Flax

This morning Flax was a sleepyhead! It took him a little bit to get up at first. When he did, we made our way outside and started on our walk. We got quite a bit of rain over the past couple days, so there was a new little stream running through the grass. We crossed that, but I had to stay behind when Flax waded through the big stream! He wandered and sniffed around up there for awhile. He eventually made his way back home and curled up on his bed on the patio. He spent the rest of the morning outside. This afternoon we sat on the patio for a few minutes, then Flax was ready to head in. He sure has his routine down. We sat on his bed inside and he took a nap while I scratched his back. This evening Flax popped his head up from in the kitchen. He headed outside to do his business while I grabbed the mail. We sat out on the patio again for a long time and enjoyed the cool evening air. He knew when it was bedtime and followed me inside to get his dinner and treats.

Suzzie, Heiny, Quartz, Chocolate & Kitty Cat

Today Kitty was sitting where Boo always used to wait for me, ready to greet me as soon as I came in. She did a big stretch and started purring right away as I gave her a few pets. Chocolate was laying on the guest bed today, soaking up the warm sunshine coming in through the window. I gave her a long chin scratch before going to see Quartzie. He was waiting for me at his post by the faucet. I visited with him, then it was time to let the girls in! Miss Kitty helped me this time, gabbing away at me. She followed me to clean the main litter boxes, while the girls worked on dinner. Quartz enjoyed some more attention, peering down at me from the counter while I tended to that box, taking breaks to give him a pet. When I finished I sat in by Suzzie and was soon joined by Kitty and Heiny. I had to laugh as Kitty got snuggly with Suzzie at one point, laying behind her like she does behind me. She was so talkative today! The girls were excited for their attention as well. I called for Heiny once when she was making her rounds to her bowl. She suddenly came running down the hall, then plopped down with Suzzie and I.

Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This afternoon everyone raced out of their cages to wait for me at the back door. They all played outside for quite awhile this afternoon, since the sun was out. Jimmy went and sunned himself on the side of the house. Sugar did a little exploring, then ended up curling up on her bed. Buddy did his usual sniffing around all over the place. After awhile he wanted to go in, so I followed. He just wanted treats! He went to the treat door, did his little cry and pawed at the door repeatedly. I let the others in and they got to roam around the house the rest of the afternoon. This evening everyone came running up to see me, even Sugar! While we headed to the door, she veered off into her hideout room. The boys went potty quick, then it was time for dinner. Afterwards, they spent awhile outside again. Jimmy took off out the door barking, because he heard other pups barking! We came in and Jimmy got some fetch in before bedtime.
