Iris, Panda, Phoebe & Boo

This morning the kiddos all woke up when I walked in. Iris and Panda were ready to head outside. They did their business, while I got them some breakfast. Panda came in first and bounced at my feet. I gave him a couple pats, then he went to eat his food. I walked out to see where Iris was, and she was just standing out in the grooming area. When she saw me looking, she followed me inside. Phoebe and Boo took their turns outside while I got them some breakfast too. At lunch time, everyone went out for a potty break. Later, they went out again. I got them all some fresh water, while they were busy outside. Everyone has been doing great! This evening Iris and Panda went out for a few minutes. Panda came in and was happy to get a few pets. Miss Iris got some too, when she returned. Phoebe kept wanting to stop and visit with everyone when it was her turn. Then, she followed Boo outside. They returned and went to their beds. Boo was dancing circles around me first.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I let Ruby out and she followed me to the door. Rusty came along after a little bit and joined us outside. It was super windy out, so Ruby did her thing and headed right back inside! Rusty hadn't even brought his ball out either. We all went in to go visit with Lance a bit. He was in more of a snuggly mood today. He kept climbing up into my lap and purring away. Miss Ruby sat next to me and pawed for me to rub her belly. Rusty sat on the floor for a bit, then he curled up on the couch. I had Lance chasing his toy around later. He wasn't quite as crazy chasing it as he was yesterday! I had the pups come outside with me again. I found Rusty's ball and gave it to him, so he brought it along this time. Ruby didn't stay out long again, since the wind was still blowing. Rusty and I stayed out a little while and played some fetch.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy came to say hi in the kitchen, while I got their food ready and mixed up some more. She followed along behind me to take it to their room. To my surprise, Sadi was already in there. She went to town on the food, so I let her eat. I changed their water and dry food out and waited until she'd had her fill. I scooped her up and set her on the counter to give her her medicine. When we were done, I put her in her litter box. She wandered down the hallway when she was done. She seemed a bit disoriented this morning. Sadi kind of sat there a bit, then later she almost bumped into the wall. I went to her and she followed me out to the living room, where she sat for awhile. Stormy came to visit me a little, but then she headed back to the bedroom.

Iris, Panda, Pheobe & Boo

This afternoon the pups all looked at me when I walked in. It wasn't long before Iris chimed in to announce my arrival! I let Iris and Panda out right away and they quickly made their way to the garage. They let themselves back in on their own. Panda had thrown up some food before I got there, so I was busy cleaning that up. He was such a good boy and kept trying to go back into his bed. I had to coax him back out so I could get it all cleaned for him. Next, Phoebe and Boo took their turns outside. This evening Iris and Panda took a little more time to do their business. They came back in and I let the others out. I got them all a fresh bowl of water, then made sure Iris had some food in her dish. They were all very good puppies!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I came in and let Miss Ruby out of her bed. Lance heard us and came following along. I think Rusty was either napping or looking for his ball! It took me a few calls before he came running. The pups went outside and did their business. Ruby hung out on the porch for a bit, while Rusty and I got some fetch in. He did a little exploring too, then he carried his ball and headed inside. Ruby was all snuggled in her spot on the couch. I found Lance's toy and we played for awhile. He makes me laugh. He was jumping and pouncing, and just having a blast! Rusty sat with Ruby and I, until he decided he wanted to play too. He dropped his ball in my lap. We went outside to get a few more throws in.

Murdy & Charlie

Today we had very strong wind gusts. When I got inside, both boys came running down the hall to see me. I went to take care of their things quick, then we sat in the living room. You could hear the wind howling and whistling outside. That had the boys busy! Murdy was racing from window to window, trying to chase after the leaves that were flying around. He would sit and paw at the window. Charlie chased after his mouse toy with me. The wind would whistle outside, then he would race to the front door, looking a little confused. I'm not sure what he thought that was! Once Murdy ran down the hall with him, then they wrestled around on their way back.

Murdy & Charlie

Today the boys both greeted me when I came in. Charlie started rolling around on the floor in front of me. I scooped him up and he snuggled with me for a minute. Murdy sat on the counter, waiting for his turn. I took care of their things, then went to our spot. Charlie helped supervise, by sitting on my shoulder, while I picked up kibbles around their food dish. In the living room, Charlie got to work immediately, chasing after his mouse. Murdy sat next to me awhile again today. Then, he got a playful spurt too. He was playing with a mouse toy in the kitchen. Charlie, of course, had to go investigate. He returned to chase and pounce on his mouse string after he saw Murdy had taken over his spot.

Murdy & Charlie

Today Murdy was already at the door when I came in. Charlie meowed from the kitchen and met me half way there. The boys hopped on the counter and both rested their noses against my cheek. So sweet! I pet them for a bit, then went to take care of their things. They must have been hungry boys yesterday! They had polished off their food dish. I got them some food and water, then Murdy got started on eating. I scooped their box, then headed to the living room. Charlie was just in a playful mood today. He was ready to play! He chased after his toys, up down and all over the place. Murdy came and sat next to me to watch. Then, he pounced on his brother! They went zooming around the house, chasing after each other. Charlie came back and sat on my shoulders for a bit. Then, it was back to play time. He did the little wiggle butt pose before he'd attack his toys! He's so silly.

Mimi & Diego

This morning there was a lot of commotion at the house. The babies both came over to the gate, happily wiggling their heinies at me. I scooped them up and took them outside. They both did their business like good puppies! We headed back upstairs into their room. I gave them some treats, which Mimi helped herself to, because Diego didn't want his. I sat on the floor by them and Mimi crawled her way into my lap and burrowed herself in my sleeve. She sat there the whole time. Diego was snuggled in his covers, busy watching the people going up and down the stairs.

Murdy & Charlie

Today when I walked in, Murdy was sitting on the stairs. He did a big stretch, then followed me to the kitchen. Charlie heard us and came running. He sure has gotten big since the last time I saw him! He kept meowing at me and made me laugh. I cleaned out their box and got them some fresh food and water. Then, we headed to the living room. I got out a couple toys and Charlie got busy playing. Murdy sat on the footstool and watched from above. Charlie was a crazy little man today! I don't think he sat still for more than two consecutive seconds. He was chasing after the mouse toy, running, jumping and pouncing on it. In between his attacks, he would run over and rub against me. His little motor was just running nonstop. Later, Murdy decided to join in and tackled his brother. They wrestled around for awhile. When Charlie was finished, he came and perched himself on my shoulder. He sat and rubbed his face on my cheek for awhile. He's so sweet!
