Sophie & Roxy

This morning there was a light dusting of snow on the ground. I let the girls inside to warm up a bit. They had been snuggled in their house. I brought them a bunch of fresh water today and got them some food. The girls both hopped up on the couch with me. Sophie would lay across my lap on her back, with her feet dangling in the air. Then, Roxy would paw at me to pet her. They were up and down and up and down on the couch today. Roxy kept looking around for her lights too. The girls enjoyed a snack, before they snuggled some more.

Gracie, Emma, Molly & the kitties

This morning we had a dusting of snow on the ground. Gracie wasn't crazy about going outside, but she went out first for a quick potty break. While the other girls were out, I got breakfast ready for them. I got them all a yummy cookie to have with their food. When they finished, I let Molly and Emma out again, then Gracie. I cleaned up the extra litter pan today and put it away, since they were only making a big mess of it. This afternoon, Gracie was wiggling happily at the door to see me! Gracie went out quick, then the other two spent a long time in the yard. Gracie crawled under my legs and sat with me, while Henry curled up in my lap for some attention. I got Gracie another treat for her ball, so she was content snacking on that for awhile. Naughty Henry was trying to play with the Christmas tree this afternoon. I had to shoo him away from it! This evening, Gracie went out and did her business. She came in, then the other two went out. While they were busy, I cleaned out the litter boxes. Everyone ate their dinner quick, then I worked on picking up the shrapnel I found. I think it is a collaborative effort between the dogs and cats to find things to play with! I went to visit Micah in the bedroom. He was very happy to have some chin scratches. Henry hopped up there with him for a bit and they both got loved on. I sat with Gracie a bit too. She seems to get more and more excited and has more crazy wiggles every time I see her! As I went around turning lights off tonight, I saw Charlie sitting in the hallway. I stopped to pet him a little too. While I did that, Henry, Micah and Smudge all surrounded me for a few pets as well. I thought in my head that the only one I haven't seen yet, is Mr. Sam. I no more than thought that, and then I saw him emerge from the master bedroom and race upstairs!

Cate, Carson & Bella

We had gotten a light dusting of snow overnight. I let Carson and Cate out for their potty break when I arrived. Cate didn't want to stay out long in the cold! I let her in and got them some water, since their bucket was frozen over. Gracie took her meds and Sassy got her drops, then the girls went out for their turn. Gracie didn't even want to set foot outside this morning! Usually she goes out without me helping her, but today I had to encourage her a bit more. Once they came in, I let the other two out again, since they both had drank all their water.
