pet sitting on Wed 8/17

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton - they are all doing just fine although one of the kitties coughed up a furball.  It was on the wood floor, very easy to clean up!  I played with Lucky this morning, then I fed them all and scooped the litter box. Edward and Holly - Edward was really talking to me this morning.  He still had some food in his bowl so I think he was telling me that he wanted to go outside.  I gave him so more food but I didn't let him go outside.

Biscuit - he reminds me of Charlie who is pictured below from a visit over the weekend.  I forgot my camera this morning so I couldn't take his cute picture.  We had a nice walk and he did lots of sniffing.  I don't think he wanted me to leave... which always just breaks my heart.  Sweet boy!

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton- I think Lucky is all back to normal.   She just peed yesterday, didn't poop for the afternoon / evening visits.  She did poop this morning (up in the far corner of the yard so I didn't go and check it out though!)  We played and Rocky barked at the dogs next door.  Are those dogs new?  Or visiting?  One of them sure is loud! Edward and Holly- I fed Edward, scooped his box and while I was scooping he was sitting at the back door.  I know he wanted out but I didn't open the door.  I gave Holly more food and fresh water too.

Hadley and Ollie - Ollie slept in the room with me last night and Hadley slept in your bedroom.  Sprawled out on your bed... :)  I didn't hear him cough any more so I didn't give him any more medication this morning.  I ran back over and put them outside.  It was 70 this morning.  Very nice!

Gaylord and Finnegan - they've been in the mood to play the last several visits.  Last night, they were "wrestling" and took turns rolling around in the grass and jumping at each other.  They were pretty funny!

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton - I did roll up the rug.  There haven't been any accidents in the house.  I'll keep an eye on her and see if the diarrhea clears up.  I did cut back on her food last night for dinner and this morning.  Everyone else is doing fine.  Lucky is doing fine too...acting normal but just urgently having to "go" at times.

Edward & Holly - yesterday I would've thought you had 2 cats.  Holly was meowing! hahaha.  I've already seen them today too.  Edward has been happy to see me because he's ready to eat and I've fed Holly too and given both of them fresh water.  I've scooped Edward's box too.

RIP Bosco

At the age of 10, Bosco was adopted by someone I know because I'd heard that he needed a new home.  I let my friend know about him so she adopted him.  Little did we know that Bosco was a sick kitty.  About 3 weeks ago he was diagnosed with diabetes and he's since been getting insulin injections 2x/day.  Unfortunately on Friday he suddenly became very lethargic and he stopped eating.  He was taken to the vet on Saturday and was diagnosed with pancreatitis.  The vet said the outcome was not good so Bosco's suffering ended yesterday.  Bless his little heart, he is in a better place. He was the first kitty that I pet sat for that would follow me as I walked his dog-sister.  We'd be out walking and 10-20 yards behind, Bosco would be following us.  Thanks Bosco for the cute memory of you!

dog walking and kitty sitting on Sunday 8/14

Gaylord & Finnegan - We went out in the backyard so they could both pee, then I fed them breakfast and then we went for our walk.  Your neighbor with the labrador was out so we had to walk in the other direction to avoid  what I will call "over-interest" that the dogs seem to have for each other. :) PJ - PJ was sleeping on the back of the couch when I came in.  He looked pretty comfy.  I fed him and scooped his box although there wasn't too much in it.

Rose - I see Rose midday during the week.  She obviously likes her "box" and was pretty comfy when I walked in one day this past week.  She didn't even move.  LOL!

Chester & Bailey - Chester's legs have seemed a little less stiff these past several visits.  Both mornings we've walked around the park.  I brushed him last night... wow is he shedding!  It was dark so I couldn't really see to pick up all the fur.  There was so much of it I tried taking a picture of it but it was too dark.  It rained during the night and that took care of most of it otherwise I'd planned to pick it up this morning when I could see!

Charlie & Maggie - Charlie and I had a really nice walk last night.  It is so much cooler outside than it has been.  Much, much better!

Gaylord and Finnegan - I was debating this morning which they liked better:  breakfast or their walks.  I'm not sure.  Might be a toss up!

Madison & Murphy - you are going to have 2 shadows following you everywhere when you get home!  They've been great but I know they really missed you.  They probably missed Steve too!

PJ - PJ has enjoyed getting his head rubbed.  When I'd try to stop, he'd just rub up against my legs.  I've been feeding him and scooping his box too.
