dog walking on Saturday 7/10
Hanna - she is doing just fine but she will be so excited when you get home! I threw her toy for her some more this morning. I've been feeding all the fish too and I gave the hermit crab more food and wet his sponge a few times too. Scoobie - Scoobie was in a playful mood this morning. We went on a nice long walk and he didn't poop much but he did have a little diarrhea.
Jackson - Jackson went into hunt mode this morning in the yard. Luckily it didn't last very long and he wasn't successful at catching anything! His focus when he is in that mode is amazing.... I wish I knew the trick to get him out of it. His treats seem to work fairly well! He does love those things!
Alex & George - Everyone slept well last night. I let them out first thing this morning and they both peed in the backyard. Alex pooped too. I fed them breakfast and George ate all of his. On the walk, Alex pooped again!
dog walking on Friday 7/9
Yea, I can post pictures again!!
Jackson - He is doing just fine. He did run out of puperoni treats yesterday and I knew he was getting low. Thursday happens to be grocery store shopping day at my house so I added them to the list. (Don goes grocery shopping at our house so I'm sure he was wondering b/c we don't buy those for our dogs! haha!) He didn't get the "lean" version but Jackson doesn't seem to care. I only breaking them in half and only giving him one / visit.
Scoobie - Scoobie was doing just fine this morning but he did have a poop accident in his crate last night. I pulled out his dog bed that was in the crate. I let Scoobie out for a quick potty break and then I threw the cover of the dog bed in the washer. Scoobie and I went for a long walk this morning to give the washer a chance to run. He pooped again (but only a little bit.) He seemed totally fine on the walk... he saw a couple of other dogs that got him all excited. When I go back from my next visit, I'll throw the cover in the dryer. I don't like to leave the washer & dryer going when I'm not close by so I'll get it dried over the next 2 visits so he will have it tonight.
Chipper - I think Chipper wanted to sleep in this morning. I had to call for him twice before he came down the stairs! He went running around in the yard and chasing whatever was out there... birds, chipmunks. I'm not sure what it was this morning. He'd eaten all of his dinner from last night and I fed him his breakfast before I left.
George & Alex - Both of the boys slept well last night. Alex settled down in his crate right away and I had to go and get George off of your bed to come and sleep with me. I'd opened your bedroom door.... they wanted in there so I hope that was okay. George slept all night up by my shoulder, under the covers of course! We went for a walk this morning and everyone pooped and peed!
Hanna - Hanna will be glad when you are home. She is fine but she really misses you. I threw her toy this morning and watered the plants in back. When I come in the front door now, she does a 180 everytime. It is pretty funny!
more on Thurs 7/8
I am actually doing a test run to see if I can download pictures again.... hopefully this works! ok.... it is working but I can't figure out how to resize the pictures hence the owl picture is very large! Got to go back to work so I'll have to figure this out in the next day or so!
Scoobie - He was really playful today as you can see in the picture. I'd toss the ball and he'd go chasing after it. He looked pretty funny carrying that big ole' ball!
Jackson - Jackson didn't see the owl the other night, could've cared less about him. I on the other hand, was a little freaked out!
dog walking on Thurs 7/8
I really wish I had time to figure out how to post pictures again on the blog.... I could've had some really cute ones! Ugh... I need an admin! :) Scoobie - we took out longest walk ever this morning. Scoobie eyed a couple of squirrels and then he wanted to run with a man that went jogging by. We did not keep up - we walked!
Jackson - we took a walk this morning and Jackson got to pee on lots of stuff. He of course did lots of sniffing too!
Hanna - Hanna was looking out the window at me when I walked up today. We played fetch while I watered the plants... I swear she is part retriever! haha
Chipper - Chipper did his exploring in the backyard and then he came in for some attention. I rubbed his tummy and his ears. He looked like he was lovin' it!
dog walking on Wed 7/7
Scoobie- I put Scoobie's harness on him today and we went for a long walk. He was fine when I put it on. He didn't act like he loved it, but he was fine. :) Once we got out on the walk, he was definitely fine! He got to do lots of sniffing and roaming around. I soaked his food bowl last night so he got a nice clean bowl this morning with fresh food! Jackson - your mom stopped why I was there this morning. Jackson just loves her... and obviously the feeling is mutual! He just laid down on his side while she rubbed on him.
Hanna - I tossed her toy for her this morning. There won't be much tossing this afternoon... it is going to be too hot. Last night I had a book with me so I sat down on the couch and read for awhile. I closed my eyes at one point.... I could've fallen asleep. I figured it was best I head home so I could go to sleep!
dog walking on Tues 7/6
Scoobie - I think Scoobie slept well last night. When I went to get him out of his crate, he came out and really stretched! And then he jumped up to tell me "good morning!" We went for a nice long walk... it is supposed to be hot today so I figured we go for a long walk when it was a little cooler! Jackson - He was funny this morning. I let him outside and he stood on the back steps for a really long time, then he sat down, then he laid down. He stayed like that for at least 15 minutes. Eventually he took off running into the yard but I thought it was funny. He wasn't very interested in sniffing (which he normally is) or peeing for that matter!
Hanna - Your neighbor told me she was crying before I got to your house this morning. I think she misses you. I threw her toy for her while I watered your plants. Yesterday I was throwing the toy for her and I had a cuff on my arm. The first time I threw the toy, the cuff went flying too. Needless to say, I started wearing it on my non-throwing arm! haha!
