Jiffy & Toby

Jiffy and Toby are doing just fine today. This morning when I came in they were pretty sleepy yet. They both got up and did a big stretch before they started jumping up and down by the gate. Jiffy does his little howl at me all the time now. He usually does it when I first get there before I take them outside. And now he howls after he's done eating and must be ready to play! Toby came right back in this morning. Must have been too chilly out there for him. Tonight when I let them out he stayed out again for quite awhile. I guess it gives Jiffy just enough time to finish eating before it's Toby's turn. I was wearing gloves tonight when I came in and Jiffy seemed pretty intriqued by them. He kept trying to stick his nose in my pocket to check them out.

Sophie & Roxy

The fish were all out when I came in today, must be hungry! I got the food started to thaw out and then let the girls in. They were very excited to come inside! They were jumping and rolling all over the place. I sat down on the floor with them and got attacked with puppy kisses! Sophie started rolling over on her back and snuggling up next to me. I had them sit and gave them both a biscuit while I filled the fish tank. Sophie came over to see what I was doing. I sat and snuggled and played with them for awhile. They are so sweet! I filled up their food and water bowls before I left. That self-waterer was completely frozen, but the heated bowl was just fine. It's a good thing you got that, since we will be getting some very chilly temps this next week!

Taz

Taz and I went on the long route for our walk this morning. There was a little bit more snow today that fell overnight. When we were leaving I noticed he was looking at something while we walked down the driveway. I looked too and saw a rabbit running through the yards! Taz walked very good for me again today and sat for me at all his spots. As we were coming back we saw the neighbor and his dog outside. When we got back I fed him and filled his water bowl. It had almost completely froze so I had to break it out of the bowl first. I made him sit by his house before I left to give him his chewie. He was pretty sneaky and crept forward once when I turned my head quick to make sure I wasn't going to trip and fall, since I was walking backwards! Other than that, he stayed for me until I told him it was ok.

Jiffy & Toby

The boys were jumping up and down again this morning when I came in. I took them both out to go potty. The water I gave them last night was gone, so I filled their bowl up again. Toby drank almost all of it right away and Jiffy drank all of what was left! I see what you meant in your email about how much Jiffy likes his friend! lol I let them both go potty again before I left since they drank so much. This evening I took them out again and Toby stayed out longer and explored in the yard for awhile. I fed Jiffy right away while Toby was out. When he was done, he was in a very playful mood and we played with one of his toys for a minute. Then Jiffy laid down and rolled over for me and got a tummy rub! Toby ate right after he came inside.

Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fudge & Fluffy

Well we're supposed to get more snow tonight.... they're saying 1-2 inches in Tulsa and up to 3 north of Tulsa. You aren't going to like the bitter cold! I walked a dog this morning when it was 16 degrees with a windchill of 4! Brrr! Everyone will be happy to see you tomorrow. :) Quartz came running when I called to get his treats with Boo. I didn't see the other two today, I even tried looking for them in their usual spots. The girls were all excited when they came inside. Suzzie gave me her cute smiles. I don't think Quartz left the bed most of the time i was there today. Boo followed me around and pawed at me while I was busy cleaning the litter pans. I told them all that mom and dad will be home soon!

We're waiting for you to come home!!

Jiffy & Toby

Jiffy and Toby were both bouncing up and down when I turned the light on in the kitchen! Jiffy started doing his little husky howl at me. I love when they do that! I put his collar on and we all went outside so they could go potty. They both went and Toby stayed out a little longer, exploring the yard. When we got in Jiffy started licking my pants and Toby was itching his poor little head on me. I gave them a little more water and fed them, and they both ate before I left.

A lot of snow melted again today, but I think there will still be some left when you get home. Boo was very talkative again today. He and Quartz both came for their treats before I let the girls in. Fudge was sitting on the bed in the spare room, so I went and pet her for awhile again! Boo came up on the bed to get some attention too. One time I went in the bedroom and Quartz was laying on the bed. Then he started rolling around and scootching himself closer to me! Suzzie and Heiny started playing around in the kitchen after they were done eating. Heiny was cleaning Suzzie's head and then they would both start pawing at each other and snuggling. They were ready to go back outside a little early today. They both got up and went to the door when I came back in the kitchen after feeding Boo. I told everyone that mom and dad will be home in a couple days!

The snow is finally starting to melt in the driveway! Fudge and Fluffy were both perched up on top of the couch today. Fluffy didn't move the whole time and was still sleeping there when I left. Boo came for his treats and I called for Quartz, then he came running down the hallway. I let the girls in right away. Heiny and Boo were following me around today as I was cleaning litter boxes and sweeping. Suzzie doesn't like when I sweep the floor and always goes to the other side of the room. Boo hopped up on the dryer by me so I brushed him for a little bit before I filled up the cat food container. Quartz was all curled up on the bed again when I went to give Boo his food and Fudge came walking out of the bathroom.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Toby heard me coming to the door and started barking. Tyson was sitting in the entryway behind the couch and Toby kept running back and forth between the two of us. I grabbed his leash and jacket and we went for a little walk right away. We didn't go for too long, because the wind was bitterly cold. Toby walks really well! As we got closer to the house again I think he was ready to go in too, and started pulling. Both the kitties tried to come by me for some attention, but Toby wanted it all! We played tug of war with his rope for a little while, but we mostly played with his little orange kitty ball. I had him running all over the place getting it! He would bring the ball back and climb in my lap. One time I started scratching his back, and he didn't want me to stop the whole rest of the time I was there! I had his leg going like crazy and he was squirming around and had funny looks on his face. Before I left I had him go potty outside and he did both and came running back inside.

I saw there were deer tracks all down your driveway and in the yard today! Boo was very talkative the whole time I was there this afternoon! Fluffy was snuggled up on her blankie on the couch. Boo and Quartz both got their treats, then I went to go turn the faucet on and saw Chocolate sitting on the bed. I walked slowly up next to the bed, and she didn't leave. I took your advice about petting/massaging her a little rough and... she loved it! I pet her for such a long time and she kept coming back for more! She was rubbing up against me and purring the whole time. I eventually had to stop since the boys were patiently waiting at the sink and I had to let the girls in! Boo was making himself comfortable on my lap. I was petting Heiny and Suzzie at one point and knew he wasn't sitting on my lap anymore. I sat up and felt a little paw touch my cheek! He was sitting on the table... naughty. I put him back down on my lap. He was so talkative and craving the attention today.

She kept sticking her rear in the air and rubbing her head on the pillows while I pet her! So funny!
