the dog walker and cat sitter on Sat 12/31
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
Chester & Bailey - I got to see them this morning! :) They are doing fine but I am laughing as I'm typing this. I got there, let them out to potty, fed them, gave Chester his pill and then we went for our walk. According to Shannon's posts, she's gotten Chester to take his pills just fine. He was having no part of it this morning... even with cheez whiz. I got it down but my hands were covered in cheese and Chester had some on the side of his face by the time I was done. Bless his heart. Bailey the whole time was just begging for it. Next time Bailey needs meds, I think she'll take them no problem with a little cheez whiz!! :) They both peed again on the walk and Chester pooped. I think he forgave me too once I pulled his leash out. I love that boy.
Sweetie - She is doing just great. She greeted me at the door this morning and we went out back. She peed, pooped and then she wanted to eat grass. I fed her and gave her fresh water before I left.
Sadie - Thanks Sadie for the very nice walk this morning! The weather was perfect. Crisp out but not cold. She peed a bunch and she pooped 2x. I fed her before I left.
Max and Genny - here is Shannon's post from yesterday: Max and Genny were perky pups today! I stood to the side as Max ate, poised with the cone for quick adornment ;-) he's quick to lick! (Sorry...couldn't help myself!) All was well...took his pills and spent lotsa time outside!

Sadie - She is doing just great. Our walk last night was a little shorter (she did pee and poop) but it was really dark! This morning we took a longer walk, she peed a bunch of times and she pooped too.
Sweetie - She is doing just great. She was excited to see me last night. Her whole body was wiggling. She curled up in her bed for a belly rub last night before I left. She greeted me at the door this morning. We went outside and then I fed her breakfast.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Cinnamon and Nutmeg were very sweet today! Cinnamon followed my lead by flipping over on her back on the floor! She moved a lil as I snapped her picture, sorry for the blur ;-) Nutmeg has been very playful and loving as well! Always smells my shoes near the door... haha!
Chester & Bailey - Chester and Bailey were awoken from their dreaming earlier than they'd like this morning! They were my first visit at 530 :-) Chester grunted along the way, but went pp out back before breakfast...and cheez whiz pii/treats!!!! He lives for this moment these days ;-) Bailey wanted her stick...but I've hidden it again :-) heehee. All ate, walked and did their "business"! Lol Genny & Max -Max and Genny were perky pups today! I stood to the side as Max ate, poised with the cone for quick adornment ;-) he's quick to lick! (Sorry...couldn't help myself!) All was well...took his pills and spent lotsa time outside!
Gray Cat - I had to go looking for her today and when I found her, she hissed at me. haha. I left her alone. She still had plenty of food. I gave her fresh water and left out a few treats for her.

Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Check out Nutmegs curly tail!! In my experience, when a cat curls their tail...they are happy cat!! He was my helper in writing your notes. :-) I opened the sliding glass door (with the screen pulled closed) to let in some fresh air for a few minutes, and they really enjoyed it! All is well here :-) Cinnamon is such a love muffin!
Eli, Peyton & Chaos - We had a very productive morning today! All 3 peed and pooped when we were outside! :) I did find someone's pink slipper that had become a chew toy. I hope they weren't new and a present from Santa.
Hadley & Ollie - I had them in all day yesterday. With all the rain even though it was sunny out yesterday, I thought it was still chilly and probably muddy in the yard. They did just fine (no accidents in the house!) and I still tossed the ball a lot for Ollie. Hadley didn't want to come in last night though.... I finally lured him in after what seemed like a long time but was probably on about 10 minutes of coaxing. :)
Chester & Bailey -Chester was snoozing in the cutest position when I arrived this am...quietly I reached for my phone to take a picture...it was still in my car! Oh well! He was adorable anyway!!! Even without documentation ;-) They both inhaled their breakfast, post Chester's cheez it/pill wonderland! They both peed and pooped on our (very cold) walk!

Hadley & Ollie - they're doing just fine! We have the routine down: throw the ball for Ollie, pet Hadley. That's pretty much how the visits go! Chaos, Eli & Peyton - Eli was waiting for me at the door this morning. I must've been loud getting out the car and I woke her up! Everyone peed and Chaos and Eli both pooped. Someone had pooped on the red carpet (I'm assuming it was Peyton.) Other than that, they are all just fine!
Chester & Bailey - here is Shannon's note: Chester and Bailey are well today! Chester is taking his pills, no problem at all! (I give Bails a few pieces of her food since she thinks this whole cheez whiz thing is grossly unfair!!!! ) Hahaha. Its gotten cold here but they are still enjoying their walks and outside time. Bailey is obsessed with her stick and will only come inside if there's food being served :-)
Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Cinnamon and Nutmeg ran to greet me at the door today, awww shucks ;-) (I don't think they were trying to sneak out, just happy to see me!) They have been very playful and loving! They're eating and using their box! All good here!
Baby & Callie - I'm not going until later today so I will post then or perhaps not until tomorrow.
pet sitting on Tues 12/27
Eli, Peyton & Chaos - they are doing just fine although I have heard Chaos coughing every time I've been there. She doesn't cough for long (and it doesn't really sound like a cough to me) but she's been doing it. I did give her a bendryl last night and she's been getting her injections too. Eli and Peyton haven't eaten much. There was still food in their bowl this morning and I've not filled it since you left. It was pouring this morning... not much fun to be outside!
Hadley & Ollie - Ollie didn't mind the rain this morning. He still wanted me to throw his ball so I did a few times but then I brought him in. Hadley was already in... he went out and peed and then I think he preferred to be inside and not out in the rain. I did let them both out again after they had breakfast and before I left.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Cinnamon and Nutmeg were ready for some more food today. Both food bowls were empty and the water was almost all gone too. They ate, drank, purred.... and are now content. :)
Chester & Bailey -We had a great visit this am, despite the rain! Chester has taken his pills, twice now, with cheez whiz! Hope his belly is okay after all of this, guess the meds gotta get in there somehow :-) No walk this morning because it was pouring. They did potty out back, just hope it will slow for their midday visit! I had a hard time getting Bailey inside tho~ she wanted to hang on the back porch (with her stick) I guess ... Silly girl!

Cinnamon & Nutmeg - Cinnamon and Nutmeg were ready for some food and playtime today! I gave them fresh water and took care of their box too! We had a lil Christmas carol singalong...in honor of the holiday season! LOL!! All is well!
Sox - He met me at the door today. He was ready to eat and his water bowl was empty again. He did his business 2x yesterday too... that was a first. He'll be very happy to see you!!
Hadley & Ollie - Hadley and I had a conversation when I got to your house today. He was insisting on taking his what I could tell was "new" stuffed toy outside. I told him I was certain there were several toys already in his back yard and that he should keep his new one inside the house where it was warm.... and clean. :) I finally won but then outside he stole Ollie's ball. I guess he was telling me that I should've let him take his own toy outside! I fed them breakfast too.
Gray Cat - She met met at the top of the stairs and she stayed out with me the whole time. She even played just a little bit. She had plenty of food and water!! :)
Rosie - here is Shannon's note: Rosie was full of energy this am :-) We played ball, she got a long brushing session, she ate breakfast and made "all of her potties." ;-) I even chased her around the yard before leaving! She's a sweet sweet girl! Genny & Max - Shannon's note: Genny and Max had a great visit this am! They gobbled up their breakfast, (and Max his pills). The time came where I needed to crate him for the housekeepers, and I suddenly felt like McGyver :-) Max went in, I built the crate around him and...THE CONE!!! Chester & Bailey - since Shannon isn't seeing them til later in the day, the first post will be Tuesday.
