Rusty & Ruby

It was a bit cool and windy outside this morning. I let miss Ruby out and she raced outside. I called for Rusty, who was napping in his chair. He came out back with me and they both did their business. The pups came back inside and were ready for their breakfast. I got them working on that, while I fed Salem and the turtles. Ruby made sure to check Rusty's bowl when he was finished. Nope! No leftovers for her. Haha. We went back outside for a little while, but neither wanted to stay out long. Too chilly i guess! Both pups went to sit in the front room. Miss Ruby rolled around in her bed and got some belly rubs! This afternoon, the sun was peeking out a little bit. Rusty and Ruby both came outside to play for awhile. Ruby took a little convincing to do her business. She kept trying to run by me. Sneaky! But, eventually she did. Rusty was busy sniffing around the yard. This evening, Ruby came running outside when she heard me. I fed the big kids, then went inside. Ruby was quick to line up at her bowl, ready to eat! The pups worked on their dinner. While they were busy, I checked water dishes and said hi to Salem. After dinner, the pups and I went out back. Rusty got his ball for me and we played a little game. When it was time, we went in and the pups got a bedtime snack.

Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Madison & Max

This morning I came in and everyone was dancing around excitedly. I let the little ones out and they raced to the door. The big girls were ready to go out too! Kylie was busy singing me a song when we got out there. Haha. There were people working on the roof next door, so that had all the pups racing to that side to check out the funny sounds. Reese was being all tough and barking at them! After everyone went potty, we came inside and I got them all situated for breakfast. Kylie went and dumped her bowl over when she was being silly, so I helped her pick that up. After that, everyone ate well. They all made their way back outside for awhile to explore and play a bit.

Kaya, Kylie, Reese, Max & Madison

Tonight I could hear the girls "roo-roo-ing" in their room when I came in. I let the little ones out, then the big kids, and we all headed outside. I carried shy little Max out with me. Kylie was busy zooming and leaping around the yard. Haha! Kaya came to say hi, then she joined the others and they all took a quick potty break. I got everyone back inside, then I got their dinners ready. Madison was first to finish, but she waited until the others were done too. I cleaned up their area and got the pups all some fresh water. Everyone went back out to play awhile before bedtime. It was so nice out tonight! Kylie kept running over to the gate to watch people out walking the neighborhood. The three little ones were all exploring. Kaya and Kylie took turns getting pets, then they'd have some fun wrestling around with each other. When it was time, I got everyone back into their spots for bed.

Waldo, Otis & Mabel

When I walked in the door, Waldo appeared in the laundry room to see who was home! He waited for a quick pet, then showed me where I needed to feed him. Haha! After I read over the notes quick, I spotted Otis sitting in the kitchen entryway out of the corner of my eye. He came right over to say hi too! I got the boys working on their food, then I went to the bedroom to see if Mabel was hanging out there. Sure enough! She was lounging on the bed. She let me walk up pretty close before she hopped down and took cover under the bed. Not bad for our first day though! I went and scooped the kitty box next. When I finished, I grabbed one of the kitty toys to play with them a bit. Suddenly, Mabel came running in! She kept her distance of course, but I think she really wanted to play. That, or she was just very curious. All three kitties sat in the living room with me and watched the toy. Otis was the only one to actually chase after it. He's a cutie!

Rusty & Ruby

This afternoon I came in and Ruby was the first to greet me. I could hear Rusty scurrying around, looking for his ball. The pups both came outside with me right away. Rusty sprawled out on his belly in the grass, then rolled around. Ruby sat in the sunshine for a bit, then finally did her business. I saw the baby geese were out strolling around with their parents. After awhile, Rusty came over and brought his ball to me. Poor guy... I couldn't play like we usually do today. I dislocated some ribs yesterday, so throwing the ball as far as I usually do was out of the question. I was able to toss it for him though. I think he ended up doing more running that way! Haha. He would run out to his usual spot, then realized the ball was way behind him and would race to go scoop it up. He'll have to bear with me just a couple more days. :) Ruby had wandered in by now, and Rusty was busy exploring the yard. I went in quick to go check on Salem and she got a few quick pets before I left. This evening, the big kids were all out waiting for me. I fed them quick, then went to feed the pups. They both finished off their dinner for me. Then, we headed out back for awhile. Rusty got a little game of fetch in while Ruby sat by me for some pets. The ducks and geese were out tonight, so I tossed them a little food too. When it was time, I got the pups all tucked in for the night.

Bella & Zoe

This afternoon I came in and the girls were doing their little happy dance in the kitchen! I read notes quick, grabbed them each a rawhide and we made our way out back. It was beautiful out today! The girls came and said their hellos and got some pets, then they each curled up in the grass to work on their snack. After a little while, miss Bella came to sit by me for some heiny scratches. Zoe decided that Bella's bone looked better, so she went and took that one over. She was acting all tough any time Bella tried to come back to it. Haha. The girls got some extra time this afternoon to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. When it was time to go in, I got them fresh water and a treat before I left. This evening, I noticed the girls had eaten well throughout the day. Bella had her bowl empty and Zoe only had a few kibbles left. The girls and I headed outside right away. It was still so nice out! There were lots of ducks flying around tonight. Miss Bella just sat and watched, while Zoe tried running along the fence to "chase" after them. She cracks me up! Later, the girls worked on their leftover rawhides from earlier until it was time to head in. I got them their dinner and a bedtime snack.

Major

This morning I came in and saw Major standing by the doorway. He heard me and wandered inside on his own. He came and stood behind me, waiting patiently for his breakfast! I got Major working on that, then he got his injection. Such a good boy! He polished off his bowl, so I cleaned that up and got him some fresh water. After we were done, Major came and stood by me for some pets. Eventually, he wandered back outside to do his thing.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo came running down the stairs when I came inside. He met me in the kitchen and was rubbing up against my legs and the cabinet doors. I had to wait for him to move so I could close their food door. Haha! He went to work while I took care of their things quick. Oreo was sitting by the living room waiting for me when I was done. He came trotting along with me to our spot, and almost got squished! He went walking under me as I was sitting on the floor. Haha. Oreo was happy for some attention time today. He purred away as he got his pets and rubbed his face on me. Later, I went to check what Stuffy was up to. He was just lounging on his ottoman upstairs.

Sadi & Noell

This morning I came in and Noell was in the kitchen, waiting for me. She brushed up against the cabinets while I grabbed Sadi's medicine. I saw Noell had made a mess trying to bury their food again. Silly lady! Sadi was sitting by the dishes, so I picked her up and gave her medicine quick. Noell raced down the hall as I was coming to get their breakfast ready. Sadi ate well for me and Noell came to snack a little. She was in quite the mood today! First, she would come up behind me and bite on my elbow or my knee. Later, as Sadi was enjoying her pets, Noell was busy playing with my sweatshirt strings. Then, she was actually licking my sweatshirt. Haha! Sadi worked on some more food before I left, and Noell got a little laser time.

Sadi & Noell

This morning I didn't see Noell at her post as I pulled up. I went inside and she met me in the kitchen. She was already purring and rubbing up against the cabinets. I gave her a few pets before we made our way to see Sadi. She was actually sleeping in her bed this morning. I woke her up and gave her her morning medicine. Noell decided she was going to nibble on some dry food while we were busy. She helped me go get their breakfast, then I cleaned up their area quick. Sadi ate well and enjoyed some attention when she was done. Noell was waiting in the hall for me to come play. We got a little time in with her laser light. This evening, Noell came to say hi. I noticed her treat mouse was emptied out since this morning, so I filled that up for her. She hopped up on the table to watch. Haha. Sadi was up when I got in their room. Her nose looked very good, so I got her working on her food. I went to go get Noell some more dinner. She was hanging out on the couch, peering through the pictures on the wall to supervise. Haha! Later, we got another short game in with her red dot.
