Jerrie & Kimmie

Today both kitties were laying in their kitty tree, basking in the sunshine. They both looked at me as I walked in, but neither moved from their spot. I went to do my chores quick, then returned. I was able to pet Kimmie with one hand and brush Jerrie with the other. I had both kitties' motors running! Jerrie's sore is looking better each day. Kimmie would lay her head back so I'd give her a little chin scratch. Jerrie would be scratching his little chin on the bristles. Kimmie even tolerated a little brushing today when I switched. So then Kimmie got brushed and Jerrie got some pets too. We did that the entire time today, and both kitties were in heaven!

Shadow & Lucy

This morning Lucy was right by the door to greet me. She did a purr-meow and rubbed up against m legs as soon as I walked inside. She followed me around while I pulled down their food and took care of their litter box. Shadow came out from the closet and went into the living room. They both were excited when I opened the cupboard! Shadow was standing up next to me on his hind legs while I got a plate ready for them. Lucy nibbled a bit, but then wandered off. Shadow was happy to eat from both portions, taking a bite here, then another from there. I left the front door open, so miss Lucy could look out the window. So, that's right where she was! She enjoyed some attention from me, then would race to the door when a bird flew by! Miss Lucy was very lovey dovey today and kept coming over to be pet. After Shadow was done nibbling on his snack, he went to the front room to sit on the bench and look out the window.

Titus & Angel

This morning I got the collars put on and let the pups out the door. They no more than got outside, then they turned around and just looked at me. Eventually, they went off to do their thing while I got their breakfast ready. After they ate, we went out back. Angel wandered around, then went to lay in her house. Titus played and messed around with me awhile. Then, they both were trying to take over my attention! Later, Titus decided to mess with Angel, but she yelled at him. That, of course, got him all excited. He started racing laps around the yard as fast as he could! He'd make a turn and slide on the wet grass. You could see it flying up behind him as he ran. This evening Titus and Angel met me in the garage, bouncing excitedly as usual. They settled down long enough to eat their dinner. We headed out back again and they spent most of their time exploring and sniffing around the yard. Angel came and laid by me for a bit, so I pet her. Titus saw that and came bounding over to get some attention too! They both relaxed a little in the grass before bedtime.

Mac & Abby

Mac and Abby were very happy to see me this morning. I lifted them both up over the gate, then we headed right outside. They both trotted off to one side of the yard together. A neighbor dog was out too, and kept getting excited when he'd hear Mac and Abby wandering around. They were very busy exploring this morning! It was a nice sunny morning for it too. Each would take a break to come visit me and get a little attention. Before I left I made sure their fan was on, they had fresh water, and got their collars back on. I quickly gave Mac his eye drop, then they each got their treats. They wasted no time, and took off in different directions to go enjoy their snack! This evening the pups ran inside and started dancing around my feet. I took their collars off and gave Mac his drops right away. Then, I went and sat on the floor in the living room. Both Mac and Abby came racing over, flopping down next to me. They both laid their heads on my legs and were laying the same way. That made me laugh! I gave them some belly scratches. Abby eventually got up and played musical couches, until she settled for the back of the one facing the door. She kept barking about something, but I couldn't hear what they were hearing. She'd get Mac going too, but then he'd stop and come to roll over by me for more belly scratches. He sure loved every minute of that! When it was time, I grabbed their treats and we headed into the laundry room for bedtime.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

Today I let Cate, Carson and Toby out. It took a little coaxing to get Cate out the door, but finally she went. She's so silly! I let them do their thing, while I went to water the plants. Bella joined me out front and walked along with me to inspect my work. She was trying to be sneaky and come inside with me several times, but I knew what she was up to! I let the three inside and let Little Foot have his turn outside. While he was busy I watered the back plants and got Toby his medicine. All four pups were happy to get a treat before I left. Tonight miss Bella heard me pull up. She met me at my car and walked me all the way to the door. She stretched up on her hind legs and pawed on the door. "Can I come in too?" She ran around to the back to meet me while I changed out the water too. Silly girl. She pretended like she was going to eat, then made a sneak attack for the door. Nice try! I let the pups out next for their first potty break. Cate was so excited and wanted to play! She kept hopping up and pawing at me. I finally had to scoot her little heiny out the door so she would go potty! She's such a cutie. Everyone did well throughout the day again. While they were out, I got everyone's dinner ready. I fed them as soon as they came inside, then let Little Foot out for his turn. Toby got his medicine, then Little Foot came back in to eat as well. After they all finished, it was time for round two of potty breaks.
