dog walking on thurs 3/24

Ginger - I think she was sleeping on the couch when I came in this morning.  Is she allowed on the couch?  :)  We had a nice walk, she did lots of sniffing and she peed.  She still had some of her dinner left from last night so I added and little more and gave her fresh water.  Someone fed her a can of the wet food over the past day... I'm sure she loved that! Fillmore - I fed Fillmore this morning and then we walked around the block.  He did lots of sniffing, peeing and he pooped too!

dog walking on Wed 3/23

Fillmore - He is doing just great.  When I went last night for the last visit, I hung out with him for awhile.  After dinner and our walk, he wanted to play.  I sat down on the floor and we played and then he was ready for a little snooze, hence the picture above!  This morning we walked around the block and he got to see BJ again and another neighbor who knew him too!  He is very popular!!

Ginger - I was over to see Ginger this morning before the sun came up!  We went for a nice walk (I had my flashlight in tow) and it was a good thing.  She pooped!  She peed several times too.  I hung out with her for awhile last night too.  I had a 45 min gap in my schedule and I could've come home and then gone back out but I knew that Ginger would like the company.  She did and she got lots of lovin!  I should've had my camera with me last night but I didn't.  I'll take some more photos on my next couple of visits.

Fillmore - He reminds me of a mayor.  Everyone knows him or if they don't, they comment on how cute he is.  He seems to be doing just fine.  He is always most interested in meal time vs potty time when I get to your house so I make certain I always feed him first on the breakfast and dinner visits!  He seemed a little stiff this morning so I didn't walk him quite as far as yesterday.  I figured it was just from him sleeping all night and it was just a little chilly this morning (my black lab has the same issue.)  We just took it slow... he did lots of sniffing and peeing and he pooped too.

the dog walker on Mon 3/21

Sparky - Sparky's head popped up when I drove up.  She must've been sleeping on her bed.  I fed her and the fish and then she was ready to go outside!

Fillmore - I fed him and gave him his pills this morning.  He was really good and swallowed them (although I could tell he would've rather skipped this part of my visit!)  Then we went for a walk around the block and he got to say good morning to BJ.  He loves his walks!  I saw him twice yesterday too and he got a short walk midday and a longer one last night.  Midday:  we took a nice walk up and down the street.  The weather is just perfect!  (I typically will only update the blog once / day but I logged on to put a note about Ginger, a dog I just started seeing today so I thought I'd mentioned our midday visit.)

Ginger - Ginger and I had a nice walk at lunch time and at dinner.  I tried feeding her right when I got to the house for the dinner visit but I think she saw me and thought "it's WALK time!"  She was excited to go out so we walked first.  She did eat after we came in from the walk.  I was sitting on the couch petting her after her dinner and she belched right in my face!  Seriously!!  LOL!!

the dog walker and cat sitter on Sunday 3/20

Molly & Dora - I think Dora got hot last night.  She got up and stood at the door so I opened it.  I turned on the light to go downstairs and she just laid down on the wood floor!  Around 4:45am, they both got up and so I took them outside.  We all went back to bed after that!  Both ate breakfast this morning before I left. Suki and Yuki - We took our walk this morning and Yuki pooped.  They both peed (as usual) several times!  They gobbled down their breakfast and then Yuki wanted to play a little bit so we did!

Sparky - Sparky was waiting for me this morning... her cute little face was in the window.  I fed her and then she went zooming outside.  She grabbed her toy so I tossed it for her a few times.

PJ- PJ must've slept upstairs last night b/c he came running from up there when I came inside.  I fed him, loved on him and scooped his box.

Chester & Bailey - They are both just great.  On the last visit your son was already home so he told Laura he'd take care of them.

Homer and Easter - They are happy dogs and the weather has been just great for them!

Tiger Lily - she got lots of lovin' from both Shannon and me.  I got the medicine in her too.  We topped off her food, gave her fresh water and scooped her box.

Fillmore - I am only updating the blog once / day, typically after my early am visits.  I will probably write a quick note though re: Fillmore when I update Chester & Bailey and Homer & Easter.

dog walking and cat sitting on Saturday 3/19

Sparky - Sparky has the routine down.  Eat dinner / breakfast (which ever visit it is) and zoom our the door to check out what she has been missing.  She likes her Easter Bunny toy too. :)  The fish are all doing well too.  The big white one and big orange one remind me of Sparky.  They both zoom around too once I feed them!

Dora and Molly - I do think Molly likes laying in the sunshine until someone walks by and then she likes to bark!  :)  They're doing great.  Dora ate yesterday at our dinner visit, Molly didn't eat until I got there late last night.  Dora slept on the bed with me, down towards the bottom of the bed most of the night.  Right when we got in the bed and this morning, she snuggled up close by me.  Molly slept on the bathroom floor, right where you said she would be.  I'm headed over there shortly for our mid-morning walk.

Suki and Yuki - They were funny this morning.  Yuki wanted to play right away and Suki wanted to sleep in.  It wasn't even that early!  We went for a nice walk, the weather is perfect and then we came inside and I fed them breakfast.  They have both been getting lots of lovin' too!

Chester and Bailey - here is Laura's note.  Chester, Bailey and I have had some great walks these past couple of days because the weather is so nice -- especially in morning and evening.  Chester is soaking up the TLC. Bailey simply wants to play. We played in the backyard tonight. We played fetch with her kong toy because we couldn't find a tennis ball. We will have a good time this weekend because the forecast will be the same.  Hopefully, they will be pretty exhausted by the time you get home on Sunday.

Homer and Easter -  The last 2 pictures are ones that I took the first night.  They aren't great... they were too excited and wouldn't sit still!  The weather here has been just perfect for them to be out!

PJ - PJ is doing just fine.  He was rubbing up against my legs as I left you a note this morning.  He misses you!
