Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty and Lance both wandered into the kitchen to see me when I got there. I let Ruby out, then the pups and I headed outside. It was very nice out today. Ruby didn't stay out long, then she wandered back in. Rusty was busy exploring, so I went in to visit Lance a bit. He was already after my toes, just walking in, so I went to find his toy right away! I had him hopping and jumping around after that, while the pups relaxed on the couch. I took Rusty back outside later to play, but he was busy just exploring again, and wouldn't bring his ball over.

Pokey

This morning I found Pokey sleeping on the pillow on the girl's bed. He sat up and looked at me. I sat on the floor for a minute, then he came running over to see me. After we visited quick, he went outside for a bit. I checked to make sure the crab had some water while I waited. Once he came in, we sat in our chair and he snuggled in my lap. This afternoon it was very nice outside. We spent quite awhile out there. Pokey was busy exploring and wandering about the yard. He almost didn't want to go back in! This evening Pokey barked as I walked in. He was lounging on the back of the chair in the living area. He hopped down and followed me to the back door. It was starting to get a little chilly out, so he didn't spend too long doing his thing. When he was done, we visited for a bit. I made sure he had plenty of food and water for the rest of the night.

Eisley & Indy

This morning the pups met me at the door when I came in. They were excited to see me... or just excited for breakfast! Haha. Eisley kept looking up at where the food was, then back at me. The kiddos both ate all their food for me. Indy ran outside when he was finished, to go explore. It was much nicer out already. I got Eisley her cookie, then tossed one outside for him too. He wandered in shortly after that, crunching on the last little bite. This evening the Indy was right at the door to see me again. This time, Eisley was barking and standing over by the food. She knew what I was there to do. They licked their dishes clean, then came by me for a little attention. We could hear something like a dog barking outside. That sent both pups out to the back to check it out. When I walked outside to leave, I could tell what it was. It was an owl! Then, it flew right overhead. He was a big guy!

Jack & Tigger

Jack was meowing for me again when I arrived today. I let him out and got him a little food to start with. He worked on that, so I got him some fresh water and adjusted blinds and curtains. Since he was still eating, I went to see Tigger for a bit. She was hungry too! I got her some food to start on, while I scooped her box. She came and sniffed at me a little. After she got some fresh water, I went to see Jack. He was roaming around, but when he saw me he meowed loudly. He climbed up in my lap to be pet for awhile. I had to put him down again because he kept getting his claw stuck on my pants, and I didn't want him to get hurt. He didn't care, as long as I was still petting him! Eventually we headed back to his room and I got him some more food.

Sophie & Roxy

Today the girls were up and at the gate, watching for me. It was much nicer out! They raced inside to say hi. I filled their dishes, then we went to the living room. The girls each picked a side and hopped up next to me. They got a little attention quick, then went to go eat right away. Roxy sat on her chair for awhile afterwards, and Sophie was sprawled across my lap, swimming with her legs in the air. Haha! Roxy eventually moved to mom and dad's bed to relax. Later, I went to fill their bowl outside, then got the girls their snacks for the day.
