Lesson Learned #20 by this Pet Sitter

When backing up my car, I should look behind me in case there is a tree at the end of my client's driveway.  Seeing the tree vs running into the tree is preferable.  Ugh!

dog and cat sitting on Thurs 6/30

Fillmore - He saw a cat on the walk and trotted to try to catch up to it.  He was moving pretty fast (for Fillmore!)  We never did catch up to it though. Cloud and Chloe - They were really following me around this morning.  They are going to be sooooo happy when you're home!  They are doing fine though.  They're certainly eating well.  All of the food bowls are always empty when i get there.

Jay and Chloe - I've been going to see Jay and Chloe in the am and in the pm.  I've had other visits in the evening so I've just been popping in to give Jay a quick potty break.  She's pretty much been peeing and pooping every evening visit too.  I've not run into your friends at all.

dog and cat sitting on Wed 6/29

Fillmore - Fillmore was waiting for me this morning.  I saw his cute face at the front door when I drove up (and it was early so he was up early this morning!)  I fed him and we went for our walk.  He wanted to play when we got back in the house too. Cloud & Chloe - They both wanted my attention this morning.  I rubbed on and pet both of them before and after I fed them.  They are just fine but certainly are missing you.

Jay and Chloe - Jay gobbled up her breakfast this morning while I scooped Chloe's box.  I played ball with Jay too... of course. :)

7 cats and a rabbit - I took out the sheets and shook them out this morning to try to clean up the cat area.  Someone definitely has diarrhea too... there was evidence of it around the kitchen too.  I tried to clean it up but getting it out of the carpet is tough.

Chloe is looking for a treat! Jay playing ball.  Shes a happy girl!

Jay and Chloe - Jay and I played ball this morning.  She peed and pooped.  I gave Chloe 1/2 can of the wet food.  She was excited about that.  I didn't hear a peep out of her after that! :)

Fillmore is smiling.

Fillmore -  he is doing just fine.  He took his meds again today.  Yesterday he spit the little pill out so I had to give it to him again... today he took them both just fine.

Sadie - I think I'm starting a habit that Sadie likes.  She is enjoying her walks!

Here is the other kitty Chloe that Im seeing right now.

I love the name:  Cloud.  Very cool.

Chloe & Cloud -  They are doing well.  They both followed me all around today as I was refilling the water bowls, feeding them etc.  They both got some more lovin' today too.

7 cats and a rabbit -  well, someone had dark diarrhea on the carpet.  Just at the bottom of the stairs as you walk in the door.  I couldn't find any paper towels so I used the napkins.... I will need to work on it some more tomorrow too.  I'm afraid it will definitely leave a mark.

dog and cat sitting on Monday 6/27

Fillmore - Fillmore got to see your next door neighbors this morning and he got really excited about that.  They were in their car so every time a car passed by on the walk he had to look at it.  I think he was hoping it was them! Sadie - Sadie and I took a little stroll up and down the street.  She had normal poop this morning.  :)

Cloud & Chloe - They must be missing you.  Cloud jumped up on the counter right in front of me as soon as I walked in, wanting some lovin'.  I gave them both a bunch of lovin' today.  I fed them, gave them fresh water and scooped the box too.  No messes outside the box today either. :)

Jay & Chloe - 2 kitties named Chloe on my schedule right now.  Speaking of Chloe, she was sleeping in this morning.  She usually greets me at the door but not today.  She came out after I was there a few minutes.  I tossed the ball for Jay and I fed them both and gave them fresh water.  I scooped Chloe's box too.

7 cats and a rabbit - all is well this morning.  The little tabby kitten really wanted my attention today.  I think he/she misses you.

dog and cat sitting on Sunday 6/26

Roux using the kitty door. Gracie had just woken up from sleeping in her basket.

Gracie & Roux - I couldn't get the cat door open fast enough for Roux to go out and you can see in the picture.  She stayed on the porch the entire visit.  Gracie was crazy playing with the wand by her scratching post.

Jay and Chloe - Jay peed and pooped and I threw the ball for her a few times.  I fed them both and gave them fresh water too.

It was time for night night and Moxie looks ready.

sweet, sweet Boone

Boone, Moxie, Gigi, Zena and Tiger - All 3 kitties greeted me when I came in today.  Tiger has pretty much been an indoor kitty.  He went out for about 5 minutes and that has been it.  The dogs are doing just great.  I've been putting ice cubes in their outside water bowl before I leave. :)

Fillmore and his toys

Fillmore - He was funny this morning.  As soon as we got back from our walk, he grabbed a toy and went running into the den.  He loves to play and obviously our routine has already picked up from where we left off last time.  He is funny!!  Yesterday afternoon one of your neighbors was out and she came over to say hi to him.  He loved it!

Another sweetie-pie, Sadie

Sadie - Sweet Sadie was sleeping hard when I came up today.  I fed her (you'd think she hadn't eaten in a week!  haha!) and gave her fresh water.  I took her for a short walk after that.  She did have diarrhea.  I'm hoping that clears up....

7 cats and a rabbit - Practically all of the kitties met me at the steps when I came in this morning.  I think there were only 2 missing!  There were just upstairs.  I fed them all and the rabbit too.

My attempt to get them in the same picture.  Id pet their heads and then back up and try to snap a picture.  Obviously Id pet Chloe first and she got bored while I was petting Cloud! haha!!

Cloud and Chloe - They were both up when I came in today.  I was very happy to find there were no accidents outside of the litter box today.  I tried to scoop it just like yesterday and put in the same amount of baking soda to get it just to Cloud's liking again! :)  I fed them, gave them fresh water and loved on them too.
