Flax

This morning I couldn't see Flax on his bed when I pulled up. I headed into the garage and found him laying in the shade. I filled his bowl and he started nibbling right away, so I went to see kitty. He was hungry! He raced all the way to the bowl and danced around while I filled it. He got a couple bites, then hopped down and started rolling around. I saw Flax wander out of the garage and head towards us. I went over to Flax and we sat in the driveway. He was happy for some attention again. He pawed at me to keep petting him. This evening Flax was laying in the garage. It was a very nice day out! He sat right up and started barking when I pulled up. I got him his canned food, fresh water, then went to check on kitty. He must have heard me coming too, since I nearly plowed him over with the door! He got out of the way quick enough though. I went and visited with Flax for a bit. He was pretty sleepy tonight. Later, I went to give kitty some more attention since he didn't get any this morning. He was meowing and talking to me like crazy! Its funny... he sure knows what line not to cross, where Flax is boss. Kitty went to investigate the pool, but would not cross the concrete to follow me.

Susie & Frank Fritz

This morning I fed the kiddos breakfast. I noticed the white bowl I put out was missing, so I started to look around the yard for it. Frank was interested in what I was doing, so he kept running to grab a bite, then would follow me. He didn't want to miss out on anything! I finally found the bowl under the grill. Since that idea didn't work, I just returned the bowl to the house. After they finished their breakfast, it was time to play! Frank started wrestling around with Susie. This time, she was giving him a taste of his own medicine! When he was done rough-housing, she instigated a round. Needless to say, she was winning! Haha! They played until a helicopter flew by. They heard it, stopped what they were doing, and just stared curiously until it passed. Frank had fun chasing after a big bumble bee that flew by next! This evening Frank knew I was there, getting their dinner ready. He started pawing at the door. Tonight they both ate pretty quickly. Frank came over for some attention. He doesn't jump so much once he settles down a little. He just wants so much love! He and Susie did some wrestling. Frank made me laugh when he poked his head through the railing to spy on Susie. He was watching her walk around the yard, and was getting into that pouncing stance! I got them each a treat to work on. After Susie finished hers, she came to say hi while Frank was occupied. When he came running over, Susie went and found a spot in the shade to relax.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo was in his spot by the door waiting for me. He gave me a meow hello. I saw Stuffs sitting up on the stairs as well. He made his way down, while Oreo followed me around the house. Oreo was as attached to my legs as he could be. I nearly tripped on him several times! Haha! He got to work on his food while I got them some fresh water. He started in on Stuffs' portion next, so I tried to stop him. Luckily, all I had to do was walk out of the kitchen! Oreo followed me while I gave the plants a drink. He kept meowing at me like, "Hey, aren't you going to pet me now?!" I stayed with them for a longer visit today. All three of us headed to the living room. Stuffs hopped up on the tv stand again. Today he wasn't only watching the birds though. He was entertained by watching us! Oreo got some chin scratches and some play time in too. Stuffs didn't want to come down by us, but I made sure to give him a few chin scratches before I left. Oreo and I sure had fun today!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Kimmie wasn't in her usual spot when I arrived today, so I went right next door to say hi. When I came back I still didn't see her, so I quickly refreshed their items. I called for her, then she appeared in the doorway and followed me to their water bowl in the bathroom. She waited while I did that, then came along with me to see Jerrie. Kimmie crawled under the curtain and sat in her window. Jerrie came down and enjoyed his brush time. I would brush him, and sometimes he would brush himself while I held it. He likes rubbing his chin on the bristles! I played with Kimmie a bit since I could see her heiny sticking out. She'd throw out a paw at me to play. I uncovered her so I could pet her, but she wasn't interested and crawled back under the curtain. Silly girl!

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

This morning Blackie got up and came over to say hi when I opened the garage. He soon wandered off to go explore the neighborhood. I headed in to see the other pups. They were excited to get outside. Sparkles was in the living room, looking a little overwhelmed when all three were running about! She was safe from being trampled where she was though. Haha! I took Hudson out first, then the two ladies. It was a beautiful morning, so we spent the whole time outside. Hudson was watching the yard, looking for any neighbor dogs. Zel wandered off into some tall grass and spent some time sniffing around. I got them a fresh bowl of water while we were playing outside. Soon Gabbie was at the gate, barking to come inside. I told her it was too nice out and she'd have to wait until the other two we're ready to go in. She eventually trotted off to do more exploring. Blackie came back to visit me some more. When it was time to head in, we stopped on the steps to wipe off paws. They all did very good!

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

Blackie came up to say hi when I opened the garage. He must have been resting inside. I could hear the other three, barking excitedly. I let them each outside for a potty break. Next, we headed back in for dinner. After I filled everyone's dishes, I noticed something moving above me out of the corner of my eye. Sparkles was sitting up high on top of the cupboards!  She came down and got a few scratches while the pups worked on dinner. Hudson was finished first, as usual. He sat with me to get some attention until the others finished. After everyone got a drink, we all headed back outside. They went racing to the opposite side of the yard to say hi to the neighbor dog. Blackie kept me company, and was happy to be pet. He wouldn't let me stop even for a second! When it was time, I put the pups back to bed.

Flax

This morning Flax was in a deep sleep. He didn't even hear me pull up! I walked close and quietly called his name so I wouldn't scare him. He sat up and gave me a big bark. He slowly got up and made his way to say hi. We sat outside a bit, then he wandered off to take a stroll. While he did that I got him some fresh food and water. Next, I went to visit the little kitty. He was very shy at first, keeping his distance, but obviously wanting some attention. He would startle and zoom off, but never too far! I got him a little food as well. This evening, Flax was snoozing away again. I added a can of food to his dish and he got right to work. While he was eating I visited with the kitty for awhile. Tonight, little kitty wasn't shy anymore! He was loving on me and purring away. He rolled around on the ground nearby, then would come over for more attention. Flax came over and put an end to that! Kitty took off to hide, so now it was Flax's turn for attention. He and I sat in the driveway for awhile. He walked circles around me, having me scratch different sides. Eventually, he laid down and enjoyed the evening air.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today I had some talkative kitties! Oreo was making his way down the stairs as I came in and gave me a hello meow. He stopped and rubbed his face on the posts, then met me in the kitchen. I got them some fresh food while he plopped at my feet and rolled around. As I was headed to clean their box, I saw Stuffs on the stairs. When he saw me looking at him, he gave me a couple meows. He did a big stretch, then came down to see me. We all sat in the living room downstairs and they got some attention time. I pulled out a couple toys and we had fun with those for a bit. I saw the cat nip spray and spritzed a toy. Oreo loved that! Stuffs got bored and hopped up by the tv to look out the window. The birds were going crazy out there! Oreo laid by me for some chin scratches. He'd suddenly jump and turn around to look at the birds. Then, he'd plop his head back on my hand, purring away. "Ok, you can resume petting me!" He made me laugh. Both kitties eventually got bored with me and went to nibble on their food.

Susie & Frank Fritz

Your note was right... Frank sure is a bouncy little guy! But he's super cute so its ok. ;) I fed them both right away when I arrived. Frank quickly finished his food and came over to say hi. We worked on having him sit if he wanted to be pet. He actually didn't do too bad! He sure loves attention. Susie came wandering over by us, wanting some pets too. Frank got all excited and started wrestling around with her. He'd pinch onto her cheeks and she'd stand there and tolerate it, giving him a scolding occasionally. She's such a good girl! This evening the pups were around the side of the house when I came out. They both came running when they heard me! While they worked on their supper, I refilled their water bowl. It was laying upside down by their dog houses. I put their other water bowl outside with them just in case, so they'd have enough if he decided to play with the bowl again. Frank came bouncing over after dinner for his attention. Susie came over too and was happy for some back scratches. I got them each a treat to work on. Frank was being silly, barking and pouncing on his before he finally started eating it! They had some more fun messing around with each other afterwards.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today miss Kimmie was in the same spot, waiting by the front door for me to come say hi. She followed me into the kitchen and was waiting right there for me to come back, while I went to say hi next door. Kimmie jumped up on the back of the couches and raced along with me as I headed to the bedroom to refill their water. Jerrie was snuggled up on the top of his tower today. He came down, laid on the floor with me and enjoyed a long brushing. He laid next to me and purred away. He tilted his head to the side and rested it against my face. Such a sweet boy! Miss Kimmie wandered in by us and sat in the window behind the curtains again for quite awhile. Later, she came out and climbed up their kitty tower to play a bit. She rolled around in the cubby and peeked over the side at me. She was being a silly girl today!
