Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out when I arrived. He was busy prancing around in circles. Butler took a minute before he was ready to come out to see us. He got his spray on. After that, the boys messed around with each other for a couple minutes, before going to go sunbathe. The rain had stopped this morning, so it was sunny enough out for their visit. The boys wandered in on their own when they were ready to cool down. Butler tried to be a little stinker again when it was time for him to go back to his bed, but I tried to ignore it today. So, he did end up going in on his own after a little bit.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning all was quiet when I walked in. It had just let up raining. I let Sadie out and put her out front, while I went to get Cole. He and I went out back to try to get him to do his business. I set him out in the grass a couple times, but he didn't have to go. When Sadie had enough time outside, I went to let her in. She was just relaxing on the patio. She sure didn't want to go back into the kitchen! I caught on to her plan right away though, so she didn't get far. Zoie made sure to gather as many toys as she could, before she was ready for her turn outside. Later today I let them all out back. It hadn't rained any more and the ground was dry again. Sadie went out to the yard and laid flat on her side to sunbathe. Cole did the same in a sunny spot on the patio. Zoie was busy exploring and wandering about. Sadie later came to sit by me and give me some kisses. When it was time to go in, Zoie just didn't want to! Haha. She was sitting at the far end of the yard, just staring at me. I called and called. It took me going in to grab some toys before she would come back in. Little goober! Cole got his medicine before I left. This evening, everyone went to spend some time out back again. We saw some dark clouds rolling in, so we tried to spend as much time out there as we could. They all did their business and wandered around. Luckily, we didn't see any rain. This time Zoie came in for me, after she made sure to collect all her toys to bring them back inside.

Chica & Paco

Today the kitties hopped down off the couch and came from the bedroom to see me. Paco started meowing at me right away, then was busy weaving around my legs. Chica hopped up on the counter for some chin scratches. I cleaned their boxes, then got them their little snack. They happily ate that! After they finished, we sat in the living room to play. I love their new kicker toy! Very cute. Paco swatted at that a little, but he lost interest when I got a feather toy out for Chica. They zoomed around after that for awhile. Paco would love on me whenever Chica was taking her turn with the toy. Miss Chica came out on the patio to help me water the outside plants today too! Paco is such a little wiggle worm, that I can never seem to get a good pic of him. Haha.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out, then he walked me over to Butler's bed. I let him out and caught him for his medicine. The boys tried messing around with me a little inside, then they eventually wandered out. They lounged around on the patio awhile, until they heard a neighbor's door open. Both boys shot up and ran over to the fence. Butler stayed there and kept trying to look through the fence to see what was going on. Later, they went in to cool off. Today Butler did not want to go to his bed! He rolled over on his back and wouldn't budge. I had to lift him little by little over to his crate, since he kept squirming around when I'd try to pick him up. Once I got him to his door, he got up and went in. What a goober!

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I walked in and Ruby came bouncing and barking her way into the kitchen. When she saw me, she stopped, then proceeded to the back door. Rusty was busy finding his ball, then he joined us as well. Rusty went right out to go roll around in the grass. Ruby did part of her business, then tried to head back in. I got her to come back out with me, then she finished up. She did not want any part of the hot afternoon! She ran back inside and didn't come back out. Rusty was busy exploring, then he went to get his purple ball for some fetch.

Winston

This afternoon Winston did a big stretch while I opened his gate. He trotted over to the door to wait for me to leash him up. We headed outside and went for a nice walk. We tried to keep to as much shaded area as possible, so we could get a little longer walk in. That sun is hot! Winston told me when he was ready to go in. He just headed back home on his own. Haha. When we got in, he slid around, then got his harness off. He ran and grabbed his little nylabone, sprawled out next to me and worked on that, while I pet him. After a few minutes, he wanted to play. He kept sticking the bone in my hand, then pulling it away before I could grab on. Teasing me! He was a quick little boy today, too quick for me! Later, he got his green bone and had better success for a game of tug with that instead.

Eddie & Butler

This afternoon I let Eddie out and he ran right for his Kong toy. He was carrying that around and rrr'rrr- ing, while I let Butler out. Butler came out and got his medicine applied. The boys goofed around inside for a few minutes, then wandered out. They did some sunbathing for awhile today. After that, they went in to cool down and relax. Eddie had sprawled out on the tile, and Butler found a spot by the front door. When it was time, Butler was being silly today. He rolled over and didn't want to go. It didn't take long though, then he went in his bed like a good boy.

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon Rusty was already getting down from his chair when I walked in. I let Ruby out and they both ran for the back door. We headed outside for awhile. Today, Ruby did her business right away without me asking her to. She then found a cozy spot in the grass to sunbathe. Rusty joined her too. Soon, Ruby got hot and wandered in. Rusty stayed out for awhile longer. He actually got a couple throws in today! After just those few, he was done though. Too hot! He headed inside too, and they both lounged on the couch.

Winston

This afternoon I got Winston hooked up and we headed outside. We walked around a little bit, then he did his business. There was a little more of a breeze this afternoon, so we got a little longer walk in today than yesterday. By the time we got a bag to pick up, he had to go again! Guess he was stocking up. Haha! We headed back when he was ready, to go cool off. He did his silly thing again, scooting around on his front end on the floor. He makes me laugh! Once I got his harness off, Winston went racing and jumping around on the couches. He grabbed his blue ball when he settled, wanting to play. He would have it in his mouth and would bark at me, which made sound funny! Next, he grabbed his nylabone and wanted to play tug with that. I tried, but "Ouch"! Haha. We got a few throws in instead.

Oscar

Today Oscar was at the door waiting for me. When we walked towards the living room, he quickly picked up his little squirrel toy and started shaking it around. I guess he was ready to play! We did a short game of tug, until he was ready to go out. Once outside, Oscar found a nice sunny spot to relax. Yet another hot day out, it didn't take long for him to look for shade. He went and lounged in the landscaping for awhile. I got him some fresh water outside and he came running over to drink from the hose. When he was ready, we went in to cool off and play a bit. He sprawled out on his ottoman. After some coaxing with a couple different toys, he finally hopped down to play a bit. Before I left, he did his tricks for me. Such a good boy!
