Maggie & Moe

The girls were very excited to see me tonight, almost couldn't make it to the back door to go outside. They were jumpin all over me. Once we got outside they were running around like crazy, I chased them around a little but they were all about chasing each other around. Then we palyed a little fetch with one of their rawhides, they would both run after it and even if Miss Maggie got there first she would step aside for Miss Moe to get it.  At one point Miss Moe was laying off to the side chewing on a rawhide and Maggie did an "army crawl" from like 15 feet away, pulling her back legs behind her all the way over to me, it was pretty funny.  They were both great, both went potty outside for me.  We went back in a couple minutes before I had to go, they were panting pretty good and seemed pretty thirsty. Inside Miss Maggie almost knocked me over while I was crouching down petting her when she tried to jump up into my lap, she just got so excited!  I left the living room light on for them before I left, they were both pretty calmed down.

Boston, Zuke, Zoey, Shadow, Macey & Dakota

This evening I brought in Zoey, Macey and Dakota then put everyone else outside for awhile. Zoey hung out in the living room and curled up in the chair while I got everyone's supper ready. After they finished eating, I spent some time with them inside until the others were ready to come in. Macey and Dakota have calmed way down for me since the day I met them! I let the others in for their supper. Boston was being a little silly and didn't feel like eating for me. He laid down in the kitchen while Zuke and Shadow ate. Once they were done, I finally got him to eat his food! Then he finished it in seconds, so I'm not sure what he was doing! We sat in the living room for awhile and they all got some attention. Zuke came over whenever he could, while the other two pushed each other around again!

Maggie & Moe

The girls were excited to go for a walk this morning! It was a gorgeous day so far, so we took a nice long walk. Not long after we started they both saw something under a car parked in a driveway. It was a bunny! They wanted to chase after it! Once they couldn't see it anymore, they settled down and continued on their walk. We took a nice shady route today. Miss Maggie found a nice spot and decided to plop down in the grass under a tree. I guess she decided she was done walking, because she wouldn't budge! After a little bit I got her up and she came along with us. We made our way home and they had some breakfast and cooled off in the a/c. This afternoon the girls went out and played in the backyard. Moe laid in the grass right away and started sunning herself! She kept rotating to get the different sides. Maggie found a rawhide and I watched her as she "buried" it! She does the same thing my dog does. She pawed at the ground for a second, then used her nose to push the rawhide down as far as she could. Then, she used her nose to try and push grass over it to cover it up! Moe walked over by it at one point and Maggie had to run over and make sure she didn't get it! Moe eventually moved under the porch to lay down while Maggie explored around the yard.

"I'm not moving an inch!"

Busy burying her bone...

Boston, Zuke, Zoey, Shadow, Macey, & Dakota

I let Boston, Zuke, Zoey, and Shadow out right away this morning while I fed Macey and Dakota. Macey was almost too excited to eat this morning! I had to keep Dakota away from her food until she decided she was hungry. After awhile I let them go out and brought the others in to feed them their breakfast. Shadow was the first one finished, so he came over by me to get his back scratched! I went into the living room and sat in the recliner when they were all done. Boston and Shadow were both nudging each other out of the way to get all my attention! Zuke was able to sneak in a few times to get pet too.

"Wanna be my friend?"

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.
