the dog walker gets to walk a service dog
Keona - we at See Spot Run have had the pleasure of walking Keona, a service dog. I feel so honored and humbled to walk such an important dog.

Madison & Murphy - I didn't see anymore throw up today. I fed Madison and Murphy each 1/2 of their breakfast (1/4 can), then you can see by the pictures how they each spent the next little while and then I fed them the rest of their breakfast before I left.
Mr Lucky Meow, Movin' On and Oh No - Mr Lucky Meow and Oh No have been super sweet. Movin On has come around but does hang back as if he's not so sure about me. They'd not eaten much when I got there yesterday. I thew out most of the food you'd left. I gave them new food and they'd gobbled it all up by the time I got there this morning. Someone had chewed on and opened the bag of greenies. I put it in the silverware drawer so they couldn't get to it. They're all doing well! PS I know you said you only had 3 kitties and it didn't occur to me that last time I pet sat you had 4. I think I am correct but perhaps that is Squeakers and not Movin On??

Madison & Murphy - I was writing you a note getting ready to leave after feeding them, scooping the box and loving on them and I heard Madison. She threw up 2x. As I was cleaning it up, I saw another spot on the rug where she must've thrown up earlier. She is acting fine. I might feed her 1/2 of the food right at the beginning of my visit and the other half as I'm leaving. Perhaps she is eating too fast. I've run out of paper towels and couldn't find any spare. Where do you keep them? Mr Lucky Meow et al - I will see them dinner time today and will post about my visits tomorrow morning.

Madison & Murphy - they both came running when I opened the door today. I loved on them and really got Madison's motor going. I fed them, gave them fresh water and scooped the box for Murph!
Genny, Max and Scottie - they're all doing just fine. Shannon saw them last night and I saw them this morning. Scottie ate his dinner outside last night with Shannon while the other 2 ate inside :) and I fed Scottie at first out of my hand this morning to get him to eat. He did! I put them in their crates before I left and Shannon will be there at lunch time to let them out.
Lesson #24 Learned by this Pet Sitter
I should have a spare flashlight in my car. This past weekend, I was really busy so I was out very early pet sitting. Needless to say, it was still dark. I used the flashlight as I was walking up to my first client's house and then I used it in their backyard. I thought I remembered laying it down on their kitchen table. On my way to my 2nd visit, I was digging for my flashlight in my large bag that I carry and I couldn't find it. This was not good. I REALLY wanted it on my next visit. As I was walking up to the house, I dropped my keys into the side pocket of my bag and guess what, there was the flashlight. I must be living right! It would be a good idea to have a 2nd flashlight in the car though. Must put that on the list of things to buy this weekend.
My work bag is so big and full of so much stuff, I should triple check it before assuming that what I'm looking for isn't in there.
