Sophie & Roxy

Today the girls were waiting by the gate to say hi. I called over to them and they bounced up and down happily. They were waiting by the door to come in and get their paws dried off. The girls got their hello pets, then I started getting their food ready. Sophie got to work right away, while Roxy went and hopped in her chair. I went over by her and gave her a few more pets, then she was ready to go eat too. After they ate, the girls came and hopped up on the couch by me. They were climbing all over each other. Haha! Roxy eventually went to go lay on the bed, then sat in her chair awhile as well. Miss Sophie hung out with me for her belly rubs as usual. She got the hiccups today and that made me laugh. It was so cute! The ladies took little naps until it was time to head outside again with their snacks.

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Bu

This morning I came in and saw Tatty in the living room. She went and quickly hid behind the recliner. I quietly went over there and talked to her, trying to get her to come out to see me. She didn't appreciate that idea and took off down the hall to hide. I let the pups out for their morning potty break. They all were good pups and did their business. They came in and I got them their food and water. They were playing musical crates again while they waited. Haha. Nani decided she'd join Panda in his bed. After I got all the food ready, I had her come out and go in her own. This afternoon I let the kiddos out when I arrived. Miss Nani didn't quite make it to the door, but she tried. I had her continue on out to finish her business while I cleaned up quick. It was pretty nice out there this afternoon. They came in and I went to check on Tatty. She was hanging out under the bed. She's still good at getting her treats after I leave. This evening it was time for the pups to go out back again. They all went out for me and did their thing. Nani came in first and the other two took their time. When they were ready, they came in and hung out while I got them all fresh water again. Nani got her second dose of antibiotic for today. She's so good about taking those! Miss Tatty was hiding out under the couch this time. She will be happy to have her parents home soon so she can come out more!

Sophie & Roxy

Today the sun was shining and nice and warm, even though it was still a little on the chilly side. The girls were up and waiting by the gate when they heard me pull up. I went to the back where they were waiting for me and let them in. They had to get their paws dried off first. Good girls! Sophie must have been hungry today. I filled the first bowl and she got right to work! Roxy joined in as well shortly after. I waited for the girls on the couch and they promptly came and monkey piled on me when they were finished! Haha. They sat on either side of me and threw paws, wanting their pets. I kept high fiving them when they did that. Roxy went and sat on her chair awhile. Sophie was content rolling around on the couch and sprawling out for her belly rubs. When it was time, they got their snacks and headed back outside.

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Bu

This morning I came in and woke up the pups. I started letting them out and we made our way to the door. Panda and Bu went out while I went back for Miss Nani. She was taking a little longer to make her way out. She didn't get very far this morning before she went potty. I still had her go out while I cleaned up quick. The kids all came in and wandered around while I got breakfast ready for them. Nani took her meds like a good girl. I went to check on Tatty as well, but she wasn't in her usual spot under the bed. I mad sure she had plenty of food and water and left her snacks for her. This afternoon I let the pups out for their potty break. Miss Nani didn't quite make it again, but that's ok! I let her continue on out back with the others while I cleaned up. The sun was nice and warm today, so they took their time out back. Miss Tatty was back under the bed when I went to check for her this time. This evening the kiddos went out for their dinner time potty break. Nani got all the way out this time and they all did their thing. I gave Nani her evening dose once they got back. Tatty wasn't under the bed again, so I was determined to find her new hiding spot. Haha! I found her hiding out under the couch.

Oscar

This afternoon Oscar was snoozing when I arrived. He came out of the bedroom once he heard me. We headed out back and he did his business. The neighbors were outside, so Oscar was busy watching them for a bit. He was running back and forth from once side of the yard to the other. Someone else must have been out too. It was pretty chilly out, so we headed inside a little early to play. Oscar showed me his new rope toy. We played fetch with that for awhile. When it was time, he did some tricks for me for his snack.

Sophie & Roxy

Today I pulled up and the girls barked at me from the gate. I said hi to them and they jumped up and down happily. They were waiting for me at the back door. The girls ran in and said their hellos. We sat on the couch and they squirmed around being silly as usual. Shortly after, they both went to eat their dinner. I think they were happy to have some better weather today. They were acting a little spunky! Haha. After they ate, Sophie and Roxy were chasing each other and messing around. So cute! Once they settled down, Roxy went and hung out in her chair. Sophie crawled up and laid across my lap on her back for some belly rubs. Silly girls! When it was time, I let them back out and gave them a couple snacks.

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Boo

This morning I came in to let the kiddos out for their potty break. Panda was first to head for the door. I had to get the girls to follow, but then they all headed out back. When they came in, they hung out while I got breakfast and fresh water for everyone. Miss Nani had an accident overnight, so I cleaned up her bed and got her clean bedding. She went right to work eating her breakfast after I gave her her medicine. I went to go see Tatty next, but she wasn't in her usual spot. I looked around a little, but she must have a new spot she was hiding out at. I left her her treats as usual. This afternoon it had warmed up a bit more than yesterday. I let the pups out and they lined up at the door to go out. They did their thing and even hung out a few minutes before they were ready to come inside. Panda was first to finish his potty break. He came and waited by me, pawing at me for his pets. Bu ran in next and did her silly wiggle. They make me laugh. I got the pups all tucked in and went to see Tatty. I saw she'd eaten her treats I left this morning, so that was good. I found her under the bed and I talked to her for a minute. She still isn't brave enough to venture out to see me. That's ok. I left her a few more snacks. This evening Panda trotted quickly to the door. I let him out and went back to get the girls. Miss Nani was a little slower moving tonight. Sweet lady. They all went out and pottied for me. Miss Nani got her second dose of antibiotic and some fresh bedding. Tatty was in her usual spot when I went to check on her. I scooped her box and left her snacks in her spot. I think the kids were all happy to have a little better weather today!

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Boo

This morning the rain had changed to sleet and was coming down fast. I went to go let the pups out right away. Somehow, they knew it was crappy out before even leaving the dog room. Nani just squatted right outside her cage. She wasn't braving that yuck this morning! Haha. The other two took some convincing to go out to do their business. They did though. I cleaned up, then got the pups their food and plenty of water. Miss Nani got her benadryl as well. Tatty was in her usual spot, hiding out. I left her her treats as usual. This afternoon the sleet had changed to snow and the roads weren't quite as bad. I came in and to my surprise, spotted Tatty in the living room! She is venturing out more! She did take off to go hide, but she's making progress I think! I let the kids out and they all went outside for me. This evening the roads were clear and the rain/snow/sleet had stopped for the day. The pups all wandered out of their beds to follow me out back. Boo was being her silly self and wiggling around happily. They went out and all did their business. Panda came racing back in. His feet must have been chilly! Haha. The kids roamed around while I cleaned Boo's bed and got everyone some fresh water. Everyone is doing well and tucked in their warm house on this chilly evening.

Sophie & Roxy

This morning we had ice and sleet coming down, so I made sure to get over and see the girls right away, in case the roads got too bad. I got in and opened the door. The ladies woke up and came into the house. They had been cozy and dry in their house on the patio. I got them their breakfast and then we came and sat on the couch. The girls snuggled up with me for awhile, busy pawing at me and sneaking their kisses. Soon, they got hungry and went to work. Sophie returned for more snuggles and Roxy went to lounge on the bed again. I let them back out when it was time and gave them some snacks.

Shadow

This morning the weather had turned and it was sleeting outside. I came in and had to call for Shadow. It was good nap weather so he must have still been snoozing. He eventually came out and helped me get his breakfast ready. Shadow snacked while I took care of his things. When I returned, Shadow was ready for his attention time. He came and snuggled up in my lap again. He purred away and closed his eyes as he enjoyed his pets. He took a break to go snack on more breakfast. When Shadow came back, he thought it was bath time again. Haha.

Sophie & Roxy

Today was a cold and rainy day outside. I came in and opened the back door, then the ladies woke up and came out of their cozy house. They came inside and happily greeted me while I worked on getting their  dinner for them. We went and sat on the couch for a bit and they each climbed up on either side of me. Roxy was enjoying some ear rubs while Sophie got her belly itched. They took turns squirming around and sprawling themselves out across my lap. Haha! After they settled down, the girls both went to go eat their food. Roxy went and laid on mom and dad's bed afterwards, while Sophie came to snuggle up with me.

Bella & Chico

This morning it was cold, windy and raining again. I let the pups out and they ran out to quickly do their business. Chico came back inside as quickly as he could. Miss Bella hung out on the patio under the covered part and looked around. She checked out her favorite corner a bit as well. Chico was busy working on his breakfast. Then, he went back to his cozy bed. He sure doesn't like this cold stuff! Miss Bella came in and worked on her breakfast next. She was scared of the grill cover flapping around again, so she hung out by me for the rest of the time, enjoying her snuggled and heiny scratches. This afternoon the rain hadn't let up yet. I let the pups out and Bella raced outside. Chico went out to the patio, but did not want to go out into the rain this time. I tried to get him to go out to go potty, but he didn't want to. He wanted back in the nice warm house! The pups spent most of the time inside this afternoon. Even Bella didn't want to go out much. They both ate a big lunch for me and came by for their pets. Before I left, I got them each their peanut butter snacks.

Shadow

This morning Shadow met me at the door. He quickly ran into the pantry and stood in the box of water bottles while I got his morning treats out. He waited in his spot until I delivered his breakfast for him. While he was busy, I scooped his box. When I got back, he was ready for some attention. Shadow came and sat in my lap, then took turns snacking and coming back for more pets. The last time, he sat with his back up against me and decided it was time for a bath. Haha. This evening Shadow met me at the door as usual. I got him some dinner and got his treats out for him. When I returned from scooping his box, Shadow met me in the living room. He curled up in my lap right away. I guess the cold and rain was getting to him today too. He was all about the snuggles tonight! Shadow just sat in my lap, purring loudly and enjoying his pets. He sat there pretty much right up until it was time to go.

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Boo

This morning I saw the pups had played their games again last night! I had a good laugh as Boo was staring up at me from the middle crate. "What?" Haha. I will make sure to put her leftovers up at my last visit so Panda doesn't start getting too much extra food. I let the kids all out and they braved the cold and rain to do their business. They wandered around the dog room while I cleaned up beds and got their breakfast. Meanwhile, they were playing musical cages. Haha! They started all getting into the same one. What goofy pups. I got everyone sorted out and fed them breakfast. This afternoon it was still raining. Yuck. Miss Nani was snoozing when I got in. The other two were up and ready to head out. We all lined up and made our way out back. Nani didn't want to go out at first, but after a little convincing she did. When they came in, I got them more water and went to check on Tatty. She's doing alright, just still isn't ready to say hi. This evening I came to let the pooches out for their potty breaks. Boo was bouncy and excited. She cracks me up. Everyone went out back and did their thing. They got to wander around their room a little while I got them all new water. Panda would run up and shake his paw at me for some attention. Haha. Lastly, it was time to check on Tatty. She was in her usual spot. I knelt down and talked to her, trying to get her to come out. Maybe tomorrow.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening both boys were in the dining room waiting to see when I'd arrive. Stuffy ventured to the living room and Oreo met me in the kitchen. He meowed at me while I got his dinner ready. By the time I finished with their other things, the boys were both waiting for me. Stuffy was ready for his fireplace time. I filled the treat toy for Oreo so he was excited about that. He got some snacks out, then he came and snuggled up by me for some pets. He kept going back and forth, so I moved the toy closer to us so he could get treats and pets at the same time! Stuffy got himself all cozy by the fire. It was a perfect night for that with the cold and rainy evening we had.

Shadow

This morning Shadow came and greeted me at the door. He quickly zoomed into the laundry room to check out if he was missing anything. Haha. He has been eating great each meal this week! I picked up his old plate and got him a new plate of fresh food. He went to work on that while I tended to his other things quick. When I got back, he started the kitty hacking like he was going to get sick. So, I quickly picked him up and raced him to the kitchen. I guess he ate a little too much to quick this morning. He has been very good and has never done that up until now for me. I cleaned up quick, then he and I sat in the living room. He snuggled up in my lap for a bit, then ventured off to his room. This evening Shadow met me at the door and helped me get his dinner ready. He did much better this evening and snacked here and there like usual. He would come sit on my lap in between snackings. Shadow enjoyed his pets tonight and just purred away.

Ginger & Tiger

This morning was pretty nice out, but the rain is on its way. Ginger was up and ready to go outside. I let her out and went back to get Tiger. He was still snoozing away! He woke up and joined her out back. They hung outside for a little while since it was nice out. When they came in, Ginger tried to make a break for the bedroom. Haha! I got them back to the kitchen and Ginger got her morning meds. I made sure that the pups had plenty of food and water, then I got them each a snack.

Bella & Chico

This morning the pups were ready to head outside. I opened their doors and they both zoomed out. We all headed outside this morning since it was pretty nice out. I put the food down for them and they took turns coming in to snack. Miss Bella was busy exploring and checking out her bushes for any little critters out there. When it was time, they came in and I got them each some cookies. This afternoon the rain was just starting. We have some nasty weather on the way. Chico did his business, then went back to his room and hung out in there. He wasn't having any of that! He would come out occasionally to check on things and say hi, and maybe even get a few bites to eat. Miss Bella didn't mind and was still roaming around out on the patio, checking for things. She would come in to get some pets from me, then would be back out exploring. This evening the rain had turned to a downpour. The pups both did their business, then hung out inside. Miss Bella would venture out onto the patio just under the cover of the roof. The wind started to blow and it made the grill cover flap around a bit. That kind of freaked her out! She came running in and would just peek out the door at it. Haha! Chico went and hid out in his room. He didn't want anything to do with that cold, blowing rain.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

This morning both Gabbie and Hudson met me at the door. Blackie was up too, and was making his way to the kitchen to say hi. I let them out and saw Zel was still snoozing in her bed. She hopped up when she heard the door and went out with the others. They were all waiting at the door after they did their business, ready for breakfast! After they all finished, we all headed outside. It was actually quite nice outside this morning, so the pups had plenty of time out back to play. Eventually the girls wanted in, so I let them go inside while Hudson stayed out a little longer. He was busy chasing after something out there! The girls both snuggled in their bed by the couch until it was time to get tucked in their crates. Blackie hung around for a few pets, then he went off to bed as well.

Panda, Nani, Tatty & Boo

This morning I came in and saw Boo and Panda had pulled a fast one on Miss Cindy and switched beds for the night. Haha! I let the pups all out and they wandered outside to do their business. It was pretty nice out this morning, so they weren't in a hurry to get back inside. After everyone pottied, it was time for breakfast! I got everyone their food, and Nani got her benadryl and had her eye wiped clean. They went to work while I went to check on Tatty. No kitty under the bed this morning.... then I noticed a big lump in the blankets. She was all burrowed under the covers. I lifted it up to peek at her and she came out. I got a quick pet in before she zoomed off to hide under the bed. So, I went and left her her snacks since she's still not ready to warm up just yet. This afternoon the clouds were rolling in. We have some nasty weather on the way. It was raining a little already, but not too bad. The pups all came out and did their business for me. Such good kids! We headed inside and I got them all some fresh water. Tatty was under the bed again and still didn't feel like coming out. She has been enjoying all the treats I leave out every time though! She might be a little "fluffier" when you get home. Hehe. This evening the rain had arrived. It was downpouring and roads are already flooding. Yay. I let the pups out of their beds and they made their way to the door. All three took a look outside and said "Nope!". Haha. Nani gave it a shot at least. Such a good girl. She ended up pottying on the floor just inside the door, so I cleaned that up. I sure don't blame them for not wanting to go out there! The other two eventually decided they really had to go and they ventured out and braved the torrential rains to do their business. They came inside and I tucked them in their beds before going to check on Tatty. I scooped her box and left her a couple more snacks.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening both boys met me in the kitchen and wanted some hello pets. I wished them a Merry Christmas and then got their dinner ready. Stuffy wandered on into the living room and sat by the fireplace to get ready. After I filled their treat toy, Oreo and I went over by him. I turned the fire on for him and he snuggled up close. Both boys worked on their treats for a bit. Oreo came and sprawled out next to me for some chin rubs, then would work on treats some more. I have to laugh at some of his methods. He's pretty good at it!
