Sammy, Molly, Gracie, Couper & Roly Poly

Today I was greeted by 5 pups happy to give me lots of kisses! They surrounded me by the door and were all excited to get some attention. I took a walk around the house and there were no accidents! So far, so good. Eventually we made our way outside to play. Everyone hung out by me for a few minutes before they each started to go off and find something to do. Roly Poly was busy exploring around the yard, keeping to herself. Next, Gracie went off to go potty and do some sniffing around too. Roly found a big ol' rawhide that she carried around to the perfect spot to gnaw on it. Sammy, Couper and Molly were each trying to get my undivided attention, hopping up and down at my legs! Couper and Molly decided to chase each other around for awhile after that. The rest watched, but soon joined in the chase! It was pretty hilarious! They chased in one big line, then broke off into a couple groups, zooming around and around. Later we went inside for supper. Everyone ate for me, but I did have to put the garlic on Molly's food. Couper was the last to finish, and she didn't like anyone else getting near her bowl! She didn't mind me messing around with her food/bowl though. Molly had moved to the couch and the rest of us waited in the kitchen for Couper. I sat on the floor and had Roly giving me big bear hugs, Sammy waiting for his heiny to be scratched and Gracie nudging my arm for her turn! After dinner, we all went back outside for more play time. With full bellies, everyone was pretty mellow now. Slowly one by one, they each were laying down taking naps! Sammy had made himself comfortable on the big chair by the house. I sat with him and soon had a puppy pile on my lap! Couper tried to come up too but there was no room. She curled up on the foot stool next to me and Molly snuggled up against my legs. Roly and Gracie had me pinned and were giving me lots of big wet kisses! We went back in and everyone got a yummy treat before I left.

Cali

This afternoon, Cali flopped over onto her back and started rolling around as soon as I opened the front door! She got a new flavor of yummy food today, so she got to start eating right away while I attended to her box. When we were finished we played with her shoe string for a little while. She wasn't as interested in that today. She very lazily would grab at it, maybe chew on it a couple times. She wouldn't chase after as much as she usually does! She was only wanting to snuggle today. I think someone misses daddy! She would make her way towards the hall or her food bowls and when I'd call her name, she flopped right over and started rolling around with paws outstretched towards me! What a silly girl!

Upside down kitty!

Dakota & Benny

Today Benny did his zoom zoom as usual while I let Kota out. It was nice and cool out today for our long walk. It was a pretty quiet, uneventful day for us. There was still some candy scattered on the sidewalk, but they didn't even seem to notice today. Kota was busy chasing and jumping up at butterflies. Benny was focused on listening intently to the new dog sounds we heard at one of the houses. Kota found all kinds of goodies hidden in the grass today. I don't know how she finds that stuff! I had to take away a piece of chicken and some sort of bone! When we got home I let them run around in the backyard a little while before I left.

Bunny, Joe Friday & Murdock

 This morning Friday was waiting at the top of the stairs for me again. He meowed a "good morning" at me while I pet him. I walked over to the car bed to see if Bunny was the lump under the blanket. She took off as soon as I peeked under it, into the corner by the kitty tree. I went over to her and she let me pet her for a long time. Friday came over for some lovin' too! Friday raced me down the stairs on my way to see Murdock. Today he came out and went right into the living room! He made his way to snuggle up with Friday in a little sun spot on the stairs. They rubbed heads together and Murdock gave Friday a tiny kiss on the forehead. They pretended like nothing happened when they saw I was watching! Later, Murdock was having a blast rolling around all over the floor.

Coco, Mia & Daisy

Tonight I went to go let Mia in right away, who was already waiting at the back door. She was very excited to see me! She danced around while I pet her. While I got the kitties' supper ready, I saw little Daisy come peeking around the corner to see who was home. She let me pet her and started to purr right away! I looked around for Coco to feed her supper and found her all curled up on the bed. Mia laid on the couch, but when she heard me coming down the hallway, she was ready for her walk! She walked over to the basket to show me where her leash was. She nudged at it, then looked back at me. So, we took a short walk tonight while the girls were eating supper. When we came back, Daisy was sitting in the entryway waiting for us. Mia went back outside for a little while, so I spent some time with the kitties. I sat with Coco to pet her for awhile, and she kept turning her face so I could get both sides. Daisy came up on the bed to see what we were up to. She got pet some more too before I went to let Mia back in. Mia got a couple treats before I left.

Cali

Cali was right at the door this afternoon as usual to greet me. She weaved herself back and forth between my legs as I made my way to the kitchen. Since she was craving attention so much I sat down with her right away. She was so snuggly again today! She rubbed up against my back and nudged my hands with her head. She let me pet her for awhile before it was time to play! She rolled around and grabbed at her string, kicking at it with her back legs. She took a little break to have some of her dinner before we played some more. She got tired of playing after awhile and wanted to be all snuggly again!

Bunny, Joe Friday & Murdock

This morning Joe Friday did a big stretch in his little kitty bed when I came to the top of the stairs. He let out a good morning meow, then laid back down. I could see a little lump in the blanket on top of the slide today. I peeked under the blanket and Bunny was all curled up in a little ball. She didn't appreciate me interrupting her nap, so I let her go back to bed. After cleaning out the litter pans I pet Friday for a bit. He followed me down the stairs on my way to see Murdock. Murdock popped out from under the bed just far enough for a little chin scratch, then he went back to bed too. A bunch of little sleepy heads today I guess! Friday didn't complain about getting all my attention this morning. He was purring away!

Cali

Cali met me at the door this afternoon and was already rubbing up against my legs as I made my way into the kitchen! I got her food out to warm up while I cleaned her litter box. She was waiting for me to finish! I sat on the floor with her to play with her shoe string. She came right up to me and crawled in my lap for awhile. When we were playing, we heard a big boom from outside. It scared Cali and every little noise she heard after that, she perked her ears up and listened intently. After we played around some more, she decided to nibble her yummy canned food.

Dakota & Benny

Today Benny was zooming in circles as usual, waiting to go for his walk! We headed on our way and took a nice long one this afternoon. I had to keep an eye out on the ground ahead of us. There were lots of little candy treats on the ground that they wanted to pick up and eat! We passed one house that still had their big blow up Halloween decorations going. Kota and Benny had to stop and check that out! Benny sure didn't like it... When we got home Kota had a little bit of lunch. Tonight they were both excited to get outside. I let them play out in the backyard for awhile. Kota was zooming around and even tackling Benny every now and again! They were rolling and goofing around together. Benny and I were playing fetch with his little basketball while Kota was "woo-wooing" at me! She hopped up on the patio table to give me some kisses. After awhile Kota was ready to head in for some supper. Benny kept bringing me his ball to roll around for him. We raced around the living room a little and then they went back outside to run some more. There were some kids playing a game out in the field back there, so Benny and thw neighbor dogs got a little excited!

Checking out the Halloween lawn decorations.

Bunny, Joe Friday & Murdock

This morning Joe Friday was waiting for me at the top of the stairs, rubbing up against the wall. Little Bunny was sitting under the slide today. Friday followed me around all over and was very talkative! I went to see Murdock, who quickly came out from under the bed for some chin scratching. Friday came in shortly afterwards, meowing away. He was so lovey dovey today! We went in the living room so he could lounge in the sunlight. He got up and started making circles around me, rubbing up against my back and just purring away! I went back upstairs to see Bunny. She let me pet her for a long time this morning! She would rub her face in my hand and turn so I could get the other side too. She even gave me little kitty kisses!
