the pet sitter on Sunday 9/4

Chloe just finished her breakfast and I gave her a little more canned food so shes very happy! Jay is waiting for me to throw the ball!

Jay & Chloe - Since I'm seeing them 3x today, I went by early this morning so I can space the visits out.  It was still fairly dark but Jay could still see the ball and chase it!  I fed them both and scooped Chloe's box too.

Scoobie - Scoobie was ready to go for his walk this morning.  He pooped, peed and did lots of sniffing!

Sparky was busy checking out her yard.

Sparky - She met me at the door this morning and went zooming around outside.  She ate her breakfast and then she was ready to go out again.  I tried snapping a picture of her... .she wouldn't stand still.  She was very busy sniffing!  I fed the fish too and refilled both of her water bowls.  I'll keep an eye on the weather.  Chance of storms today.

Ollie is just like Jay (see note below Jays picture.)  He just wants me to throw the ball!

Hadley seemed very happy to come inside this morning vs staying out.  He plopped down on the floor and looked ready for a snooze just after I took this!

Hadley & Ollie - Hadley sniffed around the yard this morning while I played ball with Ollie.  After I fed them, I left them inside.  I was at your house fairly early and Hadley had already barked once so I didn't want to totally tick off your neighbors. :)  They both seemed just fine coming inside.

Ms Bailey - soooo photogenic!

Chester & Bailey -Chester and Bailey were FULL of energy this morning!! Chester was making circles in the den! Hilarious! Maybe his leg feels better :-) They both made all of their potties during our visit, partly out back, the rest on our (short) walk! Great visit!

Lincoln - Lincoln greeted me with a scary Halloween mask today! Eeek! Hahaha I placed the tub of Halloween decor up on the kitchen counter for the remainder of our visits! When I took it from him he offered his lobster instead! So cute! He went pp and potty and enjoyed his breakfast! I let him roll around in the yard a bit too!

the pet sitter on Sat 9/2

We had a thunderstorm last night from about 7:15pm - 8:30pm.  It totally caught me by surprise.  I was at dinner, had on flip flops (not a good choice) and I'd parked far away from the restaurant.  At 7:45, I decided to make a run for it b/c Sparky was outside and I was worried about her.  I should carry an extra pair of shoes in my car.  The towels in my car did come in handy. :) Sparky- she was in the screened porch, was dry but ready to come in the house.  I fed her dinner and loved on her.  Your power must've blinked b/c the a few of the clocks were flashing but you had power.  She was fine this morning.  I fed her, she went zooming outside and I fed the fish too.

Back to last night:  My house:  decided to run by my house and change.  It was pouring, thundering and lightning so trying to get the dogs I needed to see to go outside was going to be useless until this storm let up a little bit.  I couldn't get internet at the restaurant so I couldn't pull up the weather to see when this storm was going to pass.  I would also check the radar when I got home.... well no I wouldn't b/c I didn't have power.  Ugh!

Action photo of Jay!

Jay & Chloe - you had power.  Yea.... pet sitting in the dark isn't fun so I was happy that your lights were on!  It was still raining and lightning occasionally but no thunder so Jay was fine to go out, pee and play ball.  I played with her again this morning and fed them both and scooped Chloe's box.  I gave her some canned food this morning too so she was very happy!

Scoobie - You had power last night too although clocks are flashing at your house.  Scoobie was just fine.  It started to rain a little harder while we were out walking last night but the lightning had stopped. :)  We took a  nice walk this morning.  He did lots of sniffing and he peed and pooped too.  He'd eaten all of his dinner from last night.  I fed him breakfast.

Ollie panting after playing ball.

Hadley just wants his head rubbed and when I stop, he looks at me like: why did you stop??

Hadley & Ollie - You had power too and I was tempted to stay the night at your house in the a/c! :)  However, I knew my boys wouldn't be happy if I did that and it was good that I went home.  Both my dogs were pretty nervous b/c of the storm and I think Sam our yellow was just hot with no a/c and no fan going.  Your boys are doing just fine.  Last night they didn't seem to mind the weather at all (it had stopped raining) so I tossed the ball for Ollie a few times and rubbed Hadley's head. :)  This morning someone had left a small present for me on the rug in the dining room.  (It was very easy to clean up.)  I played ball with Ollie and I left them outside to enjoy this nice morning.

Sweet Lucy is taking a break from playing ball Lucy - I get to see Lucy periodically during the week.  She's such a sweet girl and loves having her tummy rubbed.  She actually likes any kind of "rubbin!"

Scoobie loves his treats!

Scoobie - We took a nice long walk this morning.   Scoobie was really interested in a couple of people who were out exercising!  He got to see one of your neighbors too!

Sookies tongue is always licking me or her brother Sawyer.  Silly girl!

Sawyer is a big old love bug!

Molly was working on her suntan!

Sookie, Sawyer and Molly - here are some other cuties I get to see regularly during the week.  The boxers are 9 months old and soooo cute!  I love 10 yr old Molly too.

dog walking on Thurs 9/1

Scoobie- He's been just great.  He comes up to me as soon as I walk in.  He hasn't been afraid at all!  We've enjoyed some nice walks and on our last walk, he was really watching one of your neighbor's dogs as they walked on the other side of the street.

pet sitting on Thurs 8/25

Maisy & Gracie- They are doing just great.  I've not taken my camera again since Maisy doesn't like it so I don't have any other cute pictures to post.  They were funny last night.  They were playing with each other.  Maisy makes me laugh the way she jumps up and down if I toss a stuffed toy towards her.  What progress she has made!  A year ago I never would've been able to toss a toy... it would've scared her.  They both had eaten their dinner from last night.  I fed them breakfast.  They both peed and pooped this morning too.

pet sitting on Wed 8/24

Maisy & Gracie - Maisy was so excited when I came in for the midday visit, I thought "she must really need to go outside and pee."  She went outside and just laid down in the sunshine.  I think she was excited to see me.  Ahhhhh.  I love it!
