dog walking on Monday 8/2
Eli, Peyton & Chaos - they're eating well and Eli seems to be pooping every visit. :) They're all doing just fine and are enjoying their time outside. Max & Genny - they're both eating well too and it's no problem at all getting the medicine down them. I can't believe they eat their pills just by dropping it in their food. They're making it pretty easy on me!
Biscuit - we had another nice long walk today (I think I could use a massage after walking Biscuit!) He's been great for me!! He did see a couple of other dogs this morning that got him all excited but I distracted him by taking him the other direction.
Duke - here is Laura's note about Duke: <!-- .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Tahoma } -->
pet sitting on Sunday 8/1
Jay - I let Jay out to pee this morning and of course I tossed the ball for her a few times too. Then I had to wipe of her feet b/c it has been raining and needless to say, she got muddy! Eli, Peyton & Chaos - Eli had pooped last night and there was poop in the dining room this morning so I'm guessing it must've been Peyton. I cleaned it up and took the trash out too b/c it was pretty full anyway. They'd eaten all of their food yesterday afternoon (Peyton was eating while I was there.) They'd not eaten much overnight, the bowl was still full.
Max & Genny - If you're checking this, I'm going the rest of the visits starting this morning. Genny bit Shannon's foot last night so I thought it would be best if I did the rest of the visits. I will call you when you get home to talk about it. Both dogs were just fine this morning. They both ate their breakfast and pills.
Tiger Lily - I pet her a lot before attempting to give her the medicine this morning. She wasn't happy about it but I think I got most of it down her.
Biscuit - it's been raining so she was wet and the yard was really muddy. Her bowl was pretty icky too. (I cleaned it out before I fed her.) We went for a walk and she saw a couple of people that got her all excited. She wanted to say hi, but I didn't let her. :)
Hanna - My visits yesterday were around 8am, 4pm and 11pm. When I went this morning (around 8am), there were 2 pee spots on the rug in the den. They were dry so I'm not sure when she peed. I looked for some cleaning solution but didn't see anything. I wet them and tried to soak up what I could. She has been peeing outside every visit and she pooped yesterday on one of the visits too. I threw her toy for his this morning and it's been raining so her little legs got pretty wet. I've fed the outside fish yesterday morning and this morning and I fed the inside fish 2x / day too.
dog walking on Saturday 7/31
Biscuit - I know I'm a dog walker but really, most dogs I walk like to sniff more than walk. Not Biscuit... and your neighborhood is hilly! I'm psyched. I will get a great workout this week and Biscuit loves it. He has the cutest face. He'd be trotting along and he'd look at me and smile.
Hanna - She did a lot of sniffing around the bushes near the deck. She obviously was trying to find something. I played with her some too. I have her treats when she came inside. She peed and pooped outside this am too.
Ben, Frankie and PJ - Someone was dreaming last night :) I think it was Frankie and I'm guessing she was chasing a squirrel in her sleep. It was pretty funny! We had a nice long walk this morning and Ben seems to be feeling just fine. He ate all of his breakfast this morning. PJ has been sleeping in your room... although I think someone else had been too. The pillows on your bed were all over the place!
Eli, Peyton & Chaos - They are all doing just great. Yesterday afternoon, evening and this morning, they all went outside and took care of their business! When I went last night, their food bowl was full. This morning it was empty so someone was hungry. I refilled it and gave them fresh water.
Genny & Max - Max and Genny are doing just fine. I met Shannon yesterday midday and she is doing the rest of the visits.
Homer & Easter - Here's Hank's note from this morning:
pet sitting on Fri 7/30
Ben, Frankie & PJ - Ben threw up last night in the backyard when I let them out before bedtime. He seems totally fine (he was chasing PJ around this morning) but he didn't eat his dinner last night. I cut back on his breakfast this morning and he ate it and his poo was normal too. Frankie enjoyed the walk this morning. She was on the lookout for chipmunks and squirrels the whole time. PJ tried to scoot outside last night.... I got him though (thank goodness!) Biscuit - We went for a nice walk this morning and he sniffed lots of stuff and peed several times too! We didn't have any squirrels sightings :) I fed him and put some ice cubes in his water.
Homer & Easter - Hank's note from Thursday night: No poop accidents today. Homer still has a little watery poop but it seems better. For the dinner visit, they each got a walk. I was able to jog to the end of the cul de sac with them and we walked back. I gave them each a beefhide and Easter gobbled hers up and stole Homer's. I got it back for Homer. Since they were inside most of the day I left them outside and will put them in the house when I go back late night.
pet sitting on Thurs 7/29
Ben, Frankie & PJ - Everyone slept well last night. Ben and Frankie were in the bedroom with me and PJ must've slept on your bed. They had a nice long walk this morning and I left them in the laundry room. I cleared everything out: the litter box, PJ's food (that wouldn't have lasted very long!) and the clothes rack. I figured they'd like the extra room.
Homer and Easter - here is Hank's note from last night: Homer had diarrhea in the laundry room. I wonder if he is getting a bug or something because when I walked him earlier he did a pretty good poop. I'll see what happens in the morning but when I took him out tonight he seemed ok. When I came for the mid day visit I saw a note from David that the dogs had pooped in the laundry room. It had to have been right after I left last night. I don't know what time they came home. I left around 9:15. When I let the dogs out they had both pooped so I don't know what happened. Today everything is fine. They were in the yard when I got here for the midday visit. I gave them both a treat and fresh water and left them inside. David had left a note to put the laundry in the dryer and I did. His note also said to put Easter in the crate overnight and I will do that when I come later. For the dinner visit I gave them food. I walked both alone. It went fine. They enjoyed bopping down the street. I gave them each a beefhide to chew and they sat in the living room chomping away. Homer didn't eat his food until I was leaving. Easter had no trouble with hers and tried to also eat Homer's. I took it away from her. **I've asked Hank to cut back on Homer's food and no treats until we figure out if there is something wrong with his tummy. Easter had diarrhea on Saturday for my first visit but she seemed fine so I didn't think anything of it. Perhaps you have the doggie flu at your house??" They seem to feel fine though and they are drinking plenty of water. I asked Hank to look for signs of lethargy.
dog walking on Wed 7/28
Homer & Easter - Hank has walked them and has been playing in the yard with Easter. While playing in the yard, Homer is content to sit and watch. On the evening visit, he'll give them a rawhide and let them in the den. We've had thunderstorms the last 2 days and neither one have been happy about that, especially Homer.
Scoobie - Scoobie was excited to see me this morning. We went for a nice walk and he found a hurt butterfly. I felt badly for it. It had a chunk taken out of its wing. You have some huge butterflies where you live. I enjoy seeing them. They're just beautiful. Scoobie was eating his "scooby snack" when I left!
Rose & Lucy - pictures taken Monday. They've been doing just great!
