Abbie, Guinevere, Sonny & Tabitha

This afternoon Abbie ran to see me and sat down by my feet. I decided to take her for a walk because it was really nice out. She led the way and was quite the adventurer! She even tried to show off by balancing on the curb a ways. She was so cute! When we got back I took care of the litter pans. Tonight when I arrived, I took Abbie out right away. We went for a short walk because it was dark and cold out. We got back and everyone gathered in the laundry room for feeding time! All three kitties came out and everything. Guinevere was more social then ever, after I gave her food, she wanted to be my best friend! Once everyone finished eating, Abbie sat with me for awhile and gave me lots of kisses. Then she quickly ran to clean off Sonny's plate after he left.

Fiona, Lew, Danner & Jenny

This evening the pups were all barking when they heard me pull in. Everyone ran to the door to see me. As soon as I got in, the little Christmas ornaments in the dish went flying with a whoosh of Fiona's tail! I quickly picked them up so she wouldn't scoop any up. They all raced me to the garage. Once I got there, they had all gone outside! That made me laugh. As soon as they heard the food in their bowls, they were all heading back in to eat. Afterwards we went outside for a little bit. Later we went back in and played in the living room. Jenny of course was attached to my hip, never leaving my side for attention! Lew came and quietly sat on my other side while I pet him. Danner came barreling in once in awhile and tried to climb into my lap! Fiona sat close to the kitchen, ready to run in for treat time! Later everyone relaxed. Lew and Fiona curled up on the pillows behind the couch. Danner found a kong to play with. He was rolling around with it and being silly! Jenny stayed glued to my leg the whole time! Haha! When it was time they all lined up excitedly for their treats.

Piglet, Echo, Zephyr, Tony & Chickens

This morning the roosters were doing their morning call back and forth to each other! The kitties were both waiting to see me when I got inside. I got them their breakfast right away, then went to go find Piglet. She was sprawled out on the.floor in the bedroom and didn't even hear me come in! I softly called her name, so as not to scare her. She sat up and was still a little groggy. She enjoyed a nice belly scratch while she woke up a bit. Piglet followed me around a lot this morning. It was chilly and foggy out though, so she waited while I tended to the chickens. When I came back, I had her stick it out with me for a short walk. The kitties got a few pets and scratches, and Piglet her treat, before I left. This evening had turned out to be just gorgeous! Piglet was at her post, waiting for my arrival. She came to the door to say hi, then waited on her bed while I got dinner together for everyone. The chickens were gathered at the door again, waiting for their evening snack and yummy bugs. As soon as the mealworms hit the ground, there was a flash of feathers to get them all! Tonight Piglet and I got to take a nice long walk. She enjoyed it this time, now that it was nice out, and she even had a little skip in her step. She will be happy to have an even nicer day tomorrow for more walks!

Bella & Zoe

This morning the sleepy puppies woke up when I opened the door. Zoe started barking right away and bouncing up and down. Bella just followed me around until I stopped and let her give me a smooch. They both charged out the backdoor. Bella didn't linger, she took care of business right away. It was cold out. Zoe, on the other hand, was running around the fence like a bullet, so excited she couldn't handle it. When they came back inside, I sat down and was attacked with kisses from both of them again. They each got their treats, then started chasing eachother around. Bella wanted the bone Zoe stole from her. It was quite amusing. That night when I showed up, Bella was jumping all over the place this time. She followed me to the backdoor and zoomed out with Zoe. I refilled their bowls while they were out. Bella let me know when they were done. They came back in and Bella took a nice, long drink, getting me drenched in water with kisses after. Zoe was zooming around the place like it was her playground. They were so hyper tonight!

Chloe

Chloe was sleepy this morning when I arrived. She gave me some kisses to say hello, then we went outside. It was chilly out, but she didn't mind. She wandered around for a bit, then brought me back her frizbee so we could play. We headed back inside and she wanted to share her chair by the window with me. She layed down on my lap and dozed off a bit. This evening she was sitting behind the door, knowing when I was going to arrive. I gave her a hug then we went out back. She dropped her frizbee at my feet so we could play some more. She abandoned it in the yard somewhere when she had her fill. We went back inside and she still hadn't eaten much, so I sat with her, seeing if having company would help. She ate a little bit for me, then went and layed down behind the couch.

Sarge

Sarge was so happy to get out and play this afternoon. He bounced up and down, beating me to the backdoor again. I finally got him to calm down for two seconds so he could go potty. Then he started rolling around in the grass. When he was ready to go back in, he sat patiently and let me go in first. We got inside and he layed down on his cozy bed so I could rub his belly.

Piglet, Echo, Zephyr, Tony & Chickens

Today I heard one of the roosters do his morning call as I walked up to the house. Echo and Zephyr came running and were dancing around me as I made my way to the laundry room. They were very lovey this morning! Echo was rubbing her face on the food container. Zephyr came over and rubbed against the wall next. They worked on their yummy breakfast while I cleaned their boxes. I went out to feed the chickens next. Tony was standing at the door ready to come out. The chickens scurried to eat the lettuce as I scattered pieces for them. Back inside, I went to look for Piglet. She was snuggled up all cozy on her pillow by the bed. It was misting out this morning and the grass was very wet, so I left it up to her if she wanted to go for a walk. We took a short one, just long enough to do her business. Then, she cut back towards home. This evening little Piglet was watching out the window as I pulled in. Zephyr came running from the kitchen for some attention. The kitties thought they were going to get some more canned food when I got Piglet's dinner ready. The chicken and Tony were all gathered by the door this evening. They gathered around and ran for the coop when I tossed in their mealworms and night time snack. The little rooster had knocked over his water dish, so I made sure to refill that. I gave them some extra feed this evening too since it was getting low. I went back inside to get Piglet, and we went for a nice long walk around the pasture. She was such a good girl! When we finished she worked on her dinner and got a snack before I left.

Bella & Zoe

This morning Bella was all curled up on the couch when I showed up. She quickly ran to see me while I let Zoe out of the kitchen. I let them outside while I filled up their food and water bowls. Bella scratched at the door to let me know when they were done. I let them back in and they both started demanding attention. Zoe was jumping all over me and Bella was giving me lots of kisses. I felt so special! Then they settled down for awhile so I could give them treats. Tonight when I arrived, Bella was at my heels again while I let out Zoe. They went outside for me, regardless of the rain. I let them dry off in the kitchen for a minute or two before releasing them into the rest of the house. They weren't quite as energetic tonight as they were this morning. I think they were sleepy. They each grabbed a bone and picked a spot to chew on them.

Chloe

Chloe was hiding behind the corner when I showed up this evening. She barked once or twice until I managed to get the lights on, then she recognized me and ran to say hello. She was suddenly filled with so much energy, she was jumping to get to the backdoor. I let her out right away. Even though it was raining, she still went out and took care of her business with no problem. She came back and knew it was time to play. I found one of her small, stuffed toys and she immediately stole it, playing keep away with it. She was going crazy, running around me and trying to get me to grab it before she quickly pulled away. She finally got worn out and layed down for a bit while giving me lots of slobbery kisses.

Sarge

Sarge charged out of his kennel this afternoon. He beat me to the door then we headed out. He was bouncing up and down, trying to get me to stop and give him attention, but I led him to the grass so he would take care of business first. Once he was done, it was back to hopping. He would put both paws up on me so I would catch them and hold his hands. It was so cute! We went back in and after he got a drink, we sat by his bed and he got a tummy rub.
