Oreo & Stuffs

Today there was a little mouse toy sitting right by the door. I guess Oreo was preparing for my return! I didn't see him right away. He was already sitting in the kitchen, ready to start rubbing up against my legs and to roll around on the floor. I refilled their dry food today while Oreo started on his canned food. Stuffs was getting a drink of water when I had finished cleaning their box. Oreo had moved on to the living room and Stuffs walked with me to join him. The boys laid on the floor and both were happy to get some chin scratches! They purred away. I had to take turns petting each of them since they weren't quite close enough for me to reach them both at the same time. After awhile Oreo decided to go nibble on his food some more.

Oreo & Stuffs

Oreo meowed at me as soon as I opened the door. He was making his way down the stairs. He followed me into the kitchen as usual. He rolled around and was rubbing up on my legs like he loves to do! I hadn't seen Stuffs yet, so I went to clean their box quick. Oreo followed me into the living room for some attention time. He loved rubbing his face on me for awhile. Then, we played a little with one of their toys. I heard Stuffs come down and go into the kitchen to nibble on their food. Soon, he came into the living room to see what we were up to. Stuffs was pretty lovey today! He came over for some chin scratches and meowed 'thank you' to me. He even got into playing today. He was chasing, rolling and contorting into silly positions trying to catch it! We had some fun today. While Stuffs and I played, Oreo decided to go get a bite to eat.

Flax

This morning Flax was already up and about. He was at the front of the house when I pulled up. He quickly came over to my car and barked hello. He walked with me back to the front of the house. I went in to take care of the fish and to get everyone fresh food and water. Little kitty must have gotten into the food! The white bag was on the floor and the other was tipped over on the shelf. Brave little kitty to go into Flax's territory! I went out and didn't see him in the other garage anywhere. He must be out exploring this morning. Once I was finished, I went to see what Flax was up to. He was lounging on the front porch. I sat with him and he enjoyed every minute of his attention time.

Flax

This morning I couldn't see Flax on his bed when I pulled up. I headed into the garage and found him laying in the shade. I filled his bowl and he started nibbling right away, so I went to see kitty. He was hungry! He raced all the way to the bowl and danced around while I filled it. He got a couple bites, then hopped down and started rolling around. I saw Flax wander out of the garage and head towards us. I went over to Flax and we sat in the driveway. He was happy for some attention again. He pawed at me to keep petting him. This evening Flax was laying in the garage. It was a very nice day out! He sat right up and started barking when I pulled up. I got him his canned food, fresh water, then went to check on kitty. He must have heard me coming too, since I nearly plowed him over with the door! He got out of the way quick enough though. I went and visited with Flax for a bit. He was pretty sleepy tonight. Later, I went to give kitty some more attention since he didn't get any this morning. He was meowing and talking to me like crazy! Its funny... he sure knows what line not to cross, where Flax is boss. Kitty went to investigate the pool, but would not cross the concrete to follow me.

Susie & Frank Fritz

This morning I fed the kiddos breakfast. I noticed the white bowl I put out was missing, so I started to look around the yard for it. Frank was interested in what I was doing, so he kept running to grab a bite, then would follow me. He didn't want to miss out on anything! I finally found the bowl under the grill. Since that idea didn't work, I just returned the bowl to the house. After they finished their breakfast, it was time to play! Frank started wrestling around with Susie. This time, she was giving him a taste of his own medicine! When he was done rough-housing, she instigated a round. Needless to say, she was winning! Haha! They played until a helicopter flew by. They heard it, stopped what they were doing, and just stared curiously until it passed. Frank had fun chasing after a big bumble bee that flew by next! This evening Frank knew I was there, getting their dinner ready. He started pawing at the door. Tonight they both ate pretty quickly. Frank came over for some attention. He doesn't jump so much once he settles down a little. He just wants so much love! He and Susie did some wrestling. Frank made me laugh when he poked his head through the railing to spy on Susie. He was watching her walk around the yard, and was getting into that pouncing stance! I got them each a treat to work on. After Susie finished hers, she came to say hi while Frank was occupied. When he came running over, Susie went and found a spot in the shade to relax.

Oreo & Stuffs

Today Oreo was in his spot by the door waiting for me. He gave me a meow hello. I saw Stuffs sitting up on the stairs as well. He made his way down, while Oreo followed me around the house. Oreo was as attached to my legs as he could be. I nearly tripped on him several times! Haha! He got to work on his food while I got them some fresh water. He started in on Stuffs' portion next, so I tried to stop him. Luckily, all I had to do was walk out of the kitchen! Oreo followed me while I gave the plants a drink. He kept meowing at me like, "Hey, aren't you going to pet me now?!" I stayed with them for a longer visit today. All three of us headed to the living room. Stuffs hopped up on the tv stand again. Today he wasn't only watching the birds though. He was entertained by watching us! Oreo got some chin scratches and some play time in too. Stuffs didn't want to come down by us, but I made sure to give him a few chin scratches before I left. Oreo and I sure had fun today!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Kimmie wasn't in her usual spot when I arrived today, so I went right next door to say hi. When I came back I still didn't see her, so I quickly refreshed their items. I called for her, then she appeared in the doorway and followed me to their water bowl in the bathroom. She waited while I did that, then came along with me to see Jerrie. Kimmie crawled under the curtain and sat in her window. Jerrie came down and enjoyed his brush time. I would brush him, and sometimes he would brush himself while I held it. He likes rubbing his chin on the bristles! I played with Kimmie a bit since I could see her heiny sticking out. She'd throw out a paw at me to play. I uncovered her so I could pet her, but she wasn't interested and crawled back under the curtain. Silly girl!

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

This morning Blackie got up and came over to say hi when I opened the garage. He soon wandered off to go explore the neighborhood. I headed in to see the other pups. They were excited to get outside. Sparkles was in the living room, looking a little overwhelmed when all three were running about! She was safe from being trampled where she was though. Haha! I took Hudson out first, then the two ladies. It was a beautiful morning, so we spent the whole time outside. Hudson was watching the yard, looking for any neighbor dogs. Zel wandered off into some tall grass and spent some time sniffing around. I got them a fresh bowl of water while we were playing outside. Soon Gabbie was at the gate, barking to come inside. I told her it was too nice out and she'd have to wait until the other two we're ready to go in. She eventually trotted off to do more exploring. Blackie came back to visit me some more. When it was time to head in, we stopped on the steps to wipe off paws. They all did very good!

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie & Blackie

Blackie came up to say hi when I opened the garage. He must have been resting inside. I could hear the other three, barking excitedly. I let them each outside for a potty break. Next, we headed back in for dinner. After I filled everyone's dishes, I noticed something moving above me out of the corner of my eye. Sparkles was sitting up high on top of the cupboards!  She came down and got a few scratches while the pups worked on dinner. Hudson was finished first, as usual. He sat with me to get some attention until the others finished. After everyone got a drink, we all headed back outside. They went racing to the opposite side of the yard to say hi to the neighbor dog. Blackie kept me company, and was happy to be pet. He wouldn't let me stop even for a second! When it was time, I put the pups back to bed.

Flax

This morning Flax was in a deep sleep. He didn't even hear me pull up! I walked close and quietly called his name so I wouldn't scare him. He sat up and gave me a big bark. He slowly got up and made his way to say hi. We sat outside a bit, then he wandered off to take a stroll. While he did that I got him some fresh food and water. Next, I went to visit the little kitty. He was very shy at first, keeping his distance, but obviously wanting some attention. He would startle and zoom off, but never too far! I got him a little food as well. This evening, Flax was snoozing away again. I added a can of food to his dish and he got right to work. While he was eating I visited with the kitty for awhile. Tonight, little kitty wasn't shy anymore! He was loving on me and purring away. He rolled around on the ground nearby, then would come over for more attention. Flax came over and put an end to that! Kitty took off to hide, so now it was Flax's turn for attention. He and I sat in the driveway for awhile. He walked circles around me, having me scratch different sides. Eventually, he laid down and enjoyed the evening air.
