Dog walking on Monday 4/26

Hanna - Hanna banana is doing good!  Yesterday I took the barbells outside both visits and threw them for her.  I couldn't find them this morning... I'll have to look a little more for them next visit.  They're definitely there somewhere! Sadie - Sadie and I had a nice walk this morning, it was pretty outside.  She did her usual sniffing and she peed several times and of course she pooped too.  Last night we had a good visit too... pretty much the same thing:  eating, sniffing, peeing and pooping :)

Chester & Bailey - They're both doing just great.  Shannon saw them for the first 2 visits yesterday (hence no post on the blog.  She left you notes at the house.)  When I walked in last night, Chester was on his dog bed.  He looked at me and then he just rolled over on his side so I could rub on him.  It was a quick rub.... I knew Bailey would be ready to get out of her crate.  This morning they both enjoyed their breakfast and then a walk around the park.  Chester pooped but Bailey didn't.  They both needed the ointment in their eyes this morning so I put it in. Sadie - Sadie got to see a couple of cats on the walk this morning and of course, she did lots of sniffing just like she always does.

Jay & Chloe - Every visit is pretty much a repeat of the last:  throw the tennis ball for Jay!  She loves that thing!!  Chloe has been doing good staying of the counters since yesterday.  :)

Dog walking on Saturday 4/24

Sadie - Sadie is doing just fine.  It's been sprinkling off and on.... we'll see if we get caught in it tonight.  So far we've been pretty lucky. Jay & Chloe - Jay didn't care that it was raining this morning... she still wanted to play.

Sadie - Sadie and I walked in a very light rain this morning.  She didn't mind at all (and I didn't either for that matter!)  She still took care of all of her business!  Last night we enjoyed a leisurely stroll and then some more couch time!  Yesterday midday we took a quick little cruise up the street too! Jay & Chloe - It had stopped raining by the time I got to your house but it had been sprinkling some b/c Jay's feet need to be wiped off before we came back in the house!  Wiping her feet is a bit challenging.... she likes it when she can get her face in mine!! :)

Dog Walking and Kitty Sitting on Thur 4/22

Happy Earth Day! Easter and Homer - Homer was more than ready to go outside and pee this morning.  Easter was the one I was thinking would be really ready but she was fine to stay by me at first.... I think she wanted her breakfast!  I fed them, gave them a big, fresh bowl of water and a treat before I left.

Sadie says:  "Happy Birthday Mom!  I hear that you're having fun and that it is really pretty.  The dog walker told me that.  I think she's jealous!  We are having fun.  We go for a long walk every morning and I get to do lots of sniffing.  At night, we do a fairly long walk and then we have what she calls "couch time."  I like couch time because I gets lots of rubs!  I've been a very good girl."  :)

Jay and Chloe - Chloe was talking to me again this morning.  I think she really wanted my attention because she jumped up on the counter again...twice.  I think she is missing you.  Jay is doing just fine:  I have the routine down, let her out so she can pee and poop and then I throw the ball for her.  She is very easy to please!

Sadie - this was Sadie's morning:  potty, breakfast, walk and couch time with me!  We had a good visit last night too.  I tried to figure out how to turn the tv on... I was going to watch American Idol but it didn't come on when I hit the power button (the tv came on but no picture came up or sound) and I didn't want to start punching buttons so I turned it back off. Jay & Chloe - they must've been hungry.  Both of their bowls were empty.  I refilled Chloe's, played ball with Jay and then refilled Jay's.  I put the oil on her food too.  While they ate, I cleaned out Chloe's box.

Easter & Homer - They are doing just fine.  I got to meet Henry too.  I fed the dogs and then we went for a short walk.  Lots of barking dogs outside that seemed to make Easter nervous so I wasn't out very long with her.

Alex & George - it was so fun seeing them today.  Alex was full of himself and he also was trying to eat everything while we were on the walk.  He is all puppy!!
