Shadow

This morning Shadow met me at the door. He followed me around to the kitchen and walked circles around me. I got his breakfast ready and set it down for him. He just kind of looked at it, then walked away. I sat on the couch and he curled up on my lap for a bit. I guess he just wanted some love first! After a little while he hopped down to go nibble on his food. While he was busy, I checked his litter box quick. I came back and saw Shadow was playing in his box. I got Shadow a little bit of some yummy food, which he went to eat right away. Then, it was back to my lap to be pet. This evening Shadow was making his way to see me when I arrived. I got him some of his prescription food, as he was busy rubbing up against my legs. He turned his nose up at it again at first. We sat down and he purred as I pet him. Then, he went to eat a little for me. Later, I got him some of his other food and he ate some of that. He laid in the bathroom and waited, while I scooped his box. Shadow did some wandering around, then laid on his box by the door. We played with one of his cat toys a little, but he was more interested in lounging around and being pet! He worked on his dinner a little more before I left.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I didn't see Stormy laying in her usual spot. I figured she was probably out on the patio. I got their food ready, then went to find them. Sadi crawled out from under the kid's toy in the corner. But, I still didn't see Stormy. I took Sadi in to give her her medicine. She sounded really good today. I set her by the food, but she made her way to the living room instead. I followed, still keeping an eye out for Stormy. Finally, as I sat down, I heard the jingle of her collar. I wonder where she was! The girls both sat in front of me and enjoyed some attention. Stormy was lovey dovey today, walking circles around me and rubbing up against me as she went. She kept walking under the arm that was brushing Sadi, trying to get me to pet her with that hand too. Both their little motors were running. When it was time, I took Sadi back in to their room, and she worked on eating for me.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning was a goegous one for the pups to play outside. They all raced out of their beds to go check things out in the yard. Chico was trying to be my lap buddy again this morning. I tried to keep him down a little, so that he would work on his breakfast instead. A couple times, he would hear a dog bark and would leap off my lap, and go into a full run towards the fence. Bella would join him to investigate. Mr. Louie kept wandering around, stealing bites from their bowls when they weren't looking. I walked inside at one point and both Chico and Louie came running out from the bedroom. I bet Chico had a treat tucked away in his bed that he had to watch! Louie came over, stood up against my legs and talked to me for a bit. When it was time, all three raced to their beds and enjoyed a morning snack.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning the pups had fun running around a bit outside before breakfast. Bella was running laps back and forth along the fence. Chico was my little lap warmer this morning! He hopped up and stayed there most of the time. He even crawled up and gave me a little hug. So cute! That, of course, got miss Bella all jealous. She thought she should come up in my lap too! She thinks she's a little lap dog like the boys. Haha! Eventually, she went to work on her breakfast. Louie was inside eating his food and taking naps on his bed. This afternoon was nice and breezy outside. All three spent some time in the yard exploring. Chico laid on his bed in the corner of the yard and soaked up some sunshine. Later, he came and snuggled on my lap some more. Bella worked on finishing her leftovers from breakfast, and polished off her bowl. Louie came over by me for some attention. I started getting an itchy spot on his neck for him. Then, he rolled over for a belly scratch and was being all silly! This evening was still very nice out. We heard a cat screaming somewhere nearby. It must have been getting into a fight with something. Boy, that sure got the dogs all riled up! Chico was howling and they all were racing back and forth trying to figure out where it was coming from. They had fun roaming around until it was time for bed.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I got food ready for the girls and took it to their room. While I was in there, I went ahead and changed out their litter as well. Stormy was laying under the dining table the whole time. I picked her up to give her her medicine for today, then sent her on her way to eat. I went out to the patio and saw Sadi was out there relaxing. She was ready to see me! She got up right away and headed for the door to come in with me. She got cleaned up and took her medicine. She decided to go straight to the living room today. The girls both sat by me for some chin scratches and brushing. Stormy even helped and gave her sister some kisses on the head. Later, Stormy got that look in her eye, and got all spunky again! So, we played with her mouse toys a bit today. When she got bored with that, she sprawled out and groomed herself. Sadi walked around in circles so I would get each side of her. She stopped to rub her head on my knee awhile and gave me a little lick. She's such a sweetheart!

Bella, Louie & Chico

It was a nice morning for the pups to go outside and play. They all did some exploring, being sure to check everything out. The grass was wet, so Louie was having fun being a crazy man. He zoomed all over the place. He was going a little fast around a corner at one point and wiped out. Poor guy! I knew he was ok though, because he went right back to racing around. Once they settled a bit, they worked on eating some breakfast for me. Chico had brought out a rawhide chip that he had tucked away in his bed. Later, I saw Bella had stolen it and brought it outside to snack on. This afternoon was nice and warm out. Bella and Chico were busy wrestling around in the grass for awhile. Louie took that time to snack on Bella's leftovers from breakfast. This evening everyone zoomed outside, while I got their dinner ready. We could hear lots of people outside in the distance, so that kept Bella and Chico racing from one end of the yard to the other. Eventually, they all worked on eating. Louie curled up on his bed in the living room for awhile. When it was time for bed, they each got a snack.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I spotted Stormy in the living room while I got their food ready. She wandered to the kitchen to come say hi. I think she was happy I didn't have to give her any meds today! She followed me to go eat, while I got Sadi out from under the bed. Sadi got her meds, then she got to join Stormy for a little breakfast. They ate a bit, then came to see me in the living room. Stormy was being silly again today, in such a playful mood. I grabbed her yellow mouse toy and she rolled around and swatted at that for a bit. Sadi was just happy getting her pets.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This afternoon I let each of the pups out to go potty. Chico sat in his bed for a moment and I realized why. He was wearing his blanket like a poncho! There was a hole big enough for him to get his head through. I couldn't resist getting a pic! He got out on his own and raced for the backyard. It was gorgeous out this afternoon. Bella was racing along the fence, checking things out. Chico would chase after her, in between chillin' in my lap. They both took breaks to lounge in the grass and soak up some sun. Chico did an army crawl towards Bella, then she playfully pawed at him, which got them started chasing again! Louie was busy wandering around from one end of the yard to the other, exploring. When it was time, they all lined up in their beds for their peanut butter snacks. This evening Chico was wearing his blankie again, so I went ahead and changed it out. They actually all did very well about focusing on eating their dinners for me tonight. They must be getting used to me. Old news... haha! Bella would race off into the darkness to investigate sounds she'd hear, then return for another bite to eat. The boys messed around in the house awhile.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I got the food ready for the girls, since no one came to say hi. I put the food in their room, then started looking for them. Stormy was just chillin on her chair by the window the whole time. I gave her a quick pet, then went to the patio. Sadi was up already, making her way towards me. We took care of her meds. Next, I picked up Stormy, since she still hadn't moved from her chair. I started brushing Sadi, then Stormy wandered over. She was a spunky, sassy girl today! She laid down next to me and was fascinated by some smell on my shorts. She started mouthing them, so I moved. Stormy freaked out and started rolling around, acting all crazy! You woulda thought I had some catnip in my pocket. Haha! I got a mouse for her to play with. She played with that... then with Sadi's tail! What a silly cat she was today. Sadi didn't care though, since she was busy getting her chin scratched. Before I left, I put Sadi back in their room for her to eat.

Noah, Henry & Harper

This afternoon I came in and Henry and Harper came racing to say hi. I fed everyone their lunch quick. Henry was last to start his, as usual, so I sent the other two outside. Friday was already meowing at me. Once Henry finished, we joined the boys outside. It was gorgeous out! Noah and Harper both were trying to get my attention. Henry was off exploring, and staring up into the tree at something. Friday sat at the door and watched us. When it was time, we headed in. I put Friday upstairs, then gave each of the pups a treat.
