Izzy & Toby

Today when I walked in I was greeted by Izzy's squeaky little meow. We talked back and forth. Haha! She followed me around as I took care of the fish, dropping to the floor to roll around anytime I stopped. After I took care of her things, we went to her room to give her some attention. She took breaks from her pet sessions to grab a bite to eat or to play with her toys. We had fun playing with her mouse toy, then I'd set the feather toy on top of her head and she'd roll around and "kill" it! She's so funny. Later I said hi to Mr. Toby, who was super excited for his treat! He kept jumping up and down, making his ears bounce around. When I got in, Izzy was sitting right by the door. She hopped up and turned around to have me follow her. I got her a few treats too.

Flax & Booty

This morning Flax was snoozing in his favorite spot on the patio. He didn't hear me walk up and he jumped a little when he saw me standing by him! I sat with him out there for a little bit, then I went in to feed the fish. Booty was already in the garage waiting for me. He was walking around, purring and meowing at me. He did a big stretch and kept using the vehicle tires as scratching posts! He followed me to get him some fresh food. Booty started nibbling on the dry, then had a few bites of the new can I opened for him. He stopped as soon as I walked out to follow me around some more. This evening Flax was comfy on his bed in the garage. He was awake and sitting up, watching the world outside. He doesn't seem to care much about Booty being around anymore. Booty was in there walking around my legs and being his silly self. Flax just stayed where he was comfortable, and even got up to eat a bit. Booty laid in the grass for awhile and relaxed. Flax knew when it was treat time and followed me around from one side of the house to the other.

Harvey & King

This morning I was surprised to see my boy Caleb! He started wiggling his heiny in his bed right away. I let the other two out to do their business and said hi to him. Harvey came in for his breakfast and waited for King to finish his. I let Caleb go out for a minute to go potty. I wasn't sure how well they play together, so I stayed close and then put him back inside. King was carrying his red ball around quite a bit this morning. I threw that for him, but then he was already bored with that! So, I threw his fribee next and he caught that a few times. He and Harvey got their play time in until it was time to head back inside. Today they both went right to their own beds without me having to say a word. Such good boys!

Jackie & Meeko

This morning Meeko was peeking out the back window at us while Jackie went out for his morning potty break. He wandered around on the table as I walked by for a little attention. He kept rubbing his face on the cards that were hanging over the counter. He got started on his breakfast while Jackie had a couple bites too. Soon Jackie was bouncing around, ready for our morning stroll. We got another nice long walk in. When we got home he finished most of his breakfast, then wanted to get a quick game of tug in! This afternoon Jackie and I went in the backyard. He chewed on his stick for awhile, bringing it to me every once in awhile to throw. He had fun watching a little girl playing with the little snap fireworks that you throw on the ground. Later, Jackie was a good boy while I worked on his mani-pedi. Haha! We played outside for a little while after that and hung out in the shade. This evening I fed Meeko, then Jackie went on our walk right away. We got a pretty long one in tonight. Jackie got a little jumpy when we heard a big firework boom. But, that was the only one. We got home and I got Jackie his dinner. After a little while, we went to play outside. He wanted to play with one of his outside light up balls, and kept pawing at it in the bin. I tossed it out for him and he had a blast with it!

Shelby, Baby & the kitties

This morning Shelby did a little prance on her way down the hall to see me. She went outside right away. Bitty came crawling out of the hidey hole to come in and eat breakfast. Baby was happy doing his thing while I got him some fresh food ans water. After cleaning out the litter box, I headed out by Shelby. Coco was finally ready to come in now, and Bitty made his way back outside. Kitty exchange! Haha. Bitty sat and groomed himself in the warm sunshine. Shelby enjoyed her lounge time in the grass. She would come over for some attention now and again. This evening I saw Shim was just hanging out on the back of the couch,  with his legs literally just dangling there. Haha! Shelby must have been napping, because it took her a minute to come see me. Bitty and Shelby went out right away, so I went to go talk to Tiny, who was in his spot under the bed. I talked softly to him and could hear him purring. Guess who finally came out to see me! It didn't take long before he stuck his nose over to sniff at me. Then, once I gave him the tiniest chin scratch with one finger so I wouldn't scare him, he was finally convinced! He came wandering out for some attention. Then, he followed me everywhere! He sat in Baby's room while I fed him, then came outside with me to see Shelby. Before I left I made sure everyone was in for the night since there will be loud fireworks tonight.
