as I went in to say hello to Baby. The room was dark, so he popped up when the lights went on! I hand fed him a few pieces of hay and laughed when he would rip the piece away from my hand and munch on it! A few more scratches to each and I was off for the evening; sweet dreams my furry friends!

Sasha

Sasha was again perched on the white, leather chair when I arrived this morning. She stretched and jumped down to greet me! I gave her some love and attention and then we both went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast! First I added some kibble to the bowl, then placed a new plate of wet food! She was nibbling on that, when I put the plastic lid with the yummy yogurt mix down! Sasha stopped and went straight for the yogurt! She was so happy, you could hear her purring! I snapped a cute picture of her as she was enjoying her morning treat! After breakfast, we sat on the couch together. I softly petted Shelby, as we enjoyed the peaceful morning!

Auggie and Pattie

As I came through the front door, I found Pattie lounging in the living room! However, she didn't stay there for long! As soon as she saw who I was, she sprinted up the stairs! I went looking for Auggie and was surprised when I didn't find him in his usual spot on the chair in the bedroom. I filled the kibble bowls, refreshed their water bowl and put out two wet food bowls. Then it was time to clean the litter boxes and that's when I found Auggie. He was sunning himself on the couch upstairs! He gave me a friendly, "meow" as I came over to give him some attention. As I came around the couch, Pattie snuck around the other side and back downstairs! I thanked both Auggie and Pattie for a fun time!

Shelby, Bitty, Spirit and Baby

Shelby's little black nose snuck through as I opened the door this morning! She did her little prancy-dance and happy bark while we made our way to the back door! The orange kitty outside greeted us as we came out to turn on the sprinklers! Shelby ran around the back yard and the cat ran after her! I went back in to say good morning to my other furry friends! Baby was sitting in the sun and got up on his hind legs to say hello! I opened up the gate and scratched his soft, furry head. I love watching his little nose move up and down; he's so cute! Spirit came in to the room and meowed, as if to say "I'm hungry". I checked on the cat food and shook the food dish to get more kibble down into the bowl; that made Spirit happy! On my way out, I stopped to say hello to Bitty, who was perched on the chair in the kitchen!

Lucy & Shadow

Today I could hear Lucy talking to me as she made her way to come see me. She was just purring away! I pet her for a little while and noticed that Shadow hadn't popped out yet. So, Lucy helped me look for him. We found him curled up by the window sill in the guest room. Lucy hopped up there too and started rubbing her face on the corner. Shadow must have been pretty comfortable, because he hung out in there the rest of the time. Lucy followed me to watch as I cleaned their litter box. Then she and I played some more with their rope toy. She would jump up on her hind legs to grab it, then started rolling around kicking her legs about. She gave me a few "meow meow"s as I was leaving.

Dakota & Benny

Today Benny ran circles around me and across my feet. I guess someone was excited to get going! We got on our way and took a long walk since it was cooler out. Kota and Benny had some fun today with a little three-legged grasshopper. Kota would hop along behind it, then nudge it with her nose. Benny sniffed at it a little too, but soon lost interest. He was more concerned with the halloween decorations flapping in the wind. We felt little sprinkles every now and again, but the rain held off, for the most part. Just before we turned the last little corner towards home, it started to rain, then dounpour! We high-tailed it the rest of the way back home. The neighbor kids accidently threw their baseballs over the fence, so I looked around for those while Kota and Benny relaxed.
