Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning both Tyson and Morgan came out of the bedroom to see me right away. Toby, of course, was still sleeping! I had to go get his little heiny out of bed. Tyson was meowing at me as I came out, wanting his sink turned on. It was too chilly out for Toby this morning. He did his business, then came right back in! After he ate his breakfast we played with his toys. He brought out his squeaky squirrel first, then we played with his big dog. This afternoon after I got Toby out of bed, we took a nice long walk! As we passed the cat tails, we heard something rustling around in them. We stopped to look and realized it was a bunch of little birds hopping around in there. When we got back home, Toby got to spend the rest of the nice afternoon visit out in the backyard playing. Morgan was still sleeping in the same spot on the couch that he was this morning. Tyson has made it a habit to wait for his sink to be turned on. Tonight he actually ran to the sink! Toby went potty outside while I filled food bowls and cleaned the litter boxes. He ate his dinner when he came in. We wrestled around with his big dog some more, then he got out his squeaky duck. He brought it over and kept pushing it on my shoulder to make it squeak! He cracks me up!

Spencer, Maddie, Izzy, Willie, Tilly, Natilie, Potsy and El Nino

 
As I pulled in the driveway, I saw Potsy come running from across the street. She was a hungry girl! She meowed at me until I put her food down for her. I let the kiddos out to play in the backyard. Spencer and Maddie followed me with no problem. Nino was full of energy tonight! He zoomed around back and forth with the Corgis. He came running up to me, hopping up on the table then down and around trying to get my attention. He saw Potsy in the barn, so then he ran over to the gate and barked at her. Spencer and Maddie enjoyed getting their backs scratched! Spencer sat on his hind legs and pawed for more while Maddie did her little happy dance. Poor Izzy just sat by the back door, waiting to go inside! I fed everyone their supper and closed everything up tight so it would stay nice and warm for them tonight.

Cali

Cali was at the front door as usual today. She kept dropping and rolling right in front of my feet as I was walking around. I nearly stepped on her a few times! I had to do a little hop over her. She was very playful again today. She army crawled across the floor to get at the string. Cali swung at it, then scooped it up and rolled around hanging onto it. Later she partially curled up in my lap for some snuggle time. She took breaks to nibble on her canned or dry food, then more play time.

Sammy, Molly, Gracie, Couper and Roly Poly

The gang was happy to see me again today! We went outside to play after I got there. Roly and Gracie both hopped into my lap as soon as I sat down and Gracie decided to take a little nap next to me. They gave me lots and lots of kisses! Later, the pups all started to wrestle around and they got full of dried grass! I saw Sammy was digging and biting at something in the ground, so I went over to check it out. I couldn't see what he was after, unless he was eating dirt... Roly came through the doggie door with her big bone before we headed in for supper. It took her a couple tries to get it just right to go through! Molly started to eat her dinner right away without me putting the garlic on it. She got half way through, licked the side of the bowl and looked at me, "Hey where's the good stuff?". She just stared at me after that, so I had to put some on for her to finish. We went back outside after dinner. Couper hopped up in the chair with me, laid on her back and started kicked all her legs around. Gracie came up next and they both fought over my lap and who would get to kiss my face first! They calmed down and kissed each other's foreheads like good girls. When it was time for their treats, Sammy sat on his hind legs like he usually does. This time Roly tried to do it too! She did pretty good!

Coco, Mia & Daisy

Mia was bouncing up and down when I came in this morning, and was so excited she almost knocked me over! I let her go outside while I got the kitty food and her breakfast together. I found Coco sleeping on one of the shelves in the closet and Daisy was in the office curled up in one of the kitty beds. The cleaning ladies came in while I was there. I accidently tripped over the vacuum cord and unplugged it on her! Oopsie! haha. This afternoon Coco had moved to the couch. She ate a bunch for me! Daisy was still in the office, but she eventually came out and followed me around. She helped herself to some lunch while I was there as well. Mia didn't want to come inside for me at first, but she did when I tried again. Since she came in, we went for a nice long walk! When we got back home, she nibbled on a little bit of lunch for me while I sat with her. I put the rest outside for her so she could work on it later if she wanted. We sat outside together for a little while before it was time to go.

Dakota & Benny

It was a slightly breezy, chilly day out, but that didn't bother Kota and Benny! We took our usual long walk today. It was a pretty quiet day again, with not a whole lot happening as we went along. We did have a flock of birds fly out of a tree that we had just walked under. Kota and Benny both stopped to watch, then tried to jump up in the air as if they'd reach up and grab one! Benny talked to his neighborhood friends as usual today. When we got home, he was pretty tired out. He crashed on the rug by the back door and was ready for a nap!
