Dinner. 5-6 pm: same as morning!

Nighttime Snack. 9:30-10:00 pm: put them outside one last time for the night and give them a snack in small ceramic bowls (I just use the bowl and scoop the food into it - filling it to the top). The bowls can stay in their kennels, or you can take them out. Up to you.

Water. Use the water bottle on the counter next to the washer/dryer to fill their bowl. The water bowl is next to the washer/dryer. I wash the bowl out every couple of days since they eat dirt outside and then leave it in the bowl - GROSS!

If you want Winnie to do her business quickly, put the lead on her. If you have time and want to let her run, just let her outside without it.

She loves playing ball and gives lots of kisses.

Her tummy is a little sensitive, so if she goes too long between feedings, she may snub her food. If that happens, just give her some treats from the barn and try giving her breakfast or dinner in 10-15 minutes.

She does not like being kenneled when people are home and will chew her blanket, bed, or pad. So if you need to put her away while you are home, use the X-pen.

Always kennel them when you leave for the day and for bedtime.

She loves to chew on the yak cheese bones and will demolish it in one sitting - take it from her when she gets it down to 1" - toss in trash.

If you want Izzy to do her business quickly, put the lead on and let her drag it around outside. The leads signal that it isn't playtime. If you have extra time and want to let her play, you can put her out without the lead.

She loves to sit in your lap and chew her bone while watching puppy tv.

She loves all the snacks - make her sit and wait for them so she takes them nicely.

Evening routine: After they eat, you can let them out together to play. We always go outside with them to make sure they don't do anything stupid (like eat plants, dirt, dig, or kill bunnies).

They will ring the bell if they need to go pee or poop - usually 30 minutes after eating.

If you have any issues with them, one can go in the X-pen, while the other is outside. Sometimes we play with them separately so they get some special time.

If they get grouchy with each other, grab 2 yak cheese bones (top drawer of kennel buffet), turn on puppy tv, and sit on the floor with them. If that doesn't work (it usually does) - put their leads on them in the house. They know when leads are on, its training time and they listen better.

Bedtime routine: Around 9:30-10:00 pm, we put them outside, separately, using the lead (easier to catch them if you have to, and they usually do their business and come right back). Then, you can put their little white, ceramic snack bowls in their kennels with them. You can leave them in their until morning or take them out if they are playing with them. They usually sleep 8 hours.

They will always ring the bell if they need to go outside (but beware - they will ring the bell just to go outside to play too - so it isn't a perfect system).

House Code: 0924 will unlock the front door. If you use the front door when you leave, just hit the lock button at the top.

Jessa (517) 449-5469 - she is your go-to for all questions or issues. She will check in periodically and can be a backup if you need it.

Joseph Bryant (989) 317-5061 - he will mow the lawn once while we are gone, but he is our go-to for all house issues. If you have any questions or issues, contact him and he will help.

Litter: We clean the litter every morning after feeding the kids. It is in the office between the desk and the closet. The scoop and bags are under the desk in a wicker basket. You can toss the bag in the dog poop bucket outside.

Dinner: 5-6 pm, she gets another 1/3 of the can of cat food.

Snack: 9:30-10:00 pm, she gets the final 1/3 of the can. When she is done, wash her bowl out so it is ready for morning.

NOTE: Check the back bedroom (our room) daily to make sure she hasn't puked on the bed. She hasn't puked in a few weeks, but it has been known to happen.

She is a demanding cat, so if she is making a lot of noise, it is usually because she is hungry. You can give her a tablespoon of food in between feedings if needed.

She might crawl into bed with you at night - hope that's ok.

They will ring the bell when they have to go poop. I would put them out separately (on a lead) to poop or they get distracted and forget what they are supposed to do.

It's usually 30-45min after they eat. If Winnie goes behind the shed, it is safe to assume she pooped. Izzy doesn't mind an audience, but Winnie is a little more bashful.
