Sadie, Zoie & Cole

Tonight the kiddos met me in the laundry room when I arrived. Sadie was sure happy to see me! I let Sadie and Cole outside right away to do their business. They came in and Zoie went out, while I got their dinner ready. Zoie returned and went right to the living room to collect her toys! She stuffed her ball and bone in her mouth, then played her keep away game. I had them all work on their dinners and then Sadie and Cole also got their medicine. We sat in the living room when they were done. Sadie was busy giving me lots of kisses! Cole was happy to get lots of heiny scratches. And miss Zoie was busy just keeping her toys away from me. Haha. Everyone got one more potty break before bedtime and their night time snacks.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Ruby barked when I first walked in. I said hi back, then made my way to let her out. Rusty was busy searching for his red ball. We all headed outside for a bit so they could go potty. If that is Justin that has returned, I think he got a little sassy while he was away! He was putting his head down and chasing the others around the yard for awhile. Eventually he calmed down and was eating hay next to Chloe. Ruby did her business outside, then zoomed in the house. I was still out with Rusty when she came back out because she had to go again. Silly girl! Rusty wasn't bringing me his ball, so I went in to visit. Lance was in the kitchen walking ahead of me, being silly. He and I played with his mouse toy a little. I tried to keep his jumping to a minimum as much as possible. Miss Ruby and Mr. Rusty were tired kiddos today! Rusty curled up in a chair in the old living area and Ruby curled up on her couch for a nap. Later, we all went out again so they could get another potty break in, and so Rusty could play some fetch.

RJ, Chipper & Keaton

Today the boys all lined up in the garage when I arrived. They followed me to the kitchen, while I read mom's notes. Afterwards, we headed outside. Keaton and Chipper were arguing a little, so I had them try and calm down before we went out. RJ and Chipper went exploring out in the yard. Keaton stayed close to me, then he kept taking off to bark at something in the other yards. Later, we headed in and I got them each a treat. They all sat nicely for me. After I filled their food dishes, I got them all a rawhide. It was like musical treats! They kept stealing from each other and switching bones. Finally, they all settled in a spot to work on them. RJ came over to visit me for some attention. Keaton got upset about that, because he got close to his bone and growled a bit. So, I put all the bones up before I left, just in case. They all followed me to the garage to say goodbye.

Carson, Sammy & Bella

This morning Sammy was dancing around in the dog room when I arrived. I let her outside in back and got her some breakfast and fresh water. Next, Carson and Gracie went out in their area. Gracie made sure to stop and say hi! I made sure they had some water outside, then went to check on Bella. She purred and pranced around by my legs. When I was done, Angus went out for his break. He wandered around outside the longest. When he was tucked back into bed, I brought Sammy back in and got them all some treats. This evening Sammy was ready to go outside. I let her out back and made sure she had water that wasn't frozen. Angus went outside first, then came in to work on his dinner. I gave him his joint support pill as well. The other two went out before they got theirs as well. It took them a minute to figure out which bed to go to. They both went in Gracie' s at first! After everyone polished off their bowls, they all went out for another potty break. All the pups got another treat before bedtime.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I saw Kimmie was lounging at the top of her tower. I went in and took care of their things quick. Jer-bear was snuggled up on the couch. I pet him a bit, then headed to their room. Since Jerrie didn't follow at first, I went to pet Kimmie. She was in a sassy play mode today! She instantly started swatting at my fingers. Haha! She rolled around and tucked her head down, then would throw a paw out at me. Eventually, I could tell she was done. She gave me "the look". I went back out to see Jerrie, then he came to sit with me. He laid down and was happy to be pet and brushed until it was time to go.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today I headed to the kitchen, and was met by Mr. Oreo. He meowed at me a few times, then rubbed against my legs. He snacked on his food, while I went to clean the box. I saw Stuffy was all curled up on the bed. Oreo met me in the living room and plopped on the floor. He purred while I pet him. Later, Stuffs came in and got some attention as well. The boys got bored after a little bit, and both wandered off. I got out their laser light for something to do. Then, they both came racing back in, crawling frantically around on the floor after the red dot! They both scrambled around a lot longer than I thought. Then, they both pooped out and stayed in one spot to just watch it. They're so funny!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I let Ruby out, then the pups and I went outside. It was cool and drizzly outside. Ruby ran around, did her thing, then raced inside. I was happy to see my little bud today! He came up to me and did a big stretch against my leg. We took a break from the kitty toy today, so he wouldn't hurt his paws. I snuggled with him instead. He curled up with me and purred away for awhile. Then, he got playful and was all about playing with my hair and swatting at my strings on my sweatshirt. He's such a cute little goober. I sat by Ruby and gave her a belly scratch. I took Rusty outside later, so we could get a little game of fetch in. Ruby came out and did a couple laps around the yard again.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I got the food ready, then went to see the girls. They were both snuggled on mom's bed, next to each other. So cute! Neither woke up when I walked in, so I took care of their food and changed out their litter box. I woke miss Sadi up for her medicine. She was a good girl, as always! She didn't really have any discharge from her nose today to clean up. So, I guess the medicine is doing its job. I took her to the living room after we were done. She wandered around and kept moving away from me when I tried to brush her. She just didn't want the attention today. I would move by her, then she would go sit just out of my reach again. I took her back in by Stormy and tried to see if she wanted to eat. She snacked a little. Stormy didn't even wake up. I pet her real quick, just to say hi. She gave me a sassy look for waking her up! Haha!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I came in and went to deliver mail to mom quick. I took care of the kitties' things when I returned. I saw Kimmie was lounging on the back of the couch, watching me. She kept hopping from spot to spot. Jerrie was sitting on the floor in the living area as well. When I finished, I grabbed his brush and headed to their room. Jerrie came running after me, ready for his brushing session! He purred away and laid on the floor next to me. He was happy to have his chin scratched. Sometimes, he would itch it on the brush himself. Kimmie later joined us, and climbed to the top of her tower. I went to brush her a little too. I don't think Jerrie was done with me! He raced up there and tried to jump up on the top with her. Someone was jealous I think. I continued to pet him, so then he curled up on the middle tier instead.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo was sitting by the door, waiting for me. Stuffy was sitting between the kitchen and living area. Oreo tagged along in the kitchen to wait for his food. Stuffy followed me to the living room and laid on the floor. Oreo came running in from the entryway. He must have been checking out my shoes. He came and rolled around on the floor next to me. The boys both purred away, while they got their back and chin scratches. They sat with me a long time again. Stuffy was the first to wander off today. He had to go eat while he could! Haha. Oreo sat up and stared out the window at something for awhile. I couldn't quite tell where he was looking. He got up later and sat by the front door again to see me off. Such a sweet boy!
