Murdy & Charlie

Today I spotted Murdy in the hall when I walked up to the door. I came in and the boys were busy hopping up on counters to say hi to me. Charlie helped me fill their dishes and take care of their box. When I was finished, I stopped to give Murdy some pets. He was sitting on the top of the kitchen island. He did a great big stretch when I did that. They followed me to the living room to visit. Murdy hung off in the distance and Charlie was right next to me, rolling around and being silly. We played a little with their toys, then they spent some time chasing each other around as well. Murdy surprised me a few times by coming from another room to pounce on the feather toy! He was in a playful mood today I guess. Haha!

Susie & Frank Fritz

This morning I came in and the pups both came running to see me. I saw that they had been good overnight. Yay! We went outside for awhile so they could get their potty breaks in. Frank was busy checking things out in the yard and returned with a very muddy nose! Haha. They explored and got a little play time in, then we went back inside. It was going to be a very hot day today, so I thought it'd be best that they stay in the cool house. This evening, I returned. The pups had been good inside again. I let them out back, then got their dinners ready. They lined up inside their doggy houses, ready to eat. Susie and Frank will get to spend the evening outside tonight. I filled their bowl with fresh cool water and a bunch of ice cubes. I'll be back again in the morning. Another very hot day tomorrow.

Cate, Bella & Mio

This morning I got the hoses running to water the grass. I went in to see Cate and take her out for her potty break. We tried the leash again, but she just stuck close to me and watched me. Haha. We stayed out for awhile, then headed inside. I got them all some fresh water and fed Bella and Mio. Cate got to play in her room while I watered the other plants. Bella made sure to steer clear of the water, but was wandering around on top of the fence. When it was time, I took Cate out again once more then put her back in her bed.

Cate, Bella & Mio

This morning Bella came to walk me to the front door. Cate and I went out back for awhile to see if she'd do her business. Bella was roaming on the top of the fences. Cate went inside to play while I took care of Mio and Bella, then watered all the plants. Bella helped me in the front yard. When I returned, I saw Cate was having a blast with her toys. Haha! This evening, Bella appeared from under the car to say hi. I gave her a few pets on the way in. Cate was sleeping, but popped right up when she heard me. I took her out back quick for her first potty break. She didn't have to go, so back in we went and got her dinner ready. While she ate, I got Mio some fresh food, water and bedding. Mio got a little snuggle time next. I checked Bella ' s food and got her some fresh cool water as well. Cate and I went back out again when she finished eating. I took her out to the grass on the lead after awhile since she wouldn't venture out on her own. She actually went potty for me then. Yay!

Murdy & Charlie

Today I came in and the boys seemed a little startled at first. Haha. They quickly calmed down and were talking to me. Murdy hopped up on the table and waited, while Charlie was at my feet, helping me fill their dishes. I cleaned their boxes next. The boys were both lounging on the dining table when I was done. Charlie was rolling around and sticking his paws out for me, being silly! I got a toy out and he came to play a bit. He decided to sit on my shoulder awhile and snuggle too. He's so silly! Murdy waited for the perfect opportunity, then came racing in to pounce on the kitty toy! Haha. After a little while, the boys were being spunky and wrestling around with each other.

Susie & Frank Fritz

This evening I came in and read mom's note quick. I opened the door and saw Susie lounging on the patio in front of the fan. Frank came running up from a shady spot on the patio by the patio set. They came in tonight while I got their dinner ready for them. We headed back out and they ate quick. Both pups sat by me for some attention when they were done. I decided to bring them in for the rest of the day, since they both were panting pretty good. They were happy to come into the cool house. Susie got comfy and Frank followed me around while I Frank-proofed the house. Hopefully I got everything that he may have thought to get into. We will see in the morning.  :) Before I left, they each got a rawhide snack.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening I walked in and saw Oreo racing down the stairs out of the corner of my eye. He was already waiting for me in the kitchen. Either he was happy to see me, or he was hungry.... or maybe a little of both. :) Haha! He got right to work on a fresh portion of kitty food. I peeked in the bedroom quick for Stuffs, but he wasn't in there tonight. I cleaned their box, then saw Oreo was waiting for me by the entry of the living area. He and I went to our spot. Oreo snuggled up next to me for his pets. Shortly after, Stuffy made his way downstairs to visit me too. Both boys got their attention time. Oreo would tilt his head back to look at me to make sure I was still petting him. Haha! Oreo wandered off after awhile. Stuffy stayed a little longer, but then he ventured off too.

Cate, Bella & Mio

This morning Cate was sleeping soundly when I came in. She hopped right up when she heard me. We went outside right away. The rain had finally stopped today. Yay! We waited out there for awhile so she could do her business. But, she just stared at me and wanted back in. We went in and played a little. I let miss Bella back out to enjoy the outdoors. She helped me water the plants this morning too. This evening, Bella met me out front for a couple pets. Cate was sleeping soundly again. I woke her up to go out. She pranced around and wanted her pets. After we spent some time out back, we came in and got her dinner. She ate while I spent some time with Mio. I saw Bella out the door, lounging on the patio. Cate went out for another potty break, with no luck again.

Gracie, Molly, Emma & the kitties

This afternoon I opened the door and saw Gracie right away. She didn't waste a second and came racing over to say hi! Yay! I let her out quick for a potty break. She came in and I worked on letting the other girlies outside. It took a little coaxing from Emma and I, then Molly got up and went out. Later, I saw she was busy having fun rolling around in the grass! Back inside, Gracie found her fishy toy and we played with that. She's so silly.  I'd toss it for her and she'd run the other way looking for it, and even ran right by it once! Haha. She and I went out back for a little while when the other two came back in. This evening, Gracie was racing around the house excitedly. She went out for her first potty break, while I got dinner ready. Emma and Gracie both ate well. Miss Molly on the other hand, not so much. We tried. Later, it was time for the two older gals to to play out back. Gracie and I had fun with her toy again. She enjoyed lots of heiny scratches too. When Molly and Emma came back in, Gracie got a little time out back.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo came out to the kitchen to see me. He waited patiently for his snack. Stuffy was lounging on the bed  again. After I took care of their other things, I stopped in by him to visit. Stuffy enjoyed some pets. Eventually, Oreo wandered in to join us. So, the boys both got their attention time. Oreo sat at my feet and purred away while he got his chin scratches. Oreo ventured off again when he wanted to go snack some more. Stuffy didn't move an inch! Haha.
