Bella & Chico

This morning I let the pups out right away. They both ran out to do their business. It was a foggy morning, but not as cold as yesterday. It was quite nice out. Later, Chico was all curled up on the blanket on the couch, taking a little snooze. Miss Bella was busy exploring outside for awhile. She'd come in to get some attention now and then. Chico came over to snuggle on the chair with me and that got Bella all jealous. She settled down once she got her belly rubs. Later on, she ate some breakfast. This afternoon was quite warm out! Both pups spent quite a bit of time out back running around and exploring. This evening, they went out and did their business after I let them out. Bella would come to see me for her pets every few minutes. Chico would come once in awhile too. He eventually stayed and snuggled with me in the chair. Bella had some dinner before bedtime.

Hudson, Zel & Gabbie

This morning some excited pups greeted me at the door. I let them all out for their potty breaks. The girls were first to come in. It was a foggy morning, but much warmer than yesterday. Gabbie had one of her sneezing fits while we waited for Hudson. Haha. Once he came in, it was time to get their breakfast. Everyone ate well. In fact, Gabbie and Hudson were little stinkers and tried to go for Zel's food. I got them to go out so she could finish in peace. After they ate, it was back outside. Hudson was busy on patrol. After a little while, the girls were ready to come in. Miss Zel curled up in her blankie under the tree while Gabbie sat by me for pets. Soon, Gabbie joined her and they were giving each other kisses. So sweet! This evening, the pups announced my arrival. I let them out for their potty break. After everyone ate, they went back out to play. I couldn't see any of them, but could hear them rustling around in the leaves. Hudson and the neighbor dog exchanged words again tonight. The girls both raced over to back him up. I had them all come in a little after that so they weren't being too loud. Hudson made sure to go and lick all the bowls thoroughly, ya know, in case there were any leftovers. Haha. He and Gabbie sat by me for some attention until it was time to go.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This evening Miss Sadie came to greet me in the laundry room. She followed along to the kitchen so I could read notes quick. I let Sadie out front to do her business. Cole was barking at me from the bedroom, so I went to let him out. I took him out back to do his thing. I didn't even have to coax him tonight. He just went right off the patio to go potty. Good boy! He came in and Sadie was ready to switch with Zoie. After she was done too, we all sat in the kitchen to visit. Zoie was busy bringing me toys to play tug with. Sadie sat in front of me and kept stealing kisses. Cole came over for a few pets as well, but then went to paw at the gate. He was ready for bed. I made sure everyone had water and gave them each their treat. Zues and Miss Piggy got a few snacks and more water as well.

Bella & Chico

This evening all was quiet in the house when I came in. I said hi puppies as I headed to the kitchen. That got Chico going! I let them out and Chico zoomed out back. Bella tagged along with me so she could say hi. Once we got outside she tried giving me some hugs. Haha. Chico was in and out and nibbling on some food. Miss Bella was my little shadow and stayed right by my side. It was a little on the cool side tonight, so we came in and sat down. Bella laid on the floor by me for her belly rubs. Chico curled up in the chair behind me. Soon, it was time to tuck them in bed for the night with their cookies.

Hudson, Zel & Gabbie

This evening all was quiet when I came in. I said hi to the pups and they all started getting excited. I let Hudson and Gabbie out and they all bounced around me on the way to the door. The pups went out potty, then it was time to come in and eat. They were ready! Hudson and Gabbie both scarfed theirs down. I let them back out while Zel finished up. She joined them once she was done. Hudson zoomed off to the corner to go bark at the neighbor dog. I couldn't get him to come back for me, so those two barked at each other for a bit. Haha. Gabbie had raced off to join him, but later came back to ask to go inside. Too chilly out for her! The girls came in and sat with me for some pets. When it was time to get Hudson, he was already on his way to the door. Good boy!

Micah, Henry, Houston, Charlie, Smudge & Finn

Today I called for kitties as I walked in. I didn't see anyone, so I began to check rooms. To my surprise, they were having a party in the kid's room! I found four of them hanging out in there haha. I looked in and they all stared at me like I caught them doing something. That made me laugh. Houston was curled up in a blanket, Micah was lounging on the bed, and Smudge was sitting on the floor on the other side of the bed. Finn was busy hopping around and trying to get my attention right away. I found Henry napping on mom and dad's bed. He had the whole thing to himself! I looked around again today and still didn't see Charlie anywhere. Wonder where he's hiding out? I cleaned up Smudge's presents and the litter box quick, before I got Micah his food. Houston, Finn and Henry were all in the kitchen waiting. I had to go get Micah. I gave the other three a little bit to snack on today too. It was a game of musical bowls after that. Why is it that someone else's food always looks better than their own? Haha.

Murdy

Today Murdy met me at the door and led the way to the kitchen. He hopped onto the counter and told me stories while I got his food ready. He waited on the counter while I filled his other dishes and took care of his food. Today, he hopped down when he saw I was finished and led me to the office door. He was ready for playtime! We got out his toy and the chasing began. Murdy was having a blast zooming back and forth, sliding across the floor as he went. We heard someone talking outside and that got him all concerned. Haha. He stopped playing and quietly stalked his way to the front door. He sat there and listened for a bit, then returned to play some more.

Micah, Henry, Houston, Charlie, Smudge & Finn

Yesterday Henry was coming down the hall to see who was home. I went and checked faucets to turn them back off since it was supposed to be warmer today. I spotted Houston curled up on the floor in one of the bedrooms. I heard Finn meowing behind me. Shadow is a very good description for her! She raced along with me everywhere from then on, hopping on counters next to me to get attention. Micah was hanging out by the Christmas tree. I called him over to get his food. I couldn't find the other two today. They must have a good hiding spot. Micah ate his food, and Finn tried relentlessly to get at it. Haha. Henry tried a couple times, then just waited on the floor. Those two worked on Micah's leftovers.

Micah, Henry, Houston, Charlie, Smudge & Finn

Today I came in and heard someone meowing loudly. I found Finn locked in one of the bathrooms. She raced out quickly and ran off to hide. Houston walked out from the kids bedroom to come say hi. I went to the master room and found Micah and Henry both lounging on the bed. Smudge was hanging out in the other kids room. I saw she was mad at the world today. Haha! The only one I didn't see today was Charlie. I looked around for him but didn't see him. While I was walking around, I could hear Finn talking to me. I'd meow back at her and she'd meow some more. She eventually came out. She slowly walked up and got a few pets. After that, she was brushing up against my legs and hopping on the counter for more. Finn was still a little nervous, but I'm sure that'll go away soon. I got Micah out his food and he worked on that. He ate very well. Henry and Finn finished up his leftovers. While they ate, I cleaned up Smudge's spot and litter boxes. Everyone seems to be doing great so far!

Murdy

Today I came in and Murdy was making his way to the door. He stopped to do a big stretch, then followed me to the kitchen. Murdy took his pill for me, then supervised while I got his canned food out. He went to work on his food and I did my things. Murdy helped me in the office and got his toy. He came to sit with me at our spot and enjoyed a few pets. Soon, he was busy swatting and pouncing on his feather toy. I would toss it up on the couch and he'd race up there quick to get it. It wasn't long before he was ready for some more pets.
