Bradford, ZZ, Heighty & the gang

This morning, as I walked into the garage, I heard little sniffing noses at the side door from outside. They knew someone was home! Moody met me in the kitchen and meowed hello. I stopped to give him some attention. He followed along to the door, as I went to see the pups. Bradford was bouncing around excitedly! Sugar got to work on her breakfast right away. Miss Heighty found a ball and kept rolling that to me to play. She wanted to play some fetch first! I tossed her ball for her a bit. Moody was laying on the back of the couch, waiting for me to return. I made sure he had plenty of food and water as well. He hopped right up and chowed down on his breakfast too. This evening when I walked in, I heard Moody meowing at me, but didn't see him right away. Then, I noticed he was still curled up on the back of the couch. He stayed put and waited for me, knowing I was going to see the dogs. Everyone was very excited to see me! Bradford was bouncing up at me for attention. I sat down after I filled their food dishes, and they surrounded me! They all wanted pets. Eventually, they wandered off to go eat. I filled their water bowls and made sure Moody had enough in his dishes for the evening.

Susie, Katie & Blackie

This morning was nice and cool outside. I said hi to the furry little kitties, then went to see the pups. The girls wasted no time to race into the kitchen to see me. They both were bouncing up and down at my feet. So excited! I got them leashed up and off we went. It was so nice that we saw more people outside, jogging or walking their dogs too. The girls did very well anytime we passed someone by. We got home and Blackie was all snuggled up on the couch. I fed the girls, then went to check out the breaker box. After that, I visited with the kitty cats for awhile. This evening the kitties were pawing at the door while I was messing with the breaker box. I went in to say hi and several came running over. Inside, I had two excited girls, ready for their evening walk! I got them ready and we went on our way. Once home again, I saw Blackie hadn't gotten up from his comfy spot on the couch. So, I held his plate over to him so he could smell it. That worked! He hopped down and I sat with him while he ate, so the girls wouldn't steal it. The kitties were happy to see me again when I came to take care of them. My little tabby started to try and walk on my back tonight, instead of just my usual "boop!" on the head. Haha!

Taz & Clyde

This morning it was very cool outside and the grass was wet with dew. Instead of taking extra time to let the boys out and drying paws, we skipped that this morning. I got them leashed up and we took off for our walk right away! They seemed pretty excited to go, as usual. Clyde was getting antsy while I put my shoes on to go. We took a nice long walk this morning. We didn't see other dogs out walking this time, just some joggers. There was one in particular that passed by and Clyde got all excited about! We got home and I dried their paws off before we headed in. I got them their breakfast to work on, while I put their leashes away. This afternoon was just gorgeous outside! The boys and I headed out to the back yard after I got them their dental chews. They enjoyed lounging around and soaking up some sun. They wandered around a little when they heard noises, but mostly they relaxed and enjoyed the weather. This evening was still nice and cool out. We headed to the garage to get their leashes on. Clyde was crying with excitement! We went for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Taz spotted his kitty sitting outside a neighbor's house. He kept looking back at it as we passed by. When we were nearing the house, I spotted a kitty sitting next to my car! It took a couple minutes, but then the boys saw it too. They sure got excited about that! It wasn't easy to get them in the house, since they really wanted to go check out that cat. Haha! I let them wander around out back for a few minutes, while I got their dinner and water ready.

Taz & Clyde

This afternoon the boys met me at the door with wagging tails. I picked out a treat for each of them, then we headed outside. Clyde finished his quickly, but Taz savored his a bit. It was nice and cool outside this afternoon. The boys lounged around and enjoyed it! They would occasionally hop up and race along the fence when they heard something. This evening the boys were excited to go for their walk! We took off right after their dinner and went for our stroll. It was the perfect weather for it! After we got home, they went for a potty break quick. I wiped their paws before they came in.

Bella, Louie & Chico

It was raining lightly this morning when I came to visit the pups. I let them out of their beds, but Chico decided to hang out in his a little longer. Silly boy! Everyone went out to go potty, but we spent most of our time inside this morning. Louie seemed like he was looking for trouble! He kept trying to sneak bites from the other food bowls. Bella stayed out to work on her food, then I tried to barricade Chico's bowl off better with the chairs. Louie still found a way in, then knocked over the food bowl. Little booger! Haha! I cleaned that up, then Louie came over to talk to me. He makes me laugh. I'll ask him a question, then he would respond with a "howrooo". I noticed Chico kept racing for his bed any time Louie headed in that general direction. I began to think maybe he was hiding something in there. I checked, since I changed out their blankets anyways. Nope! Nothing there. Goofy boy. This afternoon the rain had stopped and it was nice and cool out. They got to spend much more time outside this time. Chico went off to explore a bit. Bella and Louie had some fun racing laps around the yard. Bella thought that was the most fun, having him chase after her! They each took some time to come visit me for attention. They were very excited when it was treat time! This evening was even cooler out. Bella, Chico, and I spent some time outside. Louie would wander out now and again, but he preferred to be in. They all worked on their dinners without any trouble.

Susie, Katie & Blackie

We had more rain this morning. Luckily, it had slowed to just a sprinkle by the time I arrived. I headed inside and got the kitties purring. I love that! They start almost instantly. A couple of the little guys were having a blast with some boxes, rolling around and trying to hide from me in them. I got the girls ready for their walk. We didn't walk quite as long this morning, since Katie wasn't liking being outside in the sprinkles much. They both did their business, then we headed back. I was happy to see that Blackie had polished off his plate this morning while we were gone! He was outside wandering around. I changed out the kitties boxes again today. A couple of them thought they'd help by hopping in the one I was trying to take. Haha! Later, I saw Blackie was still outside, so I tried to coax him back in. He must be enjoying the cooler weather! This evening several of the kitties were curled up by the door when I tried to come in. I saw some more, each perched on their own spot on the kitty tower. I stopped to pet them, which they enjoyed. I went in by the girls and they met me in the kitchen. They were ready for me! Blackie looked pretty comfy all curled up on the couch. It felt like a fall day this afternoon, and was still cool out this evening. The girls and I took our long walk. Blackie was still snuggled up in his spot when we returned. I went and sat by the kitties for a bit after I cleaned out their boxes. My little tabby almost crawled on my back while I was cleaning tonight! The kitties were pretty snuggly and lovey, all purring and trying to get my attention.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This morning everyone zoomed outside to go potty. After Chico finished, he came and hopped in my lap for some attention, while Bella was off exploring. Bella kept hearing something that was getting her all excited. Louie wandered around, then went in to eat his breakfast. Chico then went in as well and made sure they didn't eat his food. I had to laugh as Louie kept sneaking in a few bites from Chico's bowl when he wasn't looking. I sat inside with them a bit, and Bella came for some back scrathes. She kept weaving herself under and around my legs, being silly. This afternoon was very nice out. Bella and Chico did a lot of sniffing around. Chico sunned himself for awhile too. Louie would come out to say hi and to see what the others were up to. They each lined up in their beds when it was time for their snacks. This evening the pups went out and I got a towel to lay by the door. We had some good rain and storms this afternoon. Bella went right to exploring. Chico was being a little sassy tonight. He kept trying to claim all the food dishes as his own and would get upset if Louie would come near him. Bella was off having fun, so she didn't care. At one point, I was outside with Bella and I heard Chico. I went in to tell him no and to make sure he was behaving. That's when Louie decided to stand up to him and they almost got into it. I got them broken up before they did anything, and grounded them to their beds. (It was time to go anyways). I'm just happy Bella was too busy exploring outside! Hopefully Chico won't be so ornery in the morning towards his brother.

Susie, Katie & Blackie

Last night as I was driving home, I realized what was going on with Blackie. He must have sensed the big dark clouds that were headed towards the house. They were spouting some lightning, but no thunder that I could hear. This morning Blackie was all snuggled up on the couch by the girls. They both came and sat in the kitchen while I got his food ready, waiting excitedly to be leashed up! It was so nice out this morning. The girls and I enjoyed our nice long walk. I spent some time playing with the kitties after I took care of their things. There is one cute little tabby that always sits above me while I scoop, then bops me on the head! Haha! This evening I came to visit and the garage wasn't working for me. So, I went in another way. I got the girls ready for their walk, and set Blackie's food down for him. We had had some pretty loud storms over the afternoon today. Luckily, they had stopped in time for my visit this evening. It was still pretty nice out tonight. When the girls and I got home from our walk, I noticed Blackie had wandered outside to do his business. He was acting a little weird again tonight, so I suspect he's still upset about the storms. Hopefully he will have a quiet day tomorrow! The girls sat on the couch with me and got their treats. Katie settled on the floor and sat up against my legs, and Susie snuggled up to me on the couch for a few minutes. I went to visit with kitties for a little bit afterwords. I noticed they like to keep reading about vitamins and minerals! Haha! They keep pulling one particular book down and I have put it up pretty high. I guess not high enough!

Bella, Louie & Chico

This evening the pups heard me come in, and were getting all excited! I was suprised and stepped in a spot of vomit on the floor... I guess someone had an upset tummy today. I let all three pups outside and worked on cleaning that up, while they did their business. I let them back in when I was done, then worked on getting them their dinner. Louie was following me around, bouncing along and being silly! He ran over and slid into his bowl when I filled it with water. Someone was thirsty! Haha! They all were good pups, settled down and worked on their dinner for me. Bella, of course, said her hellos first. She's such a cutie. Later, we headed inside. Bella came running at me, wanting to wrestle, then Louie did the same. Chico was just worried about them trying to steal his food. When it was time, Bella and Louie went in their beds. I went to look for Chico, but he was already in there! I didn't even see him sneak into his bed. Good boy.

Susie, Katie & Blackie

This morning a bunch of the kitties were lounging right by the door, so I had to be careful coming in. I pet a few of them before heading in by the girls and Blackie. There was a bit of barking this morning, but Katie and Susie both raced into the kitchen to see me. I gave them each a little treat, while I was getting Blackie's breakfast ready. Katie and Susie were very excited to get their leashes on this morning! We took off and went for a nice walk. It was gorgeous out. Once we got back, I let them work on their food while I went to play with the kitties a bit. This evening I sat and played with the kitties for a few minutes before I went to take the girls for their walk. They make me laugh when, as soon as I start to pet them, their motors start going one-by-one. A couple were trying to take over my lap. The rest were busy rubbing their faces on my shoes or trying to play with my clothes. I headed inside and was surprised to see Blackie standing under the computer desk, just looking at me. I got his food ready, then took the ladies for their walk. When we got back, I saw Blackie hadn't eaten, and he was still under the desk. So, I brought his dinner to him and he got working on it right away. I'm not sure what was up with him. The girls came and got their treats. Katie even sat pretty for hers!
