Biscuit, Dilly, Jezebel & Roxy

This afternoon Dilly was bouncing high up off the floor, excited to see me. Once we got outside, she was busy sniffing me like crazy! I think she could smell the kitties on me that I had just visited. Roxy wandered around a little, then went inside to grab a ball. Biscuit was busy exploring by the shed with Dilly, so Roxy got some one-on-one fetch for awhile. Eventually, Biscuit took over! He would get the ball, so Roxy would just stare at him and cry, "He stole my ball!" Soon he would get bored guarding the ball and would let her grab it to bring over to me for another throw. Bert came outisde and crawled up into my lap for some attention. She grabbed her hedgehog and pranced around with that a bit before running off to go explore. Dilly saw some birds sitting on the other side of the fence chirping, so she raced over and chased them off!



Jimmy, Sugar, Buddy & Charlie

This afternoon was a bit cloudy out, but still nice and warm. We spent awhile playing outside. Everyone took a turn over by me to get pet. Jimmy ran along the fence with his puppy friend for a bit, while Buddy and Sugar explored. I let them have the roam of the house for the afternoon. This evening the pups greeted me at the door, whining with excitement as they raced me to the backdoor. We went outside for a bit so they could take care of their business. They didn't linger for too long probably because it looked like it was going to storm. We came back inside so they could take their meds and eat their potatoes. After that, they all romped off to the living room. Jimmy hunted down a toy to play with and brought it to me multiple times. Buddy sat there staring at me from a distance and whining. I kept calling him over, but he would just sit and whine at me. Sugar waited by their bedroom door, fully prepared to be the first one in the kennel so she could be the first to get a treat.


Zeus, Zena & Baby

Zeus and Zena started barking when they heard me pull in. They were both doing a happy little wiggle dance in their cages! It was cloudy out today, but still a nice afternoon. Zeus and Zena were messiong around with each other for a little bit. Then, they all did some exploring. We heard some dogs barking in the neighborhood, which got them excited. Even Baby chimed in, talking back to the other dogs. When I let Zeus and Zena back in, I got Baby some more fresh water.




Miranda

This afternoon Miranda met me at the door to see who was home, then ran to wait at the back door. When I opened it, she ran the opposite way to quick grab a bone to bring out with us. She did her business, then sat by me for a quick back scratch. Then, she laid down on the patio for a bit. We played a little tug before it was time to head back inside.


Jerrie & Kimmie

This morning the kitties were both lounging on the kitty tree, looking out the window. After I delivered the mail Kimmie came to watch me clean their litter boxes. She raced out ahead of me on our way to the bathroom, then slowed down so I would have to stop and pet her! She climbed up by me while I refilled that water bowl. She rubbed up against my legs the whole way back to the front room. She was very snuggly again today! She immediately hopped up in my lap before Jerrie could, so he stayed on his perch. She rolled around in my lap for awhile, purring away and loving up the attention. Next I gave Jerrie his turn at a brushing. Kimmie kept trying to steal my attention back! I cleaned Jerrie's eyes and they looked much better today than they have been the last few days.



Tipper, Roz, Meeko, Georgia, Sky & horses

This morning the girls were dancing around excitedly when I let them out of their beds. They went outside for a bit while I took care of Meeko. He was chirping quite a bit this morning! He hung on the side of the cage and chewed on his crispy treat while I changed out his food and water. The girls came in for their breakfast next. Roz snuck a bite out of her food container while I got hers ready! Sneaky girl. I made sure she didn't get any of Tipper's. They quickly finished off their food, so they got their bones to work on next. I went to visit the kittens, and one shot out of the door as soon as I opened it! Of course little kitty wasn't fast enough for me, and I grabbed her before she got past me. I had my little snuggler in my lap while I played with the other. Later I went to see the horses. I put another bail out in the ring for them for today. They all decided to start eating it right away, each picking a spot. This evening the girls were jumping up and down at the back door when they saw me arrive. I let them in to come eat their dinner and get their snacks. Tonight the kitties made me laugh. They were crashing into each other trying to jump up at the feather toy! Then, one had the feathers in her mouth and tried walking away while I was still holding the other end. I finally let go and she dragged it away, with the other kitten chasing after the handle! The girls came outside with me while I went to go feed the horses. They were all standing in the front of the pasture, and made their way to their spots when they saw me coming. I got them some more hay and water, then went back up to the house to play with Tipper and Roz.
