Taz & Clyde

This evening the boys came running when I got inside. We went outside right away so they could do their business. It wasn't long before someone in the neighborhood was lighting off loud fireworks. Taz came and sat by me right away, so we headed inside. I got each of the boys a treat to work on. Taz was doing pretty good on his, until he heard more popping. He took a break, then started again because Clyde was eyeing up his treat! I could tell Clyde wanted to go for our walk, but I told him we would tomorrow instead.

Mac

Today Mac came wandering up to the gate when I arrived. He started bouncing around as soon as I got in, ready for some fetch! I saw he has a fun swimming pool to cool off in. I got out his rope and we got started right away. He got quite a few throws in. Then, he went and laid in the pool, rope and all! He laid there a bit, then was ready for more. With one swish of his tail he shared his cool water with me! Haha! Luckily, he was kind enough to shake the excess water off away from me. We played for a long time, with Mac taking breaks for a dip in the pool now and again. I made sure he had fresh water in his favorite bowl, then got him his dinner. Before I left I tossed him a treat as well.

Izzy & Toby

Izzy came around the corner this morning, giving me her cute little squeaky meows. She rolled around on my feet while I took care of the fish. Today, Izzy just waited in her room for me to come back from cleaning her boxes. When I came down the hall to see her, she stood in the doorway. She did this adorable hop, standing on her back feet and attempting to rub against the door frame at the same time. It was an excited "Yay, you're back!" We sat in her room and she loved up all the attention. I laid on the floor with her a bit and she came and rubbed her face against mine. She even gave me a few kisses! Then, Izzy was having fun playing with her feather toy. She rolled around with it and held it in her paws, biting at it. She waited in her spot for me, while I went out to see Toby quick.

Jackie & Meeko

This morning was pretty nice out when I came to see Jackie. It's going to be a hot one today. I fed Meeko, who was following me around and meowing for his breakfast. Jackie went out for a quick potty break, then I got hus breakfast ready too. I grabbed out a plastic bag for our walk, then he knew what we were gonna do. He did his usual bouncing around the house, then sat to get his collar on. He got a nice long walk in. This afternoon was hot out. Jackie laid in the grass a bit to soak up some sunshine. I brought out his ice treat and he worked on that in the shade. When he finished that off, he found his outside green snake toy and came prancing over with that. I got it away from him a couple times to throw, so we got a short game of fetch in. This evening Meeko was on the counter and knocking things down all over the place! Silly kitty. I got him his supper and let Jackie out. Jackie and I went for a shorter walk this evening since it was hot and humid out. He didn't care how long of a walk that we took, just that we took one! He got to panting a lot sooner than usual, so I kept it shorter. Once we got back he ate his dinner. Meeko made me laugh since he sprawled out on the table. He was laying on his back and doing a swimming motion with his front paws! Silly cat. We got a short game of tug in with Jackie's black sock toy after that. I gave Jackie his kong filled with snacks to work on for the evening.

Shelby, Baby & the kitties

This morning Shelby wandered outside with Coco. Shim was lounging on a table next to the couch, watching me as I went about. Bitty was relaxing on the bed. I went and fed Baby before heading out with Shelby. She was over by the fence looking down at the grass. Then, she heard a dog bark and went racing to the other side of the yard. Coco was just chillin on the patio, working on her tan. Haha! Later, I went in to fill the water dishes for outside. Both Bitty and Tiny decided they were ready to go out now. This evening I pulled up and saw Bitty sprawled out on the front patio. Then, I saw he had a friend! There was a big grey kitty laying on the other side of the patio with Bitty. He had on a collar and his name was Emmery. I guess he wasn't much of a friend with Bitty, since Bitty got upset any time Emmery moved. Haha! Eventually, the big grey kitty went on his way. I went in and let miss Shelby outside. Coco was ready to come inside by now. Tiny came in as well, but he went back out again soon after. I sat outside with Shelby for awhile. She kept getting excited about the neighbors being out. When we headed inside for the evening, Tiny and Coco decided to hang outside.
