Rusty, Ruby & the gang

Tonight Rusty came outside and gave me a 'puff', not quite a bark. He immediately knew who I was and his heiny started wiggling away! I went inside and Ruby was barking. As soon as I let her out, the two of them were excitedly running circles around me! We headed outside right away and I fed Chloe, Heyday & Justin. Their water bucket was good for the night. It looked like Chloe and Heyday had taken a dip in the water. As soon as they finished eating, Justin decided he wanted to go for a dip too. Rusty met me when I came back in their yard, dancing around with his red ball. We played a good game of fetch tonight. Ruby kept running up to me to snuggle up for a back scratch. Later, we headed in for the pups to eat, while I got them some fresh water. Ruby went right into her bed when it was time, and they each got a treat before I left.

Khloe & Bruiser

Today miss Khloe came running all the way to the gate to greet me! She was dancing around excitedly. Bruiser came out into the yard too to say hi. They raced me to the porch and sat there watching me. When they saw I was going to go inside, they quickly ran in. I let them out in the house since it was a little hot out today. They each got a yummy meaty bone to start with. They took them to the rug and sat with them for a minute, then gobbled them down. Bruiser went and sat on the bed again for awhile, and today Khloe joined him. She was being silly and started spinning in circles, chasing her tail! Then she'd crouch down and bark at me, "C'mon lets play!" She followed me into the living room for another snack. Bruiser came out and snuggled in the chair with me for awhile. He was busy smelling the other doggie scents on me! Khloe was just happy for her scratches. I noticed they hadn't eaten much since yesterday. Probably just miss mom and dad too much! I brought out their dish and sat on the floor with them, to try and give them some company. That still didn't work, so we made a game out of it! I made silly sounds and tossed a few kibbles here and there. Khloe just thought that was the coolest thing! She raced around and snatched them all up. She was ready to nibble some food on her own after I got her appetite going. Bruiser just sat with me and enjoyed his back rubs. I found some good itchy spots too, that had him turning his head sideways! They each got a couple more treats before I left. They both walked me outside to say goodbye.

Taz & Clyde

Today the boys started barking when they heard me at the door. As soon as I walked in, they stopped and gave me the "Oh it's just you!" look. They followed me to the laundry room to dig out a couple rawhides from the jar. We headed outside and they both sat nicely for their snacks. They each found a good spot to curl up and work on them. Afterwards, Clyde came over by me and laid down. I went and sat at the edge of the patio and the boys both came over for some attention. They took turns sniffing at all the other pet smells on me. When we finally headed back in, they gave me those sad puppy dog eyes. "Are we going for our walk now?" I told them we would go later tonight when it wasn't quite so toasty outside. This evening I took the boys outside quick for a potty break. We headed in and got their dinner. Clyde of course finished up first, and Tax made a pretty good dent in his. Then, I asked if they wanted to go. They started bouncing around and raced to the garage door. Clyde was crying with excitement and could barely contain himself! We took a long walk down to their pond tonight. Once we got back home I let them out potty once more before bedtime.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I watered the plants a little quick before I headed inside. Both kitties were sitting on their kitty tower. They both just looked at me and waited there while I took care of their things. Kimmie stayed up there the whole time! Jerrie came down to say hi and to get brushed a bit. He decided to take a break and sit in the window next. I was still petting him and giving him chin scratches. Eventually he climbed back up to his spot to relax some more. Whil I pet him on the middle tier, I scratched at the bottom of the top tier to play with Kimmie a bit. She hung her head over the side to look at me, then occasionally a paw would come over the edge to swat at me. She's so funny!

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy was in her usual spot. I went out to visit with her for a bit. She hopped down and stretched out in a line of sunlight coming through the patio. She meowed at me and I gave her a few scratches on top of her head. After I got their food ready, I changed their litter pan out today. Next, I went to look for Sadi. Today, she was sleeping under the top end of the bed. She was all curled up and comfy. I woke her up to do her meds. She was pretty stuffy, so I soaked a tissue to get some of the crusties off. She was a good girl as usual. She wandered out to the living room and got her attention time in. She was really into the chin scratches today. She leaned into my hand and was purring loudly. She made sure I got the top of her head too. Her eye was still a bit cloudy today, so I will stop by again later.
