the dog walker on Friday 7/4

Happy 4th!  It started to rain pretty hard last night around 6-7pm so most of our visits last night were in the rain. Bailey - she is great.  The weather was much cooler this morning so we took a nice walk!

Simba - Last night and this morning, he walked around the yard a little bit.  He peed last night and he peed and pooped this morning.  I gave him his meds with his breakfast this morning.  The drops are almost gone too. I did give them to him this morning but the bottle may be empty now.

Chloe - we got our walk in last night (it was only sprinkling while I was there.)  I left her outside this morning but she was standing at the gate... I hated to drive away!

Minnie and Moe - they both ate well overnight.  I fed them the same food this morning (turkey and rice) b/c they seem to like it!

Baby - she met me at the door this morning.  I loved on her, fed her, gave her fresh water and I scooped her box.

Chipper - He is doing just fine.  It was raining pretty hard at your house last night but he didn't seem to mind!  He was eating his breakfast this morning when I left too!

Hampton & Blitten - Hampton seems to have calmed down.  He isn't panting anymore.  We've been taking nice walks.  He has been peeing (a lot - he is ALL boy :) ) and he's enjoying meal time too.  I've seen Blitten a couple of times too when I've come in the door.  He is eating well too!

Turk and Hawk - I have the system down.  Come in and throw the ball a few times to burn a little energy before taking them for a walk.  The picture of Hawk is blurry because both dogs were so excited they wouldn't stay still!  I tried getting a picture of Turk... wasn't happening. :)  They're both doing great and I'm having fun with them!

Sweet Zack, RIP

Zack - anyone that knows me knows that I love all of the older dogs.  They just get to me.  When we adopted Buddy our black lab, we were told he was 8-10 years old.  When I met Zack earlier in 2011, he was 13.  Of course, I was instantly in love.  I got to see him several times over the course of about 6 months but unfortunately over the holidays he lost his battle with kidney failure.  Rest in peace sweet boy.  I think Sloan must've been waiting for him when he arrived in heaven.

Big storm last night with lots of wind, rain, lightning and some thunder.  (Not a ton of thunder and lightning strikes so it wasn't too noisy but definitely wind and rain for about an hour or so.)  Well..... the power went out at Gaylord, Finnegan, Madison and Murphy's houses.  I know it was out at Gaylord's house b/c I was there when it was out and I saw one of Madison's neighbors this morning who told me it was out for about 6 hours at your house last night.  It was back on this morning.  Big tree down in one of my neighbor's yard but we didn't lose power.  No damage at anyone's houses... just some limbs down (nothing big.)

Gaylord & Finnegan - they didn't want to go out last night but we did.  I'm standing there with a flashlight in the rain and Finnegan finally follows me down in the to the grass to pee.  I could tell that Gaylord had to pee too but he stood there and waited for Finney to finish before he peed on the same exact spot.  Really?  Couldn't they have peed at the same time to limit our time outside in the pouring rain?  Silly boys!  (I'm kidding but it was kind of funny that he waited b/c he DID NOT want to be outside.  Seems like he would've peed as fast as possible to get back inside...guess i don't  think like a dog!)

Scooby - Scooby had power last night and he didn't seem to mind the rain either.  It wasn't raining too hard when I was there.  We took a quick walk so he could pee and poop and of course he peed and pooped again this morning too.

Madison & Murphy - I gave them some lovin' this morning when I came in before I fed them b/c once I feed them, they are both nose down in the plate!!

dog walking on Saturday 7/30

And I saw a possum last night.... the wildlife viewing continues :) Sunny, Louis and Lola - they were funny again last night.  All 3 of them playing once I put them on the bed.  Louis finally had enough and came over and laid down right beside me then everyone settled down and we went "night night."  We had a nice long walk this morning too.

Sweetie - I walked her around the block this morning.  She peed 2x and pooped 2x.  I'll walk her later today too but I wanted to do the long walk when it wasn't 100 degrees outside.  100% humidity it felt like but at least not 100 degrees.  Oh, I met the new dog that lives next door.  He's a big guy!

Scooby - he was interested in following a lady who was out for her morning walk this morning.  He followed her for a little ways but then we turned back.  He was eating his breakfast as I left.

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton - the dogs enjoyed hanging out in the yard and Lucky of course wanted to chew on sticks.  I fed them all after we came inside and I scooped the litter box.

Jackson - he sniffed around the yard this morning.  He'd been after something last night so I think he was trying to find whatever it was.  He didn't find anything and eventually gave up. :)

Ginger - I walked her midday and last night.  Your brother's car was there this morning so I didn't go in.  I've walked in on him / woken him up a few times this week.  I figured I'd let him sleep on a Saturday morning.  I'll run by there mid-morning and see if his car is there.  If not, I'll take Ginger out then and again early afternoon.

the dog walker on Mon 3/28

Izzy and Guthrie - They've been just great.  Izzy is such a love bug but Guthrie loves my attention too.  I even got  a couple of kisses from him this morning!  Yesterday we took a walk on our first visit, I fed them and hung out with Izzy while Guthrie barked outside and last night we all went outside for awhile before coming inside.  Guthrie played last night while I rubbed on Izzy.  He broke one of his bones in half so I picked it up so he wouldn't chew on it anymore.  The pieces looked a little small for him.  This morning I fed them and then we all went outside.  It was raining pretty good.  Izzy took off but came back after just a few minutes.  Guthrie stayed outside longer but then he was ready to come in.  It was pretty nasty out.
