Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fudge, Fluffy & Kitty Cat

Boo met me at the door again and raced me into the kitchen for his treats. I went in to see Quartz and noticed that the rubber mat in the bathroom was soiled today... uh oh! Fudge and Fluffy were both snoozing on a chair in the living room. I let the girls in to eat while I cleaned up. Afterwards I went outside to feed Momma Cat. I called for her and she meowed back at me. She was hanging out in her pen and soon came to her spot by the truck. I checked her feeder and it was still standing where I left it. I went back in to spend some time with the girls. They both gave me lots of kisses! Then they did their usual pawing playfully at each other. Quartz was curled up in his spot by the dresser again when I went to turn the faucet off. I pet him for a little bit before I let the girls back outside. As I was leaving, Quartz was meowing at me from on top of the washer. So, I stopped and brushed Quartz and Boo for awhile!

Dakota & Benny

It was a very nice day for our walk today. Kota and Benny were both excited to get going. We took a nice long walk since it wasn't too hot out. Benny was eager to chase after vehicles that passed by us. Kota watched people from across the street curiously. Benny wanted to stop under a shady tree for a little bit to cool down on our way back. There were some lawn people across the street when we got back and Benny sure wasn't happy about that! It took a little bit to finally get him to get into the house. While they were cooling off the doorbell rang and Benny freaked out! A package was dropped off but he thought someone was here.

No one had gotten sick today, and the mats are all still dry. Yay! Boo followed me around and ran down the hall ahead of me after he finished his treats. Fudge and Fluffy were all snuggled up on the bed together. I pet them both for a little while, then turned on Quartz's sink since he was waiting. He likes to lay in the same spot everyday after he's finished drinking. I come in to find him curled up on the floor next to the dresser. I let the girls inside for their supper time. Suzzie had a dirty little nosie! Other than that, they were much cleaner than yesterday! While they started eating I went out to feed Kitty Cat. She was lounging on the sidewalk again. She waddled over to her feeding spot and waited for me. I checked her feeder in the hog pen too. It was knocked over on the ground with the top off, but was still very full. I guess that's one way to get the food out! The girls were waiting excitedly for me when I came back inside. They laid down by me while I pet them, then they started playing and goofing around. They pawed back and forth at each other. When they stopped, Heiny gave Suzzie lots of kisses.

Look at my dirty nose!

Today Momma Cat was laying out on the stone walkway in front of the house when I pulled up. She meowed at me and I came over to pet her a little before I brought out her food. Fluffy was sitting in the window watching us. Boo didn't like that I walked into the back room to get her food first. He pawed at the door and meowed until I came back through! When I returned, he got his treats then followed me to see Quartz, who was patienly waiting at his spot. Someone got sick in a few spots again today... At first I thought maybe Boo, because it almost looks like he may have an infected tooth. But, now I don't think it's Boo because it's mostly the solid dry food kibbles. The girls came in for their supper while I cleaned up. I don't know what they were up to since I saw them yesterday, but it must have been fun! They both had mud caked on them! Suzzie left little spots of dried dirt on the floor when she'd get up, so after they went back out I swept the floor quick. Silly girls! As I was leaving, Kitty Cat was lounging back in her spot on the stone walkway.

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning I came in to find the baby gate open! Mia must have pushed on it or something, but it wasn't knocked over. The gate was still up, but the door was open and the latch was still locked. hmmm... Needless to say, the kitties food dishes were cleaned out! Coco was curled up in her closet when I came to feed her breakfast. I guess Bear was hungry, because she came to see me and started munching on the dry food bowl after I had refilled it. I let Mia back in from the backyard and we took a nice long walk. She got to spend the morning outside today since it was much cooler out! This afternoon Mia was ready to come back in when I got there. I had left some food out there for her, but she didn't have any interest. While I was petting Bear after Coco was finished eating, Coco came walking through the bedroom meowing at me. She said hi again, then went on her way to her spot in the office. After visiting with the kitties, I spent the rest of the time with Mia.

Dakota & Benny

Kota and Benny were sure happy to see me when I picked them up this morning! I could hardly get Kota to sit still long enough to get her collar on! They each curled up on a seat in the car and rode quietly home. Benny did a little bit of exploring. When we got home I dropped off their bag, then we went on our walk right away. They were already a little tired from playing at daycare, so they should be nice and sleepy later! It was nice and cool out this morning, so we took our long walk route. Since Kota discovered her "delicacies" on the sidewalk last time, she wasted no time today and frantically started scooping them up when she'd see them! We passed a little girl that was so excited, "Daddy look at those pretty puppies!".

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning Mia completely rolled over for me when I came in the door! She laid on her back until I pet her tummy. I let her go do her business in the backyard and went to see Coco and Bear. Coco was sleeping on her perch in the office this morning. After I fed her breakfast, I spent some time with Bear. Bear always seems to give me that look like, "Where are you going? I'm not done yet!". I took Mia for a nice long walk since it was nice and cool out. If I touch her back while we're walking, she likes to stop in front of me and lean all her weight against me. She looks up and gives me that face that says, "You can keep petting me!". After we got home I thought about letting her stay outside for the morning since it was cooler out, but I'm glad I didn't because it started to rain heavily shortly after I left! This afternoon I found Mia sleeping on the couch in the sitting room. After I spent some time with Coco and Bear, I sat with Mia in the kitchen so she would eat. When she had finished, she went back to her spot on the couch. It was a good nap day! While I was petting her, I could hear Coco meowing. I meowed back at her, hearing her come closer each time. Eventually she found me and came to get pet some more! Tonight I walked over to get Mia's leash so we could take a quick walk before the rain hit. She knows when I'm headed for the basket and starts jumping around! She went potty right away, but then we didn't make it too far on our walk. She kept stopping in front of me so I couldn't go forward, then she'd turn around and head back for the house. I think she knew it was coming! Not long after we got back inside, the wind really picked up and the rain came. She followed me to the gate and waited there until I was finished spending time with the kitties. When I came around the corner she was so happy! She followed me to the living room, and I quick ran a circle around the couch. She happily chased after me, then rolled over on my feet after I sat down for her belly rub!

Suzzie, Heiny, Boo, Quartz, Fluffy, Fudge & Kitty Cat

Suzzie and Heiny came up to the fence to say hi today, tails-a-wagging! I went in the house and Boo came out and got his treats before I went to turn on the sink for Quartz. Someone got sick a few times today, but no other surprises! The mats were all dry; so far so good. Fluffy and Fudge were both curled up on a bed, and they both let me pet them and didn't move or attempt to run and hide! I guess they've seen me enough times now. lol I let the girls in so they could eat and enjoy the cool house. Heiny did her usual eating circle... take a bite from one bowl, walk around the table to the next bowl, continue crunching on her food on the way back to the first bowl, repeat. haha! While they were eating, I went outside to see if I could find Momma Cat. I walked to the hog pen and tried calling for her. I heard a meow back at me, then she came out and walked over to me. She sure is big! I bet she'll be having them soon! I pet her for awhile, then went to go get a scoop of food for her. As I came out the front door she met me at the porch, then ran ahead and showed me where her food goes!

Mimi

This morning Mimi was just walking in from the living room to greet me. I pet her for a long time in the kitchen before I took care of her food, water and litter pan. She hopped into the sink while I was scooping out her food, and I was going to rinse off the spoon afterwards. She didn't try to move when I turned the water on! I guess she knew she had her body curved in such a way that she wouldn't get wet. She ran ahead of me into the living room for our play time. Today we played with her little brown blanket. I put my hand underneath it and moved it around. She stared, then moved her head in all sorts of directions excitedly, then pounced! She rolled around with the blanket and stuck her head under it, searching for the moving thing. Later it started to rain outside, so she sat in the window and watched.

Bear, Coco & Mia

This morning I said hi to Mia and let her go potty outside. Coco was curled up on the other couch in the sitting room, meowing at me. I went and pet her for a little bit before I got their breakfast ready. Bear woke up as soon as I walked in the room and moved closer for me to pet her. Mia and I went for a nice long walk again this morning. We passed a couple houses that had dogs outside. They were barking as we passed by, and Mia started to whine a little. When we got home, I sat in the kitchen with Mia for awhile to give her some company so she'd eat her breakfast. This afternoon I let Mia sit outside until she was ready to come back in. It was super hot and humid this afternoon, so she didn't want to be out too long. I brought Coco some lunch in her hiding spot in the closet. I could hear Bear calling for me! By the time Coco was finished eating, Bear had decided to come see where I was. Bear had some lunch while I pet her. Tonight Coco ate a good amount for me. Bear got down off the bed and had some supper too after I pet her for awhile. I took Mia for another long walk after I fed Coco and Bear. Once we got home, she sprawled out on the floor next to me. I sat at the dining table again with her so she would eat for me. She did like a good girl! Afterwards, she went and curled up by the couch in the sitting room and I spent some time with her. She's such a sweetheart!!
