Tilly, Rita, Daisy Mae & kitties

This afternoon I came in and Daisy came out from the bedroom to see who was home. As soon as she laid eyes on me, she stopped, looked at me for a second, then returned to her spot under the bed. I got out a treat for her and gave it to her in her hiding spot. I sat for a minute and talked to her, then left her be and went to let Rita out. The kitties were both in the bedroom and walked over for some attention. Tilly came running when we Rita and I got outside. I pet Tilly, while Rita did her business. When she finished,  we went in and I talked to Daisy as she sat under the bed for awhile. Rita got a treat, then made an attempt for Daisy's. Daisy wasn't about to let her steal it! She quickly started to work on it. Little man was keeping me busy, making sure I pet him the whole time. I went back outside to spend some time with Tilly. When I came in, I saw Daisy had moved into the office and was curled up in Tilly's bed. I sat and talked to her, and pet Little Man, a little longer before I left. This evening, Daisy came into the kitchen to see who had arrived. I heard her wander into the office. I got her another treat and broke it into a couple pieces. She took the first one directly from my hands. Then, she let me pet her head for a second. Little Man was busy trying to steal my attention. I gave her the other piece, then went to let Rita outside. Guess who's my new friend??!! I tried coaxing Daisy to me and was able to get her leash on. We took a short walk so she could go potty. After we got back, she followed me everywhere! I let miss Tilly inside and tucked her in bed, then put Rita back in her room. We had a great night!

Ricky & Stanley

Today I pulled up and didn't see Ricky or Stanley. As soon as I opened the garage I did! Stanley raced into the garage and Ricky came up to the gate, wagging his tail. I went back to see Ricky for a bit. He sat by me to be pet, then nibbled on the little bit of food he had left from yesterday. Suddenly, he went racing to the back of the yard! He saw some geese he wanted to chase after. He came back and I tossed a toy for him. He raced over to it, then left it there and circled back to me. Guess he didn't want to play fetch! We did get a little game of tug in before he went racing off for something else. I got them their dinner and some fresh water. I visited with Stanley a bit next. She was rolling around and playing in the leaves again as I brushed her! She probably would've let me brush her all day. When I went back to say goodbye to Ricky, he was lounging around on the chair by his house.

Sophie & Roxy

Today the girls came right up to the gate, along with the neighbor dog (on it's side of course) to see who was here. When I got inside, I had to call for the girls since they were still out front watching! They came running in and gave me a big hello. I got them some food and they both got to work right away. When they finished, they monkey piled on me! Sophie layed right on me and was squirming around, flailing legs in the air. Roxy laid on the other side and just relaxed. After awhile, I got them each a snack. I must have come to visit at the wrong time of day, because they were some lazy girls! Roxy sprawled out on the cozy rug and Sophie curled up in her bed, then they both took a little snooze.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Jerrie was curled up on top of his kitty tree, soaking up some sunshine. Kimmie was sitting by the couch when I walked in. She did a big stretch and gave me a meow as I walked towards her. After I sorted the mail, I took care of their food, water and litter quick. Kimmie was now sitting on the table behind the couches, waiting for me. She followed along to their room. Kimmie meowed for some attention, as Jerrie was making his way down. I had both kitties purring! Jerrie was scratching his chin on the brush as I held it. My other hand was busy scratching Kimmie's chin as she rolled around on the floor. I had Kimmie chasing after light reflections for awhile today. She even did her little "chirp" like she would if she were watching birds!
