Toby, Tyson & Morgan

This morning I found Toby snoozing on the bed. He was pretty sleepy still and didn't move even after I had come in and started petting him! Once he got up, we went for a really long walk this morning. It was nice and cool out yet, and very quiet. All we could hear was the rooster somewhere in the distance giving his morning call. Toby must have found a trail from something, because he suddenly got excited and his little sniffer was going a mile a minute! He was pooped when we got home, so we just sat on the couch and he got a tummy rub. This afternoon Toby was in his spot on top of the couch with Morgan. Toby and I went outside for awhile so he could go potty. He could hear the neighbors outside talking and he sure didn't like that! He barked for a little bit, but was soon distracted. It was pretty hot and humid out, so he wanted to go back inside. He still hadn't finished his supper from last night, and usually he does by now. So, I stood in the kitchen with him to give him some company, in case that might help. It worked and he ate all his food for me! Morgan took advantage of Toby being occupied and he hopped up on the counter for some attention. He picked up the sunglasses on the counter! Silly kitty. I looked around for Tyson this afternoon but couldn't find him, so he must have a good hiding spot!

Luke & Maycie

Tonight I said hi to Luke and Maycie as I was coming through the door. Maycie started to bark and Luke made one little deep sound. But, as soon as I had passed the corner, Luke had his ball in his mouth ready to play! They both were wagging their tails and ready to go outside. Maycie said hi to me for awhile. Luke and I got right to our game of fetch. I grabbed his red ball off the table out back and threw that for him. He was trying to fit both that and the tennis ball in his mouth! He figured out if he grabbed the tennis ball first, he could hang onto them both. Maycie chased with him several times, and eventually got the tennis ball for herself. I would throw the red ball for Luke and she would toss the tennis ball for herself and go running with him! Silly girl! As it was getting darker, it started to take Luke longer and longer to find it. The last time he just gave up and laid in the grass. He was pretty tired out! We went back inside and I got them some fresh water to cool down.

You can throw that one, or that one, or both at the same time! I'm ready!!!

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning Mia was watching out the window again. She rolled over as soon as I came in and pawed at me. I pet her for a little bit, then let her outside. She walked around to the other patio and laid out there while I got the Bear and Coco's food ready. After Coco finished eating what she felt like, I went in and spent some time with Bear. Mia and I went for a nice long walk this morning around the neighborhood. It's so funny to watch her dance around when I grab the leash! We avoided the sprinklers that were on in some people's yards. When we got home she curled up in the kitchen, then I rubbed her tummy while she laid by the couch. If I stopped, she would half sit up and paw at me until I started again. Such a cutie! This afternoon I let Mia hang out in the backyard while I spent some time with Coco and Bear. Coco was sleeping in her new spot in the closet. I woke her up to have some lunch and she ate about half of the food right away. Bear talked to me and loved up every second while I brushed and pet her! Coco was following me around the house and meowing at me. Mia was ready to come back inside after a little while since it was pretty hot out.  Tonight Mia was already standing at the door waiting for me, tail a-wagging! She started to dance around excitedly when I got inside and began to pet her. I was trying to head to the back door to let her out potty, but she was too happy getting pet that she wouldn't let me walk! I let her out back and spent some time with Bear and Coco. Bear perked up as soon as I walked in and started walking toward me. Coco came out too and had some supper before curling back up in her closet. Bear snuggled up with me while I pet and brushed her, and in return she gave me kisses. After a little bit I took Mia out for a nice long walk again. She was so happy! After I got her leash hooked up she raced to the door. She was pretty tired when we got home, and laid down on the floor while I gave her a good tummy rub. Mia eventually got up and walked into the other sitting room, so I followed her to see what she was up to. I guess she was ready for bed! She had curled up on one of the couches.

Toby, Tyson & Morgan

Toby barked as soon as he heard me shut my car door. He wasn't right there when I opened the door though. He was all crouched down on the couch, wiggling his little heiny! He came to say hi and then we went outside to play for a bit. When we came in he ran into the bedroom and curled up on the bed. Tyson was sleeping on the little pet bed in the corner. Morgan followed me in there and I pet him while I was talking to Toby. He hopped down and took over for Morgan! Toby and I played tug of war with a rope toy, then chased each other around the living room. Once he was tired, we sat on the couch and he got his tummy rubbed! Tonight when I got there Toby was excited to see me. Morgan came up to me right away while I was sitting on the ground to get some loving, then I sat on the couch to give some attention to Toby. We sat for a little bit before going for a long walk. It was a little cooler out, the sun had gone down, but still a little humid. When we got back he was pretty energetic yet and I chased him around the living room and he ran as fast as he could around the couches. So funny! He got tired out and spent a few minutes with me on the couch before I left for the night.

Mimi

This morning Mimi was sitting in her window, visiting with the neighbors who were outside talking. She was already at the door as I opened it. Mimi was very lovey today! She rubbed against me and I pet her as she walked back and forth. She hopped into the sink again while I scooped out her canned food. She had gotten out a purple feathery ball from her bowl since the last time I saw her. As I made my way into the living room, she quickly zoomed under the table and was ready to play! After awhile she decided to sit and watch the birds flying around outside. This evening Mimi wasn't sitting in her usual spot when I came to see her. I found her sleeping on mom's bed! After I said hi, she followed me out into the kitchen. She was happy to see me again and loved up all of her attention. She laid on her brown blanket in the living room, crouched down with her heiny in the air, ready to pounce! We played for a little while, then she sat and watched the birds outside again.

You can't see me, I blend in perfectly with this blanket!

Bear, Coco & Mia

Tonight Mia was sitting at the front door as I pulled up. She got excited and said hi to me for a little bit when I came in! I let her outside, but she just sat by the door. I got the kitties food ready and she was still sitting there, so I let her come back inside. Bear was making her way over to the food and started to meow at me. I pet her for a minute, then went back to see Mia. I grabbed her leash and she started dancing around so excitedly! Coco came out and meowed at us. I took Mia for a little walk. She had some soft stool tonight, so I will keep an eye on that. It didn't look like she ate much from this morning, so I'm sure she was just a little stressed. On our way back, some joggers passed by us and Mia decided to pick up the pace too! She curled up in the living room when we got home while I said hi to Coco and Bear for a little bit. I came back and sat with Mia and gave her a nice tummy rub before I left. She followed me to the door and watched out the window as I left. I don't think she or Bear wanted me to go!

Mimi

This morning Mimi was sitting in her window, watching the people outside. I met a couple folks that said they were playing with her through the window! When I got inside, she was already attached to my leg. She followed me around and rubbed up against me, purring away. After I took care of her things, we went and sat in the living room. We played catch with her blue plastic ring for a little bit. Then she curled up under the table and played. She swatted at my fingers playfully and poked her head out to watch me. This evening Mimi was meowing and giving me kisses on my leg as I walked in. I pet her for awhile and then got her food ready. She took a few minutes to eat, then we had some fun! She ended up under the table again, sticking her little paws out at me!

Dakota & Benny

It was garbage day today, so Kota and Benny had all kinds of fun smells to stop and check out on our walk! As we passed by some fences, Benny would walk in the little sliver of shade that was just wide enough to cover him. Kota was hunting birds today! She scooped up a few fried worms off the sidewalk too! Yummy! lol Once we got home, Benny laid down right as we got in the door until I got their leashes off. They both went out in the backyard for a few minutes. Benny just wanted to go grab a ball to play with! Kota laid in her kennel and fished out ice cubes that I put in her bowl for her. They both spent some time rolling around by me and getting their tummies rubbed!

Mimi

Tonight when I came, I checked the mail right away. As I was walking to the door, I noticed Mimi was sitting in the window watching me! As soon as I got inside, she was saying hi to me and giving me kisses. I refilled all her dishes and scooped her litter right away before we took time to play. While I was filling her dishes she followed me all around and even hopped up in the sink! I brought out her twisties and carton ring to play with. She was more interested in finding more out about me! I also tossed one of her tinfoil balls to her and she swatted at it several times. I grabbed some of her other things and tried to get her to play with me. She was just so intrigued by me that she just had no interest! Maybe tomorrow we can get to know each other more!

Dakota & Benny

Today Benny did his laps and also did his little dance for me! Sometimes while I'm going to let Kota out of her kennel, Benny likes to stand on his back feet and do a little dance for me. So cute! I forgot to bring a plastic bag along with me today, just in case one of them decides to do their business. We took a nice walk today, a little longer than normal. They were both so excited for our walk! While we were on our way, a yellow plastic bag filled with air was floating around past us like a balloon. Kota and Benny were both curious and started chasing after it right away! As soon as Benny got to it, he grabbed it and started shaking it around with his head. He held onto it long enough for me to get it from him, and luckily we were able to use it later! Kota was squatting a lot again to pee on our walk today... not sure if you guys narrowed it down to her marking yet or not. Once we got home, Kota laid right in her kennel and Benny hung out in the kitchen. Kota went out in the backyard to go potty quick and I grabbed a ball for Benny.
