Billy & Zoey

Today I came in and heard Billy's meow. He had locked himself in the guest bathroom again! I let him out and he raced for the bedroom. I grabbed a container of laundry detergent to block the door open, so he can't lock himself in there again. Next, I took care of their things and vacuumed. I sat by the side of the bed again, and today after just a minute, Zoey came out to see me. I pet her for awhile. I saw Billy come out the other side and head to the living room. Later, I had to sneeze and I scared poor Zoey back under the bed! Billy came to visit me for awhile after that. Zoey must have heard him, so she came back out again.

Pappy, Sassy, Oscar & Bear

This morning I was greeted by four happy pups! I said hi to them for a minute. Bear and Oscar were both standing up against my legs, while the other two were dancing circles around me. I went upstairs to wake up the lizards and give them their breakfast. I moved Puff up to her branch, then gave her and Dexter a misty bath. They closed their eyes and enjoyed that. Bear waited outside the door for me. As I went to go down the stairs, he laid down across a step and started itching his back! Haha! Pappy was snoozing on the couch in the living room. We all headed outside since it was nice out again this morning. Sassy immediately hunched down on her front paws, with her heiny in the air, ready to play! I tossed a stick, then everyone went zooming off. Oscar was supervising, making sure they weren't getting carried away with their fun! Haha. Oscar and Bear both laid by me and kept me company. I gave everyone one last treat before I left. We had fun!

Tank, C.J., Bella & Bode

This morning the pups heard me pull up, and lined up at the fence to watch me. I met them in the kitchen and got each of them their hot dog snacks, before going to get their breakfast. I made sure Bode had enough food and got him his yummy food. I pet all of them for a bit, before I went to check on Zoey. This morning she had the remaining stuffing pulled out of the bed. She was bouncing around excitedly, when I got in by her. She barely let me pick up the stuffing again. Haha! I found a squeaky toy that she and I played fetch with for a little while. Then, I just sat and scratched her chest and sides, since that's the only way she'd hold still! She's super sweet, just so full of energy. All the others were waiting at the gate for me to return. They were so excited I came back! Even C.J. was bouncing around like crazy. I don't think I ever saw her so full of energy! I sat there, just inside the gate, and pet on them for awhile. Bella ran off and found herself a tennis ball. She was racing around and just having a blast with it... all by herself! She wouldn't let me have it to throw for her. Even Tank had a little crazy spurt, and was hop-running around. It was so funny! Bella didn't like that, so I had to settle everyone down quick. We didn't have any problems though. This evening everyone was happy to see me. We stopped in the kitchen to pet everyone. They all sat for me to get their evening snacks. I got them all some more food. I found that if I stand by Bella's bowl to keep her company, she eats better for me. So Tank and I waited for her in the kitchen. He was pretty much attached to my hand all night! I love him. :) I went to go out and check on miss Zoey. When I got in there I had to call for her. She must have been napping since it was dark out. She leaned up against my legs and I hugged on her and pet her for awhile. I noticed she was limping on her left front leg, so I checked her over. Poor girlie! She hadn't tried to jump up at all, so that must have been why. I hugged on her some more, then made sure she had enough food and water for the night. The three kiddos were waiting for me up at the house. They joined me in the kitchen and all got some attention. When C.J. had enough, she wandered into the garage to lay down. Tank and Bella would have loved for me to pet them all night I'm sure!

Tilly, Rita, Little Man & Kiki

This morning I let Tilly out as soon as I got there. I made her leave her toy that she had taken to bed with her last night. I got out her breakfast, then got Rita, who was crying in the bathroom. She raced out as soon as I opened the door. We headed right outside. She just wanted to look for Tilly's food. The girls did their business, while I filled Tilly's water. Tilly came over and got a drink from the spigot again. After awhile, Rita and I went in so I could take care of the kitties and the fish. Rita just cried and cried today when I was upstairs cleaning the litter box! Silly girl. When I finished up, I got the girls each a treat. Rita and I went back outside for a little bit, since it was pretty nice out already. This evening Rita and I went outside by Tilly for awhile. It was still quite nice out. When we came in, Tilly grabbed two of her toys! She dropped one though. She was prancing around all happy. Poor Rita kept getting in the way and almost got trampled a few times. She just wanted a heiny scratch! I got the girls each a snack. Miss Rita kept wanting to go outside and bark at the world tonight. Haha! She would go stand by the door, so I thought maybe she had to go potty. But then, she would go to the edge of the patio and just bark. Silly girl! She didn't want to go to bed when it was time either. I had to chase her around the house a little, then she finally went in. Kiki was full of the dickens tonight too. She climbed up to her kitty tower and was chasing Little Man around and swatting at him. Something must be in the air!

Giblet & the kitties

This morning I let Giblet out of her bed, then let her out to do her business. The kitties started wandering into the living room when they heard me. Once Gibs came in, I got everyone some fresh water and breakfast. We sat in the living room a bit, and Giblet rolled over for a belly scratch. She does this cute thing where she will paw at me with her front paws when I do that! Oreo was trying to steal away my attention, crawling in between us and into my lap. Later, I got her ready and we went for a walk. This afternoon Giblet and I went outside. It was so nice out! We spent most of our time out there. She was content wandering around and exploring the yard. She would take a breal ro lay in the grass and soak up some sun. While we were out there, Xavier kept pawing at the door. I think he wanted to join us! This evening Giblet met me at the door. She started bouncing around once she saw it was me, and ran to get her squeaky ball. Tonight she got her bear toy out to show me too! We went outside for awhile this evening, since it was so nice out. When we came in, Gibs sprawled out on the floor and rolled around, playing with her bear. She was in a playful mood! Xavier was sitting by me and Gibs bounced over, then galloped after him as he took off, trying to get him to play! She curled up on the couch for awhile after that.

Buddy, Bruno & the kitties

This morning I arrived and got the boys ready for our walk. Buddy was excited to get going. The bunnies in the area all scurried away, when they heard us coming! That got Buddy wanting to do some chasing. We got a pretty good walk in this morning. When we got back, it was time for breakfast. Both boys went to work, and finished off their yummy food. Buddy left some of his kibbles, but did pretty well. I glanced over and saw all three kitties waiting for their breakfast in the living room. Angel ran off when she saw me looking, but paused a minute. She kept appearing, then trying to hide again. I almost thought she was going to come up to sniff at me at one point! She seems to be getting slightly more brave each time I see her. This afternoon the boys and I took a really long walk. It was another beautiful afternoon! When we got back home I cleaned up a kitty vomit. Then, Bruno and I got a little fetch in. This evening I didn't see any signs of our friend, so I decided to take the boys out on a walk. It was still very nice out tonight. We were successful in freaking out a neighbor as we walked around in the dark too. Oops! I told them I was just walking my dogs. Then it was ok. Haha! We got a decent walk in tonight. I fed everyone once we got back home. Then I cleaned litter boxes while everyone ate. Bruno played some tug with his duck toy, until it was time for bed.
