Rusty, Ruby & the gang

Tonight Rusty came outside and gave me a 'puff', not quite a bark. He immediately knew who I was and his heiny started wiggling away! I went inside and Ruby was barking. As soon as I let her out, the two of them were excitedly running circles around me! We headed outside right away and I fed Chloe, Heyday & Justin. Their water bucket was good for the night. It looked like Chloe and Heyday had taken a dip in the water. As soon as they finished eating, Justin decided he wanted to go for a dip too. Rusty met me when I came back in their yard, dancing around with his red ball. We played a good game of fetch tonight. Ruby kept running up to me to snuggle up for a back scratch. Later, we headed in for the pups to eat, while I got them some fresh water. Ruby went right into her bed when it was time, and they each got a treat before I left.

Khloe & Bruiser

Today miss Khloe came running all the way to the gate to greet me! She was dancing around excitedly. Bruiser came out into the yard too to say hi. They raced me to the porch and sat there watching me. When they saw I was going to go inside, they quickly ran in. I let them out in the house since it was a little hot out today. They each got a yummy meaty bone to start with. They took them to the rug and sat with them for a minute, then gobbled them down. Bruiser went and sat on the bed again for awhile, and today Khloe joined him. She was being silly and started spinning in circles, chasing her tail! Then she'd crouch down and bark at me, "C'mon lets play!" She followed me into the living room for another snack. Bruiser came out and snuggled in the chair with me for awhile. He was busy smelling the other doggie scents on me! Khloe was just happy for her scratches. I noticed they hadn't eaten much since yesterday. Probably just miss mom and dad too much! I brought out their dish and sat on the floor with them, to try and give them some company. That still didn't work, so we made a game out of it! I made silly sounds and tossed a few kibbles here and there. Khloe just thought that was the coolest thing! She raced around and snatched them all up. She was ready to nibble some food on her own after I got her appetite going. Bruiser just sat with me and enjoyed his back rubs. I found some good itchy spots too, that had him turning his head sideways! They each got a couple more treats before I left. They both walked me outside to say goodbye.

Taz & Clyde

Today the boys started barking when they heard me at the door. As soon as I walked in, they stopped and gave me the "Oh it's just you!" look. They followed me to the laundry room to dig out a couple rawhides from the jar. We headed outside and they both sat nicely for their snacks. They each found a good spot to curl up and work on them. Afterwards, Clyde came over by me and laid down. I went and sat at the edge of the patio and the boys both came over for some attention. They took turns sniffing at all the other pet smells on me. When we finally headed back in, they gave me those sad puppy dog eyes. "Are we going for our walk now?" I told them we would go later tonight when it wasn't quite so toasty outside. This evening I took the boys outside quick for a potty break. We headed in and got their dinner. Clyde of course finished up first, and Tax made a pretty good dent in his. Then, I asked if they wanted to go. They started bouncing around and raced to the garage door. Clyde was crying with excitement and could barely contain himself! We took a long walk down to their pond tonight. Once we got back home I let them out potty once more before bedtime.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I watered the plants a little quick before I headed inside. Both kitties were sitting on their kitty tower. They both just looked at me and waited there while I took care of their things. Kimmie stayed up there the whole time! Jerrie came down to say hi and to get brushed a bit. He decided to take a break and sit in the window next. I was still petting him and giving him chin scratches. Eventually he climbed back up to his spot to relax some more. Whil I pet him on the middle tier, I scratched at the bottom of the top tier to play with Kimmie a bit. She hung her head over the side to look at me, then occasionally a paw would come over the edge to swat at me. She's so funny!

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy was in her usual spot. I went out to visit with her for a bit. She hopped down and stretched out in a line of sunlight coming through the patio. She meowed at me and I gave her a few scratches on top of her head. After I got their food ready, I changed their litter pan out today. Next, I went to look for Sadi. Today, she was sleeping under the top end of the bed. She was all curled up and comfy. I woke her up to do her meds. She was pretty stuffy, so I soaked a tissue to get some of the crusties off. She was a good girl as usual. She wandered out to the living room and got her attention time in. She was really into the chin scratches today. She leaned into my hand and was purring loudly. She made sure I got the top of her head too. Her eye was still a bit cloudy today, so I will stop by again later.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Kimmie came running out of the front room and gave me a purring meow. She went and sat on the back of the couch to wait for me. After I finished, she followed me to go find Jerrie. He was all curled up on the comfy bed today. I pet him there for a little bit, then headed back to their room. Jerrie followed and was happy to get his brush time. Miss Kimmie went and sat in her window behind the curtain. Jerrie had enough brushing for the day, so he went and wandered off. Kimmie and I played a little while she was "hiding". She playfully swatted at me from under the curtain. Eventually she was done playing too, and went to go get a bite to eat. Jerrie was in there too, snacking away.

Chloe & Bruiser

Today the pups heard me come through the gate, and I could hear them barking. They waited until I got to the porch to come see who was there. Chloe was of course wiggling with excitement! Bruiser barked at me for a second, then wandered over to get some attention with Chloe. We headed inside and I made sure they had plenty of food and fresh water. Then, I got them each a couple snacks! They were sure happy about that. Bruiser finished his, then went to go lay on the bed. He misses his papa already! Chloe was happy to have all the attention to herself. She and I went to sit on the patio for a little bit, since it was nice out. She made sure I never stopped petting her! She would nuzzle her nose under my hand to get all the love she could. Chloe was enjoying some chin scratches, like if she were a cat! She rubbed her face from one side to the other to make sure I hit all the good spots. Later we headed back in by Bruiser. He came and sat with me on the couch for a little bit. They each got a few more snacks before it was time to go. I gotta spoil them just a little! ;)

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy was curled up on her chair on the patio again. I went out to see her for a little bit. She hopped down and did her usual rolling around on the floor. She was quite lovey today! I sat on the floor and she walked a few circles around me, rubbing up against my back as she went. She even leaned her face into my hand for a little forehead scratch. A couple more chin scratches, then I headed back inside to get their food ready. I was bringing to food into their room and saw Sadi lounging on the floor by the window, soaking up some warm sunshine. I sat down with her and pet her a bit before we got started. Her eye was looking slightly cloudy again today, so I stopped by later this evening to apply more ointment. Sadi nibbled a bit, but she didn't come to see me. I walked back to see where she was, and found her sitting in the sunlight again! We sat there today for her chin scratches.

Sadi & Stormy

Stormy was sleeping out on her chair on the patio this morning. She had the right idea! It was such a nice day out. I said hi to her and she plopped down on the floor and rolled around a bit. Next, I got their food ready and got them some fresh water. No sign of Sadi yet, so I went on the hunt for her. She was all curled up under the foot of the bed again. This time she heard me coming and was already awake, just looking at me. She didn't feel like getting up quite yet, so I had to get her out. She was pretty stuffy this morning, but her eyes looked pretty good to me today. She was very patient with me while I got her cleaned up and medicated. She ate a little food afterwards, then came out into the living room to groom herself. Since it was so nice out, I brought her out on the patio with me. She wandered around and explored a little. Then, we sat and she enjoyed her chin rubs. She purred away! Stormy even came to join us for a bit. She rolled around, then got comfortable on her chair again. When it was time I brought Sadi back inside.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I saw Jerrie lounging on his favorite chair when I walked in. Kimmie popped her head around the corner from the bedroom hallway to see who was here. She followed me to the kitchen and hopped up on a chair next to me while I read the note. She waited on the back of the couch, while I cleaned their boxes and got fresh food and water. I gave her a few pets there, then went to see Jerrie. He was now sitting on the desk, waiting for me! He hopped down and laid on the floor so I could brush him. After awhile he got bored and climbed back into his cat tower to look out the window. I called for Kimmie, but she didn't come. So, I went looking for her, but couldn't seem to find her. I headed back in by Jerrie and noticed a bulge in the curtain. She must have snuck in there somehow without me seeing! I played with her for a little bit too.
