Sugar, Buddy, Jimmy & Charlie

This morning I let Buddy and Jimmy outside right away. Sugar didn't want to come out until I got some yummy food ready for them! Buddy and Jimmy both didn't want to take their meds for me, turning their noses up at it. I got out a container of the Beneful and mixed them in that. Jimmy found one and spit it out, so I mixed it back in. Then Buddy decided he was finished when there was still a half of a pill left. So I had to grab a piece of the food and try to get them both in his mouth. Little stinkers! haha! After they finally finished taking their meds for me, I had everyone go play outside. They got to play outside all morning. I came back this afternoon and they were ready to come back in. Sugar had some lunch, then went back in her room. Buddy curled up on his bed while Jimmy snuggled with me for awhile.

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was sleeping in his usual spot and didn't even hear me come in! I noticed his little green kitty ball has been in different places each time I come. After I finished with everything I went in to see him and he was still snoozing away. I called him and his little head popped right up, then he jumped down to see me. Today we played with his little blue kong toy! He was rolling around and chasing after it for quite awhile. After he was done playing he got pet and brushed.

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon we took another nice long walk! Benny ran his laps around the living room when I came in, and Kota was talking to me as I got their leashes on. They were happily trotting along, stopping now and again to smell things. Kota chased after a few grasshoppers and was trying to pick up everything she saw today. She got a straw wrapper stuck on her nose for a little bit. haha! Benny was getting excited at his usual doggy friend's houses. When we got back they were both tired. Benny's hot spot wasn't bothering him at all on our walk today, so that's good!

Follow the leader... or just trying to stay in the shade?

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was in his usual spot. There was a little black and white kitty in the backyard today! It was up by the patio, over by some of the flowers. As soon as I turned on the hose the little guy took off. Jerrie made his way down to see me again today after I finished taking care of my duties. He got brushed and pet for a long time. He scratched his chin on the brush again while I pet him. Today he was even rolling around on it! When I got up to leave, Jerrie started meowing at me and giving me his sad face, so I said 'Ok' and pet him a little longer. He sure knows how to do that well!

Flax

Flax was happy to see me when I got in this morning. He immediately came up to me with his tail wagging! We went outside right away and spent most of the visit walking around out in the back yard. After he went potty and we walked around awhile, he decided it was time to go back in. I got him some food and fresh water. We went outside again after he ate and drank to sit out on the back patio, while he got a bunch of attention. He was giving me lots of kisses today! We walked around a bit more before I left so he could go potty one more time. This afternoon I met the groomer out at the house. I let Flax outside, then he saw the truck, turned right around and headed for the back of the house! She told me that's what Flax does every time she comes. Silly boy! After he was finished I came back to let him inside again. He smells so nice and clean! I gave him a couple extra treats for being such a good boy. Tonight Flax only wanted to take a short walk around outside. He stood and watched me walk around for awhile, then he decided he was going back in! haha! He went to lay on his bed out in the patio, so I sat with him and pet him. We went inside so he could have some supper. Once he was finished he came and stood by me to get his back scratched. I got his little leg going like crazy, getting all his good itchy spots! He even would even turn around so I'd get the other side for him. "Ok, now this side!"

Flax

This morning Flax went to the wrong door to see me! I came in and said hi to him, then he started wagging his tail. We went outside and after he went potty we went for a nice long walk. He wandered along behind me and sniffed around at everything. We made our way back up to the house, and he still wanted to spend the nice cool morning outside. We sat out in the screened patio for awhile. Flax stood by me and got his back scratched for a long time. When we went in I got out more treats and placed them around the room. He got to work right away! Tonight Flax and I took another nice walk around the backyard. He took his own little roundabout way behind me, checking things out as he went. When he was finished walking around he headed back toward the house. We hung outside again for a little bit before going in so he could eat his supper. He has been eating very well for me. He laid down on his bed when he was finished and got some more attention. Before I left I gave him some more yummy treats around the house!

Jerrie

This morning Jerrie was basking in the sunlight in his usual spot on the top of his perch. When I came in to see him, he jumped from the very top all the way to the floor! That's a big jump! He came down and stretched himself out so I could brush him. He grabbed the brush from me and rubbed his face all over it. After awhile he got up and started walking circles around me, rubbing up against me and purring.

Flax

This afternoon when I came to see Flax, he was snoozing on the couch. He sat up and barked when he heard me come in, then came over to say hi. We went outside right away and he did his business. I tried to get him to take a walk with me since it was nice today, but he thought it was still too hot out. We went back inside for awhile. He hadn't touched any of the treats that were left out for him yet. But, after a bit he grabbed one and curled up on his bed to enjoy it. We heard some noises after that, so we went to investigate. He went out into the garage, then wandered around the yard for awhile. Tonight Flax heard me coming before I even got to the door. We went outside right away again and he walked around for a little bit, before heading back to the door. He still wasn't up for a walk tonight, but maybe tomorrow. I think he misses mom and dad too much! He did eat his supper for me, then we went back outside to wander around the house. When we came in he laid on his bed and had some more treats while I scratched his back. He sure liked that!

Jerrie

Today Jerrie was laying on the very top perch of his kitty tree when I came to see him. After I finished taking care of everything, I went in and he did a big stretch, then came down to see me! He hopped onto the chair, then crawled up onto the desk and walked around a little bit. I called his name and he meowed back at me. Jerrie laid down by me and enjoyed every minute of me petting him! He was purring away and once in awhile would look back and meow.

Dakota & Benny

This afternoon since it was nice and cool out, Kota, Benny and I took a nice long walk. They both started chasing after some birds right away. Lots of dogs were out in their yards too, so that kept Benny very excited and busy the whole time. There was a sprinkler out on a lawn that Kota and Benny had fun running through as we went by. Once we got home, Benny was pretty tired. Kota wanted to go out in the backyard and run around for a few minutes.
