A Day in the Life of this Dog Walker on Tues 4/20

Ok.... here we go.  15 pet sitting visits today.  This is how I spent my day:

Sadie - Sadie and I enjoyed our walk last night.  Someone had their fireplace going that I could smell.  It was a perfect night to be outside.  This morning Sadie's sniffer was really busy on the walk.  She wanted to stop a lot to see what she could find.

Jay & Chloe - Jay is hilarious.  I don't have time to download now and I actually haven't even looked at it so it might not be any good, but I videoed her playing soccer.  It is so funny.  The ball gets covered in dirt, weeds, etc and then she ends up with that in her mouth and she tried to spit it out.  I don't think she cares though... she just wants me to throw the tennis ball.  Chloe did jump up on the counter twice so I picked her up, said down and put her on the floor.

Lucy - Lucy and I had a nice walk through the neighborhood.  She was funny when we got back home.  She ran up on the porch so I thought she was going to bring her ball out for me to throw.  No, she wanted in the house so she could have her Kong.  Funny!

Reagan - bless Reagan's heart.  She has a UTI and hasn't been feeling well.  She definitely seemed to be better based upon what you'd told me.  She did pee 2x outside.  (When I walked in the house, she was on the bed in the spare room.... she's milking it!!)  :)

Guinness - we walked around the circle and he peed several times and he pooped.

Casper - Casper was doing just fine today.  We went outside so he could pee and then we came inside for play time.

to be continued.... Buddy is starting at me.  It's 4pm and time for his walk!  Then I need to see Dusty then Benjamin and Frankie!

Let's see after Casper, I saw Dusty.  I don't usually see Dusty this time of day but he was glad to see me.  We walked around the loop and he pooped and he peed a couple of times.

Brady & Ferguson - the boys were just chillin' this morning.  They plopped down in the shade and watched your neighbor for quite awhile.  They'd occasionally get up and walk around or roll in the grass but then they'd lay down again.  We walked a little ways but not too far today.  They both pooped.

At this point I got hot so I ran by my house to give Sam and Buddy a potty break and I put on shorts.

Max - Max got up pretty quickly today and he went outside and peed.  Right about now, the clouds starting rolling in.

Cleo - the clouds had rolled in, the wind had picked up and I was wishing I hadn't put on shorts!  Cleo was in the mood to walk today.  She walked up and around the park and she pooped too.  Of course, she rolled around in the grass too.

Casper - 2nd visit:  We went outside and he peed but after he tried to grab some mulch (he was on his leash), I decided to take him inside.  We played a little bit and he ate the rest of his breakfast.  I took him back outside before I left.

Frankie & Benjamin - I got to see the BIG dogs today.  Ben barked up a storm at me when I came in and then he tried to "mouth" my arm.... I put a stop to that!  We went for a walk and both peed and Ben pooped.

Buddy & Sam... from my note earlier.  This is when I walked them.  (if I include their walks today, that would make 17.)

Dusty - Dusty walked around the loop again, pooped again and then he was very happy to be served his dinner!

Ben, Frankie & PJ - I didn't leave PJ out.  I fed him some of his canned food.  Ben and Frankie enjoyed their dinner and their outside time.  (Well Ben enjoyed it... I'm not so sure Frankie did - it was raining.)  Frankie was being camera shy so I didn't snap one of her.

Still tonight:  Jay & Chloe and Sadie.

Now I'm off to dinner at Cyros - sushi.  Yum!!! and I may have counted wrong... maybe there were 16 visits today.  I love my job!!!

dog walking on Monday 4/19

Sadie - Sadie got to see a rabbit last night.  It was right outside the backdoor and of course it went hopping off but it stopped in the front yard.  Sadie really stared it down but I didn't want to torment the poor rabbit, so we went for our walk :)  She also had a couple of staring contests with some cats.... but again, we just kept walking.  This morning she was interested in trying to eat stuff on the walk.  She listens pretty well though and will just start trotting down the street some more!

Casper - well.... after I got in the house, everything was great.  I put Casper's leash on him and we went outside for a potty break.   He did quite a bit of sniffing before he pottied so I don't think he was urgently waiting for me to let him out.  He seemed ready to come back inside so then we played some and he ate a little bit.  On the 2nd visit, he was pretty low key.  We went outside, came back in (I thought maybe he was hungry.)  He ate a little more but not much.  I was sitting on the floor beside his food dish and he crawled up in my lap a couple of times and just laid down.  He did poop when I let him out right before I left.

Brady & Fergie - Fergie is getting so affectionate!  He was really just wanting my attention while Brady rolled around in the grass.  We went for a nice walk and they both pooped too.

Max - Max got right up and went outside today to pee.

Dog walking on Sunday 4/18

Sadie - Last night Sadie and I had a nice evening walk.  It was beautiful outside... we both enjoyed it.  This morning she was fired up and ready to go.  She had her potty break first, then breakfast, then our walk.  She'd run up ahead, stop to sniff and then about the time I'd catch up to her, she'd take off again.  I think she was having fun.  She also stalked a few squirrels!

Bubba - Bubba was a happy guy this morning.  He wanted to play and was jumping (or what I like to call dancing) around.

dog walking on Saturday 4/17

Bubba - He's doing just great.  He always has such a happy look on his face... it makes me smile!  I hung out with him for awhile this morning.  I guess you can say your People Magazine is now used.  He chewed on a bone while I caught up on the latest gossip.

Sadie - Sadie and I had a nice long walk this morning.  We got barked at by the neighbor's JRT (small white dog, maybe not a JRT) and a golden retriever with a white face looking out his front window.  Sadie also got to see a few people who were out and about and she acted like she wanted to say hi but we didn't.  She peed too many times to count :) and she pooped too.

Dog walking on Fri 4/16

Sadie - I got lots of kisses right away from Sadie this morning.  As soon as she came out of her crate, she jumped up to greet me :)  I took her out for a potty break, then I fed and then we went out for a walk.  When we came back in, I sat on the couch and spent some more time with her.

Bubba - Bubba and I played for a few minutes this morning and I rubbed on his chest some more.  He enjoyed his breakfast too!

Hero - Hero and I had a nice long walk.  He definitely likes these warmer temps!

Alex & George - We took a long walk around the neighborhood.  The weather was just beautiful this morning.. it's going to be a hot one this afternoon.  Maybe after our walk, some play time inside :)

Dog Walking on Thur 4/15

Guinness - I fell in love again today on my job.  (It happens all the time!!)  Guinness peed 3x, pooped and only snarfed one thing off the ground when we made the loop.  He also got to say hi to 2 very little white dogs!

Bubba - Bubba enjoyed the rubbin and of course his breakfast this morning.

George & Alex - the boys enjoyed their walk around the block.  Alex liked chasing after birds and George just trotted along!
