Gracie, Molly, Emma & the gang

This morning Emma was all excited when I walked in. I let her and Molly out quick to do their business. Gracie came out of her bed and waited in the kitchen, while I got them breakfast. Molly took a little bit, but then she finally worked on her food. The other two already had their bowls licked clean. I let the older gals outside for the rest of the time, while Gracie and I went for a walk. There was a greater chance for rain and storms today, so I decided to keep everyone inside. This afternoon, Gracie was hopping around when I came in. She sure doesn't get too excited when I come to visit... haha! I tried to get the other two outside. Emma went out one door, then when I opened the other to get Molly out,  Molly just stared at me and Emma came waltzing back in. Emma went in and out a couple times before Molly went outside. Silly ladies! I noticed someone had thrown up, so I started picking that up, while Molly and Emma were out. I heard some rustling in the front room and saw Smudge was getting comfy on the highest box she could find! Gracie was following me around, waiting patiently for her attention. Meanwhile, Henry was on the dining table batting my keys around. After the girls had plenty of time outdoors, Gracie and I went out for a bit. We played with her soccer ball for a little while, until she got bored playing "keep away".

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Stuffy was the first one I saw when I walked in. He was sitting at the entrance to the office, and gave me a couple meows. Oreo was at the top of the stairs, making his way down to the kitchen. The boys were both in the living room waiting for me when I finished with their box. Oreo laid up next to me and Stuffy came over on the other side. Both boys enjoyed some pets and chin scratches. Oreo didn't stay long. He got up and wandered off to nibble and do whatever else he was up to. Stuffy was happy having my attention all to himself. He rolled to his side and purred away. Oreo eventually came back and laid by me again for a little while.

Gracie, Molly, Emma & the gang

This morning I tried to let Gracie out first, since I knew she would be quick and wanting back in for attention. Well she wanted to skip that and start with the attention! So, I let Molly and Emma out instead. I got them all their breakfast quick. Molly and Emma enjoyed a picnic breakfast on the patio. As soon as Gracie finished, I got her leashed up and ready to go. We took a nice long walk this morning! When we got back home I let the girls in so Gracie could get a potty break. When she was done, Molly and Emma went back out for the morning. The weather said 50% chance of rain... so that didn't really help me make a decision lol. I decided to let them have as much time as they could outside since it was nice at the moment, and if I needed I could come back and let them in. This afternoon it still hadn't rained yet, so the girls had good weather for the morning. I let them in, then Gracie and I went out back. After she did her business, she came and sat by me. I kept her company for awhile and pet her. Gracie had fun drinking from the hose when I got her some fresh water. I let her stay outside as I left. Later on, I noticed some dark clouds rolling in by my house, so I went on my way to go put Gracie inside. It was already raining by the time I got there. But, she was happy to come in! She was hiding out in her little igloo. As soon as she saw me she came running and got all excited. She's so funny! This evening Gracie and Emma both met me at the door. Gracie was bouncing around being all happy and silly. I saw someone had gotten into some mischief this afternoon! There was a chunk of clay, some crayons and markers out in the living room. Maybe Gracie was wanting to color a picture for mom. Hehe. I let Gracie out for a potty break before the next round of storms hit. She quickly did her thing. I fed all the ladies their dinners, then Molly and Emma took their turn outside. Gracie sat with me and kept wiggling around, walking under my legs, and just trying to get my undivided attention! Henry and Charlie were on the table wanting some of that too. I need more hands! Haha. I tried to pet everyone and keep them all satisfied. Gracie went out for one more potty break before bedtime.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This afternoon I let the pups out of their beds. I out Sadie out front and took Cole out back. He just sat on the patio, so I tried to coax him out. I carried him out to the grass a few times, but he didn't do anything. I guess he didn't have to go. Haha. I let him hang outside for a little while. He was enjoying laying on the patio and soaking up some sun. I went in to let Zoie out next. She made sure to gather her toys to leave by the door for her return. Sadie and Cole sat with me and enjoyed some attention. Everyone wanted tummy rubs today, even Zoie! Later this afternoon, Zoie met me in the laundry room. She had her toys along, of course! She bounced up and down, then gathered all three in her mouth as we made our way into the living room. Zoie and Cole went outside first for their turns. Cole spent quite awhile lounging on the patio again. I let Zoie inside and put Sadie out for a bit as well. Sadie was enjoying the nice weather outside and spent some time on the front porch, relaxing. This evening, all three pups met me in the laundry room. Sadie and Cole went out first. I took Cole out to the grass several times, but he just turned and cruised his way back to the patio. Zoie went out for her turn, and when she came in I let Cole in as well. We all visited for awhile. Sadie sat in front of me and snuck her cute little kisses in. Cole was being silly and hopping around. I bounced the tennis ball around for him and he had fun with that. Later, I took Cole out again and set him in the grass, and this time he finally went potty for me. I fed everyone their dinners and tucked them in for the night.

Oreo & Stuffs

I came to visit the boys a little earlier today. Oreo came running down the stairs to meet me, as usual! He did his thing in the kitchen, rolling around and rubbing his chin on my leg. After I finished with their other things, Oreo was ready for his attention time. He laid up next to me and purred away. Oreo would move around to make sure I got all the good spots. Eventually, it was time to go find Stuffy. He was upstairs, just lounging in a random spot. I came to sit by him and he rolled to his side right away. He was enjoying some belly rubs!

Gracie, Molly, Emma & the gang

This afternoon I think a rain cloud passed through right before I arrived. I came in and saw that the girls were out back. I let them in, then went to find Gracie. She was hiding under the bed, but when she crawled out she realized it was me. She got all excited and started her heiny wag. I let her out potty quick, then she wanted back in for some attention. We sat in the living room and she got all crazy happy. She was walking back and forth under my legs and trying to hop in my lap! haha. She finally calmed down a little and sat next to me for some pets. Charlie and Henry both wandered in by us and wanted some love too! That made her a little jealous, so she kept walking in between the kitties and I. "Pay no mind to them... feel free to pet me though!!" I let Gracie spend the afternoon outside since it was nice out. This evening Gracie went running to the back door when she saw me head for the garage. I let her in and she was just ridiculously excited!! I think that's the bounciest I've ever seen her. Haha! She was running in place several times since the floor was slippery, was bouncing around, then trying to get the other pets all riled up. I went out and got their dinners, since Emma didn't want to go out for me yet. Molly didn't want to get up from her spot either, so I fed her in the bedroom. By the time they all finished, the older gals were ready to go out. Gracie sat with me and kept running under my legs again and again. She cracks me up! I let Gracie out again once more before it was time for bed.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening I heard Oreo running down the stairs when I walked in. He was waiting for me in the kitchen. Oreo laid on the floor and purred while I got his dinner ready tonight. He met me in our spot afterwards and continued to purr away. He laid next to me and rubbed his chin on my leg or my hands, making sure to get all his spots. He must have worked up an appetite! Oreo got up after a little while to go snack. While he was eating again, I went to go see Stuffs. He was curled up at the top of the stairs, just sitting there. I went and sat with him to give him some attention. He was loving it up today as well! He rolled to his side and had me scratch his chin and his tummy. When he was done, I went back downstairs and Oreo was following me around again. I sat with him longer for round two of lovins! He laid on his side as well and made some imaginary "kitty biscuits" with his front paws. Silly boy!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Ruby came racing outside to the gate to see who was here. She let out a bark until she saw it was me. She came back inside with me to get Rusty. He was busy searching for his ball. When he found it, we headed back out. Ruby wandered around, then lounged on the patio for a little while. She then went in to snuggle on her couch. Lance had come outside with us today as well. He and Rusty were both exploring the yard. Lance found a shady spot in the grass to sprawl out. Later, he was busy chasing after bugs. Rusty eventually brought me his ball and we played a long game of fetch.

Oreo & Stuffs

This evening Oreo was peering down at me from the top of the stairs. He would walk a little bit, stick his head through the railing and give me a meow. Then, he would continue and do it again. He's so funny. He met me in the kitchen as usual. He went to town on his food, while I cleaned their box. The boys were both sitting in the entryway when I was done. They followed along to our spot in the living room. The boys laid on either side of me for some attention. Even Stuffy wanted some love today! Usually he sits just out of reach, but today he sat right next to me. I had both hands busy, giving them their chin scratches. When they were done, they each wandered off and took a turn to snack.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

This afternoon, Rusty and Ruby joined me outside when I arrived. It was a pretty uneventful day for them. They both plopped down in a sunny spot in the grass. Even Ruby rolled around today! They rolled, then got comfy and soaked up some sun. They did that pretty much the whole time. We headed in so I could make sure they had enough water. I spotted Lance snoozing away on the guest bed. It was a nap kinda day!
