Pokey

Today I could hear Pokey barking when I walked in, but couldn't see him. I walked towards the back door and saw him in the  living area. He didn't want to come by me at first, so I walked outside and left the door open for him to follow. He did, and once he got outside I think he remembered me. He came running over and crawled in my lap! He snuggled with me for a little bit, then wandered off. He explored and checked things out around the yard. Pokey would come back to visit me for a few back scratches now and again. It was so nice out today! We spent the whole time outside enjoying the sunshine.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This morning I just opened the door and the gang ran outside! They all had to sniff at me first, of course. Once I was cleared, they all ran off to do their business. I got out a toy and suddenly Panda was right at my side. She was ready to play! She took the first one. I tossed the baseball one out to Bubba. Panda zoomed over to him and he would just drop it, then she would steal it away. Such a gentleman to share! Miss Molly was stuck to my hip, wanting her pets most of the time. She's such a sweetie. Occasionally, she would take off to go steal a toy. Miss Panda had Bubba chasing after her for quite awhile. She would steal his favorite toy and they would both zoom past me in one direction, then later would go running the other way. That made me laugh. I turned on their TV so they could watch some Animal Planet before I left. Meerkat Manor was on. Haha! This afternoon we spent the whole time playing outside. I got all the toys out and we all had fun chasing around. I would throw one toy, then it was a race to see who would get it! Many of the times, Panda would give up one toy to go for the one that was just thrown. So, that allowed Bubba to get plenty of fetch time in with his favorite two toys! The girls spent some time chasing after each other and tugging on a rope toy. Eventually, we went in so they could get a drink and relax.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty was ready to go, waiting in the kitchen for me with his purple ball. He must have given up on trying to find the red one for today. He just wanted to play some fetch! I let Ruby out and we all headed outside for awhile. It was very nice out today. Rusty and I played a long game of fetch. I think he would have continued, but I made him take a break for a bit to cool off. We went in to go see Lance. He was in a snuggly mood today! He curled up on my lap for awhile and was happy to be pet. Once Rusty began prancing around with his ball, ready for round two, then Lance started getting playful. He kept trying to swat at Rusty when he would come by!

Sadie & Stormy

This morning I got breakfast ready for the ladies. I walked into the bedroom and found them both snuggled up by their bed under the window. I took Sadi in to get her medicine. She got the yellow pill in addition again this morning. Then, I put her down by the food while I scooped out their box and switched out their bowls. She chowed down again for awhile. When she was finished, we headed to the living room. Sadi was happy to be brushed again. Stormy sat nearby, curled up in a ray of sunlight shining in. I called her to come over, so she did for a bit and enjoyed a few chin scratches.

Tux, Molly & Panda

This evening the pups started barking when they heard me at the door. I walked in and they all had to check me out. We headed outside right away for a quick potty break. I grabbed the softball toy and tossed it for Bubba, but miss Panda stole it right away! We headed back in so they could get their snacks. When they finished, we visited and they sniffed at me a bit more. Molly remembered me and barely left my side. She wanted her attention! Later, we went back out to play awhile. Since Panda had the good ball, I threw the other one to try and get her to switch. Nope! She was wise to my trickery. Haha! She kept playing "keep away" with me too. She would run up to me, then race away if I tried to grab it. Sneaky girl! So, I got out Bubba' s squeaky Kong toy to throw around. Panda came from somewhere, swooped in and stole that too. Poor guy couldn't catch a break. Then Molly intervened. It was musical toys! They all kept stealing a toy from one another. They had me cracking up. Finally, the girls were busy chasing around, so Bubba and I got some fetch time in. Later, we headed back inside for the night.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I heard Ruby let out a little bark when I walked in. She and Rusty were coming to check out who was home. I was going to take them outside right away, but Ruby took a little convincing. She kept running down the hallway. I checked around to make sure she didn't have any accidents anywhere. She did good! I finally got her to come out with us. She roamed a little then went back in. I don't think she was a big fan of the crazy wind today. Rusty was trying to look for his ball. He would run to a spot, then would look back at me, "Am I getting warmer?". He never did find it today. After we went in to play with Lance awhile, he finally decided to settle for the purple ball. Ruby enjoyed a belly rub while the kitty played.

Harper, Henry & Noah

I had three noses trying to peek out the front door at me as I cracked it open! I squeezed inside and they were so excited to see me. I let everyone outside quick, so they could get a potty break in. Instead, they all stood and watched me. Haha! So, we headed back in for them to eat their lunch. Henry went and showed me which container was his. He stood by that and his bowl. Such a cutie! Everyone polished off their bowls pretty quick. We went back outside again for them to play. They were full of the dickens today! They kept trying to wrestle around with each other, so I had to try and calm them down. I'm not sure what they were so excited about. Maybe the crazy wind today had them all worked up! When we got inside again, I gave them a few minutes and they settled down again.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I got breakfast ready for the girls. When I took it to their room, Sadi was already in there getting a drink. I set the food next to her and she just went to town! I let her eat a bit, so I got them fresh food and water, then scooped their box. I had her take a break so she could get her medicine. I gave Sadi the yellow pill in addition to the others today, since she was quite stuffy last night and this morning. When she was all done, I took her to the living room. I sat her down by me and started brushing her. It took a minute, but then she sat down and started purring away. Poor little stuffy lady. She seemed to be happy getting her pamper time though! I took her back and set her in the box before I left. I hadn't seen Stormy, so just out of curiosity, I peeked out on the patio. Sure enough, she was all curled up on the chair out there! This evening Stormy was lounging on the back of the couch. She gave me a meow every time I walked by. I stopped to give her a quick pet on the way to see Sadi. Miss Sadi was all curled up in her bed by the window. I had to wake her up for her medicine. She was still pretty congested again. I set her by her food and water while I scooped their box quick.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty met me in the kitchen, then waited in the living room while I let Ruby out. I saw Lance was under the table, making his way to see me. The pups and I went outside for awhile. It was cloudy, but nice and warm today. Ruby explored around the yard a bit, came by me for a couple heiny scratches, then headed back inside. Rusty explored, looking around for his ball. Finally, he found it and brought it over to play some fetch. We played until it was time for him to take a break. Lance was in the living room, waiting for me to return. He's such a cutie pie. He played, while the pups snuggled up on the couch next to me.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today I was surprised to see Ruby greet me in the kitchen. Rusty joined her, so we all went outside right away. Rusty ran out and picked up his ball. Ruby came and sat with me for some heiny scratches. She was loving that up! Rusty rolled around in the grass awhile, then he brought me his ball for a game of fetch. He played for awhile, until I made him take a break. He was panting, so I wanted him to cool down a bit. Inside, I played with Lance. He ran to the living room ahead of me, then sat and pawed at the air. "I'm ready!" He rolled around and pounced on his toy, having a blast as always. I kept hearing funny noises today. I went to look and see where it was coming from. I happened upon Salem, who was wide-eyed and having some fun of her own! Haha. Rusty was in and out, enjoying the nice day. I threw his ball for him a few more times before I left.
