Mindy Lou & Chupie

Today miss Mindy was laying on her bed in the living room when I walked in. She came right over to say hi. I sat and pet her for a minute, then went to go get her leash. She wandered outside with me and we started down the driveway. She was walking pretty slow. I noticed she kept looking back to see if mom was coming! Finally we got to the end and I hooked her leash on. She was fine after that and stayed pretty well ahead of me. She wandered around and checked things out a little when she was off-leash. She stopped where she needed to when it was time to head back. When we got inside, I noticed Chupie jump down from the window sill out of the corner of my eye. So, I sat down on the couch and stayed quiet for a minute. She peeked around the side of the couch, then came close enough to check me out! She gave me a sniff and watched me for a minute, then went back into hiding. Pretty good for my first visit! Mindy went to lay down in the bedroom while I cleaned the litter box and got everyone their dinner.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Blackie & Sparkles

This morning Blackie stretched, then wandered off to explore a bit. I went in to let the little ones outside. All three zoomed to the back corner of the yard. Whatever Zel was looking for last night must still be out there. They all went potty and played a bit before coming inside for breakfast. The grass was a touch wet, so they all had to get their little tootsies dried off. Zel decided she was going to eat out of Gabbie's dish this morning, since Gabbie was following me around. I poured Zel's food into Gabbie's dish when Gabbie was finally ready to eat her share. Silly pups! Later, we headed back outside for awhile. Hudson had a blast when the neighbor dogs came out. He and the husky were having races back and forth along their fences. Blackie came back to visit me. He seemed concerned that Hudson was having too much fun and gave out a couple barks. We heard some sirens while they were out playing. I had a good laugh when Hudson, Gabbie and Blackie all started howling along! This evening Blackie was sleeping in his little house when I got there. Hudson, Zel and Gabbie were all excited to get outside. I let them run around a little while, until it looked like they were ready to come in. Everyone ate at their appropriate stations tonight. Haha! We hung around inside a bit afterwards, since it was pretty hot out. Hudson snuggled up to me, while Zel played with her toys. Gabbie kept hopping up on the couch to stand on my shoulders to try and lick at my ears! She made me laugh. Later, we went out to play some more. I had to go fetch miss Zel again tonight when it was time to head inside, as she was busy investigating her corner.

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy was attached to my legs as soon as I walked in. She got her medicine, then I mixed up some new food for them. Today, Sadi was in one of her normal spots, so I didn't have to search for her. She was just waking up at the foot of the bed as I peeked under. She had a lot of nasal discharge today and seemed a little more irritated with me fussing over her. Once I finally got all the gook out, she seemed to be feeling better. Her eye seems to be doing pretty good now. I set her down by the food, but she headed to the living room instead. Stormy was already waiting for us. Both girls were happy to get their itchy chins scratched. They purred away. Stormy and I played a little with her mouse toy.
