Chica & Paco

Today Chica saw me walk in and came over to say hi. Paco must have been napping in the bedroom. It took a minute, then he came running! Chica hopped up on the counter for some love. Paco was busy rubbing up against my legs most of the time. I got them some yummy food for a snack to work on, while I cleaned their box. After I finished, it was time to play! I had them both busy chasing after a string toy. I saw they got some new toys! Paco was more interested in the feather one, than the mouse one I had started playing with. Chica chased the toy, then after she got tired, she laid down and would casually swat with one paw. She watched for a bit and did the butt wiggle and pounced once too! That made me laugh.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon Rusty was lounging on his chair in the living room. I let Ruby out and we headed outside. Rusty hadn't gotten up yet, but he came out the doggie door shortly after. Ruby did all of her business today. When she finished, both pups laid around in the grass again. They laid out there until they got too hot. Then, they headed inside. Rusty went to his chair in the front room, and Ruby sat on the floor next to him. I got them both a chicken meatball snack to work on.

Winston

Today Winston did a big stretch when he saw me. He wandered over to the door and I got his harness on. He went potty pretty quick today, so we deposited that and walked around awhile after. He made sure to check out all the bushes we passed by. We headed back after we got a nice walk in. He went right for his nylabone once he got his leash and harness off. He gnawed on that for a little bit. Next, he found his rope toy for me. He was having a blast playing tug! He was quite vocal about it today too. He made me laugh when he started doing his little bunny hops to pull backwards. I let go, then he looked at me like, "Wait, why'd you stop?! You're not done playing, are you?" We got a few throws in that he fetched for me as well. After he got tired from playing, he rolled around by me and got some belly rubs.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out and he followed me to Butler's bed. He kept pawing at me, while I was trying to apply Butler's spray. The boys and I headed outside when we were done. Butler was busy looking through the fence to see if anyone was outside. They spent a little while lounging on the patio. It was a hot one today, so they were in and out a lot to get a drink. They made sure to share every time too! Eddie would come over and put his wet beard on me. Haha! Eventually, they stayed inside where it was cool and lounged around.

Oscar

This afternoon my buddy met me at the door, crazy excited! He was wiggling around all happy. Oscar kept stopping me for some heiny scratches on our way to the door. We headed outside and he found a spot to lounge on the grass a bit. It was a hot one this afternoon. I tried to get him to play with some of his toys out there, but he wasn't too interested. He went to lounge out in the bushes in the landscaping for awhile too. Silly boy! He was ready to go in early today, since it was so warm. I got him some fresh water.  Then, we played with his yellow tug awhile!

Poppy, Pita & Simon

Today I walked in and saw that Simon had spotted me. Once he did, he raced to the bedroom to hide. Pita was laying on the bed and Papi was sitting by the table. Papi came running over to check me out. Once I passed the sniff test, she rubbed up against my leg. I got them their yummy snack right away. Since Simon was hiding, I put the plate by the bed and shut the door for awhile, hoping he would be brave enough to eat. I didn't want the other two to steal it either. Papi sat on the counter while I filled their cup with fresh water. She just sat and looked at the stream of water I left on for her. After I filled their other dishes and scooped their box, I went to sit in the living room. Pita came over and laid next to me. She was loving up some attention! She rolled around and enjoyed some pets. Papi finally joined us and I got her to play awhile as well. She made me laugh. She had crawled under the table to "hide" and watch the feather toy. I was moving it slowly across the room. Her eyes got all big and she'd slowly creep out towards it as I moved it away from her. If I stopped, she'd stop. Finally, she pounced! I had Pita's full attention too! Haha. Before I left, I opened the door back up for Simon. I guess that didn't work for today. Hopefully he'll build up some courage tomorrow to come see me!

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy came and meowed at me in the kitchen when I walked in. She went and sat under the table, while I went to water the plants outside. She ran along ahead of me, once I got their breakfast ready. Sadi was sitting in the food room already. Stormy went to town on her food, so I got Sadi her meds quick. She was pretty stuffy again this morning. I got her cleaned up and let her have some time to eat. She wasn't super interested at the moment, so we went to our spot instead. Stormy sat off in the distance to give herself a bath. Sadi loved up all of her brushing time, and gently rubbed her face on my knee. She purred away the whole time. I put her back by the food to eat again, since Stormy had hogged most of it! This evening Sadi was sleeping on the floor next to her bed. I woke her up for her medicine. She was a stuffy girl again tonight, but I got her all cleaned up. I put her back to bed when she was done. Stormy was lounging on a dining room chair. I stopped to say hi on my way out.
