Izzy & Toby

Today miss Izzy came down the hallway and meowed at me. She kept talking to me while I got out the shrimp cube for the fishies. Izzy tagged along to go feed them. I got her some fresh water and cleaned her boxes, then it was attention time! She rolled around on the floor as I pet her. I found a couple toys behind her food bag, so I got those out for her to play with. I pulled the little mouse on a string toy around for her to chase a bit. That didn't last too long, because she just wanted to be pet! She purred away and made little imaginary "kitty biscuits" in the air with her paws. Later, I checked on Toby to make sure he had enough of everything. I brought out another treat for him. He stood up on his hind legs for it! That was cute. Miss Izzy was waiting just inside the door for me to return. I got her a few treats as well. I tossed them around for her to go get.

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy came wandering into the kitchen to see me. She rubbed up against my legs while I got their food ready. When I finished mixing, she wandered over to the window to sit in the sunlight. Sadi was sleeping in the sun shining through the bedroom windows. She sat up when I walked in, then I carried her to her spot. She sat and took her medications like a champ, as usual. I set her down by the food dishes, but she wasn't hungry at the emoment. She followed me out to the living room and got herself some chin scratchey time. Stormy came over for a little bit, then she plopped herself on the cardboard on the floor. Sadi just purred away and enjoyed her attention.

Flax & Booty

I didn't see Flax laying in his usual spot when I pulled up this morning. So, I headed inside to feed the fish quick. I got Flax some fresh food and water and didn't see him in the garage. Booty wasn't in there either, so he must be out exploring. I walked out back and found Flax lounging on his bed on the back porch. He stretched one paw out towards me as I knelt down to pet him. Today was the coolest morning we've had so far! It'll be another day Flax will just love with the comfortable temperatures. I walked back to the garage to grab Booty's food, and he came running in to see me. He must have heard me! He meowed and followed me to feed him his breakfast. He had eaten some of his canned food after I left last night. This evening Flax was sleeping on his bed in the garage. He heard me coming and sat up for his attention time. Booty was brave and came in there for some pets too! Booty followed me around, racing back and forth around my legs as I walked. Flax started on his dinner as soon as I got it ready for him. Booty came into his area to help me fill his food dish, but he just wanted attention of course! I spread some treats out for Flax before I left.

Harvey & King

This morning King did a big stretch in the hallway, while I let Harvey out. They both went outside. I filled their water bowl, then let Harvey in to eat. He waited inside until King had finished his breakfast. Harvey no more than got outside and the wrestling started! They messed around for quite awhile. King noticed something in the next yard and did a point, staring right at it with one paw up, ready to go! Then, back to more messing around with Harvey. King grabbed a frisbee and tried to get Harvey to play tug with him. When it was time we alo headed inside. Harvey made me laugh because he kept trying to bunk with King! He waltzed right in and they both were sitting in there looking at me. Haha!

Jackie & Meeko

This morning Meeko came running from the kitchen to say hi. He followed me to let Jackie out. Jackie quickly did his business, then came in while I got their breakfast out. Jackie was already bouncing around and running down the hallway. "C'mon let's go!" He sat while I got his collar on, then we went on our way. We got our long walk in. It was the coolest morning we've had so far! When we got back home, Jackie headed in to work on his breakfast while I watered the plants. This afternoon was pretty nice out. Jackie and I headed outside to play in the backyard. He saw a bunny in the grass and chased it to the other side of the yard. As soon as I called for him, Jackie left little bunny alone and came prancing back to me. He sat by me for some back scratches. I got his little leg going, so I guess I found the right spot! I got out another ice treat for him to work on. This evening Meeko sat at the table and got a little attention while Jackie worked on his supper. After Jackie finished, we had enough time to get a short walk in.


Shelby, Baby & the kitties

This morning Coco and Bitty were ready to come back inside as Shelby went out. While she was out enjoying the cool morning, I got everyone breakfast and cleaned the litter box. Shim and Tiny were curled up under the bed together. I went and talked to them for a minute before checking in on Baby. When I came back out, Coco was sitting on the kitchen counter meowing at me. For whatever reason, Bitty chased after her once she jumped down. I let him outside so she could eat without having to watch her back! Shelby just laid in the yard and listened to the birds chirping this morning. This evening Coco came back inside and Bitty wandered out with Shelby. I went and talked to Tiny as he sat in his spot under the bed. Shim was lounging in the corner and eventually made his way to the living room. I fed Baby quick, then visited with miss Shelby. The neighbors were out on either side tonight, so she kept wandering over to watch them. She'd let out a few of her quiet barks, then would go lay down. She had fun rolling around again this evening. Later, Shelby and I went back inside. Bitty and Coco were comfortable outside and didn't want to come in.
