Harley, Punkin & Squirt

Hee hee, I will let the video tell all :)

Bip & Bo

Whew, it was a hot one today! Thankfully this morning and evening were much better than the heat of the day. Bip & Bo are both enjoying being spoiled rotten. Bo was ready for a snooze after getting a doggy massage and belly rub :)

Flash

Flash and I played with the laser toy again and got lots of lovins :) He was his usual vocal self and was very good while I watered the plants.

Harley, Punkin & Squirt

Well color me surprised- Squirt ate dinner with no problems! It was a beautiful night out, Harley & Punkin played while Squirt tried to stay out of the way.

Flash

Flash was quite the silly kitty today. Running, jumping and lots of head butts :) He of course was quite excited for his canned kitty food and had no problem telling me in no uncertain terms that I was being far too slow in getting it for him!

Idgy, Jellobee, Leo & Napoleon

Idgy is such a different dog than she was before Napoleon came along! All the critters are doing great, even Leo was a good boy with his meds- let me carry him downstairs, very impressed :)

Bip & Bo

Oh it is so good to see the boys again! I have missed them sooo much. I was so lost in loving on them I forgot to take a picture for you, but will have one tomorrow. They send lots of love and tail wags!

Zena & the kitty crew

Aww, I just want to hug Zena and take all the icky away for her! She is hanging in there, still wagging her tail and giving kisses so that's good. The kitties are their usual selves, Callie always follows me no matter where I go :)

Bud, Gizmo & Shiloh

It was an icky, drizzly day out today but that didn't stop the pups from playing chase the squirrels! Everyone is being on their bestest behavior and enjoying lots of belly rubs. They all miss you bunches and send tail wags and kisses!

Bud, Gizmo & Shiloh

What a beautiful day today, the pups and I really enjoyed soaking in all the sun in it's glorious warmth! Gizmo is cracking me up with his little happy dances :)

Bentley & Rosie

Rosie is such the snugglebug :) Bentley of course then decided that it was his turn and tried to nose her out of the way! Thankfully the rain stopped for both visits today- yea!! As you can see, Bentley was feeling a bit camera shy and Rosie was very happy to have the spotlight. They send you lots of tail wags and kisses.

Bud, Gizmo & Shiloh

Gimzo is such the clown! We were playing in the yard earlier with the stick and he was convinced that he could carry the stick back like the "bigger" pups :) Shilo of course preferred to lounge around soaking in the bit of sun that was peeking through. Bud of course was mister mellow, all full of snuggles.

Mufasa & Simba

Kelsey got to visit with the boys today and is just as smitten with them as I am. The feeling seems to be mutual as they stuck to her like glue and loved all the tlc & scritches they got :)

Maggie

Maggie is quite content to snooze until it is time for her walk. Then she perks right up and wants to go over to see her "boyfriend" :) She has been doing great eating and taking her meds, we have only needed to add in a little pb to her food once. She sends lots of tail wags and kisses!

Chloe, Kele & the kitty crew

The rain held off this afternoon so the girls got a chance to go tearing around playing in the back yard. They are such a riot! I got some good snuggle time in with Cheerio and Herbie also, although Chloe was not to thrilled with the kitties that someone was stealing attention away from her ;)

Lily

Lily is being her usual royal self, so regal she is! I have to say she is always entertaining with how she wants me to turn the faucet on the second I walk through the door :) Only after that does she want some lovins!

The B crew

Boy do I wish I had Cooper & Bella's energy! Those two just crack me up while Max just looks at them like they are crazy. KC decided to make a brief appearance today- yea!! I haven't been able to get any good shots yet but hopefully tomorrow I will get a video up for you.

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Hallee is my official greeter and Hobbes is my official "helper" and follows me around to make sure everything is up to his standards. He of course always tried to sneak a taste of the food to see that it is good enough for the others to eat, so thoughtful of him! Simon knows something is up, he is being a bit more hidey cat that usual :( Lizzie must be feeling good though as she is coming out more and more often to eat while I am there.

Molly & Bo

Molly & Bo have been having such a great time getting lots of lovins, belly rubs and plenty of play time. Accidents are much fewer now and Bo has been able to be out of the crate for the most part- yea!! Everyone sends lots of love, piggies included :)

Molly & Bo

Molly & Bo are such great snugglers :) Both Krista and myself are having such a wonderful time with them and look forward to our visits each day. The piggies are doing fantastic as well, all excited squeaks when it is goodie time!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0EWTadIpf8&feature=player_profilepage

The B Crew

Everyone is keeping me in stitches! Cooper & Bella run circles around me outside, quite literally ;) Max is much more content to sniff around and check things out in the most dignified manner. The kitties have all made appearances and Molly has become my shadow. They all send lots of love and told me to tell you they miss you!

Maggie

Maggie has been doing great! We went for a mini walk this afternoon in the beautiful sun and warmth. She tuckered out after a couple houses and wanted to head back for a nap. We tried to get a close up shot but no such luck today. She has been eating well so Krista and I are pleased. She sends lots of tail wags and kisses :)

Kiera & Nala

Well, Nala is NOT happy with me for cleaning her ear today. She took it as a personal attack :( and went off in a huff, but at least came back up to me at the end of the visit. Kiera is her usual happy, purrful self! They miss you bunches and send lots of love.

Flash & Boom

Flash has decided that he really likes my hair and wanted to "style" it by chewing, silly boy! Boom came running as soon as he heard me open the canned food and even decided to pose for me today.

Kiera & Nala

The girls are doing great and I am thrilled that Nala didn't hold me having to medicate her against me :) It was another beautiful sunny day for us to soak in the sun's rays. The girls send you lots of purrs and headbutts.

Bo & Molly

It was such a perfect day out today! Bo, Molly and myself enjoyed playing in the yard while soaking up all the sun :) The piggies were all squeals of excitement when I gave them their veggies, too adorable. Bo took a few minutes to warm up the first visit but was a lap dog by the end of the visit.

Charlie

As you know, Charlie was feeling a bit on the stiff side today so I gave her a doggy massage in addition to the pain reliever. She was quite the happy girl!

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Wow, I can't believe how fast this trip went! As you can see, Hobbes was my "helper" again today- he is such a clown! Simon played peek-a-boo today with me on the steps, though as soon as I tried to snap a picture, he ran off :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx3YF0ZTU_0&feature=player_profilepage

Kiera & Nala

The kitty girls were good and it was wonderful to snuggle with Kiera again! Thankfully today was not medicine day so I got one day in where Nala was lovey towards me. I was quite happy that she was the first to greet me!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqWAqiEfpDU&feature=player_profilepage

Harley, Jae, Diamond & Sydney

We couldn't ask for a more perfect day today, sun and 63*! So of course that meant it was time to play outside as no one, myself included, wanted to be inside.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dNCx4BTQDk&feature=player_profilepage#t=0s

Annie, Penny and the wild kitty crew :)

Henry was HILARIOUS today! I came straight from riding my horse over to see everyone and Henry was just fascinated with the horsey smell. He followed me from room to room, quite literally, with his nose pressed up against my pants.
Penny, Annie & I spend most of the afternoon visit playing in the glorious sunshine. It was such a perfect day, you can tell from the video how much Annie is enjoying the weather!

http://www.youtube.com/user/scalestailsandpaws#p/a/u/0/NviJ1cTANTE

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

What a beautiful day to soak in the sun! Hobbes was laying in the beams all sprawled out but of course moved as soon as I tried to take a picture. Simon & I got in some chase and kill the feather time today, his favorite! Hope you have enjoyed your trip, everyone sends oodles of kisses and purrs.

Harley, Jae, Diamond & Sydney

It is so good to see the puppers again! I managed to time my afternoon visit with a oh so brief break in the rain so everyone was able to run off some energy :) We of course had lots of time for belly rubs and doggy massages as well. They all send lots of tail wags and kisses. I have a video for you but it is still uploading. I will add it on here once it is done.

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Hobbes was up to his old tricks again today. I turned my back to put in the food and off he scampers, trying to jump in the food container. He sure is a ham! Lizzie gave me what for for allowing Hobbes to get to the canned food treats before she could eat. I tried to convince Hobbes he was eating out of order but he didn't want to listen to either of us ;) Simon ventured down to snag a nibble as well but Lizzie felt like having a lie-in.

Lily

Hee hee, I caught Lily in mid paw waving. Not sure what she was trying to swat at, I think she may have seen a tiny speck or maybe an imaginary toy but it was too cute!

Annie, Penny & the kitty crew

Well, today we had rain, followed by rain and ending in...snow! Thankfully it is only a little but all the weather hampered our outdoor time today :( I caught Alistair upstairs waiting for me to open the door to Sophie. Don't let that wide eyed look fool you, I know what he was plotting!

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Hallee was a very chatty girl today and Hobbes was full of purrs. Simon came down to say hi but ran off before I could get a picture. Everyone sends lots of purrs and kisses! For some reason I am having trouble uploading the videos again. Here is a link :)

http://www.youtube.com/user/scalestailsandpaws#p/a/u/1/rXF9gQtlyzM

Annie, Penny & the kitty crew

Well, Alistair decided he was done being nice and was stalking Sophie tonight. So, her and Miller are spending the night all snussled in the office. Everyone else is being on their best behavior. I think I may need to bring some flippers for Annie & Penny, we got another inch + of rain today...sigh...  Oh, I must have missed the publish button on the 6th, so there are a couple more pictures and a video for you.

Lily

Miss Lily went running to the faucet as soon as I walked in the door. Yep, she has me trained! She was her usual happy, lovey self :) Video is not attaching but you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/scalestailsandpaws#p/a/u/0/gFK6f8ydV5k

Rascal

The weather finally broke a bit today, still cold but at least no rain which we both appreciated! Rascal is doing great and I am loving getting to know him, he is such a dear, sweet old guy. He sends lots of love and can't wait to see you!

Annie, Penny & the Ones Who Rule The House

Oh my gosh, I wish I could have gotten a picture of tonight! I had Penny, Kirby & Barnaby on my lap, Henry behind my head and Annie by my side. It was adorable :) I tried to get Annie to show off her pearly whites after her nightly teeth brushing but no such luck. Henry & Kirby were watching us play outside, too cute! They all send oodles of tail wags and kisses.

Annie, Penny and the kitty crew

Think you would mind an extra person at your house-hee hee, I am having such a blast playing with everyone! It is all I can do to drag myself away. Everyone is doing wonderfully, no fighting, just lots of adorable faces and attention seeking. It was kitty posing for pictures day (and a video from yesterday that I didn't get added on). Please excuse the fact that I sound like an idiot, then again, you have heard me talk to the critters. They all say they miss you bunches!

Oliver

Oliver is the most adorable snugglebug! It has been pretty icky, poor Oliver is going to need fins if this keeps up much longer. He sends lots of tail wags and kisses.

Annie, Penny & the ones who rule the house :)

Well, every kitty came out to say hello today, color me surprised. Basil only makes brief appearances but still! Barnaby, Kirby & Sophie all insist on lap time and I am happy to oblige.
Annie, Penny and I got to spend a bit of time outside during a oh so brief break in the rain- yea!! Penny insists upon lap time as well, it seems only fair since the kitties are trying to steal her attention :) All in all, we are having a great time and I don't want to leave the house. Hope you are having a great trip. Everyone sends lots of love and kisses.

Annie, Penny & the kitties

Penny was quite happy to spend some snuggly time in my lap while Annie got her scritches. Alistair & Barnaby were the first to come out and say hello but Henry surprised me the most. He came out and was all about the lovins tonight. He stayed by my side almost the whole visit, rubbing against me while I sat petting the girls! Basil came out briefly so at least I got to see her in the flesh.

Rascal

Poor guy was not very impressed with all the rain today as it hampered our afternoon walk. Rascal has been doing great and is a real sweetie! Hope you are having a wonderful time, please bring back some sun and warmth with you ;)

Oliver

Oliver is doing great. It took a little bit for him to warm up but by the end of our visits today, he didn't want me to leave. He is such a snugglebug!

Peanut & Snuggles

Today was a first, Snuggles came right up to me and checked me out while I was taking a short video of Peanut. It made my day! Both buns are doing great and I am looking forward to seeing them in the morning :)

Not quite sure why I am unable to upload the video tonight but here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/user/scalestailsandpaws#p/a/u/0/hWMG40ODZYY

Abby, Maggie, Reese & Zoey

Everyone is doing great, lots of playtime and lovins today. Reese surprised me by doing really well from the first visit :) We all enjoyed the beautiful sun today, even if it was cold- though that icky white stuff is almost gone again!

Spock & Bo

Spock and I have been having a grand old time, enjoying our warmer weather walks and playing laser tag. Bo was quite the chatterbox tonight. *edit* Sorry I missed hitting the publish button last night!

Hallee, Hobbes, Simon & Lizzie

Everyone was in the mood for the feather toy today, other than Lizzie. She was content to sit and watch the others. I am thrilled that I managed to get Simon on video. He is such a beautiful, sweet kitty! Hmm, guess I shouldn't update the blog while on NyQuil, somehow I forgot to hit the publish button last night for all the updates :(

Chi, Halo & Jaz

Jaz really loved the laser toy, she came zooming downstairs as soon as I brought it out! Chi & Halo were content to get lots of love and scritches.

Chi, Halo & Jaz

Both Chi & Halo came right out to visit and wanted lots of lovins. Jaz must have gotten jealous at all the attention because before long, she came out to see what was going on. While she didn't let me pet her, she did come sniff and hang out in the room with us. They send lots of purrs and kisses!

Halle, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Aww, the card was too cute, thank you! It was a race to greet me at the door today, both Hallee & Hobbes had to rush to the bowls as I was setting the food out, determined to get to it before the other did, silly kitter cats. Lizzie was much more laid back about her feeding, giving me the "I know I am the queen, what has taken you so long to bring me my food" look. Simon came out for some lovins too :)

Danika & Badger

Badger came out...briefly :) I'd say that's progress! Dankia was in a very talkative and playful mood today. She and Badger both send lots of purrs and kisses.

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Just fair warning, I sound like a crazy person in the video! I don't even realize I am talking to the kitters like that until I played it back. Ah well, they don't seem to mind ;) Hobbes was a riot today. He was very playful and a bit miscevious as well. As I was scooping the food, he jumped onto the counter to help himself. Hallee was of course the first to greet me but didn't feel like being on tape. Simon was his usual bashful self. Hopefully I can get him tomorrow playing with his favorite toy! Lizzie was being friendly but didn't want to venture out of her comfort zone. Hope you enjoy the Hobbes show!

Ace, Colby, Rusty & Teddy

Sorry the video is so short for you, I finally figured out how to upload them but only if they are under 30 seconds! They boys all say hello and plllleeease bring back some sun and warmth. They are sick of this icky white stuff!

Ike

Ike was his happy go lucky self today :) That tail of his cracks me up!

Badger & Danika

Hopefully this works! Danika was being a complete goof today and I managed to snap a quick video of her carrying around her toy. 

Ike

Ike is such a big sweetie! We played around in the living room after dinner and potty time and of course Ike got lots of scritches and lovins. He was a very good boy about dinner and his shot. Sat right down for me and waited like a pro!

Ace, Colby, Rusty & Teddy

We had a bit of a thaw today, 35*, wooo hooo! Yep, still too cold for the boys to want to be outside ;)
Lots of snuggles, zoomie racetrack and just plain being goofy. They all send tail wags and kisses.

Bogey, Eli & Gypsy

It was great to see everyone again tonight! Bogey and Eli were their usual happy and silly selves. Gypsy only came out briefly but ran off when the boys and I were being goofy. They all send lots of kisses and tail wags.

Badger & Danika

All is well with the kitties. Danika was in her favorite snoozing spot upstairs and Badger was in his usual hiding spot when I came in. Danika really likes the kitty grass in the kitchen! I forgot the laser toy today but hopefully I can get a video of her chasing it for you tomorrow :)

Icy updates

Just a quick update to let everyone know that the critters are all doing well. I am having issues staying online so just one brief update tonight for all. So far, no one has lots power. Hopefully it stays that way. No downed trees either, but I am not so hopeful that it will stay that way since so many trees are starting to bend from the weight. Walking is treacherous for all, so it has been potty outside and play inside so no one gets hurt from paws sliding out from underneath.

Indi, Kai, Kili & Koa we silly kitties today. It must be something in the air! I left a bit more food out than usual just in case it takes longer to get there in the morning. Icky ice!

Ace, Colby, Rusty & Teddy- are absolutely hating this weather. I did salt the back steps so they don't go flying off though! Teddy seems to have this "haha, I get to stay inside" gleam in his eye.

Molly- Miss Molly is hanging out with me due to the weather. I let Heath off the hook and didn't have him drive up today and gave him the day off. Hope you are enjoying the warmth, we sure don't have it here!

Ace, Colby, Rusty & Teddy

Hmm, I suppose it doesn't sound right if I say I am glad you are gone...but I'm glad your gone! I missed the boys terribly and was so happy to snussle on the couch with them. Even Ace came up :) Colby of course had to make a "nest" to sunggle up in. Thankfully at least Rusty felt like playing zoomie racetrack.
I am not looking forward to all this icky impending ice we supposedly have on the way and I am sure the boys would say the same thing if they could talk. So we are all begging you...please bring home some sun and warmth!

Indi, Kai, Kili & Koa

The girls are enjoying all the scritches and playtime and I am enjoying getting some snuggle time in with them. Indi came right out when I came up to give her her breakfast today and even refrained from hissing at me. Progress is slow but oh so worth it. I do value my fingers though and have not tried to pet her!

Harley, Jae, Diamond & Sydney

I had so much fun with the pups today! We played outside, had a treat and got lots of scritches and belly rubs. I adore the look on Jae's face in the picture, he was waiting for me to throw the ball. Sydney is the only one who didn't feel like holding still long enough to pose ;)

Simba & Mufasa

Eeek, sorry I didn't hit the publish post for you last night!
The boys were snuggle bugs as usual, quite full of purrs and love. It's so hard to leave, I want to snuggle with them all day.As you can see, they say hello.

Peanut & Snuggles

Lots of bun fun today, as they romped, jumped and played in the living room. They always keep me entertained! Snuggles even decided to stop and pose for me- yea :)

Zena & the kitty crew

Zpup is her usual happy, bouncy self :) I think she would do just about anything for a belly scritch! The kitties all came running when the can gets opened, even Sophia, who is now letting me pet her. That is, as long as I am quick about it, one pat or so and then she looks like she wants to bolt. But with her that is major progress :)

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Hobbes was in full on inspection mode, making sure that all new packages passed muster :) I tried to snap a picture as he was on his hind legs sniffing around but he jumped down too fast. All the kitters were good today and said to send you lots of purrs and kisses!

Badger & Danika

Badger was in his usual safe spot but looks less terrified each visit so there is hope yet! Danika was a silly girl today, she came tearing down the steps as soon as she heard the food hit the bowl but obviously wasn't starving as she only took a couple bites before coming to play. I brought the laser toy today and she thought that was the most fun, chasing it all over the living room.

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

It is always a mad rush at the door now by Hallee & Hobbes as to who can play try to trip the sitter ;) I have to admit that it is a pretty darn good feeling that they are so happy to see me! Of course it could be the canned food they know they are going to get but I prefer to think it is my sparkling personality. I tried to get a hot of Simon again today but he seems to have a 6th sense of when I have the camera ready. Ah well, tomorrow is another day!

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

As you can see, Hobbes was trying to help me feed and write notes today- silly boy! He was my shadow today, every room I went into, he followed, purring his heart out. So of course we had to have a little extra snuggly time. Simon scared me half to death, he jumped out to say hello when I was least expecting it. Poor guy, I think I scared him just as badly! The girls were good, Lizzie was surveying her domain and making sure all was well in her part of the world while Hallee sampled everyone's food to make sure it was up to snuff :)

Camry, Ollie & Saki

Both Ollie & Saki are having a grand old time in the snow, running and jumping around like pups! Camry is much more dignified in her appreciation :) They send lots of tail wags and kisses to you.

Hallee, Hobbes, Lizzie & Simon

Hallee looked at me like I grew a third head as I brought the package in and then had to go inspect it to see if it was ok to be in the house :) All the kitters are good and on their bestest behavior. Lots of purrs and kisses!

Peanut & Snuggles

Lots of running around and being silly buns today :) I tried to get it on video but failed! They are both behaving themselves and Peanut is all about the lovins, at least some of the time.

Peanut & Snuggles

The buns were too adorable for words this morning. Playing, running and jumping around and just loving life in general. They sure do make me smile :)

Hallee, Lizzie, Hobbes & Simon

Hallee and Hobbes were my usual welcoming committee as I walked in the door this evening, purring loudly and being utter snugglebugs :) As usual, I missed getting anything but a blurry shot! It's hard to get a picture when they both have to inspect what I am doing, hee hee. Lizzie was a bit on the lovey side tonight too- yea! Simon was his usual charming, adorable self!

Camry, Ollie & Saki

Saki was really snuggly tonight! I think Camry has gotten used to being the main snuggler so she was a bit miffed that someone was getting "her" attention ;) Ollie was a big goof outside today, rolling around in the snow and having a grand old time. I tried to snap a picture of him waving his feet in the air but I wasn't fast enough. They all send lots of tail wags and kisses.

Camry, Ollie & Saki

Learned tonight that both Ollie & Saki like to chase the laser toy. Unfortunately, Saki didn't like to share in the fun and gave Ollie a warning growl to back off, so away went the laser. Camry just looked at them, trying to figure out what all the fuss was about. So, we spent lots of snuggle and scritches time instead. It was a frigid 5* this morning, everyone went potty much faster than usual!

Peanut & Snuggles

The buns were very good today. They both came right out of their cages and explored for close to 25 minutes. I figured Peanut would come right out but Snuggles pleasantly surprised me. They were both very good about going back in too. Peanut really seems to like the little bunny condo :) Not the greatest quality picture but was too cute to pass up, even if it did turn out blurry.

Molly

Molly is having the best time playing out in the snow with the other puppers! She always give me the "Awww, do I have to come in now"? look. Hee hee, she sure is a good snuggler when she comes in though. Right now, she is sleeping in the hallway between the girls room, making sure no harm comes to them. What a good girl :)

Camry, Ollie & Saki

Wow was it chilly on our walks tonight! I found myself wishing I had Saki's fur :) After outside time, Camry and I snuggled on the couch while Ollie got his scritches.

Hallee, Hobbes, Simon & Lizzie

Awww, Lizzie is such a pretty kitty! She ventured out of her safe spot for a moment to show off her new 'do. Hobbes was all full of purrs as usual and decided that I was better than the canned food. Now that made my day! Hallee was her usual meowful self, we have great conversations! Took out the feather for Simon, to which he had bunches of fun. Tried to snap a pic of him playing but no such luck.

Boom & Flash

I just love how talkative Flash is! He has such a large vocabulary too :) Boom came running out again as soon as I opened the canned kitty food and after eating decided he would reward me with some snuggle time. I felt very honored. Flash of course was feeling left out so he wandered over to snuggle too.

Flash

Today Flash was feeling a bit antisocial. As soon as I walked in the room, she saw the camera and promptly hid under the bed :( No more trying for a shot I guess. She is doing great other than the camera shyness though!

Camry, OIlie & Saki

I just love how the pups all vie to snuggle with me! What a rough life, hee hee. Yesterday we got to soak in all the beautiful sun and warmth and hung out on the balcony after our walks. Today, not so much!
