Suzie, Katie & Blackie

This morning the girls sat and gave me kisses as I scratched their tummies. We waited for Blackie to finish his food, then Suzie proceeded to lick his plate clean. I noticed the girls hadn't eaten much of their food from yesterday, so I went in there and called for them. Only Suzie came in by me (Blackie did too) and she seemed a little nervous. As I sat there with her while she ate, I figured out what it was! I had moved the beeping smoke detector out to the garage so it wouldn't bother them. Well... I could still hear it! So I took the towels out there and buried it in between them. I didn't hear it again after that. I took one of the food bowls in to Katie so she could work on some food too. We spent the rest of the time sitting on the couch all together. This evening everyone came to greet me when I came in. After Blackie finished his dinner, I took the girls for a walk. We took a longer one again to make up for this morning. They bounced around in the living room after we got back. Blackie was so excited! He raced to the couch to wait for me. Then he claimed my lap and was being a sassy boy, not wanting to share me with the girls. They figured it out and moved to the opposite side of me though. When it was time, I got them each a bedtime snack.



Michael, Lucy, Sampson, Hailey, Bunnies, Kisses & Donkeys

Today I met Michael at the front door and let him smell me for a minute. He didn't want me to pick him up just yet. Instead, I walked him out holding his collar. He went potty while I tended to the donkeys. Tinkerbell came right up to me to say hi! Surprisingly, they each took a treat from me. Tink was following me around closely. Kisses hopped right up to wait for dinner. Next, I went back to feed Michael his dinner. I took care of Hailey and started in by Uno until he finished. Then, he trotted along behind me to go back outside. Uno was very curious and hopped up by my lap as I cleaned the cage. I think Uno was more looking for those cranberries than anything! Next it was time to see Matilda and Elliot. Matilda was such a good girl as I cleaned her eye up. Such a sweetie! I let Michael back inside, then went to visit with Lucy and Sampson for a minute. Lucy danced around me excitedly. On my way out I gave Michael one last pet on the head.
