Gracie, Emma, Molly & the kitties

The cats look like they had themselves a New Year's Eve party last night! They had pulled out cardboard and plastic bottles from the garbage, and had them strewn about the living room. I picked that up, while Molly and Emma were outside. Henry came to visit me and rubbed his head on mine as we waited for them to come back in. Gracie went outside for awhile for her turn. They were ready for their breakfast, and all quickly finished. This afternoon it looked like the dogs took their turn to party! They had shredded a Reader's Digest and had gotten several cat toys and other small objects from somewhere. Gracie helped me pick up the shredded paper. She kept looking at it like I was going to throw it around for her to play with. Haha. We went to the living room, where she snuggled up to me for a bit. She was in a playful mood and grabbed her red squeaky dog to play with. I was going to let her stay outside for the afternoon, since it was nice out. However, they were forecasting a strong cold front was going to come in by late afternoon. Sure enough, it got cold and very windy out! I'm glad I kept her in. When I let Gracie out, she almost didn't even want to go potty, she just wanted back in. Molly and Emma spent awhile out there before dinner. The girls all got a snack before bedtime.

Taz & Clyde

This morning the boys were up and ready to go. They met me at the door when I arrived. I let them have a potty break outside quick. When they came in, they got their breakfast. Afterwards, we got ready for our walk. It was a little cool out this morning, but the boys didn't mind. We walked down by their pond and they sniffed around again. When we got back home, they went outside once more, while I got them some water.

Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon I pulled up and saw that the yard looked like it was starting to dry up some. The girls were snoozing in their house when I got there. They came inside today, since they were dry and not all muddy. They tackled me on the couch. Sophie pinned me down, while Roxy snuck kisses! Sophie was being all crazy, rolling around on the couch, walking across me and turning her head back to sneak kisses. They both plopped down on me for some attention. Roxy kept her eyes open for any red dots or light reflections in the house. Silly girl. Later, I got the ladies each a cookie. They both picked a spot on the rug to enjoy those. When it was time, they got another treat as they headed back outside.

Cate, Carson & Bella

This morning Cate was so excited she was zooming all around the room when I let her out. Once Carson wandered outside, she decided to follow him. They spent awhile out there, so I went to see Bella. She was rubbing up against my legs and random objects. She purred away, while I got her some more food and water. Gracie had finished taking her meds when I returned, so I let her out, while I gave Sassy her drops. They wandered around outside for a few minutes. This evening Cate and Carson took their first potty break outside. A cold front had come through, so it was cold and very windy this evening. Cate didn't spend long out there, before she was ready to come in. Sassy and Gracie went out and did their business, before Cate and Carson went out for their final break.

Jerrie & Kimmie

This morning Kimmie was laying on her tower when I arrived. I brought in the mail and cleaned up their room quick, before I gave Jerrie his medicine. He was lounging on the couch, all snuggled up to a pillow. He took his pill like a good boy and stayed relaxing where he was.
