Boston, Zuke, Zoey, Shadow, Macey & Dakota

I let Macey, Dakota and Zoey inside when I got there tonight. I had them go to bed and gave them their treats. Macey and Dakota were excited and jumping up when they came in, but are getting much better already! I let the other three outside. Shadow went right out for me and wasn't trying to hide. After they all went potty and spent a little time out there, they all were sitting by the door ready to come inside. They came in and I gave them some attention. Boston seems to get jealous if I try to pet anyone but him! Zuke came up to me several times and I had to hold Boston off with one hand so I could pet Zuke too. Shadow is now my new best friend!! Boston was busy getting a drink of water and Shadow came over to me and smelled my hand again. I was sitting in a chair and he sat up against my legs. I started to pet him and got some of his itchy spots for him! He even tried jumping up into my lap but Boston sabotaged that! He kept coming back to me every chance he could. I put those three to bed and gave them their treats too, so everyone is all tucked in for the night.

Bear & Coco

Bear and Coco sleep so heavily! They both were sound asleep when I came in this afternoon and neither woke up even with me talking, until I pet them! Bear was in the bedroom so I pet her for a little while, then I went in by Coco. There was a good amount of food still left on the plate, so I brought it in to see if I could get Coco to eat any. I put some on my finger and she licked at it, then turned her nose up at it. I brought it in by Bear and she ate a bunch. I opened up one of the small cans of food and tried that with Coco. I no more than set the plate by her, and she started eating away! Later I went back in by Bear and brushed her for awhile. She has such a loud purr! Bear loved up every minute of it and even helped me. Tonight Bear perked up when I said her name as I walked in. I pet and brushed her for quite awhile. When I stopped to go visit with Coco, she gave me a look like, "Hey... where are you going? I wasn't finished!". Coco had just gotten finished eating a good amount of the food from earlier. She meowed at me a few times when I walked into the room. I said hi to her for awhile, then got a new can of food opened up. I brought the plate to her again, not expecting her to eat anything since she just got done. But she did! She must really like when it's fresh from the can!

Maggie & Moe

Maggie and Moe came zooming out of the bedroom when I came in this afternoon! We all went outside after I said hi. Miss Moe brought out a little rawhide that I tossed for them a few times. They played tug of war with each other over the rawhide! They ran around and chased each other, then came and relaxed in the shade. Maggie found the only shady spot out in the yard. She sat up against the fence for a few minutes, then came barreling back to chase around with Moe some more. We went in so they could cool down a bit, and Moe had some lunch in between jumping on my lap to give me kisses! This evening they both were right at the door when I came in. We went and played outside for awhile since it cooled down a bit from this afternoon. Maggie and Moe were dancing around me, each carrying a rawhide! They were running around the yard for awhile and I could hear them, but not see them most of the time! We went in when they had tired themselves out. After I gave them their treats, they both had some supper.

Boston, Zuke, Zoey, Shadow, Macey, Dakota

Everybody was excited when I came in today, but a little more calm than yesterday! I let Macey and Dakota inside and put the others out right away. Zoey didn't want to come inside for me. Shadow was being pretty timid at first, and didn't want to get too close to me. I had to go completely outside before he would attempt to go out! I gave Macey and Dakota their supper. Macey was a little too interested in what I was doing to eat at first. I let the others stay outside for awhile before I brought them in for their dinner. I spent some time with Macey and Dakota. They were very calm and didn't jump on me at all! haha! Zoey still didn't want to come in, so I fed her outside. She actually didn't eat though, until I came and stood out there with her. The other three took a little time to settle down and eat theirs. Shadow came up to me, sniffed at my hand and let me pet him for a second. So far, so good! After I put those three to bed, I gave them all their treats. I put Macey and Dakota back outside with Zoey. They got pretty excited and started jumping around while we were making our way to the door. Everyone ate their food and did very well!

Benny

Benny and I went for a walk today. He was very excited and bouncing around as we walked! He took advantage of being able to stop and smell everything, since he didn't have Kota pulling him along today! It didn't seem to be as humid outside this afternoon, so we were able to go a little further before he got tired out. When we got back we stayed inside so he could cool off in the air conditioning. He was too tired to go out and play fetch! He laid on the tile for a bit while I scratched his back for him. He rolled over a few times so I could get his tummy too! Benny gave me lots of kisses today!

Dakota & Benny

Kota, Benny and I went for our walk this afternoon. We went about the same distance as yesterday, before they started to get too warm. A bus drove past us and Benny tried to chase after it! He was even more excited when a second one went by! He got so excited that he ran right into me. We went out in the backyard for awhile when we got back. I threw Benny's blue ball for him a few times. Kota sprawled out by the water bowl that I brought out with us. Benny came to sit under the patio chair in between chasing after his ball. Later he laid out in the shade under the tree. I got Kota some ice cubes when we went inside. She pulled them all out of her water bowl and crunched on them while laying in her cage.

Capone

Capone was waiting for me at the door like usual today. He followed me to his food and crawled in the cupboard when I opened the door! There were two new spots on the floor today that I picked up while he ate his supper. I noticed he had diarrhea in his litter box today too. He hasn't been acting lethargic at all, but he must have something going on. He had it all stuck in his hair on his back side too, so I tried to clean him up as best I could. He sure wasn't happy with me!! I felt bad for him, but I had to do it. When I finished, he laid on the floor and cleaned himself for awhile. He forgave me pretty quickly though and let me pet him while he snuggled with his froggy.

Dakota & Benny

Kota was excited to go for a walk today and wouldn't stop woo-wooing until we got on our way. We took it at a slower pace today since it was already pretty hot out. They stopped in any shady spots on the way back to take a little break. At one stop, they scared all the birds out of the tree! They both looked up at them as they flew away. A truck drove by and had the beeping sound when it went in reverse. Kota and Benny spun right around and stared at the truck! Benny wanted to go get it. When we got back home they had a drink, then we went in the backyard for a little bit. They both ended up sitting together in a tiny little spot of shade!

Capone

Capone was extra snuggly today! After he ate he used his scratching post and got a couple treats. I brushed him for a long time and he rolled over so I could get his tummy too. He was just purring away! Once in awhile he'd reach out his arm to me and touch my arm. He snuggled with his little frog while I brushed him. Later he got up and went over by the couch. He looked under and behind it like something was there, but I couldn't see anything! I got the laser out to play with, and he made that squeaky meow that kitties do when they're watching birds! When he got tired of that, I pet him some more. He didn't seem to want me to go today and followed me to the door. He even gave me a kiss on my arm today!

Jerrie

Jerrie met me at the door this morning and started meowing at me. He followed me around as I took care of his things and waited for me. He was very talkative today! I watered the plants again today so that you won't have to worry about that when you get home. Jerrie was especially snuggly today. I told him it was our last visit together for awhile, but that his parents will be back home today! His little motor was running the whole time I was petting him. He just couldn't get enough attention! He will be so happy to see you!!
