Jerrie & Kimmie

We got a nice soaking rain this morning. Since the flowers didn't need watering, I headed inside to see the kitties. Kimmie was sitting on the top of her tower again, but I didn't see Jerrie. I went looking for him, and didn't see him on the bed either. Finally, I spotted him sitting under the table in the living room! Once we made eye contact, he got up and came to see me. I went to clean their boxes and get them fresh food and water. While I vacuumed, Jerrie sat and watched me. Once I got too close, he did a cute little turn and hop, then moved to safety. Silly boy! He followed me to his room for his attention time. I sat on the floor and he snuggled up next to me. I pet him for a long time and brushed all the loose hairs off. Kimmie got a little attention too. She seemed to enjoy a little brushing session today.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

It had rained out all morning, but it let up just in time for me to visit the pups. I let Carson, Toby and Cate out of their beds to go outside. I had to encourage Toby to go all the way out. Carson had no troubles. Cate saw the wet grass, then ran to her bed and peed there instead! Little stinker! I guess she'd rather do that than get her toes wet. Haha! I finally got her out and cleaned up while they were outside. Bella was hanging out on the fence. She must have found a dry spot to hide out during the downpour this morning. I dumped her soggy food out and got her some fresh, dry food. Little Foot went out for his turn and seemed to enjoy his time out there. He did a little exploring before coming back in. This afternoon everyone went out for a quick potty break, then came in to eat. Bella was so excited for dinner, that she forgot which cage was hers! Then all three were playing musical cages until they finally got it right. I went out and filled the tree bags while they ate. Miss Bella was rubbing up against my legs as I stood out there. Then, she decided to bite my foot to get my attention! That worked! Haha! Everyone got to go out for one last potty break after dinner.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning it was raining pretty good. I let Zoie out front for a quick potty break. She did her thing, then came to the door to get dried off. I got her her breakfast to work on while I let the other two out. Cole was next. I made sure he stayed out long enough until he did his business. He went to go eat his breakfast too, while it was Sadie's turn outside. She made me laugh, because she was kissing my face the whole time I dried her off! I gave the girls their calming pills since it was stormy out. Cole got his meds as well. After he finished breakfast, we all hung out inside. Sadie sat with me and we messed around. She would roll over and paw at me. Zoie was running around, trying to cram all the toys in her mouth that she could! She'd bring them over, then take them away again if I tried to reach for them. Cole tried to get some attention if he could squeeze by Sadie. I gave him se good back scratches to get his itchy spots. They all went out for one more potty break before I left. This afternoon everyone met me in the laundry room. They all did well again. The rain had stopped for awhile and the grass had dried some, so we all headed outside. Zoie wandered into the grass to play by the bushes. Sadie and Cole sat with me to be pet for awhile. Sadie took a quick break to do her business, then she went right back to sitting by me and giving me kisses! It was nice out, so we spent awhile outside. Later, I dried Sadie and Zoie off and sent them inside. I took Cole out to the grass so he'd go potty. He wandered around and circled, and circled, and circled... finally he went! Haha! We went in after he was dried off to join the others. Sadie and Cole were happy to be pet. Sadie would even paw at me or nudge my arm with her nose if I stopped! Zoie was off hoarding her toys. Suddenly,  Cole got spunky! He was bouncing around crouched on his front end, with his heiny sticking up in the air. I got a ball and bounced it around for him, which he had fun with. If it got away from him he lost it, so I'd go bring it back for him. He was so silly! This evening everyone went outside for a potty break before dinner. They came in and I got Zoie her food first. Cole was next and he got his medicine as well. Then Sadie went in her bed without me even saying anything. However, she wasn't eating. So, I sat down by her cage and held out a few kibbles for her. She didn't take that, but after sitting with her a minute, she finally started. She ended up polishing off her whole bowl for me. Good girl! I had them all go out once more before bedtime.

Griffin & Macy

This morning it was storming out when I came to visit. I let the pups outside for their potty break. Macy did her thing quick, then hung out on the patio with me to keep dry. Griff was having fun running around in the rain! He eventually came up by us, then we headed inside for awhile. Griff ate some food and got a drink. This afternoon the rain had stopped, and it was quite nice out. We stayed out a little longer since we couldn't this morning. Griff found his ball and brought it for me to throw. We played a long game of fetch, then he laid in the grass when he was finished. Macy would come by me to get pet a little, in between her exploring. Wr headed inside for a couple minutes so Griff could get some water before going back to bed. This evening we went out and it was pretty humid again. Griff and I played a little bit of fetch. He wanted to go in after a bit to eat. I didn't mind, since the mosquitoes were making a dinner of me! He ate a little, then Macy snacked some too. I let them go out for a little while again before bedtime.
