Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning Billy and Quinney went out for their potty break while I cleaned up and got their breakfast. They came in and both ate well, since I added some canned to both their bowls. After they finished, they went back outside for awhile. I got Oreo her breakfast, then checked on the hamster. She woke up and started traveling down her tube to come eat as well. Or to get her treats! Haha. I checked on the kitties and saw Chili by the side of the bed again. She ventured under to hide from me. Pepper was sleeping on the top of the kitty tower and came down to see me. I gave her and Salt some pets, then it was time to go visit the pups. Billy came running over happily, ready for her heiny scratches. When it was time, we went in and I got them back in their beds. This evening the pups had already had their dinners. I got Billy some fresh water and let them out back for a bit. Oreo got the last of her lettuce and her carrots. The hamster still had plenty of food and water for tonight. Salt helped me scoop boxes, then she and Pepper got a little attention. I went to let Billy and Quinney back inside. I took Roxie out for her little potty break before bedtime. When I went to go turn the water off for the kitties, Chili was on her way out from the bathroom. Everyone is all tucked in for the evening.

Oscar

This afternoon the lawn guy was just leaving as I arrived. Since I didn't know if Oscar should be on the grass or not, I let him out to pee real quick, then we went right back inside. We had fun playing indoors today instead. It was trying to storm out there at the moment anyways. Oscar went and grabbed his octopus toy and we got a good game of tug going. He won most of the time! Haha. We got to play a little fetch too. Before I left, I let him out for one more quick potty break.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning I let the pups out while I cleaned up Quin's bed and got their breakfast ready. I put half a can of food in with his and he ate well. Billy had eaten her dinner overnight. She didn't eat her breakfast when they went in, but she's been eating well after I leave. I got Oreo and the Hamster their breakfast, then went in to see the kitties. Salt came out first for some pets. I went out back to get the pups some water and visit with Billy for a little while. Quin was busy wandering around. Billy just sat and pawed at me to keep petting her. I went back in to see Pepper, since she was ready and waiting for her turn. Chili was sitting just under the end of the bed, watching curiously. This evening I came in and let the pups out back. I got Quin a new blanket and got their dinners ready. Billy had eaten her breakfast like a good girl. They came racing back in to eat. Quinney ate with his canned food mixed in. Billy decided to wait to eat hers later. Meanwhile, I went to turn on the faucet for the kitties and feed everyone else quick. I let Quin and Billy back out of their beds to head back out. Billy decided she was going to play keep away instead! Haha. She didn't want to go out, so she raced around the kitchen and went back in her room. It took a little coaxing, but then she followed me out back. Silly lady! I sat out there with her and gave her pets. Soon, it was time for me to go in and visit the kitties too. Salt and Pepper both came out for their attention. Chili was sitting out by by the side of the bed tonight. I went over to go pet her, but she quickly went under the bed to hide. Pepper was in play mode tonight so we had fun with their string for awhile. When it was time, I brought the pups in and tucked them in for bedtime.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning I let the pups outside for their potty break. Billy was quite the ball of energy! I got their breakfast ready then let them back in to eat. While they were busy, I checked on the crabs, hamster and Oreo. When I returned, I saw neither pup had eaten. Maybe later! I turned the faucet on and stopped to say hi to the kitties, then went out back with the pups. Quinney got a drink from the spigot while I filled up their water dishes out back. Billy was running and bouncing circles around me. We went back to the patio and she sat by me to get her attention. After awhile, she ventured off to see what Quin was up to. I went back in to see the kitties for a few minutes. Chili was heading back under the bed after getting a drink from the faucet. I reached under and she got some chin rubs. Then, she got comfy in her little hammock. Salt played with the string a bit, while Pepper watched. This evening, I worked on adding some canned food to Quin's bowl while they were outside. Billy had eaten all her breakfast, so I didn't add anything to hers. Oddly enough, she's the one that's been eating great! I really think he just doesn't like the new food. He is acting just fine when he's playing out back! They came in and he ate all his dinner for me. I let them back out while I took care of the others. Oreo got working on her carrots. The hamster woke up and traveled down the tube to come get her treats! Pepper came out and snuggled up to me for the rest of the time, purring away and enjoying all her pets.

Oscar

This afternoon I called for Oscar as I came in. He was in the process of hopping off the couch, then he came running to see me! He looks so handsome with his fresh haircut! Oscar got his heiny scratches, then we headed out back. He was a busy boy this afternoon. He ran from side to side, checking out everything and investigating any noises he heard. After awhile, he laid in the grass to relax a bit. While we were sitting there, I heard a plop sound like something fell off the roof. I looked down, and sure enough! There was a little tree frog! He was gray to try and blend in with the patio stones. I moved him to the grass since they were pretty hot in the sun there. Oscar did some more exploring around the yard before we headed in to cool off.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning I let the pups outside. Quin had an accident overnight, so I worked on cleaning his bed up quick. I got them breakfast next. Billy ate all her food overnight like a good girl. They came in and both ate well for me, even without any canned food. Yay! I let them back outside to play. I sat and gave Billy her pamper time for awhile. Quinney was off exploring as usual. Later on, I headed in to see the kitties and feed everyone else. The hamster was snoozing as always. Oreo began munching on her breakfast after I fed her. Pepper and Salt were happy to get a little attention this morning. I peeked under the bed and Chili was lounging in her hammock, so she was too comfy to come see me. I gave the pups some extra time out back this morning, then it was time to head in. This evening, I let the pups out again and got their dinner ready. They came inside, but neither really wanted to eat. I let them back out to play. I got Oreo her snacks, cleaned out litter boxes, then went to visit the cats. Salt decided to hop in the bathtub and make sure I did a good job of scooping out their box. Haha! Pepper was ready for some pets and came to snuggle up to me for awhile. Chili was in her spot under the bed. I was reaching under to see if she'd come see me. Then, I noticed a lump hanging down from inside the bed! Salt was sitting in the lining. She actually was pawing at me, trying to play through it! Haha. What a goof. Later, I added some canned food to the dog's bowls and had them come in. They both began to eat for me before I left.

Winston

This afternoon Winston did a big stretch when he heard me coming. I let him out and he waited patiently while I got his harness on. We made our way outside for him to do his business. We wandered around a bit and he did a little people watching. Then, he went potty. After that, we walked around awhile. There was a good breeze out this afternoon, so it wasn't too bad out there. He went and checked out his tall grass and all the trees and bushes we passed by. When we got back, he and I played a game of tug. I got him a cookie when it was time to go.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning the pups went out to do their business while I got their breakfast ready. Billy had finished her food overnight. I added some canned to both their food this morning. The pups came in and both ate well right away. I got Oreo some breakfast and checked on the kitties while I waited. I got the hamster some food and water and a couple treats. Then, it was time for Billy and Quin to head back out. I went out with them this morning. Billy kept me company and got her pets and heiny scratches. I headed back in to turn to water off by the kitties. I peeked under the bed to try and see if Chili would come see me. Sure enough! She came out and got some chin rubs. This evening, Billy and Quin bounced to the back door and went out for their potty break. I got them some food and fresh water. They came in to work on that while I scooped boxes and fed everyone else. Oreo was loving up some yummy lettuce! When I returned, I saw Quin ate very well tonight, even without canned food. Billy didn't, but I bet she will after I leave. I let them back out to play while I went to give the kitties some attention this time. Salt came out first and enjoyed some pets. Pepper ventured out next and was all lovey, rolling around on the floor and making laps around me. Chili tried to come see me, but Pepper swatted her away. I guess she didn't want to share me! Haha!

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I walked in and saw Sadie was sleeping soundly. I woke her up and got Cole out next. They led the way to the gate and I let all three out back. Cole did his business, then I went to water plants out front quick. Back outside, Cole met me on the patio for his pets. Sadie was off exploring at the far end of the yard. Zoie was checking things out around the fish pond, looking for critters. They all got their paws dried off and we headed in for breakfast. Zoie nibbled a bit and Cole ate most of his. Miss Sadie didn't want to eat her breakfast for me though. This afternoon, the pups were ready to head outside. Zoie made sure to stuff as many toys in her mouth as possible to bring out with her! Haha. Sadie ran out, went potty, then found a spot to sunbathe in the grass. Zoie did for a bit as well. Later on, Zoie sat with Cole and I for some pets. We headed in after awhile to cool off. Sadie got some belly rubs in the kitchen. The other two sat by me for their turns too.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning I came in and let the pups out right away. I saw that Quinney had gotten sick in his bed last night. I took that outside to hose it off and hung it up to dry. I cleaned his cage up as well while they were having their potty break. Neither had eaten their dinners last night for me, so I got them both some canned food this morning. They came in and both ate for me. Yay! I let them back out again while I checked on everyone else. Oreo and the hamster both got their breakfast. I turned on the water for the kitties and visited with them a bit. Chili was still hanging out in her "hammock". Haha. Pepper was super lovey this morning, so she enjoyed plenty of pets. Later, I went out by the pups so Billy could have her attention time too. This evening I came in and let the pups out for their potty break again. I got them their dinners and let them back in to eat. They just wanted to go back out and weren't interested in eating at the moment. Hopefully they'll eat after I leave. If not, more yummy stuff in the morning! They went back to spend some time playing outside before bedtime. I got Oreo her snacks and then checked on the hamster. She was still snoozing in her little cave. I went in by the kitties and Salt came to visit me. Salt and I got some playtime in with their string. Chili and Pepper were in a "hang out under the bed" kinda mood tonight. I tried to coax Chili out to see me, but had no luck. Maybe tomorrow!

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning the pups were sleeping soundly when I came in. Sadie hopped right up when I told them good morning. Everyone went out for their potty break. After I made sure Cole did his business, I went out to water the front plants quick. When I returned, all three came running over for some attention! After all the excitement was over, they each ventured off to go explore. I guess the grass was a bit damp this morning, so they had to take turns to get their tootsies dried off before coming back in. This afternoon was hot and humid out. All three ran outside to do their business. They were lazy pups in this heat! Sadie and Zoie both picked spots in the grass to lounge  and soak up some sun. Cole hung out on the patio, and eventually came to sit with me for some attention. Cole got to go on the bed again before I left. This evening, the pups met me at the door. They were ready to head back out. It was still pretty toasty out this evening. Cole did his business, then came and pawed at me for his pets. The girls were off checking things out in the yard. Zoie found a big bug that she was chasing for awhile. No one ate very well for breakfast, but they all did this evening.

Quinney, Billy & the gang

This morning I came in and let the pups out for their potty break right away. While they were out, I got their breakfast ready. Billy was waiting at the door by the time I returned. Those two came in to eat, so I checked on the hamster next. She was sleeping, but began to travel down the tube when she heard me getting out food. I gave her a couple yogurt treats as well. Next, I went to see the kitties. Salt was first to come see me. Then, Pepper followed and got some pets. I opened their blinds and turned on the water. The pups were ready to head back out. I sat out there with them for awhile. Quinney explored, while Billy sat with me and got lots of pets! She cracked me up when she went on a tail chasing spree. Haha! I filled their bowls and Quinney got a drink from the hose. Soon, it was time to head back in. Billy had eaten her breakfast later after I left this morning. I let them out for their evening potty break while I got dinner and fresh water for them. Neither wanted to eat dinner just then, so they both went back out for their play time. Tonight I visited with the kitties a bit longer. Salt came out for a little attention. Pepper and I played with their string for awhile, then she wanted some chin scratches. Before the pups came back in for the night, I got Oreo her carrots and lettuce and checked on the hamster again quick.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This evening Sadie and Cole met me at the door. They followed along to the kitchen and waited while I read mom's notes quick. Then, the three pups and I headed out back. Zoie made sure to bring a toy along. They all did their business right away. Zoie was off exploring, while the other two came to sit by me for their pets. Sadie gave me lots of kisses. Cole kept pawing for more attention. I saw Zoie found a little frog that she chased around for a bit. She was quite amused with the jumping critter! Haha. When it was time, we all went in and I tucked them in for the night.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening I came in and spotted Oreo at the top of the stairs. He waited there and meowed at me a few times. Then, he started to make his way down and to the kitchen. Oreo got his dinner while I took care of their things. I set the kitty bag outside and as I closed the door, I saw Stuffy sitting at the top of the stairs this time. Both boys came to visit me today. They laid on either side of me the whole time, each enjoying their pets. Stuffy just sat, while Oreo sprawled out on his side. Such silly boys. They will be happy to have mom and dad home soon for more snuggles!

Major

This morning I went out back and called for Major. He was already up, so he must have heard me coming. He made his way inside and seemed to have a little easier time than last night. He waited behind me while I got his breakfast ready for him. Major ate well and got his medicine. When he was finished, he waited patiently for his cookie! I got him one to work on, then gave him some pets before he wandered back out. This evening, I heard Major as I walked up. He must have heard me coming again. Major was already almost to the back door when I got there. He came in and ate his dinner for me. It was pretty toasty out tonight, but at least he had plenty of shade in his yard. I got him a fresh bowl of cold water for out back. He hung out inside with me for a few pets, and of course, another cookie!

Major

This evening I went out and called for Major. He was relaxing in his usual spot, in the shade. He got up and came wandering over. He was very careful to find his footing, and even took baby steps to make his way inside. Poor guy. He got in and I gave him a few pets, then got his dinner ready. He got his shot while he ate. I got him a fresh cool bowl of water for outside. After I cleaned up his bowl, I got Major a cookie. He wanted to eat it inside where it was cool. He eventually headed back out when he was done.
