Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon Rusty was lounging on the couch when I walked in. I let Ruby out, then the pups lined up at the back door. I heard a sound come from the living room when I was filling their water dishes, so I went to check it out. I guess Ruby wanted back in, but the door was shut. Haha. I opened it for her. Then, she, Lance and Rusty all wandered inside. I took the pups back out again when I was done. Rusty was happy to get some fetch in. Lance must have missed me yesterday. He was on my lap the whole time, purring away!

Oreo & Stuffy

This evening Oreo came trotting along through the dining room to see me. He joined me in the kitchen and itched his face on the cabinets, while I got their dinner ready. He was hungry and took some big bites! I think he went to inspect my shoes while I cleaned their box. He came running in from the entry way to see me in the living room. Oreo was snuggly again today and he sat with me a long time, happily getting pet. I heard Stuffy snacking in the kitchen. Later I went to see what he was up to. He was just sitting in the entry way soaking up some sun. When Stuffy saw me watching him, he decided to get up and head up the stairs. What a goof.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy was quick to join me in the kitchen. She wouldn't sit still long enough for me to pet her, since she was pacing and running up against the cabinets. She trotted along along ahead of me to their room. Sadi was already sitting in there again as well. The girls both started snacking, so I let them have time to eat. When Sadi was done, she got her meds, then we went to our spot. Sadi sat and purred as I brushed her. She spent awhile rubbing her face in my hands as well. She's such a cutie! Stormy would come by for a quick visit, then would wander off. This evening the girls were snuggled up by mom's pillows on the bed. I felt bad that I had to move Sadi and wake her up. She looked so comfy with her sis!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon Ruby came out of her bed and joined Rusty outside. It was a bit chilly out today, so they didn't stay out very long. Ruby came in and curled up on the couch next to me to take a nap. Rusty was in and out for awhile. He would go explore, then would come in and relax. Lance must have been out wandering the yard, because I didn't see him today.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo meowed at me from the dining room when he heard me walk in. He was definitely in a lovey mood tonight! He was rubbing his face all over my legs, while I got their food ready. He met me in the living room later and continued his chin scratches in my hand. Oreo laid next to me for quite awhile and just purred away. Eventually, he wandered off. Stuffy never came to visit me, but I saw him as I was getting ready to leave. He was on his way up the stairs. Stuffy stopped and let me pet him quick, then went on his way. As I got to the front door, I saw where Oreo wandered off to. He was curled up on my shoes! Haha.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I heard Stormy jingling on her way to meet me in the kitchen. She was busy rubbing against my legs, while I got breakfast ready. Sadi was sitting in the middle of the room, grooming. Stormy ate some food, while Sadi got her meds. I let her have a chance to snack as well. Then, we went to our spot. The girls both enjoyed some attention. This evening I didn't see Stormy in her usual spots. Sadi was snoozing on the bed. I woke her up for evening meds. Her nose sounded pretty good tonight.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon I let Ruby out and she raced to the back door. She bounced from her right front paw to her left, until I opened it. Rusty joined us outside as well. It was a beautiful day to soak up some sunshine! Ruby sat on the porch, while Rusty lounged in the grass. He brought his ball over for a game of fetch when he was ready. Eventually, we headed inside so I could fill up their water dishes. Rusty was a thirsty boy after our game!

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo was sitting right at the door, waiting for me. After I shut the door he did a cute little hop to turn and quickly trotted off to the kitchen! Stuffy was sitting at the edge of the living room. I gave him a quick pet hello on my way by. Oreo did a big stretch in the kitchen to make some room for dinner. Haha. He snacked while I took care of their things. I sat in the living room when I finished. No one came to visit me for awhile. I got out the laser pointer, then they came running! Oreo was in more of a play mood than a snuggly one today. He chased after the red dot for awhile. Stuffy remained in his spot, only darting after it with his gaze.

Sadi & Stormy

This evening I spotted Stormy curled up in the recliner. I gave her a quick pet, then went to visit Sadi. She was curled up in her little kitty bed. I woke her up and got her nose all cleaned so she could breathe better. She took her meds well, like always!

Cate, Carson & Angus

This morning Cate was doing her little dance when she saw me walk in. She and Carson went out for awhile to explore and get their potty break in. Miss Bella came to sit on fence for awhile. She was waiting for a chance to sneak in! Angus was crying at me a bit, but I told him he had to wait until they came back in. Finally, he got his turn! He raced out and spent awhile out back too.

Oreo & Stuffy

This evening I walked in and saw the boys were sitting on the edge of the bed. Oreo immediately hopped down and attached himself to my legs! We walked to the kitchen, where he sat and waited for me to get his dinner. After I cleaned their litter box, I walked to the living room. Oreo ran along behind me. He curled up next to me and was happy to be pet for awhile, just purring away. Stuffy wandered in by us as well. After Oreo wandered off to go snack on his food some more, then Stuffy got his turn for pets. The boys sat in the entryway and watched curiously while I tested out the key. Haha.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy hopped down from her chair when I walked in. She came into the kitchen and meowed at me. Stormy then wandered off to go wait for her breakfast delivery! Sadi was up this morning as well, already sitting by the water bowl. I let her snack a bit, so I cleaned out their box and changed up their food. After her meds, I set her back down to finish eating. She was just going to town this morning!

Cate, Carson & Angus

The pups were all snoozing when I walked in this morning. Carson woke up and slowly stood up, getting ready to go outside. Bella was sitting on the fence out there. They got to spend awhile outside, as well as Angus, when it was his turn. This evening Cate was so excited to get outside, that she pushed her way past Carson! Haha. They came in and ate, while Angus took a quick potty break. After dinner, they all got to spend a bit longer outside. Bella sat on her perch and watched them.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy was sitting on her chair in the dining room. She hopped down when she heard me and came to visit in the kitchen. She tagged along to their room to eat right away. Miss Sadi was snoozing away on the bed. I got her up and gave her her morning meds, then let her snack a bit. The girls came to the living room with me for a little attention. Sadi sat and meowed at me occasionally, but mostly purred. Stormy sat for a few pets as well. This evening Stormy was sitting in the dark, under the kid's table. She meowed as I walked by. Sadi was sleeping on the bed again. She stretched as I woke her up. She got her evening meds, then I set her in by the food and water.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon I let Ruby out while I cleaned up her bed. She and Rusty were outside waiting for me. It was very nice out again today! Ruby even hung out for quite awhile with us. Rusty laid in the grass until he was ready for fetch. Lance came out and visited too, brushing up against my back to let me know he was there.

Cate, Carson & Angus

This morning the pups were ready to head outside. I let Cate out and she was wiggling around like crazy. She cracks me up! Finally she wandered out when Carson did. They had some time outside, so I was able to check on Bella. She was sitting on the fence outside, watching. Angus went and explored around for a bit too. This evening everyone took their quick potty breaks. After dinner, I had to coax Cate and Carson to go out. They went out for a little while. Angus spent some time out after dinner as well.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I saw Stormy was lounging on a dining chair. She hopped down to join me in the kitchen, while I got breakfast ready. She followed along behind me when I went to take it to their room. Sadi was already sitting in there again this morning. I picked her up and gave her her meds, then the ladies sat and ate for a bit. Afterwards, the girls and I went to our spot. Sadi sat and purred away, loving up her chin scratches and brushes. Stormy loved on me a little, then wandered off to do her own thing. This evening Stormy was laying on the back of the couch. I got Sadi up, who was snoozing away on the bed, and gave her her meds. She was a little stuffy at first, but then once I cleaned her up she sounded good.

Cate, Carson & Angus

This morning it was very windy outside. We had some super strong winds overnight, but all appeared well at the house. I let the first two out for a bit. Angus was happy to get out for his turn when they had finished. Miss Bella was trying to sneak inside when I let him in. This evening the storms had finished and the sun came out again. Cate and Carson went to get a drink and take a potty break. I got them some fresh water, then got dinner ready for everyone. Cate was being her crazy self and was zooming around the dog room! Haha. They took another break outside to explore a little before it was time to come in again.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon it was raining out when I got there. I saw Ruby was already out. She barked when I came in, then she and Rusty joined me outside. They quickly did their thing, then headed back in. Lance had come outside with us too. He didn't seem to mind the rain drops. Ruby wandered into the living room with a rawhide and relaxed. Rusty wanted a little attention. After awhile he went to relax in his chair.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I got breakfast ready for the girls when I walked in. I took it to their room, and saw Sadi was up and standing on the bed. Stormy came running in to eat. She must have been out on the patio. We had some crazy wind last night, but things seemed ok at the house. I got Sadi her meds, then let her eat a bit. When she finished nibbling, we went out to the living room. She seemed like she wanted to wander, but eventually she just sat and enjoyed her pampering. Stormy came and brushed by me, then went to sit on her chair in the kitchen. This evening the girls were on the bed together. I heard Sadi sounded a bit stuffy... then I saw why! She had a huge goober hanging out. Haha. I got her cleaned up, then she sounded much better. At least she got it out!

Cate, Carson & Angus

This morning Cate and Carson went outside for awhile, while I cleaned up. Cate has done really well this week! Angus was crying a bit, telling me he wanted to go out as well. Once the other two returned, he got to roam out there awhile too. I saw miss Bella walking around the back. She must have been waiting for me to open the door. This evening Cate was dancing in her bed excitedly, ready to go out. She and big brother went out for a quick break while I got them fresh water. They came in and started on their dinner, while Angus took his turn. They all went out again afterwards. It was a bit hot out, so no one wanted to be out long.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon Rusty got up when he heard me let Ruby out. She bolted out the doggie door, while Rusty followed me out the back. The pups had another beautiful day to lounge around outside! Lance came and snuggled by me for a bit. Then he went to lay in the grass along with Rusty. Ruby eventually wandered back inside. Rusty brought me his ball after he was done exploring, then we got a long game of fetch in.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy was chilling under the kid's table. She watched while I got their breakfast ready. She got up and ran ahead of me when she saw I had finished. Sadi was in their room, getting herself a drink. She must have stepped in the bowl by accident, because her leg was all wet! I got her her medicine right away, then let the girls eat, while I took care of the rest of their things. The girls joined me in the living room for some attention time after. Sadi got brushed and pet, while Stormy enjoyed some chin scratches.

Cate, Carson & Angus

This morning everyone was sleeping. I walked in and they all stared at me. As soon as I opened the door, they got all excited. Carson and Cate went outside for awhile. I checked on Bella's things, then let them in for Angus' s turn. This evening Cate was barking, ready for her dinner. I let those two out for a potty break, then got dinner ready. Angus went for his turn, and they all worked on eating. After another potty break for everyone, I tucked them in for the night.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon was gorgeous outside. I let Ruby out and she followed me to the backyard. I had called for Rusty, but he must have been napping. He eventually showed up and joined us. I sat on the patio while the pups wandered around. Lance came and brushed up against my back. He rolled around and got pet for awhile. Rusty was happy to be outside! He just laid in the grass and soaked up the sun.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy met me in the kitchen and started rubbing on the cabinets. She waited while I got their breakfast ready. Miss Sadi was snoozing away on mom's bed. I got her up while Stormy was eating, to give her her meds. I set Sadi down for her turn, but she wasn't interested at the moment. I carried her out to our spot and set her down for a brushing session. She sat and purred away the whole time. Stormy sat with us and she kept talking to me. She would walk around and rub up against my back. When we were done, Sadi was ready to eat. This evening the girls were curled up together on the bed. I got Sadi up to clean her up and give her the evening round of medicine.

Cate, Carson, Angus & the gang

This morning the pups all woke up when I got there. It had rained a bit, so it was nice and cool outside. I let them all stay out as long as they wanted this morning. They must have liked the cooler weather too, because everyone roamed around a bit. This evening the kiddos made sure to tell me they were hungry! Cate and Carson went out first. I noticed Tanner was shaking his head quite a bit. After everyone went out, they worked on their dinners. Tanner didn't seem to be too hungry. While I was finishing up, mom and dad showed up. Their three were very happy to see them!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon I got inside and let Miss Ruby out. She and Rusty followed me to head outside. It was sprinkling out, so they both quickly did their business and headed inside. Ruby snuggled up on the couch and took a nap by me. Rusty wandered into the front room and lounged on his chair. While I was sitting with Ruby, Lance came wandering in from outside. I guess he didn't mind the rain!

Sadi & Stormy

This evening the ladies were all snuggled on mom's bed when I got there. Stormy popped her head up right away when she heard me. I woke Sadi up for her evening medicine. Her nose was very good tonight.

Cate, Carson, Angus & the gang

This morning all the pups started to wake up when I arrived. I started to let them out for their morning potty rounds. Meanwhile, I checked on Bella's things. She had been sitting atop the fence again when I got there. Once I opened the door, she shot inside. I've never seen her try that hard to get in! Then I found out why. Once I got her back out, I saw another kitty out there. I guess she was trying to get away. She must be sharing her food too. All the kiddos took their breaks and came in for a snack. This evening, they were all ready for dinner. Cate and Carson went out, then worked on their dinners, while Tyson, Tanner and Peanut took their turn. Angus patiently waited for his turn outside. He's such a good boy. Everyone did very well eating tonight. Peanut and Tanner still had a little bit left over, but not nearly as much. They've all been great!

Major & Boomer

This morning I saw the boys out in the yard when I pulled up, just lounging. They both got up and walked over to the fence to see who was here. They met me inside and were very excited! They knew it was time to eat. Major walked over with me while I got their dinner ready. He kept pawing at my legs. "Hurry up lady, I'm hungry!" Haha. I put their dinners in their spots and they both got to work. Major got his medicine. I cleaned up when they were done, and Boomer came over for a little attention.

Cate, Carson, Angus & the gang

This morning the pups were snoring when I walked in. They woke up and were ready for their potty break. Cate and Carson went outside for awhile. I saw miss Bella standing on the fence, looking in at me. The trio went out for their potty break when the other two were done. I checked to make sure Bella had enough food while they were busy. Finally, Angus went out for his turn. This evening the kiddos were telling me that they were hungry! Cate and Carson went out quick and then got to work on their dinner. Cate was racing around the dog room before she went out for me. They snacked on their food while Tanner, Tyson and Peanut went out. Angus went out last and went right to town on his dinner. Everyone went out for a last potty break before bed.

Susie & Frank Fritz

Today Frank was right at the door to greet me. He was a little more jumpy today since he was so excited. But that's ok... he's cute so he can get away with it! He followed me inside while I got them their dinner. He went into his bed and scarfed his down. Susie came by while he was busy and got some one on one attention from me. Once Frank was done, he came running and took over! Haha. I got them some fresh water and got them both a little rawhide treat.

Diesel & Odin

This morning I pulled up and all was quiet. I walked up by the house and saw the boys lounging in the grass behind the house. They hadn't seen me yet, so they got startled when I said hi! Haha. The boys let out a couple barks, then came running over for some attention. They were ready for their breakfast. We headed to their house, where they sat and waited for me to get their food ready. Odin had his bowl polished off first. The boys each got a cookie when they were finished.

Friday, April 18, 2014

Cate, Carson, Angus & the gang

This evening everyone was watching when I walked in. I let Carson and Cate out for a quick potty break before dinner. Next, the three boys went out. It took a minute before Tyson went outside. He was too busy trying to explore! Angus went out last, then they all worked on dinner. I made sure everyone had fresh water while they were busy. Peanut and Tanner weren't too crazy about dinner tonight and only ate about half. I gave them enough time until they weren't munching anymore. Then, everyone went out for another potty break before bed. I didn't see miss Bella at all, but I filled up her food and water dishes for her.

Diesel & Odin

Today the boys came running up to the fence to see who was here. They walked me to their house and I got their dinner ready. Odin made me laugh while he ate. He kept spinning in circles around his bowl, to get every kibble! After the boys finished their dinner, I got them each a cookie. I don't think Odin took too many bites, before his had disappeared. The boys followed me out and lounged in the grass while I filled their bucket of water. They were being so good, so I got them each a small rawhide, while I supervised, to make sure they got them down ok.

Susie & Frank Fritz

Today Frank came running up excitedly when he heard me open the door. He did very well and hardly jumped up at all! Susie came wandering out as well, but she hung back to avoid all the commotion. I got their dishes out while Frank kept trying to sneak kisses. Haha. They both ate their dinners right away. After dinner, Frank stayed by me for some attention. I tried to get Susie to come say hi, but that only made Frank go tackle her. Lol he's so funny.
