dog walking on Wed 6/23

two peas in a pod!! Allie & Tilly - These two!!  They are enjoying this cool morning! Allie has gotten her breakfast and exercise in and is READY TO PLAY!  I call this her twist and shout :o)  Tilly always finds a way to ambush my leg and start a game of chase!  Good times!

What a cutie-pie she is!!!

Max & Genny - I was greeted this morning by a couple of barks by Max.  I think Genny was still sleeping!  She was stretching as I came into the kitchen!  I let them outside and they both came back in to eat their breakfast.  After that, they were ready to go back outside.

Sib & Huski - They didn't even bark at me today!  They both did their little dance though when they saw me!  :)  A couple of times Huski was really dragging her back left leg.  I'm assuming this is something she does but I took it easy with them.  They both loved their treats!!

Sam & Riley - The boys ran outside (how do you keep Sam from running??) to pee and then they came in looking for their dinner.  Both ran into the room to eat... they were disappointed and Sam let me know.  He was really barking.  Silly boy.  I told him he had to wait until Theresa came to be fed!  (It was 2:30pm!)  Someone has chewed 3 of the slats on the blinds in the room their in... someone is bored. :(  I left you a vm.  If there are bones somewhere that I can give them, let me know.

Sam and Riley were as happy to see me as I was to see them! Sam & Riley - ah... look at who I got to see today!  I just love these 2 dogs.  I stopped in at lunch time and gave them a quick potty break (but of course I stayed to say hello and snap some pictures too!)  Riley barked at me and Sam just wanted me to pet him.

Sam and Jags cute hineys  (did I spell that right??)

Sam & Jag - we had another nice walk today.  I asked them to "heel" right when we left your house and then did!  They were both just great.  Although I did catch Jag drinking out of the toilet when we got back to your house.  I walked downstairs to make certain they had plenty of water and they did!

Allie - girl

Allie & Tilly - They're still both doing just great.  The routine is down too:  Feed Allie and then she goes to roll around in the grass.  About that time, Tilly come running up too for some lovin' and her food!

Max & Genny - They're both doing just fine.  I did find Max's cone in your bedroom so he is wearing it now.  His leg looks painful.. I'm sure it is no different from when you left but looks awful.  Poor guy.

dog walking on Monday 6/21

Hanging out together in the backyard. Allie & Tilly - Allie and Tilly have just been having a grand old time together in the garden today!  We even saw a Peter Cottontail :o)  Allie was polite and didnt chase him!  Everyone got lots of love from me too!

Sam and Riley -  It is hard to keep Sam from getting excited when we come in and open to the door to let him go outside.  Both Sam and Riley are both very grateful to be let out!  And they're always starving!  Riley has been very affectionate.  Sam eats, pees, poo's and then goes back to his bed.  Poor ole guy!

Keagan is looking very handsome sporting his new haircut!

Keagan - Keagan and I had a nice walk this morning.  He was "laid back" Keagan with me.  It was funny though, when we got to Tootsie's house he just sat down in their yard.  I think he was hoping Tootsie would come outside... or else he was hot and just didn't want to walk any further!

Sam is enjoying the cool wood floor after our walk!

Seeing big ole Jag carrying around the zebra made me laugh!

Jag and Sam - You would be very proud of your kids this morning.  They walked very nicely at a heel most of the walk.  I knew you said they'd had training and I know the paperwork said they know "heel."  After about 5 minutes of being pulled down the street, I thought I'd try walking them at a heel so I reeled them in.  They both did great and my back was relieved :)  Both pooped too but they are funny.... Sam pees more than your boy Jag.  Go figure.

Max with Genny in the background.  Genny is trying to be stealth... she wanted to stay outside!

Max & Genny - I think Genny would've preferred that I leave her outside. :)

Alex... bless his little heart.  Seeing him being walked down the street with his cone on has got to be a funny sight!

pet sitting on Sun 6/20

Sparky was ready to go outside this morning.  She ran around the yard but she came right in for her breakfast.  She gobbled it down and then ran back outside.  She wanted me to throw her toy for her.  I did but then she got distracted by something and went running out.  Last night, I brushed her.  I didn't think I was going to be able to "catch her" but she finally laid  down and I was able to really brush her.  She is REALLY shedding.... I can relate.  My yellow lab Sam is the same way! Sam & Riley -The flat iron was turned off :)  Sam and Riley got 2 visits yesterday (a quick potty break midday) and they'll get another quick potty break today too from Theresa.

pet sitting on Saturday 6/19

A rare day that See Spot Run has more kitty visits than dog visits. :)  It's nice to see all the putty-cats! a pix from my archives:  Murphy & Madison

Madison & Murphy - They're doing just fine, both enjoyed their dinner!  I brushed Murphy while Madison finished eating and then she came running over as soon as I was done.  I added a little more water to the feeder... it was fine but I didn't want it to run low.  I watered the plants too.

Tiger Lily is quite the talker.... here she is mid-sentance!

Tiger Lily - I let her have the run of the house when I left today.  I thought she'd enjoy that.  I propped the door to her room open with the turtle... I assume that's what it is for!  She'd drank quite a bit of water yesterday and she'd vomited 2x on the floor.  Once right by her litter box and once on the floor.  It was food... I'm guessing typical hairball.

Sparky is carrying her bone around the yard.

Sparky - Sparky was waiting at the door, zoomed out but came right back in when I showed her the food bowl.  She gobbled down her breakfast and then she zoomed back outside.  I heard her doing something in the den, she'd grabbed her bone and took it outside with her.

Tilly is acting more like a retriever than Allie, chasing the ball when I throw it!

Allie & Tilly - they're both doing just great!

Allie prefers rolling around on her back in the grass to chasing after the ball!! Tilly imitating Allie rolling around in the grass!! :)

Allie & Tilly - The routine is down.  Allie goes outside and rolls around in the grass.  Tilly comes running up.  She's been good about sticking around the house and coming in at night.  We've left fresh water outside for her but not food... thinking that she'll want to come inside to eat and that seems to be working.

Sparky- Sparky was on the front porch when I drove up.  She was happy to see me.  I  tossed her toy a few times (until she got bored with that!) and then I fed her.  She didn't zoom out the door after she ate... perhaps she was ready for "night night."

Tiger Lily - I got the medicine in again today.  She really doesn't like it though... I'm surprised she still likes me!  :)
