dog walking on Tues 7/27
Homer & Easter- they're still doing just great. Hank stopped by before lunch and put them inside because it was getting hot outside. Unfortunately it isn't supposed to be as hot today but they're calling for bad storms, lots of wind, etc. Ugh! Scoobie - Scoobie was playing with his scoobie-snack when I left this morning. He was pretty funny. We took a nice walk this morning and he got all excited when he saw a little dog. I think his staying in the kitchen at night is working well!
Jackson & Quigley - on the way to your house, the thunder and lightning started. I was sitting at a stop light and saw a lightning strike and knocked out the power to the stop light where I was waiting. Needless to say, short walk b/c I didn't like the idea of being out with dogs with metal collars around their necks. Jackson and Quigley weren't bothered at all by the storm.
dog walking on Mon 7/26
Scoobie - I think he likes me. He is always very playful when I come in now.... he has definitely gotten used to me. We took a nice long walk this morning, he actually pooped 2x.
Homer and Easter - They are doing just great. Homer just wants to be pet and Easter is just happy! They're both so cute and so sweet.
pet sitting on Sunday 7/25
Homer and Easter - I went to see them first this morning because Homer drank a bunch of water last night so I figured he'd need to go outside. He did! Last night at the dinner visit, I had to wait in the car for a few minutes before I went inside. Major pouring rain. It had been thundering and lightning too but that had stopped. Homer wasn't bothered at all. I could see him sleeping against the door when I walked up. I'd left Easter out of her crate with Homer and they were both just fine this morning (so was the room!) She had pulled the towel in her crate out but it looked fine too.
Scoobie - Scoobie must've slept well last night. He was all fired up this morning and ready to play. I tossed his pink ball for him a few times but I figured he needed to get outside so I put his harness on and we went for a walk.
Chester & Bailey - They're doing just great. We went for a walk this morning, both pooped, and they snarfed down breakfast. Pretty much the same thing as yesterday morning. :)
Jackson - We went for another walk this morning and I think Jackson peed on every light post and tree we passed. He should be good for awhile. haha!
Tiger Lily - She reluctantly took her medicine again today. I got to her when I first got there so she didn't have time to hide under the bed!
pet sitting on Sat 7/24
Tiger Lily - Yea, I got the medicine down. She wasn't happy about it but I gave her lots of rubbing afterwards so perhaps she forgave me :) Chester & Bailey - your friend called and is going to spend the afternoon at your house. The dogs will be so excited I'm sure! She told me where you are which I'd not known and I'm completely jealous. Would love to hear specifically where you are... :) Everyone is doing just fine: peeing, pooping, eating, drinking, and playing ball.
Scoobie - We went for a nice long walk this morning and he is doing just fine. He's eating well. He still is pooping pretty frequently though although like I mentioned, he seems to be doing just fine.
Jackson - He is doing just fine. I've been trying to get a picture of him on the couch nestled in all the pillows but he always moves when he sees the camera. ugh!
Sparky - She is doing just great but is going to be very excited to see you.
pet sitting on Fri 7/23
Sparky - Sparky got a treat last night. I dropped by to feed her dinner and I let her back outside. I did a couple of other pet sitting visits and then I went back by quickly to just put her back in the house. (No charge of course for the extra visit.) I was close by and I knew she'd like the extra time outside. She gobbled down her breakfast and then zoomed outside this morning. Scoobie - Scoobie loved it when I took his halter off last night. He wanted to play! He grabbed one of his stuffed toys and went running around with it. It was pretty funny. He was a little shy to come to me this morning but eventually he did. We went for a walk and he pooped.
Chester & Bailey - Laura did the dinner and late night visit last night and per her note, all was well. This morning I watered your plants, fed them and then we walked around the park.
Jackson - We took a walk this morning. His tongue was hanging out of his mouth when we got back but I'm sure he would've kept going.... forever!
Tiger Lily - well..... not as successful today with the medicine. She greeted me at the door when I came in but as soon as she saw/smelled the medicine she backed away. I got close to her one other time but then she went under the bed. I lifted the bed and she was wedged between the wall and the nightstand.... she wasn't coming out. So sorry... I will try again tomorrow. This is much different behavior from last time. She didn't automatically run from me last time. Hmp!
dog walking on Thur 7/22
Scoobie - Scoobie had eaten most of his dinner yesterday. Last night on our late visit, we took a longer walk... it was a little cooler. We had another long walk this morning... he did lots of sniffing but I didn't catch him eating anything. I have the same issue with my yellow lab and the rabbits. Ugh!
Jackson - I was sitting at the kitchen table last night and watched Jackson push his dish underneath the couch. Then of course he wanted it. Of course, I pulled it out for him and actually expected him to push it back under there but he didn't. He ate! He slept well last night... the pillows on the couch were all messed up :)
Chester & Bailey - We took a walk around the park this morning. Bailey found a tennis ball that she carried for a little while. I am doing the lunch visit and then I've asked Laura to do the dinner and late pm visit tonight. She is also going to do the late pm visit for me tomorrow night.
Sparky - I'd put Sparky inside yesterday afternoon and I'll do the same again today. The heat index is supposed to be between 100 - 105.... ugh! I guess I should have some water in front of me right now. She is doing just fine. I put a few pieces of food in her purple kong last night again to give her something to do when I left.
