Bradford, ZZ, Heighty & the gang

This morning Moody was meowing at the door when he heard me coming. He followed me to the back door, hopping on any surface to get closer to me. The pups were just waking up to come say hi. Sugar and Bradford were both bouncing around next to me. Heighty stood nearby, with the dog I now call Freckles (since I still don't know her name). Lol. The only one I didn't see was ZZ. I called for him several times, but he didn't show. I started to walk around the side of the house to see if he was there. Still no sign. I poked open the doggie door on the shed and looked inside. I called for him again, then I saw the blanket wiggling. He worked his way out and was happy to see me too. Phew! I guess he was sleeping pretty good. But, he did have the right idea. It was chilly and gloomy outside this morning. Perfect day for a nap! I checked Moody's food and water before I left. This evening Moody was right at the door waiting for me. I stopped to pet him a bit, before I went to check on the pooches. This time ZZ was the first to run up and greet me! They started working on their dinners after they were done saying hi. I spent a little time with Moody too. He stood on the counter and purred away, enjoying his chin scratches.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today Kimmie was at the top of the kitty tower, just lounging. Jerrie was cozy and warm on his blanket on this chilly, rainy afternoon. I stopped by and visited with mom for a bit. Then, I took care of the kitties' things, before it was their turn. I went to see Kimmie. She only cracked one eye open when I walked in. I guess she was still sleepy. I pet and brushed her for a little while. Then, I went to see Jerrie, who was still in his chair. I sat on the edge next to him. He got up right away and started walking around by me, purring away. He made sure I brushed each side, and his little chin too. He enjoyed his attention time for quite awhile.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty met me in the kitchen, as usual. I let Ruby out and she raced down the hall, then zoomed to the back door. She was hopping up and down for me to open it! The pups meandered outside for a bit, did their business, then headed inside. I sat down on the couch and both pups were excited to say hi. Lance hopped up in my lap and started to purr. Then, he gave me a love bite on my arm! Little goober. Luckily, I had a sweatshirt on, so I didn't feel anything. I guess he was ready for playtime. I had him hopping around after his toy for awhile. I think the turtles were watching. Haha!

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I walked in and didn't see anyone in the front room. As I made my way in, I spotted Jerrie all snuggled up on the chair in the living room. Kimmie appeared behind me from somewhere and did a big stretch. She followed me to the kitchen, while I sorted the mail. After I took care of their things, Jerrie stood up from his chair, ready for his brushing! Kimmie was already waiting in the front room. The kitties both sat by me for a few minutes to be pet or brushed. Then, Jerrie wandered off. Kimmie hopped up to the top of her tower for a bit. She allowed me to brush her, then we played. I went to go see what Jerrie was up to, and he was just sitting in the living room. I sat in the chair and he came to sit in my lap for awhile.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning Stormy hopped up quickly from her spot on the bed, and began meowing at me. I guess someone was a hungry girl! Sadi was already in there, getting a drink. The girls worked on breakfast for awhile. Sadi got her morning meds when she was finished. She was pretty clear today and didn't sound very congested. I took her to the living room for awhile. Stormy went back to bed I think, because she didn't come out to visit this time. Sadi sat and purred away, enjoying her pamper time. The girls snacked a little more on their breakfast before I left. This evening, both girls were sleeping soundly when I got there. Stormy was on the back of the couch again tonight, and woke up when I walked in. She got a couple chin scratches before I went to see Sadi. Sadi was all curled up in her bed. I pet her to wake her up and she gave a little purr-meow. She got her evening medicine and eye ointment. The girls did well this week.

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Rusty and Lance both wandered into the kitchen when I arrived. I let Ruby out, then the pups and I headed outside for awhile. The sun was nice and warm today. The pups were busy exploring around the yard. Rusty found his purple ball and dug that out of the leaves and snow. Later, we headed inside and went to see Lance. He sat on my lap for a minute, then was ready to play. Salem was in a playful mood today too! I could hear her messing around down the hallway. That even stopped Lance in his tracks! He stopped to listen, then slowly crept towards the hall to see what was going on.

Jerrie & Kimmie

Today I saw Jerrie sitting on the top of his kitty tower when I walked in. Kimmie came into the kitchen to see me, while I sorted the mail. She sat on the back of a chair to wait for me to return from stopping in by mom and tending to their things. Jerrie hopped down from his perch to come see me. He laid next to me and purred away as I brushed him. Miss Kimmie wandered in and stopped by me for a quick pet. She then took over Jerrie's spot on the top of their tower. Jerrie climbed up to the middle tier just before I left, to watch out the window.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning the girls were in their same spots that I've been finding them. Stormy got up and did a stretch as she made her way across the bed to see me. Sadi was snoozing in her bed, nice and comfy. I woke her up and got her ready for her meds. She got all cleaned up and sounded pretty good this morning. The girls both worked on their breakfast for awhile. When Sadi was finished, I took her to the living room. Stormy followed along. Sadi sat and enjoyed her brushing today. I had Stormy busy chasing and playing with the shoe string, until she eventually wandered off. This evening Stormy was on the back of the recliner. She has a different spot every time! Sadi was sleeping again. I got her little nosey all cleaned up and gave her her evening pills. I set her by the food and water when we were finished, in case she wanted a drink.

Sadi & Stormy

This morning the girls were both sleeping when I got there. Stormy was up on the bed and Sadi had her little bed all to herself. I woke up my little stuffy lady to get her her medicine. I got her cleaned up, then placed her by the food. Both girls were busy eating for awhile. Sadi ate almost half the bowl in one sitting! Guess she was a hungry girl. I took her out to the living room when she was done. But, she was trying to roam too much, and wouldn't sit by me to brush her. So, I took her back after a little bit. This evening Stormy was perched on the back of the couch, as usual. She meowed at me as I went by. Sadi was sitting up in her bed, awake this time. I picked her up and I could hear she was pretty stuffed up. I was able to get a bunch out tonight, so she sounded a lot better when we were done!

Rusty, Ruby & the kitties

Today Rusty and Ruby both went outside when I arrived. I cleaned up Ruby 's bed, while they did their thing. Lance was busy trying to get my attention while I was doing that! Haha. The pups wandered back in and sat by me on the couch. I snuggled with Lance until he decided to go after my toes again. That got me on the hunt for his toy pretty quick! That goofy cat was chasing after the mouse toy, then would plop down and play with Rusty's red ball or the white one. Rusty and I went outside later and it was actually pretty nice out. I saw all the mud that Rusty could run through, so I decided we'd hold off on the fetch today. That's ok though, because he was too busy exploring to even bring me his ball.
