Giblet & the kitties

This morning I let Giblet outside. She bounced around in the snow for a bit, and did some exploring. When she came in, she was full of energy. She tried to chase after the kitties a bit. I got her some breakfast, and she got some yummy canned food this morning. As I opened the can, Oreo, Xavier and Skylar all wandered into the kitchen. I guess Gibs was sharing this morning! Oreo snuck bites out of her bowl, then took them elsewhere to eat. Silly cat! We spent some time in the living room after she finished. She got to play outside again a little longer before I left. This afternoon Gibs was talking to the neighborhood outside. Skylar came over for some attention. She purred away! When Giblet came back in, she laid by me for some belly rubs. Once she moved to a different spot, the kitties surrounded me. Oreo sat in my lap, then I was petting Skylar and Xavier on either side. This evening Giblet went outside, but came back in pretty quick. She was being silly tonight. She ran and leapt onto the couch. Later, she sat in front of me and kept sneaking some kisses! She went back outside to play a little while again before bedtime.

Tilly, Rita, Daisy & kitties

This evening Daisy came up to me when I walked in. When she realized it wasn't who she thought it was, she took off. She ran to hide by Tilly's cage. I grabbed out her leash and knelt down nearby. She was acting a little shy, but didn't object to me putting her harness on. Once that was on, we went outside for a quick walk. It was pretty cold out, and I wasn't sure if she would venture out into the snow or not. After we walked a little ways, she did, and went potty for me. Then, we walked quickly back to the house. I let Tilly and Rita out for their potty breaks next. Tilly came in and was prancing around with her toy. I made sure the kitties had enough food and water, then I put everyone to bed.

Flax

This morning I walked in and saw Flax was lounging on his bed. Boney was in there too, and he quickly hopped up, not sure yet what to think of me. He quickly made up his mind and came wandering over for some attention. I went inside to feed the fish and get them some fresh water. Boney hopped right up and started chowing down on his breakfast! I got Flax some food too, then stopped to pet him a bit. I went to the barn to give Booty some food as well, but I didn't see him in there. This afternoon I walked in and saw the cutest thing!! Boney was all snuggled up with Flax on his bed. They looked so cute and cozy. I got them some more water, then went to visit with them. I had gloves on, which Boney thought were pretty interesting. He sniffed at them a bit, then tried swatting at my fingers, like they were toys. He wasn't quite sure what to do. Haha! As I left, Flax wandered outside to see me off. This evening, Flax was already in the driveway. He came up to the car to see who was here. Flax came in the garage with me and laid on his bed. I got them both some more food for the evening. I plugged in and turned on both heaters for Flax, since it was getting chilly out.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I let Zoie outside first. She was busy playing out in the snow and didn't want to come in for a bit. Sadie and Cole went out next. Cole does his thing and hurries back inside. Even he was a little cold and shivery this morning! When they came in I fed them all their breakfast. Everyone ate well. Then, we played a little in the living room. This afternoon I let Sadie out first, since she was closest to the door. She was busy exploring for awhile, so I let the little ones out back. Zoie was having a blast! The snow was up to her chest, so she was hopping along around the yard. Cole was even being playful out there for a bit. I dried everyone off once they came in. I grabbed a tennis ball and bounced it around for Cole, since he was being goofy. He wound run after it and pounce on it! Pretty good for not being able to see well. Zoie was content chewing on her bone. But then, she stole our tennis ball! This evening, the pups all did their business. They ate their dinners pretty quick too. We sat in the living room for a bit before bedtime. Cole wanted his heiny scratched, while Sadie was busy giving me kisses.

Giblet & the kitties

This morning there was quite a bit more snow on the ground. I came in and let Giblet out right away. She hopped around in the snow and checked things out, before coming inside. I got her and the kitties their breakfast. Oreo came and warmed up my lap for me, as I scratched Giblet's belly. Giblet went to play outside again for awhile before I left. This afternoon, Gibs met me at the door, carrying her teddy and wiggling her heiny! She went outside and the kitties made their way to the living room. Skylar wandered over to be pet a little. Oreo and Xavier messed around after Gibs came back in. Giblet went from spot to spot, laying and rolling around. She would come over and snuggle up to me now and then for her tummy rubs. This evening Gibs came to the front hall, carrying her squeaky toy. I had to have her leave it before she went outside. She played in the snow for a little bit. When she came in, I wiped all the snow off that was stuck to her paws. She hopped up on the couch to lounge for awhile. Oreo helped himself to my lap and purred the whole time. Skylar came in and sprawled out on the table by the door. She gave me a quiet little meow as I pet her. Gibs went to play outside again before bedtime. Since Oreo had gone to eat, Xavier came trotting over for his turn for some attention.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning there was a few inches of snow on the ground! I let Zoie and Cole out first. Zoie hopped along and got right in the snow. Cole stood there for a minute, trying to get his bearings. He wasn't quite sure where to go at first, but he quickly found his way. He had a little snow beard when he came back in! Haha!  Sadie went out last, and she sat out there for a few minutes, not seeming to mind the weather. When they were done, I got everyone their breakfast. This afternoon, all the pups went out to do their business. When they came in, it was time to play! Sadie was bouncing around and sneaking kisses as I tried to sit down. Cole was pawing at me for his heiny scratches, then rolling around again. Zoie was busy play growling at me from across the room, then bringing her Frisbee over for a game of tug. The few times I snuck it away from her, we got to play a little fetch. This evening everyone was ready to go outside. They all had some fun while they were out there! I wiped all the little toe icicles off and dried their tummies. Sadie was all full of energy. She and Zoie wrestled around for awhile after their dinner. When it was time, I tucked them all in for bed.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I let each of the pups outside when I arrived. When they came in and got dried off, it was time for breakfast. I put them all in their beds to eat. Since no one really seemed to be hungry, I put their food up and let them out to play. Sadie was attached to me the whole time. Zoie got her Frisbee and brought it over to play tug for awhile. This afternoon I let them all out again. Cole went out to the yard on his own, without any help. The cold air made them kind of spunky! Sadie came to sit by me right away. The other two joined shortly after, and were all demanding attention. I didn't have enough hands! Sadie and Cole were standing on either side, pawing at me if I stopped petting them. And Zoie was in the middle, placing her Frisbee in my lap, then picking it up and flopping it down again if I didn't grab it! Cole was being silly too. He was doing the happy heiny dance when I scratched his back end. Then, he rolled around on the floor awhile. Haha! This evening there was snow on the ground. I let the girls out front, and Cole out back. Cole did his thing, then came right back in. Sadie actually wanted to sit out and enjoy the cool air a bit longer than the others. I got them their dinners next. Zoie must have been hungry, because she polished off her bowl pretty quick! Cole got his second dose of medication before bed.

Giblet & the kitties

This morning Giblet did a great big stretch, then bounced her way to the living room to get her teddy. She dropped it by the door when it was time to go out. She didn't stay out long on this cold morning! When she got back in, she waited in the kitchen, while I got her breakfast ready. She got her yummy canned food again, so she worked on eating most of it right away. I sat in the living room while she ate. Oreo came and cozied up on my lap. Muss Skylar came out and wanted some attention. She was a lovey girl today! When Gibs returned, she went to go sit in the window and look outside. This afternoon it was still so cold out! The sleet had just started. Gibs went out for a few minutes and came back in. She got lots of tummy scratches this afternoon. She even groaned, like, "Aaahh that's the spot!" When I let her out again, Skylar and Xavier came by me to be pet. This evening it was snowing out! Giblet went out and was racing around. When she came in, she hopped right over me, while I was trying to dry her paws. She was all spunky! She then proceeded to pounce after any of the cats that were in her vicinity. Haha! I let her play outside a couple more times this evening. She seems to like the snowy weather!

Sadi & Stormy

This morning the girls were snuggled in their spot on the chair again, nice and cozy on a chilly morning. I got their food ready, then I stole Sadi away from Stormy for a bit. She got her meds and I cleaned her up. When we went to our spot, I grabbed the brush, along with a mouse toy. Sadi sat by me to be brushed, while I had Stormy entertained with the mouse. She was going crazy! I grabbed the sock toy as well. She laid on her back, rolling around, swatting and kicking at it. I guess she was in a very playful mood this morning! When it was time, I took Sadi in by the food again to eat.

Sadie, Zoie & Cole

This morning I let everyone out one by one. I put Zoie out front to go potty, then I got Cole and took him in the backyard. He stood on the patio awhile, and wasn't up for any attempt at convincing him to get off and into the grass. I had to pick him up and take him over there. Then, he went potty for me. I wiped paws off, then it was Sadie's turn out front. Once they were all inside, we sat in the living room awhile. Sadie sat directly in front of me and snuck in her kisses. Zoie was busy gathering up all the toys she could! Cole had wandered off to the bedroom. Later, I went to see what he was up to. He was just taking a snooze in his bed. Before I left I checked to see if anyone had to go out again. This afternoon Sadie and Zoie met me in the laundry room when I came in. I sent them out on the line, and took Cole out back again. I walked with him to the edge of the patio, then he hopped off on his own. He was being so silly! After he finished his business, he was looking at me and hopping from side to side. He was either trying to dodge something I couldn't see, or was trying to get me to play! I made some silly noises and jumped down lower and that got him going again. It made me laugh! We all played inside awhile again. Zoie actually wanted me to play this time. She brought a frisbee over and placed it in my hand, while continuing to keep her hold on it. We played tug until she was tired. Sadie was sitting in her spot, right up in front of me again. She's so funny. I sent everyone out back for one last potty break before I left, since no one had dirty paws earlier. This evening, Zoie was bouncing up and down at my legs when I walked in. I let everyone out for their potty break. Once paws were cleaned, they headed in and I got them their dinner, and Cole his medicine. I sat by Sadie's bed while she was in there, and she started to eat after a minute. She polished her bowl clean pretty quick! Once they were done, it was back outside again for awhile.
