Suki & Yuki - Suki is happy b/c it is much warmer outside and the high today is supposed to be 84! That's going to be hot! Suki got a belly rub when I got there this morning, before she even came out of her crate. She is so funny... very slow to wake up in the morning but Yuki on the other hand wakes up right away. Funny! They both peed several times and they both pooped on the walk this morning too. Sparky - I saw Sparky last night and this morning. Last night she found her 2 toys right away one of which is a stuffed rabbit. Did she get her Easter basket early this year? :) She has snarfed down both meals and then is ready to get back outside.
PJ - PJ is a very good greeter. He comes running every time I come in. He's doing well and still enjoying the catnip!
Wooley - Wooley has been very excited to me... I think b/c she is always ready to eat! She has enjoyed her walks too.
Easter & Homer - I got to see them last night. They were both very excited and they met Laura too. She is going by there today. I'll post her note tomorrow am most likely.
Chester & Bailey - Laura was going by to see them last night after we saw Homer and Easter. She'll email me later today with an update. I will try to post it later today but it might not be until tomorrow.

Suki & Yuki - When I got there this morning, Suki rolled over on her back for a belly rub before she came out of her crate. We went for a walk but it was 38 degrees so Suki was cold. I carried her part of the way. They both peed, Yuki pooped. I will probably only update the blog once / day so most likely there will not be another post until tomorrow.
PJ - PJ ate almost all of his food last night. There were only a few pieces of dry food left. He was happy to be given his breakfast this morning and I scooped his box too.
Sunny, Louis and Lola - All 3 of them loved being outside today. I should say all 4 of us did! The weather is beautiful and they enjoyed doing lots of sniffing while we were out.

It has been awhile since I've posted pictures of some of the dogs that I see midday. I thought I'd show their cute little faces and tell you about how I spend my days:
Casper - Casper is silly! He zooms and I mean zooms around his house for part of his visit. Today he did as soon as we walked in the door from our walk. He likes to play fetch too and he jumps from rug to rug in his house to jump over the hardwood floors and it makes me laugh! Generally by the end of the visit as I'm leaving his parents a note, he collapses!
PJ - We had a box top at my house that I thought would be good to put PJ's catnip in and based upon the picture, I think I was right. As soon as I put it down, he crawled in. He scratched at it and rolled his face around on it. I think if the box was bigger, he would've totally rolled in it. Funny, funny!!
Brady & Ferguson - Brady and Fergie got to say hello to a neighbor today and they loved that! The rest of the visit, they just sat and were perfectly content to just watch what was going on. I always say they're working on their suntans!
Nick and Bandit - they love their walks and sniffing where all of the other dogs have walked before them!
Suki and Yuki - they're so cute and I love Suki's sweater. They just pranced along on their afternoon walk. It was nice outside... the sun came out.
Ginger - she's my walker! I know I'll get a good walk in when I'm seeing Ginger.

PJ - I don't remember giving PJ catnip before. I did and he really likes it! haha! I fed him and scooped his box too.
Lesson 16 Learned by this Pet Sitter
This is really a lesson I would like to learn, actually 2 lessons: 1. When walking dogs, why do they have to walk over and get as close as they can to the road to poop? Sorry if that is TMI... but it happens with a lot of dogs and I'm just curious!
2. When playing tug-a-war with dogs and rope toys (for those owners who allow their dogs to play this game), why do the dogs always want to bite near the handle where my hand is?
Just curious....
