Griffin & Macy

This morning Macy was sleeping soundly when I walked in. Griffin was wide awake, sitting in his bed and ready to go out! By the time I got to the back door, Macy woke up and wandered over. It was warm and humid outside already, so I just let them play in the backyard. Griffin and Macy both did a lot of exploring and sniffing around. This afternoon we went and played in the backyard for awhile. It was pretty muggy out today, so we made a few trips in and out. I let them roam around and explore, then we went in to cool off. Macy ate a little, while Griffin sat by me for attention. When she was finished, then Griff decided to grab a few bites as well. Later, we went back out for another potty break. This evening Macy heard me come in, but couldn't find me! By the time she got up and made her way to the door, I was already walking through the kitchen. I could hear her following behind, barking since she didn't know who was home. When she finally caught up, she stopped and came outside with us. They did their thing outside for awhile. Later, we came inside for dinner and a drink of water.

Griffin & Macy

This evening as soon as I opened the door, the pups started barking. Macy came right up to me and continued for a bit. By the time we made it to the back door, I think she remembered who I was. We went outside and she got to sniff at me awhile. I grabbed a ball and tossed it for Griffin. He wanted attention instead! He stood by me for a few back scratches. Later, we headed inside so they could get some food and water in before bedtime. They both nibbled a bit. Then, Griffin wandered off and curled up on a chair.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

Today I went inside and let Carson, Cate & Toby outside. It was nice and cool out this morning again, because it had just finished raining. I was going to let them stay out a bit longer, but since it was wet outside, Cate and Toby wanted back in pretty quick. I let them come in and roam around the dog room awhile. Since it had stormed all night, the plants didn't need watering this morning. So instead, I took that time to clean up the dog room a little. It was getting pretty fuzzy in there. I let Little Foot out for his turn too. Then, I went to feed momma turtle. This evening everyone went out fpr a potty break quick after I changed out their water. They all came in for dinner. While they were busy, I got Bella some fresh food and water, then went to take care of filling the tree bags. I got the back ones finished, then started letting the pups back outside again. Bella was hanging out there with us, visiting the pups too!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Both kitties were laying on their tower this morning, facing the same direction. They both were just sitting there, relaxed and looking right at me. After I finished with their things, I stopped to pet Kimmie a bit. She was waiting for me on the back of the couch. She then followed me in to visit Jerrie. He enjoyed being brushed for quite awhile. Kimmie sat in the window, just below him. She was watching his tail flicking around. So, I started playing with her a bit. She came out and got some brush and chin scratch time in as well. I could see her playfulness coming out in her eyes. Sure enough, she had enough and was back to play mode!

Shadow & Lucy

Lucy met me at the door as usual this morning. She followed me all around. Today Shadow came right out and joined me in the kitchen. I think he knew they were getting a portion of a fresh can of food today! He waited for me to put the plate down, then helped himself, while I went to clean their box. Lucy followed along, and sat on the counter to watch me. I got them each a couple snacks after I finished. Once Shadow had his fill of food, he went and sprawled out on the living room floor. Lucy and I played with her rope toy today. She rolled around, catching and biting at the string. She did a couple flips when I made it fly over her. Then, she laid on her side and kicked at the rope with her back feet, while holding onto it. She cracks me up!

Sadi & Stormy

I didn't see any kitties right away this morning, so I went ahead and got their food ready. I found miss Sadi sleeping under the bed today. I took her in and got her her medications. She was pretty congested today, so she got an extra pill. I set her by the food and she turned away, so I redirected her to the soft food. This time she sniffed at it and nibbled a bit. I went out on the patio to look for Stormy next, and she hopped down from her chair right away. She started rolling around on the ground. I picked her up and took her in to get her meds as well. Her lip looks about the same to me today. She did well for her medicine, then she went to get a bite to eat. By this time, Sadi had wandered out to see me. She enjoyed another long brushing session today.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Kimmie was laying on the middle tier, and Jerrie was laying at the bottom on the floor when I walked in. I headed right for their room to take care of their things quick. I got them the second half of their snack today. They both wandered into the kitchen, then followed the bowls to their room. They sat and nibbled a bit, then walked in together to the front room. Kimmie went right to her window and Jerrie sat with me. He got brushed for awhile and enjoyed some chin scratches too!

Shadow & Lucy

Today Lucy was right by the door again, ready to follow me around. I set out their last portion of canned food, then cleaned their box. I still hadn't seen Shadow anywhere, and he hadn't come to eat yet. I peeked in the front room, but didn't see him there either. I finally had to resort to getting out the kitty crack! I shook the bag once and Shadow came racing out from under the table in the corner of the living room! They both sat and stared at me like little puppy dogs. They each got some treats. Shadow came over after he finished and got a couple back scratches as he sniffed at me. He wandered over to go eat some yummy food after that. Lucy sat with me and got some love. She wasn't really wanting to play today, just wanted pets! She made me laugh when she curled up in her box next to me.

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy was right there to greet me when I came in. She rubbed up against my legs while I got out their food and her medicine. I set her up on the counter and gave her a dose. She was a very good girl. Her lip looks improved since the picture you sent. It looks white like it is healing and not red and inflamed. She wasn't too thrilled that I was messing with her! Haha! She followed me into their room to eat after I put the food down. I looked for Sadi next, and found her out on the patio. She got up when I walked out there and started walking towards me. We headed inside and she got her meds next. I set her down by the food and she nibbled a bit. She wandered out to the living room to see me, just like usual. She didn't seem like she was having any issues finding me. She sat next to me and enjoyed a long brushing. Stormy steered clear and decided to lay by the windows to groom herself. Sadi got plenty of brushing and chin scratches today.

Cate, Carson, Little Foot, Toby & Bella

This morning I didn't see Bella right away when I got there, so I headed inside. The pups were all quiet when I walked in. Then, the heinies started wiggling! I let the first group out for awhile. I went and watered the plants while they were busy. I could Miss Bella jingling, then I saw her hop up on the fence. By the time I was done, Cate and Toby were ready to come in. Carson came along too, wandering in behind them. Little Foot went out for his time while I got their dinner ready for tonight. This evening Bella was back out front again, like usual. She walked me to the front door and pawed at it. She just doesn't give up! Haha! I changed out the dog's water, then let them out. Bella was hanging out right by the door, so I had to try to get Cate to go out without her sneaking in! After everyone made their first round of potty breaks, they worked on their dinner. While they did that, I made sure Bella had fresh water and plenty of food. Then, it was round two for the pups to go outside. They didn't stay out long tonight since it was hot and humid out.
