Sophie & Roxy

It was a beautiful Easter day for the girls today! They knew it was me that pulled up, and barked all the way to the back door. They met me there, dancing excitedly. They came in today and got their snuggle time in. They made me laugh so hard today! They were being extra silly and full of kisses. Sophie came bouncing over and hopped up in my lap, then was rolling and kicking and moving all over the place! Meanwhile, Roxy was pawing at my arm and rubbing her face on me, then stealing kisses when Sophie had me pinned. Sophie took a break to eat her dinner. Roxy enjoyed my attention and belly rubs. When Sophie was done, she came running over and plopped herself in my lap again. Then she rolled around in the pillows, being silly again. We sure had fun today! Before I left, I got them each a yummy treat.

Pokey

Pokey came running into the room when I walked in the door, and announced my arrival! He was acting a little shy at first, crouching to the ground as I walked up to him. He let me pet him and gave my hand a little lick. I headed to the back door so we could go outside. As I opened it, he zoomed out ahead of me. I sat on the patio, then Pokey came rushing over to me. He rolled over next to me for some tummy scratches. He thoroughly enjoyed that for awhile. Some little girls and a neighbor dog came outside, so Pokey hopped up and ran over to the fence to say hi. He and the other dog bounced around for a couple minutes, before wandering off to go explore. There were plenty of people and dogs out today since it was so nice out! When it was time, we headed in and I made sure he had some fresh water. Later this afternoon, Pokey ran in to meet me again. He was much more at ease this time. He trotted along behind me to the door and outside. Pokey spent almost the whole time right next to me, getting pet. If I stopped, he'd either turn and nudge my hand with his nose, or would crawl into my lap! He got plenty of attention time in before he decided to take a stroll around the yard. The sun was very warm, so I took his bowl in and got him some cool water for outside. He took a long drink, then came over for more back scratches.

Sophie & Roxy

This afternoon the girls were all snuggled up in their cozy house. They came crawling out when I opened the door. It was stormy this morning, but the day turned out to be gorgeous! Since it was so nice out, we spent our visit outside. I brought their dinner out to them and they nibbled here and there. I got lots of kisses! Roxy was happy to get all the attention she could. Sophie would run over when she'd see Roxy having fun, and would plop herself in my lap! I got the girls a few treats and they laid in the grass in the sunlight to enjoy them. The girls spent some time lounging and watching all the neighbors outside. Before it was time to go I got them a couple more treats and fed the fishies.

Hope & Tag

Today I came in and let Hope outside right away. Tag followed us, but I kept him inside. Hope was bouncing around and happy to say hi. Eventually she wandered into the grass to do her business. Tag was at the door, crying to come out. Hope and I were about to head in so I could clean her bed. As soon as I cracked open the door, Tag pushed his way outside, determined to go out! I let him and Hope play while I cleaned up. It was pretty cold and windy out, so when I finished, Hope came inside for a little bit to play. We played tug and fetch with her little purple squeaky toy. She had fun for awhile, then wanted to go back out to play with Tag. They both did a little exploring. Hope found a bone that she carried around. Then, she found a wood plank that was fun too! Later I tried to coax Tag back inside with some treats. He happily came up and took a couple treats from my hand, then would back away. I tried to leave the door open and tossed a treat inside, but he would stop just at the door. He wanted to though! Hope kept running up to him and would jump up at him. So, I finally got Hope tucked back in and gave her her snack. I went back out with Tag, then after one try he ran right inside. Good boy!

Daisy

This morning miss Daisy was snuggled up on her towel on top of the washer and dryer. She sat and watched as I cleaned out her box. There were no messes today, so my feeding idea worked. After I topped off her dry food and gave her fresh water, I went to get her some canned food. I gave her just a tiny bit to start with again. She was already at the gate, waiting for me to deliver her deliciousness. She got working on that right away. While she was busy, I fed the fish their food. When I came back, Daisy had finished up and was waiting for more. I made her wait a little while so the food would settle. Before I left I gave her the rest of her dinner.

Daisy

Today Daisy was sitting in her usual spot on the washer and dryer. She gave me a meow hello when I came in. I noticed she'd had an upset tummy again while I was gone. Daisy was in a talkative mood again today. She meowed and rubbed up against the gate, walking back and forth from one side to the other. She knew it was time to eat! After I cleaned out her box, I got her some food and water. I gave Daisy just a tiny bit of canned food to work on, in hopes that she wouldn't eat so fast and it would give the food time to settle. While she worked on eating, I cleaned up. I laid out some clean towels for her to sit on. Next, I went to do my fish feeding rounds. Daisy had finished eating and made her way up to one of the towels I had set out. She curled up and started cleaning her face. Just before I left, I filled her bowl with the remainder of her food.

Mac

Today was much cooler outside, and a bit rainy. I timed my visit just right, after the rain took a little break. Mac was cozy and dry in his bed when I got there. He was full of energy today, bouncing all over the place! He was certainly ready for play time. I got his rope toy out and we started our game. Mac sure loves the cooler weather! It lets him keep playing much longer. He took a few drinks breaks, but was always right back for more. Mac enjoyed a cool drink from the spigot when I was refreshing his water buckets. He crawled between my legs while I waited for the water to fill, getting me to throw a few more times for him. Mac had worked up an appetite and began chowing down as soon as I filled his bowl. I got him his treats and headed out. He followed me to the gate to say good-bye, and I told him his family would be home soon!

Daisy

Today Daisy was curled up on the other counter when I came in. I noticed she had had some accidents. Something must not have sat right in her tummy yesterday. I got her some fresh food and water. I fed the fishies next. Then, I cleaned her box and got to work on the other spots. Daisy was busy snacking away while I cleaned. Hopefully she feels better today!

Mac

Today I met Mac by his house. He jumped to his feet and looked for his ball. He watched to make sure I got his rope out for him. Each day has been getting just a little cooler. The sun was bright and warm for us today, and the temperature was around 50 when I came. Mac had a blast, as we played his favorite game the whole time! His little puppy friend was out today, bouncing by the fence. Some people were out walking their dog by the pond, and it even went for a swim! Mac stopped to watch the dog, but only for a second or two. He was too focused on our game! Mac only stopped to rest when it was almost time to go. So, while he rested, I changed his water. He got to work on his food as soon as it hit his bowl. I got him a couple treats, then it was time to head out. Mac followed me today, and made sure to toss his ball over the fence for one last throw!

Daisy

Today Daisy was curled up on top of the washer and dryer again. She was very talkative today! She meowed at me a few times while I cleaned out her box. I got her some water and topped off her food. She hopped down and waited by the gate, meowing some more as I opened her food can. She got very excited once she saw the bowl coming her way. Daisy nibbled on her food until it was pretty much licked clean. She sat and talked to me for a minute before she hopped back up to her perch to take a nap.
