pet sitting on Tues 8/25
Maisy & Gracie - we are having nice weather today... despite the earthquake that was felt by some in Charlotte. (I did not feel it.) The humidity is gone and there has been a nice breeze today. Still hot but not as hot. All 3 of us have enjoyed being outside today. (It is late afternoon, I have been there 2x today.)
dog walking on Monday 8/22
Lincoln -He's just great. He had me laughing yesterday am on our walk when I figured out he was going by all of the milkbone stops. This morning I was surprised when he went a totally different route on our walk. We walked by the park. He did lots of peeing and sniffing and he pooped too!
Maisy & Gracie - They'd not eaten much of their dinner from last night. I did give them just a little more food this am. After our visit, I left and realized I'd left my coffee in your house. I went back in to get and no one met me at the door. They were both eating their breakfast. :) All is well!

Steve, Madison and Murphy - Steve was funny last night. He kept inching up closer to my head and by this morning we were nose to nose. M&M both slept on the bed all night too but they stayed down towards the bottom. Steve's poo was closer to normal this morning. Still pretty soft but not runny at all. He got to spend some time with Ginger yesterday afternoon and he will again today too. I saw Ginger's mom yesterday. When I went for the dinner visit, he wasn't home yet so he might not be home when you get back today! :)
Sweetie - We had a nice walk this morning and she took care of all of her business. I fed her before I left and she was gobbling up her breakfast when I left.
Maisy and Gracie - it is so good to see them again and I see what you mean about Maisy. She is being just great. She didn't run from me at all and on my first visit yesterday, she came right up to me when I grabbed her harness. This morning they played with each other and there were a couple of stuffed toys involved too. I LOVE seeing her come out of her shell. They're both such sweet girls!
Lincoln - he's such a sweet old guy :) He's been doing just great. He loved his walk this morning. I was going to turn but he wanted to go straight so guess what? We went straight! :) Then I figured out why.... one of your neighbors leaves a container of milkbones out. He obviously knows the path that leads to all of the milkbones! haha! He had a staring contest with a squirrel. I think he enjoyed his walk!!

Madison, Murphy & Steve - First off, Steve is just fine although he had diarrhea when I walked him yesterday at dinner. He only peed when I walked him last night and his poo this morning was kind of a mixture of normal and runny... how's that for TMI first thing in the morning!! :) When I got there last night and walked Steve he got to see Yuki and Cosmo. They all seemed to enjoy saying hello to each other. I made certain he stayed away from your neighbor's shoes! We all watched tv before bedtime, well Madison, Steve and I did. I'm not sure where Murphy was. Perhaps staking his place out on the bed. Steve and Murphy came to bed when I did. Madison was still sleeping on the foot rest in the den. At one point I woke up and Steve was on his back, sprawled out right beside me. Murphy slept at the end of the bed all night. Madison had to use the box about 3:45 so I got up too and the next thing I knew, all 3 of them were in the bathroom. We all settled back down until 6 when I heard something and then realized it was their food dropping. Steve and I went back to sleep!
Sweetie - we walked in the rain this morning and Sweetie didn't really seem to mind. Well, I guess she didn't have much of a choice: we were halfway into the walk when it started to rain so we had to get home. She peed a couple of times this morning and she pooped too.
Lincoln, Maisy & Gracie- since I'm not seeing them until midday today, there first post will be after my early morning visits on Sunday.
pet sitting on Fri 8/19
Sweetie - We went for a nice long walk this morning. She just trotted along in front of me for the most part. She peed 2x and she pooped. She ate all of her breakfast too. Edward and Holly - Holly and I were talking to each other. She'd whistle so I would and back and forth. She's pretty entertaining! Edward just wanted to go outside. :)

Rocky, Lucky, Mattie and Cotton - I let the dogs out this morning and Rocky and the dog next door were really "talking" to each other. I might actually say they were "yelling" at each other. I called him over and he listened. :) He peed and then I put him back in the house. While I was out with Lucky, I heard the neighbor call her dogs inside. :) I went and got Rocky and brought him back out. That was nice and quiet! Edward and Holly - Edward spent some time in his box yesterday. There was quite a bit to scoop! (and I'd scooped it yesterday morning.) I fed him and Holly and gave them fresh water too.
Biscuit - Biscuit loved his walk again this morning. He was just prancing along in front of me... happy as could be!
