Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning Blackie followed me to get everyone's breakfast. Suzie is slowly getting more and more comfortable with me. Katie came to sit with me to be pet while Blackie worked on his food. Then, Suzie would make her rounds, stopping by for a quick pet now and again too! She barked at first when I had come in, but was quiet after she came by for attenion. After Blackie was done, all I did was go sit in my spot where I leash them, and they both came racing over, crying in excitement! We went for a nice walk this morning. We even saw another Golden Retriever out taking its human for a walk! When we got home I sat on the floor by the table. Katie and Blackie took up most of my attention. Suzie wandered around nearby, but I figured out she was waiting for Katie to leave. As soon as Katie went to work on breakfast, Suzie was glued to my side! This evening there was a huge pile of leaves up against the garage door. It was very windy out today! I had to sweep them out of the way so it would close for me. Blackie worked on his dinner as I pet Katie. Suzie would come by once in awhile. As soon as he finished, both girls started getting excited without me even moving yet! I sat on the couch for a minute and all three piled up next to me. As soon as I grabbed the.leashes the girls were right next to me, each wanting their leash on first. We went for a long walk this evening since it was just gorgeous out. When we got home, Katie and Blackie snuggled up with me.




Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today Heiny raced up to the fence as I pulled in, with Suzzie right behind. Kitty Cat was lounging in the window as I went by. She rubbed up against the glass when I tapped on it. Quartz was already standing with his front paws in the sink, waiting for me to turn it on. I pet him for a minute, then went to see Chocolate. She was sitting up on the bed. She enjoyed a long chin scratch before I went to let the girls in. They both waited while I added food to their bowls. They each worked on dinner as I cleaned up and refilled food and water dishes. When I finished I sat in by Suzzie. Heiny and Kitty joined us and each got their share of pets.



Jerrie & Kimmie

This afternoon I found both kitties snoozing away in the computer room. I almost didn't see Kimmie at first. She was curled up in a ball on the blue couch, while Jerrie was in his usual spot on the kitty tower. He was soaking up some some sun through the window. Kimmie jumped onto the treasure chest so she could say hi to me. Then she jumped on my lap in the blue chair for some attention. Next, I took care of their food, water, and litter pans. I came back into the computer room and Jerrie hadn't moved, but Kimmie had joined him, sleeping away on the very top of the tower.


Buddy, Jimmy, Sugar & Charlie

This afternoon as I was opening the cages, I realised Sugar was all tangled up under one of the blankets, so she ran out of the cage looking like a little ghost puppy. It was so funny! I let the three of them outside so they could soak up some more sun. It was pretty windy out, but they still sunbathed again. I sat in the grass with them for a bit. Jimmy took a seat on my lap, while the other two wandered the fenceline.

Buddy, Jimmy, Sugar & Charlie

This afternoon, I let the little ones out of their cage so we could go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The sun was out and the air was perfect, and the puppies loved it. Jimmy layed down in the grass on the side of the house. The other two followed and the three of them sunbathed. This evening Jimmy and Buddy greeted me at the door. They all started running around excitedly, ready to go out. I sat outside and waited for them to be done. We went back in so the boys could have their meds. After that, they all went to the living room to play with their toys and chew on their bones.




Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today when I arrived I heard a band playing! Guess the neighbors were rockin' out. Haha! The girls said hi, then made their way to the door. Kitty ran from the living room to the kitchen to wait for me. Chocolate was sitting in the window tonight. Maybe she was listening to the music! I put the cat tree down on the ground as requested, before going to turn on the water for Quartz. I pet him for a minute, then went to let the girls in. They couldn't decide if they wanted to go in or out! Maybe it was the nice weather. After they both got in, I went to sit in the kitchen with Heiny. Kitty hopped right in my lap! Heiny walked by several times, making her laps. One time, Kitty stretched out her paw and put it on Heiny's back. She liked that! I think she found a good use for Kitty... back scratcher! Later we went by Suzzie. Heiny curled up next to her and they both got some attention.



Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I saw Jerrie peeking at me from around the couch in the living room. Kimmie was sitting at the top of her perch, and hopped down to see me right away. Today both kitties followed me into the laundry room and decided to snack on their dinner while I cleaned up. When I finished, I headed back to the front room. I heard a galloping sound, then saw Jerrie come racing in by me! He hopped up on the desk and was a good boy while I cleaned his eyes. Kimmie went to sit in the window behind the curtain to watch the black and white neighbor kitty outside. Jerrie curled up on the middle tier for awhile and enjoyed a good chin and back scratch. Later I played with Kimmie for a bit too. She kept playing peek-a-boo with me through the tunnel!




Daisy & Casper

This morning I went to grab the food dishes and get the kitties' breakfast ready. Daisy was curled up in her bed when I grabbed her dish. When I returned, she was in the doorway, waiting for me to bring her food. She started to eat a bit while I cleaned the litter boxes. Afterwards, it was time to find Casper. I checked in the closet first today. He had switched it up again though, and was back under the bed upstairs. He came out and on his way to the stairs, he stopped by me. He rubbed up against my back a few times, then proceeded to the hallway.



Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning Blackie met me in the back room and waited while I gave the girls their breakfast. Next, it was his turn. Suzie was barking when I first got in, but Katie was actually quiet. Katie came in by me and got a couple treats while we waited for Blackie to finish. I waited until Suzie calmed down a bit, then I got them excited by grabbing the leashes! We went for a nice long walk this morning. When we got home, then Blackie got his snuggle time. This evening Blackie was excited to see me. He worked on his dinner while I sat with him. Suzie just still isn't too sure about me. She was barking when I got there and had Katie going for a minute. But then Katie came over to see me and quieted down. I walked into the living room and sat on the floor. Then, without grabbing the leashes yet, I asked if the girls wanted to go for a walk. That got them excited! At least they love me when I walk them! We took a nice stroll this evening since it was still very nice out. When we got home, Blackie and Katie snuggled up with me on the couch until it was time to go.



Suzie, Katie & Blackie

Blackie came to meet me at the door this morning. He followed me around until he got his breakfast. The girls barked at me a little bit while I sat with him. Katie came up to me, expecting a treat in my hand. When she didn't get one, she ran back in the living room. As soon as Blackie was finished, I grabbed the leashes. Katie took no time at all to run up and get hers on! It took Suzie a couple tries before I could catch her long enough to hook her up. Meanwhile, Blackie was jumping in my lap, "Take me! I'll go!". We took a nice long walk this morning. The sun was nice and warm! We saw some other pups out walking as well. Once we got back home and I unhooked them both, everyone raced for my lap when I sat down. Blackie was even standing up against me to try and get closer than the girls. He is used to getting all the attention! We started hearing a beeping sound that was freaking them out a little, so I went on the hunt for it. It was one of the smoke detectors on the table (without removable batteries). So, I took it into the back room and placed it between a couple towels, so they couldn't hear it anymore. Suzie was attached to my leg the whole time as I was wandering around! Katie, who had taken to hiding, emerged after the sound was gone to snuggle up with us a little longer. Tonight was simply gorgeous out yet. I came in to see Blackie in the back room. He followed me to get his dinner. The girls barked a bit, I think more just out of habit than anything. Katie came and sat with me and got pet right away. She barked a couple times while I pet her, in response to Suzie's barks. After Blackie was done, I grabbed the leashes again. They were so excited they were crying! They both raced over to get their leash on, and away we went. Tonight after we got home, everyone piled on the couch with me. I even got kisses from all three! All was quiet until I got up to leave. Suzzie started in right away haha! Katie started with her initially, but she stopped and was quiet after. She even walked me to the door, so I pet her for a couple more minutes before I left.

Frankie

Frankie was sitting right inside the door when I arrived today. She started wagging her tail immediately and sat still so I could slip her leash and collar on. Then we headed outside. She quickly took care of her business, although she went straight to sniffing around excitedly afterwards. I let her do her thing for awhile, until more cars started to pull in the parking lot. Then we headed back in, just to be on the safe side.  Once inside, I gave her a couple chicken treats. She was so happy, she devoured them instantly. Then we both took a seat so I could give her some hugs and back scratches.


Cali

Today Cali greeted me with her usual crashing onto the floor and rolling around. She followed me around this afternoon and plopped down to roll over nearby, wherever I happened to be! It only took a glance in her direction for her to get going. That made me laugh! She was very lovey today, rubbing up against everything. After awhile she decided to curl up in her chair and relax. Cali kept disappearing down the hallway until I would call her back. One time I followed along with her and she was going to go sit in the window in the back room by her kitty tree. I can't blame her. It was gorgeous outside! She kept chirping every time she would see a bird fly by.



Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Jerrie was curled up on his favorite chair when I walked in. I said hi to him, then Kimmie popped out from behind the curtain, jumping up onto the kitty tree! She followed me around again today and helped me change their water in the bathroom. After I was finished, I went back in by Jerrie, with Kimmie following. Jerrie enjoyed a nice long brushing, while Kimmie sat in the window. When he was finished, Kimmie got her turn to play. She chased after my fingers or the strings on my sweatshirt! We had fun until it was time to go.



Daisy & Casper

This morning I gathered the food bowls as usual. Daisy was snuggled up in her little bed in the bathroom. I cleaned boxes and then fed the fish next. After I was done, miss Daisy had finally gotten up to go work on her food a little. I went to go find Casper again, starting where I had found him yesterday. He decided to switch it up again today and was back in his normal spot in the closet!



Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon was another beautiful day for Sugar, Buddy and Jimmy to spend some time outside. They all raced out of their cages to the back door. We all sat on the side of the house again today. Buddy and Sugar came to get some attention from me before they curled up by each other in the sun. Buddy gave me a couple more kisses on the cheek! Jimmy laid in the exact same spot as yesterday. Tonight was still so nice out. I let the boys out potty while I got their dinner and meds ready. After everyone finished, we all went outside. We spent the rest of our time out there until bedtime. They had some fun exploring and visiting with the neighbor dogs. Then, they all cuddled up on their bed and enjoyed the beautiful evening.

Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today Kitty was peeking at me from the corner of the kitchen, while Quartz was doing the same from the bedroom. As soon as I headed his way, he bolted to wait for me at the sink. Miss Chocolate was sitting pretty on the guest bed, loving up that sunshine. It appears someone had some fun yesterday... the kitty tree was knocked over. I moved the little wooden flower pot it was leaning on so I could lean it against the wall instead. Too high for me to reach to get it back up! I gave Chocolate a long chin scratch before going to see the girls. I sat out by Heiny, with Kitty wandering around by us. Then, it was Suzzie's turn! Heiny and Kitty followed me to visit with her. Suzzie snuggled her face on my lap for a little while, as Heiny was busy nudging her head under my arms for attention too. Kitty was rubbing up on my back and the kitty litter bag next to me. Just not enough hands for everyone. When I was leaving today, I saw the girls race to the fence to bark at two dogs that were running around loose.





Cali

Today miss Cali was right at the door to greet me as usual. She rolled around in the kitchen while I got her food together. After I finished with my things, I sat in the living room with Cali. She had fun chasing after her string for a little bit. Soon, she climbed up into her chair to relax. She still had some fun with her string up there though! I had to laugh because I noticed her ears would twitch forward every time I moved it a little bit. Cali curled up on my back for awhile today, then got down to go nibble on some more of her food. Before I left she was snuggled back up in her chair and cleaning her face with her paws.


Jerrie & Kimmie

Both Jerrie and Kimmie were lounging on their kitty tree today when I got in. Kimmie was at the top, doing a big stretch before she hopped down to see me. She followed me around as I took care or their things. She even stopped me in the hallway, blocking my path with another stretch. "You can pet me if you want...." I gave her a quick little scratch on the chin before going to the laundry room. When I finished I cleaned Jerrie's eyes out. He was such a good boy! He wandered off into the bedroom for a bit. I played with Kimmie for awhile before it was time to go.



Daisy & Casper

Today I came in and gathered the food bowls for the kitties. Miss Daisy was curled up comfortably in her little bed. She stayed there while I cleaned the boxes in her room. When I came back, she had started to work on her yummy food. Next, I fed all the fish. The beta was very lively in his tank, so he didn't scare me today! Later, I went searching around for Casper. He wasn't in his usual spots. So finally I went upstairs to look under that bed. Sure enough! He came out and thought about running off, but instead, this time he let me pet him for awhile. When it was time to go he led the way back down the stairs.



Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon was just gorgeous out! I let the pooches outside and they all ran to the side of the house. They each curled up in a spot and soaked up some of that warm sunshine. I sat by Buddy for a little bit and he came over to give me some kisses. Little Jimmers loved it so much he didn't want to come inside at first! Tonight I let the boys out while I got their dinner ready. After they finished, everyone wanted to go out to play for awhile. When they came in, Jimmy and I played a little fetch. Before bedtime they each lined up in the kitchen for a cookie.

Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today I said hi to the girls at the fence for a little bit before heading inside. Heiny started galloping to the back door when she saw me head to the house. I passed by Kitty sitting in the window, doing a big stretch. She ran to the door to meet me inside. I went down the hall and Chocolate was sunning herself as usual. Quartz was already standing in the sink, waiting for me. I let the ladies inside so they could work on dinner while I cleaned the litterboxes. Kitty always likes to sit and eat from the bowls up above me while I do that. Later, when I went to shut the water off, Quartz was snuggled up on the master bed and Chocolate was sitting pretty on the makeup table! I visited with each of the girls for awhile. Of course Kitty got plenty of attention as well.




Cali

Today Cali was happy to see me, rubbing up against my pant legs as I came inside. She sat at the end of the kitchen and watched me get her food ready. Whenever I glanced over at her, she would drop and start rolling on the ground! She's so silly. I cleaned her box while she ate some of her food. When I returned, she was loving up on my purse again! Next, she wandered over to her paper bag and was rubbing her cheeks on that for awhile. I laid on the floor again today and Cali had fun climbing around on my back. She curled up for a little bit, then we played with her string. When she was bored with that, she hopped up in her chair. Occasionally, she would swat at the string. Otherwise, she pretended to ignore it, all the while keeping a close eye on its every move!


Daisy & Casper

This morning I heard Casper's little bell jingling somewhere in the living room. I went and gathered their dishes for breakfast. Daisy was sitting in the bathroom and started meowing at me as I went by. Casper came running into the kitchen when he heard me open their canned food. But, then he saw me. "Oh it's you!" He turned right around and headed the other way. At least he came out for a little bit this time! Daisy got working on her food while I cleaned litter boxes. Next I fed all the fishies. The beta had me worried for a minute, because he was sitting under the filter tube and wasn't really moving. Luckily, a pellet of food sank down right in front of him and he darted to eat it! Phew! Curious, I went to go search for Casper. I found him in his favorite spot, hiding behind clothes in the closet.

Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today Kitty was right by the door, waiting for me to come in. Quartz came and escorted me down the hall to turn on his sink. Chocolate was snuggled up at the top of the pillows today. She looked over the top and gave me a cute look. She just wanted a good chin scratch! I let the girls in to work on their dinner. I spent some time by Heiny first, then went to sit with Suzzie. She barked at Kitty again today when she got too close to her food. Otherwise, she didn't care if Kitty was in there. After Kitty got barked at, she sat in the laundry room grumpily. Heiny didn't want to cross her path! After a little while she was back in my me, purring away in my lap. When I went back to see Quartz and Chocolate, they both were lounging on the bed. Quartzie sprawled out, reaching for me to pet him.
