dog and cat sitting on Saturday 7/2

I forgot my camera last night and this morning so no updated pics. :(  If anyone has special July 4th / fireworks instructions, please let us know.  Southpark is shooting theirs off Sunday night and uptown Monday night.  Ugh.... 2 nights of scary noise for the dogs. Chester & Bailey - here is Shannon's note:  Chester and Bailey were great this morning,  very excited for their walk as usual!!  Lots of wildlife to see~ Bailey darted at a few chipmunks, but I told her of my "no terrorize" policy ;-) heehee They ate breakfast and meds~ all is well!  (Shannon makes me laugh, btw!!)

Sweetie - here is Yvonne's note:  Sweetie was happy to see me this morning. She peed and then went in and ate her breakfast.  We went back out and she pooped.  She is such a sweet girl- perfect name for her!!

Lucky and Rocky - here is Yvonne's note:  They were very excited this morning. They both went out and peed. I fed them but they weren't very hungry this morning. The kitties came out and had their breakfast as well.  We went back out and Lucky pooped. I watered the plants outside as well. Then the funniest thing. Lucky and Rocky played a game of chase around my car....they were hysterical!

Sadie - Sadie gobbled down her breakfast and then we went for a walk.  She's always really excited to see me but she loves her walk too... I'm not certain which she likes more:  food, me or walking!

Baby & Callie - Baby met me downstairs and Callie was curled up on the chair in your bedroom.  Callie came to eat though as soon as I poured food in her bowl.  On my way out, Baby followed me downstairs and used the basket in the formal living room as a scratching post. :(

Cloud & Chloe- Both of their motors were really going this morning.  We've not had any more incidents of poop outside the box.  Perhaps Cloud was just mad that you left and now he's decided that I'm okay. :)

Eli, Peyton and Chaos - Eli makes me laugh... she's always so happy to see me and then she has to kind of bounce around the back yard.  She's a pretty stout girl to be "bouncing!"  She peed 2x and pooped.  Peyton peed 2x and Chaos once.  Chaos got her shot this morning and last night and I gave Peyton her 1/2 pill last night too.  Oh, and Chaos got one drop in her eye too (but you probably knew that!)  All got treats this morning before I left.

Jay and Chloe - I threw the ball for Jay, fed them both and gave them fresh water.  I had my back turned to them and I heard Jay snap at Chloe.  I'm not sure why... I'd not heard that before.  They weren't that close to Jay's food but maybe that is what it was.  It was over in 1/2 a second.

Bosco - I think Bosco must've wanted a midnight snack.  The 1/2 can of food was on the floor and most of it eaten.  I gave him what was left with his pill, refilled the dry food bowl and scooped his box.

Fillmore - I'm seeing a lot of white dogs this morning.  It is nice and cool outside too (and low humidity.)  Fillmore and I enjoyed our stroll through the neighborhood!

Chester and Bailey - It is sooo good to see them.  Shannon had 2 good visits yesterday and I went this morning.  I let them out back, fed them and then we went for a walk around the park.  The weather is just perfect and they both just trotted along enjoying their time outside.  Both peed and pooped and they've all been getting their meds per your note.

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton:  I did the lunch visit yesterday and then I met Yvonne at the dinner visit and she's been doing the visits since then.  Here is her note from this morning:  Rocky and Lucky were very excited this morning.  They both peed and pooped. Lucky ate about half her food and Rocky ate only a few bites. I feed the kitties as well. I also watered all the plants outside.

Chloe & Cloud - Cloud's motor was really going today.  They both got a lot of lovin' again today and they ate it up.  I fed them and scooped the box.  I've been watering your plants too.

Jay and Chloe - I gave Chloe 1/2 can of food this morning.  She really liked it and I think Jay wanted some too!  I threw the ball for Jay and scooped Chloe's box.  I've been watering your plants too.  That one by the back door wilts fast but it always perks back up. :)

Sadie - sweet Sadie was snoozing pretty good when I walked up today.  She always loves her breakfast and she's been enjoying her walks.

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!

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.

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.

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 -  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!

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.
