Abby, Maggie, Reese & Zoey

Abby was carrying around the big yellow stuffed dog earlier, too funny! I think it is bigger than she is, but she was intent on taking it in her crate and warned the others that it was her toy and to leave her around. Zoey and I of course played with Moo (our visit wouldn't be complete without Moo). Reese was snuggly tonight. A couple weeks ago I wouldn't have thought it possible! Maggie is always the first to snuggle. Her happy doggy dance just makes my day.

Boom & Flash

Flash cracks me up with his silly antics. He is such an acrobat! Boom & I watched the deer eating out of the feeder while Flash talked to them. They both send lots of purrs and kisses.

Pixie & Puca

Today was the first time that Puca was not there to greet me at the door. Oh no, I have become the "She is here to give me icky medicine" person! Thankfully he doesn't really seem to hold it against me. As you see in the shot of Pixie, she was trying to help me hurry up with the canned food :)

Flash

Flash is doing great, she is still a bit shy around me but is coming around day by day. I tried to get a picture for you but as soon as she saw the camera, she took off. Ah well, hopefully I can be a bit more sly tomorrow ;)
She sends lots of headbutts and purrs.

Indi, Kili, Koa & Kai

The girls kept me entertained all week long by sliding along the floor, chasing the laser :) Indi was all the way out from underneath the bed today and didn't go scampering back under. In fact, she looked at me and meowed for me to hurry up with her food! They all told me how excited they are to see you and snuggle with their human.

Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone! I hope your holidays were very merry & bright. Just a little update to let all know that our sitter, Britany, was in a car accident. While she is doing ok, she is off work so she can recover. I will be taking over all of her scheduled visits so rest assured that all of your furry loved ones are in loving hands.

At this time, I am unable to update the blog each night. Please feel free to give me a call to check in if you would like to see how they are doing. I am still taking pictures each day that I am more than happy to text or email to you if you would like.

Thanks for your understanding!

Indy, Kai, Kili & Koa

Oh my goodness, thank you for all the goodies! YUM!
The girls are great. We had a blast playing with the laser, everyone but Indy played. Indy continues to venture out from under the bed, at least long enough to eat and no more growling. I don't think she will let me pet her any time soon but it is a vast improvement over where we started. Kili was her usual snuggly self of course. Meowy Christmas from the girls.

Flash & Boom

I just have to say how much I loove Flash and Boom, they are such darling kitties- entertaining too! Flash was right there at the door when I walked in, chattering away. Boom was not sure about things at first but as soon as I opened the canned cat food, he came running and after that I was his bestest buddy :)

Bogey, Eli & Gypsy

The boys were very silly and snuggly today. Eli found a large branch in the yard that he had to carry around. I tried to politely explain to him that that was not the best toy to throw for him to play fetch with but he insisted on carrying it around, silly boy.

Pixie & Puca

Well Puca decided that he had to "christen" the litter box since I just cleaned it and all is well :) Pixie and I were treated to a herd of deer in the backyard and we sat and watched them nibble while Pixie chattered at them.

Mommy, Beetle, Gigi & Tiger

It appeared that some critter came in and helped themselves last night so Mommy got all new vittles. She continues to come up when I arrive but hasn't let me pet her...yet...
The little ones (ha! not so little but) have been pretty shy but they are eating well and all is good. Only kitty blurs but I expected that.

Idgy, Jellobee, Leo & Napoleon

Idgy actually came and sat in my lap today! I wanted to get a picture but I know if I did, it would scare her off but it was awesome!! Napoleon has been having lots of fun bounding around in the snow :) They all say Meowy Christmas and can't wait to see you.

Bogey, Eli & Gypsy

I missed everyone sooo much! I got lots of sloppy Bogey and Eli kisses while Gypsy did decide that she would come out and say hello for a few minutes. Bogey insisted on having quality lap/snuggle time to which I was happy to oblige :)

Pixie & Puca

The first visit went great! Puca was the first one to greet me, right at the front door. Pixie was quick to follow though. All looks well and no signs of distress from Puca but will be keeping an eagle eye out.

Mommy, Beetle, Gigi & Tiger

Well, Mommy surprised me by not only showing up at the first visit, but coming right up and sniffing me as well. She has not let me pet her but has been present at each visit! Tiger has also come out, albeit briefly but Beetle & Gigi are still playing hide and seek. Hopefully I will be able to snag a picture of one of them but don't want to traumatize them with a flash. No coons or other critters getting into any food :)

Idgy, Jellobee, Leo & Napoleon

Well well, Leo allowed a picture of himself today! I think it was due to the fact of knowing I was on my way up to refresh the food but I'll take it :) Idgy continues to make progress with overcoming any shyness thanks to Napoleons presence.

Max & Zoey

Max & Zoey were very excited today as they got to see Britany. She tells me they had a wonderful time playing together. They also asked if you would bring home some of the warmth with you. As much fun as they are having in the snow, they would like to roll in the grass again!

Simba & Mufasa

The boys were very snuggly again today :) All is well and I am loving spending time with them!

Idgy, Jellobee, Leo & Napoleon

Napoleon was a riot tonight. As you can see, we played and played until she dropped. Idgy was of course too dignified to act so silly ;) Jellobee was his usual lovey self and even Leo came out for a brief moment to say hello. They all send lots of kisses!

Max & Zoey

Max and Zoey did a thorough search of the yard again today. Confounded rabbit is still giving them the slip (which I am very thankful of)! They seem to be having a great time trying to find it though :) 

Simba & Mufasa

They boys did great on our first visit. We snuggled on the couch, played with the mouse and watched birds out the window. I am in love! I don't know who is sweeter. They both send lots of purrs and kisses and hope you are having a wonderful time.

Zena and the wild and crazy fun kitty crew!

I am just shocked that each visit, all of the kitties are coming up to say hello! Of course, hearing the can being opened doesn't hurt! Z was a total lap dog today, sitting belly up for scritches. They all say they miss you and can't wait to snuggle when you get home.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Simon was feeling rather frisky today and had a great time playing with the feather, until Hobbes joined in and took his toy away ;) The girls were their usual selves and got lots of scritches. They all send lots of purrs!

Max & Zoey

Max, Zoey and I had so much fun today! We were rolling around on the floor, jumping around and just plain acting goofy. I got a quick shot of Zoey today but as you can tell, she is convinced that the camera is going to eat her, silly girl. Hope you are having lots of fun in the sun, we are expecting more snow in a couple of days...

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Well Hobbes was the first one to greet me at the door today :) I don't think Hallee was too happy about that, she kept shooting him daggers and telling him she didn't want to share the canned food. Simon came out for a bit of scritches and to play with the feather while Lizzie enjoyed a quick pat before hunkering back down in her haven.

Zena and the adorable kitty crew!

The kitties all continue to come out and be sociable, each and every one of them :) Z as always has me in stitches, she is such a sucker for those belly rubs! I think I like this newest picture even better than last years licking snow off her nose. As you can see, I caught her in mid run to catch her toy.

Max & Zoey

There must have been a bunny hanging out under the pines last night because both Max and Zoey went nuts trying to find it. I have seen several in the yard! We are having a great time as usual, and I think I am going to have to make a recording of Max's trilling bark for my phone, it is too cute!

Zena & the kitty crew

Zena and I have been having a blast playing in the snow! As you can tell by the look on her face, keep away has been the game of choice :) The kitties are all doing great, all come running when it is time for food.
They all send lots of love and kisses.

Lily

I snapped a silly video of Lily drinking out of the sink and then being a watchkitty but have not been able to upload it for you. Hmmm, must research so you can see how cute she was :)

Bip & Bo

It is so good to see the boys again! They both seemed to enjoy the cooler weather and then snuggle time to warm back up. Bo tried to snitch Bip's dinner when he wasn't looking ;) The boys send lots of tail wags and kisses.

Max & Zoey

Another fun day of playing in the snow! As you can see, Max is relaxing and enjoying all the attention.

Abby, Maggie, Reese & Zoey

The girls are doing great, Maggie is my constant companion and Abby & Zoey are close behind :) Tonight's visit with Reese was better, I am hoping by weeks end, we will be the best of buddies! It was snowing this evening but not enough to bother the puppers too much. I think the cold was worse, I don't think I have ever seen someone pee quite so quickly! They all send lots of kisses and tail wags and said that they miss you but hope you are having fun!

Buttercup, Cheeto, Mouser & G-pigs

Everyone is all snussled in toasty and warm for the night. Buttercup has been very good about taking his meds and Cheeto waits patiently for his bit of cheese. Mouser decided that she wanted a bit of lovins tonight which made my day :) The piggys were of course very excited to get their treats and tolerated a brief pat.

Cheeto, Buttercup, Mouser & the piggys

The boys were very happy today! Lots of snorts and tail wags which made my day. The piggys were all squeals when it came time for treats and chowed down with gusto. Mouser was a bit shy and felt like hiding under the bed for most of the visit but came out for a brief pat.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Simon and I had a breakthrough today :) He was all sorts of lovey and wanting affection!! Yea, he was the lone holdout. All kitties are doing great and can't wait to see you.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Well, Simon watched the feather and almost came out from under the bed, here's to hoping tomorrow I can tempt him to do so. You could see in his face he wanted to and I so badly want a cute photo of him! Lizzie was all meows while I was opening the can of food, telling me I was too slow and to hurry up before the others realized what time it was.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Well Hobbes decided to be very friendly today :) Wanted all sorts of lovins and even let me take a picture, though you can tell he's not too sure about the camera! All the kitter cats are good and no closet issues, whew!

Emily

I think Emily shocked me right out of my boots today! She was resting on the bed when I came in. She let me snap a picture of her for you and even came over to sniff me- YEA!! Though she didn't want me to pet her, I was very honored that she was interested, even a little bit.

Emma & Otto

Hmmm, I am most certainly getting a complex today. It seems like all the households I have visited with kitties today are shy :( Emma was rather friendly this morning but not up for much interaction this evening. Otto was...well...Otto...  Everybody was good about pills though, so I consider it a successful day!

Danika & Badger

Danika decided to test my heart strength today! Usually she comes running when I open the front door and today she was nowhere to be found. I looked all over, calling her name. I finally found her fast asleep in her cat bed upstairs. She totally gave me the "What? What do you look so worried for?" look. After her nap, she was ready for some playtime and lots of lovins of course! Badger was at least in his usual hiding spot and didn't run in abject terror :)

Lia

Lia was in her behind the picture frames hiding spot today so no chance of a picture :( She did give a quick meow? of greeting though, so I was quite thrilled with that!

Lia

Miss Lia was doing good, hiding in her usual spot so no pictures today. I would love to get a full shot of her for you (and me!) one day!

Keiso

Awww, I always dread the last visits! Keiso was his usual happy-go-lucky self, full of kisses and tail wags. I sure am going to miss him :( Talk to you soon!

Keiso

I can't believe this week flew by so fast! It was icky out today, cold & windy, so Keiso and I snuggled and played inside after his potty break. He cracks me up. He had the zoomies and we chased eachother around the house. I didn't get a pic today but here is yesterday's since I missed the update last night.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

The kitties are anxiously awaiting your return :) Hallee decided to  "help" today and follow me into each room to make sure I was cleaning up to her standards. She even tried to help a bit by jumping in the litterbox. Silly girl! Hobbes was on his perch watching all the goings on while Simon & Lizzie stayed in their usual spot. They all send lots of purrs and kisses.

Keiso

Keiso was of course wonderful today as always. It was still nice out when I got there this morning so we hung out in the backyard for a bit. He of course followed us all over the house as well :) Oh and Paul said yes, so give me a call when you get back in town!

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

We had a heck of a storm earlier but thankfully the northern parts of the city didn't get hit as bad. The kitties were all snussled in, snug as a bug when I got there earlier. The storm didn't seem to bother them at all. Hallee gobbled all the canned food before Simon & Hobbes came downstairs. I'm glad I only set the small can out. Managed to get a quick picture of Lizzie. Not the greatest shot as she didn't feel like coming out but I am happy she felt up for one today :)

Keiso

Hee hee, I got to spend snuggly and playtime with Keiso today :) He sure does know how to cheer me up! You can see what a ham he is in his picture today. Ohh and Paul is coming to look tomorrow so send lots of positive vibes!! Hope you are having a great trip!

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

All is well with the kitty crew :) I think I am going to try camping out on the couch for a bit tomorrow afternoon with a book and see if anyone besides Hallee feels like snuggling- fingers crossed! Maybe then I can get a picture for you. Everyone sends lots of purrs and kisses.

Jake & Toby

During the afternoon playtime, I got to see how Toby falls over and lets Jake be the top dog like you described. What a sweet and smart boy! They were very snuggly today and full of kisses :) This morning was quite brisk but that didn't bother the boys at all, in fact, I think they loved it.

Awww, look at that sweet face!

Idgy, Jellobee, Leo & Napoleon

Awww, the girls are adorable with their new haircuts! Everyone was snuggly tonight with the exception of Leo. I am still amazed at how much the addition of Napoleon has gotten Idgy out of her shell, she is like a different dog!

Taz, Winston, Tinker & Reggie

Another beautiful fall day out :) The boys are all doing great and enjoying lots of scritches and belly rubs. Found out how Tinker was dumping the removable steel bowl, pretty ingenious. He stepped under it and bonked his head to move it. All the puppers were quite happy as he threw food for them. I did manage to fill the normal bowl so he seems much happier with that.

Jake & Toby

A bit of winter in the air here tonight, our evening walk was a bit chilly but smelled of fall which was great. The boys did wonderful today. Much frolicking and scritches. During the afternoon visit we played chase in the backyard and I managed to snap the boys playing. They are too adorable!

Taz, Winston, Tinker & Reggie

I played some music on my phone for Tinker today and we danced to the music :) It seems that extra visit did the trick, no accidents during the day and I know Taz loved the extra ball time! I startled poor Reggie earlier, he was so sound asleep, he didn't hear me walk in. Winston got in on the ball action today and was one happy puppers :)

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

No pictures again :( Hallee is the only one who doesn't seem afraid of it and usually all I catch is a blur as she comes up for some lovins! I am dying to get a shot of Simon, he is such a beautiful kitty. Everyone is doing great, though I know they miss you and can't wait to see you.

Lizzie, Hallee, Simon & Hobbes

Hallee comes running as soon as I open the front door with the most adorable trilling meow hello :) The other kitties are not as into being social but everyone is at least making an appearance. I do wish Hobbes would "hide" on top of the curio again though, I would love to be able to snap a picture of him up there! Lizzie and Simon prefer the comfort of their usual spot but Lizzie makes sure to give a sniff and allow a pat or two each visit.

Taz, Winston, Tinker & Reggie

Tinker is having a blast while you are gone- yesterday he had fun flinging his food and bowl and earlier today he took much delight in shredding the paper. He is way to cute to get upset at though, you have to love those clownish antics :) Taz, Winston & Reggie are all doing great and seemed very excited to see your parents. Taz had me wrapped around his paw with the ball playing, although I sneak outside with Winston sometimes so he can play fetch too.

Indi, Kai, Kili & Koa

Koa was quite the snuggler tonight, Kili was not quite sure of what to make of someone else sitting on the lap she wanted. Kai was in a talkative mood :)

Indi, Kai, Kili & Koa

Both Kili & Koa were quite the snuggle bugs tonight! Kai wanted some lovins too, but Kili didn't want to share so I snuggled with her a bit once Kili wandered off. Everyone misses you and send lots of kisses and purrs!

Taz, Winston, Tinker & Reggie

Everyone is doing great :) Winston hasn't had any seizures that I can tell, he is always wags when I walk in. Taz of course is a mad man for any fetch and Reggie is loving all the attention. Tinker decided he wanted to throw food at me tonight, goofy bird. Taz was quite happy about it though!

Taz, Winston, Tinker & Reggie

Another beautiful day to play outside! Everyone got lots of scritches and lovins along with a treat or two. Tinker decided to talk today, he said Reggie's name and startled me quite a bit! I even looked around at who was calling for him.
