Cat Sitting and Dog Walking on Wed 12/9
Annabelle, Amos, Brutus, Eenie and Maxine - They were all doing just great. The ones that didn't come around yesterday when I was there were around a little more this morning (Amos and Eenie.) Amos almost looked like he was going to run after the toy with the feather on the end but Brutus jumped after it before he did. Maxine took a couple of swats at it too when Brutus wasn't. They all ate. Eenie even went in and ate while I was in the other room playing with Brutus. Annabelle was in the house when I left too. It rained really hard here early this morning (6-7am) so I wasn't certian if it had totally stopped so I didn't let her out. She wasn't really acting like she wanted to go out either.
Brady & Ferguson - the boys wanted to play in the grass but it was REALLY wet. One of them rolled over in it several times before I could get him up (now I don't remember which one it was) but I really toweled him off before he went in the house.
Max - Max seemed content today to just snooze but we did go outside so he could pee.
Betty & Suzy - The girls are doing better at walking at a heel. Betty definitely gets it... Suzy does too but she is easily distracted :)
Dusty - Dusty pranced around the neighborhood as always!
Cat Sitting and Dog Walking on Tues 12/8
Maxine, Annabelle, Brutus, Amos and Eenie - I got to see everyone this morning. They all ate (although they didn't finish their breakfast) and I played with Maxine and Brutus. Brutus really likes to play and Maxine does but then she'll get a little shy with me.
Lucy - I had a great time on this visit. My friend and dog trainer Yvonne Fehr came along with us on our walk. She has that same gene that the Dog Whisperer has... she just gets dogs and has tons of tips that help me do my job better.
Brady & Ferguson - the boys both peed and pooped and then they wanted to roll around in the grass.
Max - Max was snoozing on his bed when I came in. He was out! and I was completely jealous!
Cleo - Miss Cleo walked today and she got to see 4 different neighbors all of whom said hello to her. She had a great time!
Betty & Suzy - They both did pretty good today walking at a heel. I made them walk that way the whole walk.... (see my above note on Lucy.) I used some of Yvonne's tips from my visit with her.
Merry Christmas from Sam & Buddy
Sammy is singing along with the Chrimstas tunes.... I think at the time I was listening to James Taylor's Christmas cd. Funny that that is what it looks like and I am very lucky to have gotten this shot.
Buddy is relaxing in front of the Christmas tree on the dog bed he got for his birthday.
Dog walking, cat and dog sitting on Mon 12/7
Maggie - Maggie and I had a nice walk around the neighborhood! Brady & Ferguson - they LOVED meeting the woman who was doing survey work in the neighborhood. They were just going to sit and stare at her until she said hello. She did!
Max - Santa came to visit Max early. I love his new bed and I think he loves it too!
Cleo - Cleo kissed me right on the lips today! I guess she missed me :)
Betty & Suzy - enjoyed as always their walk around the block.
Let me see if I can get them all without looking it up: Annabelle, Brutus, Eenie, uh oh... Maxine, shoot and the tuxedo kitty.... Amos. I had to look him up. Dang. They all seemed just fine! I will take my camera tomorrow and try for some photos. They were funny today and I wished I would've had my camera with me!
Dusty - Dusty is one happy little guy. His tail was wagging the whole time we walked and we both know how happy he is at dinner time :)
Pet sitting on Sunday 12/6
Bay - she was waiting in the hallway again. She has pulled out a shirt, a shoe and perhaps a sheet into the hallway with her. I left them there... figured if they made her feel comfortable then they were okay to be there. She ate all of her dinner from last and she got excited this morning when I got her milkbones out. She took one from my hand which is progress. She peed this morning but didn't poop. We did walk around a fair bit... she wanted to so we did. Gaylord & Finnegan - I think they went outside 3 times while I was there this morning. I stayed for awhile and just hung out with them.
Pet sitting on Saturday 12/5
Bay - I just love that name. One to keep in mind for the future :) She was laying on the carpet looking at the door when I came in this morning. Waiting for you, I'm figured. She did wag her tail and came over to me but then she got a little shy so I just took my time with her. We did go outside and she peed and pooped. I gave her a couple of milkbones and she was eating them when I left. No howling upon my arrival either! Gaylord & Finnegan - I dont think Ive ever said Finnegan and Gaylord.... hmmm. Anyway, they are doing just fine. Finney had eaten all of his dinner from last night, Gaylord hadnt although he happily took the milkbone from me when I offered it and jumped up on the couch to eat it!
