Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo was sitting on the rug in the kitchen, just patiently waiting for me. He walked me to the fridge and waited for his snack. I went to check the closet for Stuffy, and sure enough, he was lounging in his bed. I sat and pet him for a little bit, before going to check their box. Oreo was now waiting in the living room for me. Stuffy came to visit with us for awhile today. The boys and I sat by the fire. Oreo was quite the snuggle bug! He sure wanted his chin scratches and brushing session. He rubbed his chin on the brush while I held it for him. Then, when I brushed his back, he used my foot as a scratching post for his paws. Haha! Goofy boy. Stuffy got his pets and chin scratches as well. After awhile, Oreo wandered off. Stuffy kept me company and stayed in the living room. He sat off at a distance though. As I was leaving, I saw Oreo was sitting just in the dining room, watching out the front door.

Poppy, Pita & Simon

Today I opened the door and spotted all three kitties. It took them a second, then all three scrambled! Simon took refuge in the bedroom, while the other two promptly attached themselves to my legs. They were ready for some attention! Poppy hopped up on the table to get closer for a few pets, while Pita rolled around on the floor at my feet. I got them their snack right away and filled all their dishes. I had opened the patio door for Poppy, but she was more interested in attention for the moment. I walked out there with her and she came and poked her head through the railings to check things out. Back inside, I sat down by Pita for some attention. Pita was purring very loudly and loving up every minute! Suddenly, I saw Simon walk out of the bedroom to sit in the doorway. He sat there and watched me for awhile. I talked to him a bit, but when I made a move towards him, back under the bed he went! Poppy was now under the bed in the living area, pawing at the kitty toy. Pita was still loving up some attention.

Pokey

This morning Pokey was snoozing on his chair by the door. He sat up and rolled right over to wait for his tummy rubs. He headed outside after that. All his neighbor friends were out again this morning. Pokey had fun wandering all along the yard for quite awhile. When he came in, we went to our spot, where he sat in my lap and got his pets. At lunch time, it was quite nice out. I got there and saw Pokey laying on the back of the couch. He climbed down and ran over to me to say hi. He went out for his potty break. He wandered around and watched the neighborhood for awhile. When he was ready, he lined up at the door to go in. This afternoon I didn't see Pokey in his usual spot. I called for him and walked in, looking for him. He was just hanging out on the back of his other chair in the family room. He hopped down when he saw it was me, and we headed outside. Pokey had fun roaming around for quite awhile. He took a break to come in and snuggle up with me. Then, we heard his neighbor pals barking outside. He was ready to go back out and play! He was busy hanging out by the fence, chatting with his buddies until they went in.

Bella & Chico

This morning I let the pups out before breakfast time. They zoomed outside to go do their business. It was pretty comfortable out there already, so they spent some time exploring. When they came inside, Bella and Chico were each trying to get my attention for some pets. Bella was quite the attention hog! Haha. After they settled down, they snacked on some food for me. I got them each a little rawhide when it was time for bed. This afternoon, they both raced each other to the back door. Chico was being sassy along the way. The people were out there working for a little while, so they made sure to bark a few times. I went out with them and we played chase for a bit. Bella and Chico raced circles around the yard, having a blast. When it was time, they went in and got their peanut butter snacks. This evening, the kiddos raced out of their beds to go play out back. They didn't stay out too long tonight. Chico had worked up an appetite and came in to snack on some dinner. Miss Bella was trying to crawl in my lap. She's always so excited for attention! When she settled, she worked on dinner as well. Chico was now waiting by their door, ready to go check out their treats. I got them a couple small cookies for tonight, since they've had plenty of treats for today! Haha! Chico was back to being shy about bedtime this evening. I had to go get him and tuck him into his bed.

Gracie, Molly, Emma & the kitties

This morning I came in and let miss Emma and miss Molly outside right away. Gracie burst out of her kennel as soon as I opened the door, full of energy already! I got her leash down and we decided to go for a stroll, while the ladies were out back. Gracie was excited for her walk, and had her sniffer working overtime. She was busy checking out all kinds of scents along the way. When we got home, I got the girls their breakfast, and Molly and Emma got their pills. This afternoon, Gracie was right at the door, waiting for me! I let her out for a potty break. Henry and Emma came to visit me for some attention while Gracie was busy. She came in and the others went out for awhile next. Molly has been going out every time for me. That's great! She's getting around pretty well. She even was trotting along to come back in this afternoon. I got Gracie another treat for her toy. Someone got a couple socks out today, but other than that, we're doing good. This evening, both Gracie and Emma were at the door to say hi. Gracie started scrambling around, being silly. I let her out quick and got dinner ready. When she came back in, the pups worked on their dinner. Miss Molly still wasn't really very hungry. She took a couple bites for me. She and Emma both got their medicine before it was their turn to go out for awhile. Gracie sat with me in the dining room and was happy for her pets. She ran and got her little penguin for us to play with until the others came back inside.
