Benny & Dakota

Benny announced my arrival with a welcome bark and Dakota sang from her cage! As I let her out, Benny made laps around the couch! I put Dakota's leash and collar on and finally Benny came to a stop, just long enough for me to put his collar and leash on! They both pulled me to the door and out we went! It was a cloudy afternoon with a cool breeze, but we enjoyed our time! Friendly Benny said hello to all the neighborhood dogs, while Dakota kept us at a pretty fast pace! She doesn't like to stop as much as Benny! There was a time, however, when Dakota stopped and Benny was busy looking the other way and ran right into Dakota's back side! It was so hilarious! We made our way back to the house, Benny on the right and Dakota on the left side! When we got home, we did head outside to the back yard to play fetch and Benny decided that he was going to bring in the purple bone today instead of the green ball!

Kita & Kitten

This morning when I was unlocked the door, I heard the rattle of Kita's collar as she stood waiting to say hello!! She stretched, yawned and then started doing circles all the way to the back door! We enjoyed the cool morning air and I took a cute picture of Kita facing the sun! Back inside, I was excited to see if Kitten would come out to play again, but she gave me some tired, little meows like she had stayed up too late last night!! Oh well, maybe tonight she will be rates up enough to play!! Sure enough, Kitten was coming out of the bedroom when I opened the door this evening!! I went over to pet her for a few seconds, and Kita made sure it was only a few seconds and she barked at me, wanting to go outside! So I followed Kita into the kitchen and let her out and when I turned around, there was Kitten! I sat down on the floor and she "rammed" into my hand and flopped on my legs, enjoying the love and attention. She thanked me many times with her little meow and some rough kisses! We heard Kita whining outside, wanting to come in for some attention too! She went over to her water dish for a drink, then joined Kitten and I on the floor in the living room! Kitten continued to do somersaults at me as I was trying to take a picture of her, it was hilarious! Finally, she stayed long enough for me to snap a photo. Kita, on the other hand, is a professional! She loves to pose for the camera!! We had a fun night tonight; see you two in the morning!

Ally, Prissy & Daisy

This morning when I arrived, Ally had moved one chair down!! She immediately jumped down and came over to me and rubbed her head against my hand! We then went on a little hunt for Prissy and found her relaxing on a stool on the sun! She purred as I scratched her head and posed for a pretty picture!! The up the stairs I went to say hello to Daisy. She was relaxing on the second floor, but came down the ramp, knowing it was time to play!! She ran around the room, through her tunnel and even jumped on top of the bed!! After she got tired of hopping around, she came over to me and enjoyed some scratches behind her ears. Then it was off to play, dashing through her tunnel and down the side of the wall to the big pillow. She knocked that over and played hide-n-seek again!! It's so funny how at times you can only see her little ears in the corner!! It was time for me to go, so I got Daisy settled back in with her fresh water, food, hay and a few treats! I went down to say goodbye to Ally and Prissy. I gave each a few scratches then I was off! Thanks for the fun, see you next time!!

Flax

This morning, Flax was laying in his big, cozy bed when I arrived. He greeted me with a hearty bark and then went right for the door. Outside, we enjoyed the beautiful sun and cool morning air. Another quiet and peaceful day, perfect for a long venture! We strolled around the little creek, Flax taking one side and I on the other. We walked side by side in the frosty grass, and a few times Flax tried to cross over to my side, but he realized there was too much water, so we continued on together! Finally, he was able to get across at a dry area, then we journeyed over to the little pond. We definately took advantage of such a beautiful morning for a long walk! After we made it around the pond, Flax was ready to come in, so we made it back to the house and went in for some water. We sat on the floor and I gave him a few more scratches and then it was time for me to go! See you next time, Flax! Thanks for the great time!

Kita & Kitten

This morning, Kita quietly greeted me by the door and yawned as she slowly went to the back door! She must have had a fun night with Kitten and her toys! While she was outside in the cool, morning air, I refilled her food and water dish, along with cleaning Kitten's litter box and giving her fresh food! I then went and layer down on the floor and talked to Kitten, who was resting in her usual spot under the bed! We chatted for a little bit, until Kita barked she was ready to come in! I could hear Kita greeting me as I was grabbing the mail! She was excited when I came in the house. She ran to the back door and did some little jumps! While she was outside, I prepared a few little surprises in her dinner bowl. When she came in, I had one little piece left so I asked her to do some tricks! When Kita shook my hand, she put both her paws in my hand at the same time!!! Then she tan back to her food and showed down! Then it was play time! We played with her toys and her red ball. I went back to the bedroom to say hello to Kitten and there she was, sitting on top of the bed!! She meowed and rolled over. I sat and she enjoyed some scratches and continued to meow. There were times she would almost head-butt my hand and flop over! Kita sat patiently in the room while I gave some attention to Kitten! It was then time for me to go! I said goodbye to both and wished them a goodnight!

Flax

I got a hardy welcome from Flax as I entered this afternoon! He met me with a wagging tail and more "hello"! I gave him a few scratches and then he headed towards the back door. We both went outside to enjoy the cool afternoon air. The birds were chirping and the sun was out, making it a peaceful time as we walked around. Flax then headed toward the open garage door and found a comfortable spot on his bed! He laid down and took a little afternoon snooze! I snapped a quick picture of him before he woke up and we went back inside. When I arrived this evening, Flax was drinking some water and came over with a wagging tail to greet me! After some scratches, he was ready to go outside. Flax and I walked around and enjoyed another peaceful night in the cool air. He would walk ahead of me and then come back for some more love and attention. Finally, he was ready to come inside and have some food. Flax picked the lamb stew for his dinner and licked the bowl clean. He then moved on to some dry food! After dinner, we went back inside and he enjoyed more scratches! He laid down on his bed and I snapped another picture! Isn't he so cute? It was time for me to go, so I gave him one more treat and said goodnight!

Daisy, Prissy & Ally

I found Ally lounging on a chair under the table when I arrived this morning. She stretched and jumped down to greet me! I sat and gave her some scratches and then we went on a little hunt for Prissy. We were unable to find her, as she must have found a secret spot to relax! Then it was time for me to head upstairs to see Daisy! When I entered the room, Daisy was patiently waiting to be let out! I opened the cage and out she went! She roamed around the bedroom, occasionally coming over to say "hello" and sniffed me with her cute little nose! She enjoyed running through her tunnel and chewing on the doorways to the tunnel! Next, Daisy jumped on the rocking chair and sat for a moment, then bounded off and ran under the bed! She came out a few seconds later and played hide-n-seek in the corner by the t.v.! After some time, she came over and closed her eyes as I scratched around her ears and neck!! It was time for me to go, so I filled her food and water dish up, placed hay in her pan and placed a treat on the top floor and she enjoyed another yummy treat on the way in! I went back downstairs and said goodbye to the cats! See you tomorrow!!

Kita & Kitten

Kita was excited to see me when I arrived this morning! She ran to the door and it took me three times to grab her collar because she was making circles around me so fast!! Finally, we went outside to say hello to the new day. The neighborhood dog was watching Kita and I, as we played in the back yard. I think he wanted to come over and play too! I let Kita stay outside, while I went into to see sweet, little Kitten. I found her enjoying the peace and quiet under the bed. We talked back and forth, but she did not venture out today again! I heard Kita barking, so I said goodbye to Kitten and let her in. Kita came in and grabbed a bite to eat and some water, then went to lay down in the living room. When I arrived this evening, Kita ran over to her squeaky toy and threw it up in the air, then barked! She didn't stay out too long tonight, as the air was cool. Back inside, she dug into her food, enjoying the few treats I hid throughout the dish. A few minutes later, she came into the living room and the bowl was completely empty! We played with some toys before it was time for me to leave! Sleep good, Kita and Kitten!!

"Which toy should I choose?"

Caleb & Charlie

As I entered the house, Caleb met me in the kitchen with his blue tennis ball toy, ready to play! He ran around the living room, changing from his toy to his bone! I then asked him if he wanted to go for a walk and he happily followed me to grab his leash. It was a short walk, as the weather was not cooperating with us today! We walked fast and Caleb greeted the neighborhood dogs as we hurried home. Then inside, we played with his toys until he ran back and forth from the living room to the back door. Caleb bounded out into the back yard and found another toy to play with! He rolled around on the ground as he tried to decide which toy to play with. As I turned around, I finally saw little Charlie peeking out the back door at us! I snapped a cute picture, but he didn't stay long as he saw us coming back inside. Caleb ran around the living room and around me as I was sitting on the floor! Finally, he sat down and enjoyed some scratches before it was time for me to leave! Thanks for a fun time!!

"Hey, I wanna come outside and play!"

Dakota & Benny

Benny said "hello" to me as I turned the key this afternoon! He then immediately ran into the kitchen as if to tell Dakota it was time for a walk! As I opened Dakota's cage, she was singing to me and wagging her tail! I found the leashes and we ventured out into the cool, afternoon air. During our walk, Benny greeted his usual friends and Dakota thought she saw something moving and was ready to go after it, until she figured out it was a plastic blag blowing in the wind! We made our way around the neighborhood and back home. Each took a quick minute to get a drink, then we headed out back to play a little fetch! Benny ran around with the green ball in his mouth, even though I was throwing different toys! He would try to growl and bark at me with the big, green ball in his mouth; it sounded hilarious! Dakota chased after the blue bowling pin and Benny tried to get it away, even with the ball in his mouth! Such fun times!! Thanks for a great time!!
