Sadi & Stormy

This morning I spotted Stormy in the living room while I got their food ready. She wandered to the kitchen to come say hi. I think she was happy I didn't have to give her any meds today! She followed me to go eat, while I got Sadi out from under the bed. Sadi got her meds, then she got to join Stormy for a little breakfast. They ate a bit, then came to see me in the living room. Stormy was being silly again today, in such a playful mood. I grabbed her yellow mouse toy and she rolled around and swatted at that for a bit. Sadi was just happy getting her pets.

Bella, Louie & Chico

This afternoon I let each of the pups out to go potty. Chico sat in his bed for a moment and I realized why. He was wearing his blanket like a poncho! There was a hole big enough for him to get his head through. I couldn't resist getting a pic! He got out on his own and raced for the backyard. It was gorgeous out this afternoon. Bella was racing along the fence, checking things out. Chico would chase after her, in between chillin' in my lap. They both took breaks to lounge in the grass and soak up some sun. Chico did an army crawl towards Bella, then she playfully pawed at him, which got them started chasing again! Louie was busy wandering around from one end of the yard to the other, exploring. When it was time, they all lined up in their beds for their peanut butter snacks. This evening Chico was wearing his blankie again, so I went ahead and changed it out. They actually all did very well about focusing on eating their dinners for me tonight. They must be getting used to me. Old news... haha! Bella would race off into the darkness to investigate sounds she'd hear, then return for another bite to eat. The boys messed around in the house awhile.

Sadi & Stormy

Today I got the food ready for the girls, since no one came to say hi. I put the food in their room, then started looking for them. Stormy was just chillin on her chair by the window the whole time. I gave her a quick pet, then went to the patio. Sadi was up already, making her way towards me. We took care of her meds. Next, I picked up Stormy, since she still hadn't moved from her chair. I started brushing Sadi, then Stormy wandered over. She was a spunky, sassy girl today! She laid down next to me and was fascinated by some smell on my shorts. She started mouthing them, so I moved. Stormy freaked out and started rolling around, acting all crazy! You woulda thought I had some catnip in my pocket. Haha! I got a mouse for her to play with. She played with that... then with Sadi's tail! What a silly cat she was today. Sadi didn't care though, since she was busy getting her chin scratched. Before I left, I put Sadi back in their room for her to eat.

Noah, Henry & Harper

This afternoon I came in and Henry and Harper came racing to say hi. I fed everyone their lunch quick. Henry was last to start his, as usual, so I sent the other two outside. Friday was already meowing at me. Once Henry finished, we joined the boys outside. It was gorgeous out! Noah and Harper both were trying to get my attention. Henry was off exploring, and staring up into the tree at something. Friday sat at the door and watched us. When it was time, we headed in. I put Friday upstairs, then gave each of the pups a treat.

Rusty, Ruby & Salem

Rusty came outside and barked this morning, when he heard me pull up. He came inside with me to let Ruby out. I went out again with them to make sure they went potty before breakfast. They both quickly finished their food. Salem was sitting out on the bed, watching me. I gave her a few chin scratches before taking care of the turtles. Rusty was following me around with his ball, ready to play. It was wet and foggy out this morning. The other four were out having fun running around in the fog. This afternoon was nice and sunny out. I saw Salem sitting in the window by the turtles when I went to let the pups out. Rusty finally got his game of fetch in! We played for a long time. Ruby was in and out, stopping by for a back scratch now and again. We went in so I could fill up their water dishes, then went back out to play a little longer.

Carson & Sammy

This morning I saw Bella sitting under the car as I pulled up. As soon as I got out, she meowed and ran to me to say hi. She followed me to the door, and thought she was going to get to come in. The pups both woke up when they heard me. I let Carson out first. Sammy didn't want to go, so I had to pick her up and put her out there with him. While they were busy going potty, I went to check on Bella's food. She was waiting right at that door for me, and made an attempt to sneak in. Sorry kitty! I gave her some more food, which she decided to nibble on. Carson and Sammy came inside after awhile, and I let them roam around the dog room for a bit. As I was petting Sammy, Carson wandered up to me and pawed at my leg. "Pet me too!" That made me laugh. They both enjoyed some back scratches. Carson followed Sammy around again, and even checked out her kennel a couple times. They both got a couple treats when it was time to go, for being such good pups!

Carson & Sammy

This afternoon when I came to visit, it was hust downpouring outside. I opened the door to let them out, and they just gave me that look... no way! I tried for awhile, but neither wanted to venture out for me. So, we just hung out in the dog room awhile. They got to stretch their legs for a bit anyways. Sammy did a cute little happy dance around me for some attention. Carson just followed her everywhere. This evening the rain had finally stopped. I got Bella some fresh food and water, since her food was soggy and floating. Sammy and Carson took a little convincing to go out for me, but this time they did. I got them some fresh water and gave them a little time to do their business. They came inside to eat their dinners. Then, they went and played outside for a little while again.

Rusty, Ruby & Salem

This morning Rusty saw me, then grabbed his toy and followed me around. He was doing his happy wiggly heiny dance! I let miss Ruby out and they both got their breakfast. Rusty got his medicine as well. While they wandered out to go potty, I scooped Salem's box, then fed her and the turtles. The pups came back in to see what I was up to. I turned around and saw Salem sitting on the bed, watching me. I let her sniff at my hand. Then, she let me pet her! She rubbed her chin on my hand and started purring away. Later, I went outside and played some fetch with Rusty. Ruby came out with us and snuggled up next to me for a bit while we played. This afternoon Rusty met me at the door, already carrying his ball. Unfortunately for him, we weren't going to get our game in this time. It was pouring rain outside. I let Ruby out and sent them out to go potty quick. They both went right for their doggie door to come back in. So, we hung out in the living room for awhile. Before I left, I went outside with them so they would go potty for me. Both did their business before we went back inside. This evening Ruby had done well in the living room again. I let them both outside to go potty, while I fed the others. They had to wait for me to dump all the water out of each of their bowls, so they got a little antsy. Haha! Back inside, miss Ruby ate her dinner. Rusty was still outside, waiting for me to come play. The rain had stopped, but the yard was so muddy. I didn't want him to get all covered and track it in the house, so we held off for tonight. He sure made me feel bad about it! He just stared and cried at me. :( I got him to come inside and work on his dinner, so he forgot about it for a little while anyways. I gave him both his medications tonight. While I was in the kitchen, Salem came in to say hi! She came around the island and meowed at me, so I stopped to pet her a bit.

Rusty, Ruby & Salem

This afternoon I headed inside and went to see Rusty. He let out one bark, then I sat by him and he remembered me. I let Ruby out next, then went to the back door to let them out. Rusty took off in the opposite direction instead. Then, shortly after, he came racing around the corner. He just had to go get his favorite ball! We went out and Rusty initiated our game of fetch right away. Ruby hung out with us for a little while, then she went in and stayed in the living room. Rusty and I played a long game. He's so good at bouncing up to catch his ball! He took a few breaks to roll in the grass or take a dip in his pool. I let them both stay in the living room before I left. This evening the pups came to greet me when they heard me come in. I got Ruby her dinner first. Rusty was only interested in playing! I went out and fed the other 4 in their pen. They all came running to eat right away. Rusty and I played fetch for quite awhile. Later, we headed inside and I filled all their water dishes. When it was time, I got Ruby in her bed, then gave Rusty his medicine and dinner.

Sadi & Stormy

Today Stormy was lounging under the dining table. I mixed up some new food for them, then went to give her a hello pet, since she hadn't come to see me yet. She started heading for the bedroom, but I interrupted her to give her meds. I changed out their litter liner today, and she went right in to potty. I went to find Sadi when I was finished. I found her soaking up some sun on the patio. She was warm from the sun on one side, then cool from the concrete on the other. She was a bit stuffy today, but I got her all cleaned up. She got her meds, then she ate a little for me. When she finished, we went to our spot to brush her. Stormy came trotting over for a little attention too.
