Giblet & the kitties

This morning I let Giblet outside. She bounced around in the snow for a bit, and did some exploring. When she came in, she was full of energy. She tried to chase after the kitties a bit. I got her some breakfast, and she got some yummy canned food this morning. As I opened the can, Oreo, Xavier and Skylar all wandered into the kitchen. I guess Gibs was sharing this morning! Oreo snuck bites out of her bowl, then took them elsewhere to eat. Silly cat! We spent some time in the living room after she finished. She got to play outside again a little longer before I left. This afternoon Gibs was talking to the neighborhood outside. Skylar came over for some attention. She purred away! When Giblet came back in, she laid by me for some belly rubs. Once she moved to a different spot, the kitties surrounded me. Oreo sat in my lap, then I was petting Skylar and Xavier on either side. This evening Giblet went outside, but came back in pretty quick. She was being silly tonight. She ran and leapt onto the couch. Later, she sat in front of me and kept sneaking some kisses! She went back outside to play a little while again before bedtime.

Tilly, Rita, Daisy & kitties

This evening Daisy came up to me when I walked in. When she realized it wasn't who she thought it was, she took off. She ran to hide by Tilly's cage. I grabbed out her leash and knelt down nearby. She was acting a little shy, but didn't object to me putting her harness on. Once that was on, we went outside for a quick walk. It was pretty cold out, and I wasn't sure if she would venture out into the snow or not. After we walked a little ways, she did, and went potty for me. Then, we walked quickly back to the house. I let Tilly and Rita out for their potty breaks next. Tilly came in and was prancing around with her toy. I made sure the kitties had enough food and water, then I put everyone to bed.

Flax

This morning I walked in and saw Flax was lounging on his bed. Boney was in there too, and he quickly hopped up, not sure yet what to think of me. He quickly made up his mind and came wandering over for some attention. I went inside to feed the fish and get them some fresh water. Boney hopped right up and started chowing down on his breakfast! I got Flax some food too, then stopped to pet him a bit. I went to the barn to give Booty some food as well, but I didn't see him in there. This afternoon I walked in and saw the cutest thing!! Boney was all snuggled up with Flax on his bed. They looked so cute and cozy. I got them some more water, then went to visit with them. I had gloves on, which Boney thought were pretty interesting. He sniffed at them a bit, then tried swatting at my fingers, like they were toys. He wasn't quite sure what to do. Haha! As I left, Flax wandered outside to see me off. This evening, Flax was already in the driveway. He came up to the car to see who was here. Flax came in the garage with me and laid on his bed. I got them both some more food for the evening. I plugged in and turned on both heaters for Flax, since it was getting chilly out.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I let Zoie outside first. She was busy playing out in the snow and didn't want to come in for a bit. Sadie and Cole went out next. Cole does his thing and hurries back inside. Even he was a little cold and shivery this morning! When they came in I fed them all their breakfast. Everyone ate well. Then, we played a little in the living room. This afternoon I let Sadie out first, since she was closest to the door. She was busy exploring for awhile, so I let the little ones out back. Zoie was having a blast! The snow was up to her chest, so she was hopping along around the yard. Cole was even being playful out there for a bit. I dried everyone off once they came in. I grabbed a tennis ball and bounced it around for Cole, since he was being goofy. He wound run after it and pounce on it! Pretty good for not being able to see well. Zoie was content chewing on her bone. But then, she stole our tennis ball! This evening, the pups all did their business. They ate their dinners pretty quick too. We sat in the living room for a bit before bedtime. Cole wanted his heiny scratched, while Sadie was busy giving me kisses.
