Izzy & Toby

Today Izzy did her squeaky meow at me all the way down the hall. She waited by the kitchen for me to come say hi. She followed me around as I fed the fishies and took care of her things. Today I gave her a little brushing. She rolled around to make sure I got her belly and each side. She purred away! We played a little with her toys too. She chased after her mouse toy as I pulled it around for her. Mostly, she was just so happy to be pet and getting attention. Izzy followed me and waited by the door while I said hi to Toby and gave him his snack. She got her treats again before I left.

Flax & Booty

This morning I saw Booty sprinting across the yard to the garage as I pulled up. He went in there and waited for me. The meows started as soon as I opened the door! I got Flax and Booty their breakfast and some fresh water. I could hear Booty in the garage meowing for me when I went inside. Flax was in a deep sleep on his bed on the back porch. I walked over and pet him a bit once he woke up. He was quite comfortable there and he relaxed and looked out into the yard. Booty had followed me and was checking out the inflatable toys. He wanted to come in by me, but he wasn't quite brave enough. For good reason too! Flax saw him and slowly got up and tried to chase after him. Those old legs don't work quite as fast as I'm sure they used to! He gave up pretty quick and laid in the grass. This afternoon I came by to let Flax inside. It was a little toasty out again today. He was laying by the front door, so I had him follow me around back to go in. He plopped right down on his bed and enjoyed the cool air. This evening Flax heard me come in and he got up to go out. Booty was already meowing at me and chasing around after me. Flax did his business, then got right to work on his dinner. I left a trail of treats for him to work on later. Booty didn't want me to leave and followed me all the way to the car! Silly kitty.

Jackie & Meeko

This morning Jackie went out to go potty when I arrived. He came in and waited for me to feed Meeko. Next, I got Jackie ready and we went for our long morning walk, as usual. We had a stray dog following us around for a little while! Jackie really wanted to say hi, but I don't think that's what the other dog had in mind. Luckily, he kept his distance and eventually wandered off. We got to see quite a few people out on our stroll today. When we got home, I fed Jackie his breakfast and gave him time to eat. Once he finished like a good boy, we played a little game of tug. Meeko sat on the table again and kept throwing paws towards him. Maybe he is just jealous! Meeko was enjoying some pets while Jackie was eating, and now Jackie stole me back. Haha! This afternoon was pretty hot out again. I brought out Jackie's last ice treat. I Will have to make him some more. He seemed to like this last one the best! It was pretty big, so I put what he didn't finish back in the freezer for another time. After I put his snack away, Jackie had fun just rolling around in the grass and being silly! This evening it was kind of muggy out and people were already lighting stuff off, so we decided to skip the walk tonight. I let Jackie out to do his thing, then he and Meeko ate dinner. Meeko followed me up the stairs tonight to clean his box. Then, he raced me back down the stairs! Once Jackie licked his bowl clean, we headed outside. Since he was enjoying it so much this afternoon, I brought the remainder of his treat out for him. Every time fireworks popped, he'd stop to look in that direction. He came and sat by me until they finished, then went back to his treat.

Shelby, Baby & the kitties

This morning Shelby was up and ready to go out. Tiny was in the living room under the table, and came out to get pet. All three kitties went out with her this morning. I held the door open as they all went out single file. Baby was all stretched out, lounging in his cage. When I walked in and started to get him some food, then he hopped up and started doing his thing. haha! I went to sit outside with everyone for awhile. Shelby came trotting over for a little attention. Tiny wandered over too, and rubbed across the back of my legs. He enjoyed some chin scratches. Coco wandered off somewhere, and Bitty laid in the grass and kept a close eye on all the birds. This evening Bitty met me out front and came inside. Shelby went out while I fed Baby. I went out with her soon after. She came up for a few pets before doing her rolling around in the grass. I could hear Bitty inside, meowing to come back out. I let him out again and he lounged on the patio. Coco then sat by the door, wanting to go in. Silly kitties! When it was time I made sure all were inside again this evening, due to loud holiday festivities.
