Every morning,I wake up to Isis,I take Sully outside.We walk up the rode and back.Sometimes we go down the main road,and other times we go threw the woods behind my house!:D Then we come inside and I give him a milkbone.He dosn't eat around us for some reason.:confused: Then he goes in my sisters closet to sleep.:)
Every morning it is the same thing, seven days a week. Mom calls to wake me up 4-5 times. I get up, and go to the kitchen, bypassing the bathroom. Binx remains sleeping on the floor, usually. Sometimes, Binx wakes up the first time mom calls, and sits on the floor and whines to tell me it is potty time. He waits until I get up, and he falls back asleep.
In the kitchen, I pill Tex first. He is ALWAYS waiting on the counter. I then give Tex wet food, freshen his water. I hit the closet for dry food for the tiny tuxie tornados, accidently hit Tenny in the head trying to put food in one of the three dry food bowls, freshen the floor cats water. Binx has usually made it to the kitchen door way by now. I put his food and water out, grab a scoop of food, and head to Minnie's hideyhole, where I fill her bowl, clean her bathroom, and take her water bowl back to the kitchen, along with the scoop. I put the scoop back in the cats food, close the closet, fill Minnie's bowl, pet her some, and close her door. (Don't worry, she has a Minnie sized door). I then put on the coffee, go to my room, and start dressing for the walk. Binx has now started doing backflips, and I go to the porch, put on shoes, and we hit the road. 30 minutes later, we are home. I grab some water and some coffee, and hit the shower. Once I am dressed, and ready to leave, I exit through the basement to the garage, scooping the other cats bathrooms right before I leave. Every morning. Same routine. Sometimes, on the weekends, I let Binx out first, and then grab some coffee, and we walk...
The evening routine is simpler. I let Binx out, or in, if he has been outside all day. I freshen his food/water, give Tex his liquid meds, and his pill, treat him, and freshen the water bowls of the other cats, if necessary.

Gee, how much more exciting can life get???
-At 6:45 the alarm goes off
-roll over and slap snooze button
-remove cat from head
-other cat starts meowing loudly
-grumble and curse because I can't find the snooze button on cat
-around 7 I stumble out of bed
-usually trip over a cat on the way to the fert room
-clean and refill all water and food bowls in fert cage
-gather up all sleeping ferts from their play area and put them in their cage for the day(they spend all evening and night out in their playpen area)
-trudge downstairs to feed and water kitties...amazing I haven't killed myself tripping over hungry kitties going downstairs
-trudge back upstairs to brush my teeth only to wait 5 minutes for kitties to finish drinking out of my sink even though I just cleaned and refilled their water bowl downstairs only seconds ago
-dress and leave for work while staring in envy at kitties lounging in the living room as I lock the door.
My new daily routine is my alarm goes off at 6. I get up, wash my face. Get dressed and take breeze for a walk while Nova snoozes on her bed (she's to lazy to get up that early, lol) I then come home, feed Breeze and Nova jump in the shower. Get dressed take Breeze out and then let Nova out. Put Breeze in her kennel and give her her mornign 2 treats and give Nova her treats. Then go to school.

-My day starts too early to note, but when the alarm goes off my first task is try to get out from underneath whichever dog has decided to sleep on me.
-I struggle down the hall and let 2 dogs out the back door, then go the kitchen to start the coffee.
-Go back to the bathroom to go potty and then yell at Dick to get up.
-While he's trying to get awake, I go let the first 2 dogs in and let another 2 out (their idea to go out this way - NOT mine).
-Go back to bathroom and turn on curling irons.
-By this time, Dick is awake and moving so I go make the bed (before anyone changes their mind and gets back in) that is if Max is up. If not, I make the bed later.
-If he is up, I follow him down the hall and let him out while the 2 that were out come in.
-While I'm waiting, I can go back and let Max in hoping that one of the first 4 don't want to go back out. I also check to see if any laundry or dishes need to be picked up, washed, put away, etc.
-By this time Dick has already left for work so I get in the shower, do my hair, eat breakfast and fix my lunch.
-All the while I'm doing this I stepping/tripping over Max who wants to sit next to me and/or Molly/Muffin/Kirby who want to wrestle underneath my feet and/or Carly who wants to sit by me and get her morning scratches.
-Then I go get the kennels ready for the two youngest dogs - fluff blankets and make sure they have favorite toys to amuse themselves.
-Take any number of dogs back outside to make sure they have had an opportunity to do whatever business they feel necessary. And a couple of them require a chaperone to go poop. (Not my idea - Dick taught them this - but of course, he's gone already)
-Get everyone back inside, put Muffin and Kirby in their kennels, give treats to everyone and run like crazy for the car.
-And people wonder why I'm tired before I ever leave for work.
:confused:
I don't really have a routine. I wake up at 6:45 and go down to eat breakfast. My mom lets Mickey out of his cage (she gets up too) and he follows her to the living room and they both fall asleep. Then I brush my teeth, change, do my hair and give Mickey a big hug and a kiss. Then I go off to school to make the 7:30 bus. On the weekends, he may either be really sleepy or really awake so depending on that we'll play and stuff. He gets a fresh bowl of water and food (of course) but we don't really follow a scheduele. After school we'll play Frisbee and soccer and on the weekends we'll go for a walk but nothing really according to scheduele.
For the birds--we uncover their cage and change their food and water containers. Sometimes they'll get a bath or I'll clean their cage. I also vacuum around their cage because it makes a royal mess and Mickey has started eating bird seed :rolleyes: .
My alarm *ROXEY* wakes me up around 6:30 or 7. I let the girls out, go back to bed for about 1/2 hour (or until Huney cries to come back in).
Get up again, fix Angus & Huney breakfast, then I eat.
Roxey doesn't like to eat first thing in the morning so she eats out of her food ball when she's ready.
When they're done with that they get a treat.
Of course Roxey sits around and stares at me while they are eating waiting for her treat:o
Then they lay around for about an hour or so while I surf the net.
Then the girls go back out (of course Angus won't...but about 10 min. later he wants out too:rolleyes: He can never just go out with them!)
10 minutes or so later they want back in!
Then from there they pretty much sleep till I get ready for work around 10. Then they want back out and in a couple more times before I leave for work.
Not at all hectic like alot of you.
I did forget to mention something--his highness, Kito, needs to be walked for his morning pee--he will not go in the yard:rolleyes:
He only needs to go out front to the bushes by the driveway, but it's an extra few minutes--the things we do for them!!!!!
I am afraid that bush is doomed. :) My little toy poodle, Pumpkin, (Rainbow Bridge) used to hit the same bush each morning. Even though he only gave it a tiny little squirt, :o in time it turned brown and died. :rolleyes:Quote:
