Bear, Coco & Mia

Tonight Mia was sitting at the front door as I pulled up. She got excited and said hi to me for a little bit when I came in! I let her outside, but she just sat by the door. I got the kitties food ready and she was still sitting there, so I let her come back inside. Bear was making her way over to the food and started to meow at me. I pet her for a minute, then went back to see Mia. I grabbed her leash and she started dancing around so excitedly! Coco came out and meowed at us. I took Mia for a little walk. She had some soft stool tonight, so I will keep an eye on that. It didn't look like she ate much from this morning, so I'm sure she was just a little stressed. On our way back, some joggers passed by us and Mia decided to pick up the pace too! She curled up in the living room when we got home while I said hi to Coco and Bear for a little bit. I came back and sat with Mia and gave her a nice tummy rub before I left. She followed me to the door and watched out the window as I left. I don't think she or Bear wanted me to go!

Mimi

This morning Mimi was sitting in her window, watching the people outside. I met a couple folks that said they were playing with her through the window! When I got inside, she was already attached to my leg. She followed me around and rubbed up against me, purring away. After I took care of her things, we went and sat in the living room. We played catch with her blue plastic ring for a little bit. Then she curled up under the table and played. She swatted at my fingers playfully and poked her head out to watch me. This evening Mimi was meowing and giving me kisses on my leg as I walked in. I pet her for awhile and then got her food ready. She took a few minutes to eat, then we had some fun! She ended up under the table again, sticking her little paws out at me!

Dakota & Benny

It was garbage day today, so Kota and Benny had all kinds of fun smells to stop and check out on our walk! As we passed by some fences, Benny would walk in the little sliver of shade that was just wide enough to cover him. Kota was hunting birds today! She scooped up a few fried worms off the sidewalk too! Yummy! lol Once we got home, Benny laid down right as we got in the door until I got their leashes off. They both went out in the backyard for a few minutes. Benny just wanted to go grab a ball to play with! Kota laid in her kennel and fished out ice cubes that I put in her bowl for her. They both spent some time rolling around by me and getting their tummies rubbed!

Mimi

Tonight when I came, I checked the mail right away. As I was walking to the door, I noticed Mimi was sitting in the window watching me! As soon as I got inside, she was saying hi to me and giving me kisses. I refilled all her dishes and scooped her litter right away before we took time to play. While I was filling her dishes she followed me all around and even hopped up in the sink! I brought out her twisties and carton ring to play with. She was more interested in finding more out about me! I also tossed one of her tinfoil balls to her and she swatted at it several times. I grabbed some of her other things and tried to get her to play with me. She was just so intrigued by me that she just had no interest! Maybe tomorrow we can get to know each other more!

Dakota & Benny

Today Benny did his laps and also did his little dance for me! Sometimes while I'm going to let Kota out of her kennel, Benny likes to stand on his back feet and do a little dance for me. So cute! I forgot to bring a plastic bag along with me today, just in case one of them decides to do their business. We took a nice walk today, a little longer than normal. They were both so excited for our walk! While we were on our way, a yellow plastic bag filled with air was floating around past us like a balloon. Kota and Benny were both curious and started chasing after it right away! As soon as Benny got to it, he grabbed it and started shaking it around with his head. He held onto it long enough for me to get it from him, and luckily we were able to use it later! Kota was squatting a lot again to pee on our walk today... not sure if you guys narrowed it down to her marking yet or not. Once we got home, Kota laid right in her kennel and Benny hung out in the kitchen. Kota went out in the backyard to go potty quick and I grabbed a ball for Benny.

Caleb

This morning I let Caleb outside right away, but he didn't want to go potty. He was already in play mode! I waited out there until he finally did, then he got his breakfast. He was ready for his walk when he finished, so I got his collar on and then we went on our way. We took a nice long walk this morning. Caleb found a couple dried up froggies on the ground and had to run over and smell them. Thankfully he didn't pick any up! There were all kinds of things for his sniffer today. He stopped by each garbage can that we passed, found a few dried up critters, and even a melty candy wrapper! There were also lots of other people out walking in the neighborhood today. When we got home we played for a little while before it was time to go. This afternoon, I came in through the garage instead because I brought the bin back inside. Caleb was anxious to see who was here! We went outside for awhile and I brushed him. He wanted to go back in, so we played fetch and keep-away with several of his toys. He grabbed one of my shoes today, but I just ignored him and redirected by playing with one of his toys. He immediately dropped the shoe and was only interested in the toy I had! We went back outside again and he roamed around the yard. He brought me another one of those pieces of cardboard or paper that he found in the yard like the day I met him. He dropped it for me and went back to exploring! He saw a bird on the other side of the fence and was just watching it. If there wasn't a fence there, I'm pretty sure he would've hunted it down! Later we played with his giant tennis ball out there. It was so hilarious! He was running, rolling himself over it, and trying to pick it up! As I was giving him his puzzle toy and putting him to bed, I told him mom would be home later. He was such a good boy for me!

Dakota & Benny

Kota was just yelling at me like crazy today when I came in! She hasn't woo-wooed at me like that in awhile... I guess she was happy to see me! I got them both hooked up and away we went. We took a pretty long walk today. The sun was warm, but the air wasn't quite as sticky, so Benny was able to go further. It was pretty quiet outside today. There were only a couple houses that had Benny's friends out in their backyards. So he tried chasing some cars instead! Kota wanted to go out in the backyard for a little bit when we got back home. Benny stayed inside this time and cooled off in the kitchen.

Caleb

This morning I let Caleb go potty real quick before I fed him his breakfast. He's so cute the way he prances around with his toy on the way out! He made sure to bring his orange puzzle toy with him. As soon as he finished he breakfast, he looked up on the counter at his leash and collar. He was ready for his morning walk! He danced around some more and got so excited when I picked it up. We went for a nice long walk this morning. He was pretty tired when we got home, but he still wanted to play! He wasn't as quick as he usually is, so I was able to get his squeaker from him more! We went to sit outside since it was so nice out. I was going to brush him, but he was too busy playing and having fun with his puzzle toy. He roamed around for awhile after that before we went back inside. I put a treat in one of his other toys and we played "keep away"!

Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy

This morning after everyone finished their breakfast, they all chased around the yard together. There were a couple of what sounded like Beagles, behind the fence crying and howling. Rudy sure didn't like that and barked along with them! I found the log in Rudy's kennel so I brought that outside for them to play with. I threw it for them once and after Ralphi got it, that was the last of that! He sat and gnawed on it, and once in awhile had the other two chasing him around. Roxie snuck it away from him while he got a drink of water! After he got it back from her, she came over by me and tried to catch flies for awhile!

Roxie, Ralphi & Rudy

This afternoon I let everyone outside in the backyard to go potty when I got there. I gave them some nice cool water and boy were they thirsty! I brought their leashes out back to get them all hooked up. They were all pretty excited! Rudy could barely hold still for me to get his collar on him! We walked until the little ones started to get too warm, then headed back home. I gave them more cool water and Rudy was lovin that up. He stuck his whole face in, then one paw... I think he wanted to go swimming! They spent a little time cooling off in the house before I gave them their treats and put them to bed. This evening they were happy to get outside again. They all were running around the yard like crazy! I left the light off to try and keep the bugs away and every now and then would see a flash of one of them zooming past me! Someone was lighting off fireworks in the distance and they all started barking at the sound. Rudy had a blast rolling around in the grass a couple times! They'd all come by me for some attention, then all three would zoom off together either chasing each other or some unusual noise they'd hear!
