dog and cat sitting on Thanksgiving 2011
Rocky, Lucky, Maddie and Cotton - they're all doing just great but I'm having a hard time finding sticks to throw for Lucky. There are lots of leaves back there. No deer sightings so far either :)
Chester & Bailey - I did your first 3 visits and Shannon is going to do the rest. OMG!!!! I LOVE Chester's bed. I think he loves it too! He just rolled over for a belly rub when I came in for the dinner visit yesterday. This morning we went for a walk and they both did some sniffing and peeing. It's cold and Chester started to hobble a bit so I cut the walk short (I was fine with that b/c I was cold too!)
Eli, Peyton & Chaos - We had a very productive morning.... all 3 peed and all 3 pooped! They're doing well.
Sparky - It seems really cold to me this morning but is supposed to warm up to mid 60's. My car said 38 but it seemed colder. I left Sparky out but I thought about it..... I thought about letting her out to potty and then putting her back inside and popping in later to let her out but she seemed fine to be out. It was just me worrying. :)
Jay and Chloe - this morning (haha!): 1st throw: the ball hit Jay. 2nd throw: the ball bounced and then hit Jay. 3rd throw: ball hits tree. Seriously!! All is well other than Jay might prefer a pet sitter with a better throwing arm!
Genny & Max - they went out to pee this morning then came right back in for breakfast. They went back out after breakfast. I've been feeding them their "snack" for dinner too.
Lo and Sprinkles -Lo, private eye, is scoping out the happenings on the sunporch...squirrel activity outside this am! They greeted me at the door, acting like they haven't eaten in days ;-) very warm welcome and great visit too!
Lincoln - I will post after the Friday am visit.

Sparky -Her cute little face popped up in the window as I was walking up. She ate her breakfast and then she went outside. I fed the fish, left you a note and then I refilled her water bowls. She picked something up and was carrying around the yard.... a dead chipmunk. Yuck!
Jay and Chloe - I thew the ball a lot for Jay last night and again this morning. It is really nice outside! It did rain overnight but it had cleared up this morning. I fed them both and I scooped Chloe's box too.
Eli, Peyton and Chaos -Someone had peed on the kitchen floor last night. I'm not sure who it was b/c they all went out and peed right away when I took them out. All was well this morning. Chaos still seems just fine. Her eyes look better too. I'm only putting drops in once / day.
Turkey Lurkey - She was really talking again today. She was yesterday too! She was upstairs today and wouldn't come down. I went up there and she was just sitting on the ottoman, talking! She did come downstairs and I'd rub her head for a few minutes and then she'd eat, then I'd rub her head some more then she'd eat. That's how we spent the visit. :)
Rocky, Lucky, Maddie and Cotton - I will post tomorrow after my early am visits.
Max and Genny - I will post tomorrow after my early am visits. I'm doing the visits today, Shannon might take over as of tomorrow.
Chester & Bailey - I will post tomorrow after my early am visits. I'm doing the visits today, Shannon might take over as of tomorrow.

Chaos, Eli and Peyton - Eli really had to go out when I got there last night and then she pooped 2x. It was dark so I couldn't tell if she was pooping or if she had diarrhea but it took her awhile to go so I was concerned. I only fed them about 1/2 their dinner last night in case she had an upset tummy. I went early this morning and she was fine and no accidents in the house. She pooped again this morning and it was normal. Chaos and Peyton are doing fine too. Turkey Lurkey - she was really talking to me when I came in today. I rubbed on her and then while I was feeding Ben, she went outside. I guess I woke her up and she decided she needed to go explore outside. It is really nice here today! Is Ben the name of the hermit crab? I think that is what the note said... I never knew his name.
Jay and Chloe - I will post tomorrow morning after my visit tonight.

Eli, Peyton and Chaos - I've only heard Chaos cough once more. It didn't last long but it still does sound really "croupy." Her energy level seems fine too. Yesterday afternoon and last night, she hopped up the stairs herself. I did help her up this morning which after sleeping all night doesn't surprise me. E & P are doing well too!
dog walking on Sunday 11/20
Max and Genny - they went zooming outside this morning, peed and then they both came back in to eat breakfast. We went back out after they ate and they barked at a bird. :) Peyton, Eli and Chaos - they're all doing just fine. Chaos has seemed pretty energetic too! She's been getting her insulin, I gave her eye drops last night and her benadryl. I have been carrying her back up the stairs though. Liked you said, she hasn't wanted to come back up them. She did cough this morning right when she got up but it only lasted a minute or 2. I didn't hear her cough at all last night although Laura did when she went by yesterday afternoon.

Max and Genny - they're doing just great. This morning, Max was very excited to see me. I'm thinking, he must really need to go out to pee. No, he just wanted his breakfast! They both ate and then they spent some time outside. Genny was shivering like she was cold but she didn't want to come back in. Silly girl!!
