Sadi & Stormy

This morning I mixed up some new cans of food when I arrived. I was a little surprised that miss Stormy hadn't come out to see me! I put their food in their room, then started to look for Sadi. She wasn't under the bed today, so I guess she was out on the patio with Stormy. I opened the door and Stormy was right there, waiting for me to open it! I picked her up and gave her a dose of her medication quick. Then, I went back to the patio to get Sadi. She was sleeping in her little kitty tunnel out there. There was all kinds of spiderwebs at the entrance to the tunnel, which she got all over herself when she came out. Oops! I wiped them off her, then we headed inside. She took her meds like a champ, as usual. Such a good little kitty. Her eye looks about the same to me today. Still just a little bit of cloudiness. I set her by the food, then checked the litter box quick. I changed it out today, and Stormy went to use it right away. Miss Sadi had wandered to her spot already, and gave me a couple meows when I walked by her. "Hey, I'm right here!" I came back, of course, and sat with her to pamper her a bit. Stormy went back and forth to go nibble a bit or to lay by her window. Sadi went in to go eat just before I left.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy came and met me in the kitchen again. Just as she was headed to the dining room, I quickly scooped her up and gave her her medicine. Her lip looks good and seems to be getting there. I sent her on her way and finished getting their food together. I called her and she trotted along behind me to go eat. Sadi was busy napping under the foot of the bed. I got her up for her medicine time. She did well and her eye cloudiness seems to be continuing to improve. I set her down and she made her way to the living room instead of eating for now. She went and sat in her spot. Stormy went to her usual spot as well and sunned herself while she groomed. Sadi just closed her little eyes and leaned into my hands while I scratched her itchy chin. Later, I put her back in their room so she could eat a bit.

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

This morning the pups were bouncing up and down to greet me. I was happy to see that Hunter did well overnight. I let the three kiddos outside while I got their breakfast ready. They came in after a little while to eat. Since Hunter did well, I fed him his normal breakfast. He ate every bit of it. Miss Riley took a little convincing. I set her bowl on the floor and hand fed her a few pieces. Eventually, she started eating on her own and finished off almost all of it. She walked away when she was finished, and Sadie decided to eat some of her leftovers. Once Sadie was done, I let the pups all play outside for a little longer. They will be very happy to see their parents come home!

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

The pups were so excited this morning when I walked in the door! Hunter was giving me his "I wanna play fetch" bark and even ran over to the pantry. I let them all outside for awhile and did some cleaning. Hunter had another accident overnight. Poor boy! I got to work on that while they did their business outside. I came a couple times this afternoon to give Hunter an extra potty break, just in case. He sure wanted to play his game, but unfortunately for him, not today. He did well this afternoon and didn't have any more accidents. This evening I walked in to some happy puppies! And not any accidents... woohoo! I think we might be in the clear. Riley grabbed Hunter's red ball that he had brought inside the other day, and was prancing around with it. I let all three pups outside for their bedtime potty break. When they were ready to come in, Sadie got her meds. I fed the girls and gave Hunter about half of his normal meal to start with. If he does well overnight, then I think he'll be all better and can handle his normal meals again. We'll see! He gobbled his food right up, and the girls both worked away at theirs as well. As I was switching the tvs, Riley curled up on the bed. I've been trying to keep putting the blankets back on the bed, but she keeps pulling them off again. Silly girl!

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy came all the way to the door to see me right away. She started meowing at me. Then, she eas rubbing up against my legs and even gave me a little lick! I guess she wants her breakfast. I got out her meds and gave that before getting their food ready. Her lip is still looking pretty good, not a whole lot different than it has been. She followed along to go eat right away. As I walked in, I saw Sadi was busy eating some dry food. I put the bowls down and turned her to one so she'd get some of that. Stormy didn't seem quite as ravenous this morning. She just ate a little, then wandered off. Sadi got a good amount of the canned food today. I let her eat until she was finished, and changed out their litter in the meantime. She got her meds next. Her eye looks like its starting to clear up a bit today. When we finished, Sadi wandered out to the living room. She found a sunny spot and sat there to wait for me. Stormy found her own spot by the table. Sadi enjoyed her pets and brushes as always!

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

This morning a sleepy Hunter met me at the door. The girls came wandering out from the bedroom. They did their thing while I got breakfast ready. They came inside and Hunter ate his food. The girls weren't really interested, even with my encouragement. Hunter wanted to play after he finished, and kept standing over by where his toy was "hidden" and would bark. "C'mon, its right in here. Let's play!" This afternoon Hunter sure knew what time it was! He was bouncing up and down and barking excitedly. I let them all out while I grabbed his ball. We played a long game of fetch until he was getting warm. We headed in for him to cool off a bit, and went out again later. Riley was being all silly and was carrying Sadie's food dish around again. She wasn't eating the food, but was just taking the dish to different spots and playfully pushing it around! We headed outside again for awhile. I noticed Hunter had a bit of diarrhea and made sure to give him some extra time out there. This evening I walked in and noticed Hunter had had a booboo in the house. I put the pups outside quick, then got started on picking up. When they were all watching me through the window, I let them in and got their dinner ready. I went back to cleaning and later gave the pups one more potty break before bedtime.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning I walked in and started mixing some food for the girls. Stormy heard me and came wandering in from the patio. She came in the kitchen and started rubbing up against my legs. She was quite talkative this morning too! I guess she was a hungry girl. I gave her dose of medicine quick, then she followed me with the bowls of food. She got right to work, while I went to get Sadi. Sadi was snoozing away under the foot of the bed. I got her all cleaned up and gave her her medicine as well. I sat her down by the food and she turned around and headed for her spot in the living room. She purred away while she was brushed. Sadi rubbed her head against my arm or knee while I got her back. She's such a cutie pie! Stormy was grooming herself and laying in the sunlight coming through the windows. She eventually wandered off to the bedroom again. I took Sadi back in by the food before I left, and Stormy growled at her! I noticed Stormy had already eaten almost all the canned food from both bowls (I had even given them some extra today). So, Sadi went back out to the living room. I grabbed a bowl and got some more food in it and placed it in front of Sadi. She ate a good amount of that.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Blackie & Sparkles

This morning Blackie wandered off to explore when I opened the door for him. I saw Sparkles in the kitchen when I walked in. She made sure to stay out of the way when I let the pups out. Once all three were out doing their business, I came in to get their breakfast ready. Sparkles was following me around and meowing at me. She was quite talkative today! I stopped to give her a little attention. Then, I went out to bring the little ones back in and dry their feet off. They came in and everyone got to work on their breakfast. Sparkles sat with me for a few back scratches, until Hudson finished and took over her spot! Zel finished and decided to chew on her bone a bit. When Gabbie was done, she hopped up on the couch behind me and was trying to crawl on top of my head! After they all had a chance to get a drink, they got to go out and play for awhile. Blackie came back to visit me this time.

Hudson, Zel, Gabbie, Blackie & Sparkles

This evening I headed inside and Blackie wandered over to say hi. I pet him for a minute before going in to see the little ones. They were all bouncing around in their beds when they heard me! I let all three out for a quick potty break before dinner. Hudson did his thing, then was ready to go in and eat. Everyone polished off their bowls pretty quick tonight! Hudson and I sat in the living room while the girls finished. First, he stood on my lap, then he hopped on the couch behind me to give me a good sniff on top of my head. After a yummy snack, we all went back outside for awhile. Blackie got one too! The pups spent quite awhile exploring out in the back. Hudson was sitting and listening to the drums we could hear in the distance. Then, he heard a dog and went racing to the other side of the yard. Eventually, it was time to head inside for bed.

Riley, Hunter & Sadie

This morning I came in to see some sleepy puppies! They were walking over too see me, but not quite as amped up as usual. It looks like all three had been snoozing in the bedroom. They went outside while I got their breakfast ready. Riley and Hunter were peering in at me when they were ready to come inside. I gave Sadie her medicine, then told everyone to go eat their breakfast. Riley sat under the table by me, so I set her bowl down right in front of her. I gave her a few little pieces, then she got to eating on her own. Hunter and Sadie were already working on theirs, so no one needed much help from me today. Everyone ate very well! This afternoon the big pups met me at the door and we made our way out back. Riley had fun rolling around in the grass a bit. Hunter and Sadie wandered around and checked things out. This evening Hunter and Riley were waiting for me and were super excited this time! I think Hunter was wanting to play fetch again. They went outside for their potty break. Sadie was ready for her treat when she came in! She was following me around and giving me her big puppy dog eyes. I tossed a little piece of treat in each of their bowls after that. That got them all started on their dinner too. Riley made me laugh tonight. Apparently, food tastes so much better in someone else's bowl. She decided to go eat out of Sadie's dish, then carried it into the dining room to finish off. So, I dumped more of her food into that bowl, and she did that a few more times! Silly girl.
