Griffin & Macy

This evening as soon as I opened the door, the pups started barking. Macy came right up to me and continued for a bit. By the time we made it to the back door, I think she remembered who I was. We went outside and she got to sniff at me awhile. I grabbed a ball and tossed it for Griffin. He wanted attention instead! He stood by me for a few back scratches. Later, we headed inside so they could get some food and water in before bedtime. They both nibbled a bit. Then, Griffin wandered off and curled up on a chair.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

Today I went inside and let Carson, Cate & Toby outside. It was nice and cool out this morning again, because it had just finished raining. I was going to let them stay out a bit longer, but since it was wet outside, Cate and Toby wanted back in pretty quick. I let them come in and roam around the dog room awhile. Since it had stormed all night, the plants didn't need watering this morning. So instead, I took that time to clean up the dog room a little. It was getting pretty fuzzy in there. I let Little Foot out for his turn too. Then, I went to feed momma turtle. This evening everyone went out fpr a potty break quick after I changed out their water. They all came in for dinner. While they were busy, I got Bella some fresh food and water, then went to take care of filling the tree bags. I got the back ones finished, then started letting the pups back outside again. Bella was hanging out there with us, visiting the pups too!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Both kitties were laying on their tower this morning, facing the same direction. They both were just sitting there, relaxed and looking right at me. After I finished with their things, I stopped to pet Kimmie a bit. She was waiting for me on the back of the couch. She then followed me in to visit Jerrie. He enjoyed being brushed for quite awhile. Kimmie sat in the window, just below him. She was watching his tail flicking around. So, I started playing with her a bit. She came out and got some brush and chin scratch time in as well. I could see her playfulness coming out in her eyes. Sure enough, she had enough and was back to play mode!

Shadow & Lucy

Lucy met me at the door as usual this morning. She followed me all around. Today Shadow came right out and joined me in the kitchen. I think he knew they were getting a portion of a fresh can of food today! He waited for me to put the plate down, then helped himself, while I went to clean their box. Lucy followed along, and sat on the counter to watch me. I got them each a couple snacks after I finished. Once Shadow had his fill of food, he went and sprawled out on the living room floor. Lucy and I played with her rope toy today. She rolled around, catching and biting at the string. She did a couple flips when I made it fly over her. Then, she laid on her side and kicked at the rope with her back feet, while holding onto it. She cracks me up!

Sadi & Stormy

I didn't see any kitties right away this morning, so I went ahead and got their food ready. I found miss Sadi sleeping under the bed today. I took her in and got her her medications. She was pretty congested today, so she got an extra pill. I set her by the food and she turned away, so I redirected her to the soft food. This time she sniffed at it and nibbled a bit. I went out on the patio to look for Stormy next, and she hopped down from her chair right away. She started rolling around on the ground. I picked her up and took her in to get her meds as well. Her lip looks about the same to me today. She did well for her medicine, then she went to get a bite to eat. By this time, Sadi had wandered out to see me. She enjoyed another long brushing session today.
