the dog walker on Mon 4/18

Mattie likes laying on the scratching box! Cotton, right??

Lucky - after playing outside

Rocky likes his bed!  This is where I found him :)

Lucky, Rocky, Cotton and Mattie - They are all doing just great.  I have the morning routine down at least:  Lucky comes running from the bedroom, grabs her toy and is ready to go outside.   I have to call Rocky to wake him up but then he comes running too.  Lucky and I played each visit while Rocky sniffed around the yard.

WWF

Jackson & Quigley - we had a moment of WWF wrestling today.  They were pretty funny and they didn't try to get me involved in the wrestling match so what'd I do?  Pull out my camera of course!  They're a ton of fun!!

Callie just finished eating

Baby following me downstairs

Baby & Callie - Baby definitely knows that Puddin isn't home.  She's been downstairs every time.  Today she even met me at the door!  Callie is always on the bed but gets up to come and eat when I'm there.

Chester after the walk.

Bailey didnt have a tennis ball outside or at least she couldnt find one so she posed for a picture instead.

Chester and Bailey - Look who I got to see today!  Chester greeted me at the door.  We all went outside for a potty break, I fed them dinner and then we went for our walk.  Man, that is some tree that came down over the weekend.  It's been awhile since I've seen the Monsters:  did they trim the magnolia tree across the street??? Seems like I didn't have to duck down :)  LOL!!

dog walking on Sunday 4/17

Here's Shannon's note:  Chester and Bailey are doing very well this weekend!  We've had a few beautiful walks.  Bailey's swagger just cracks me up~ she's such a lady !!  Chester got some snuggles at first light today, in his bed, as I'm sure he had JUST woken up!  He stretched and gave me kisses :-)  Sweet boy!

the dog walker on Wed 4/13

Here are some other boys and girls I've seen lately: Quigley is a leaner.  When you pet him (particularly his ears), hell just lean into you.  I love it!!

Heres an action photo of Ginger and Steve racing around the backyard.  (I havent quite figured out how to effectively program the shutter speed on my camera!)

And another photo of them playing and having a great time!

Peli is smiling Jacksons brother (pictured above as part of the Jackson 5.)  I got to meet him for the first time and what a happy guy his is!

Brady and Ferguson hanging out in their newly fenced backyard.  They love it!!!!

Love them all!  Love my job!!!!!

the dog walker, Sam and Buddy

Buddy is smiling for the camera! Sam in his backyard.

Sam is very happy in this picture!

Buddy & Sam - this is how my boys and I spent today, a really nice Sunday afternoon in April.  Sam is happiest when he is wandering around the backyard.  At 13.5 yrs, he tends to wander a lot so I have to keep my eye on him.   Needless to say, his name gets yelled a lot as he tries to wander out of our backyard.  Buddy I think would prefer to be in the house but as long as I'm outside with him, he'll tolerate it for awhile.  Of course, I bring "his pillow" outside so he can lay on it and not have to lay directly on the grass or the deck.  Spoiled??  Perhaps.  He's 10 and we rescued him 2 years ago.  I figure whatever makes him happy! :)  We love our boys!

the dog walker and cat sitter on Sunday 4/3

omg... love, love, love this picture of Lucky.  Look at how cute she is!! silly Rocky wouldnt sit still long enough for me to snap his picture!

I think this is Mattie.... :)

and I think this is Cotton!

Lucky, Rocky, Cotton and Mattie - They're all doing just fine.  I took Lucky and Rocky outside 2 times this morning (right when I got there, then I fed them and then I took them out again.)  I'm glad I did, Lucky needed to poop the 2nd time!

One of the sweetest boxers ever!  Sweetie!!

Sweetie - look who I got to see yesterday!  Sweetie!!  She looks soooo good.   I just love how wiggly she is when she is excited!  LOL!  I got kisses from her too.

Charlie looking rather innocent but I know hes been up to a little mischief :)

Charlie & Maggie - I think Charlie has been a little bored.  Yesterday when I came in (I think for the dinner visit), he'd been in the bathroom trashcan as evidenced by the shredded kleenex on the floor.  This morning, he'd been in the cat box and he'd open 2 of the cabinet doors on either side of the cat box.  I let him out this morning, fed him and let him back out again.  Maggie was really talking to me too.  I gave her a little more food and fresh water.
