dog walking and cat sitting on Sunday 1/29
Chester & Bailey - I got to see them for the first visit yesterday!!! Chester was sprawled out on his bed when I got there. I gave him a belly rub but I could hear Bailey dancing around in her crate so the belly rub didn't last very long. We all went outside in the yard, I played some with Bailey and the dogs played some together. I brought them in to feed them and then we went for a short walk. Chester had a little giddy-up in his step but he certainly seemed to enjoy walking. We took it slow so he could do some sniffing and peeing. :)
Jay and Chloe - They are doing just fine. Jay ate her food by the time I went for the midday visit yesterday. I fed them both dinner last night and Jay was eating when I left. I will see them again a little later this morning but I probably won't post another note after that visit.

Jay and Chloe - They are doing just fine! I've thrown the ball for Jay (I didn't hit any trees last night and only once this morning!) Jay hasn't eaten yet but she is very happy to take a treat from me though. Chloe is very happily eating! I scooped her box this morning too.

Madison & Murphy - Madison and Murphy must've been eager for treats because someone got the treat container all the way from the counter to the floor...unopened but a few bite marks. Plus, their last two cans were on top of it, a precaution for this very thing, now that's what I call determined! I figured someone was Houdini when I found the treat bag inside something else in the first place! They were very affectionate as usual and had great appetites :-) everything is going well here! Murphy rolled over on his back for today's brushing :-) Madison groomed herself! Jackson - He was snoozing good this morning. He was on the couch and stayed there... so I came over and rubbed his belly. I think he would've stayed there the whole visit but I did get him up to go outside. He is not a fan of the cold weather! He got some more lovin' when he came back in.

Jackson - He is doing just fine! Yesterday afternoon the weather was great and we both enjoyed being outside! Last night we both enjoyed being inside - it was cold! After we went outside, I ended up turning on the tv and finished watching American Idol. The girl that does my hair knows one of the contestants (they were Bobcat cheerleaders together) so I was waiting to watch her audition and of course she was the next to last audition. Jackson got some extra lovin' and he didn't seem to mind! He was eating when I left this morning.
Madison & Murphy - Murph and Maddie are as sweet and affectionate as ever today. :-) They were happy to see me, especially because I feed them I'm sure! ;-) I'm realizing that they are some of the few kittens that come when you say their names! That comes in handy when trying to be the resident animal photographer!! Lol
Sam - Sam is my newest client and I'm going to be so excited to see him during the week! He is a walker and I'm going to get my exercise. I can't wait!!

Madison & Murphy - Murphy and Madison are just awesome! I visited with them for an hour because I just could bear to leave! They were giving ME so much love :-) lots of green feather time too. Madison is a maniac with that thing!!! It is hanging on by a thread, quite literally! Lol they ate and all was well.
Sweet Zack, RIP
Zack - anyone that knows me knows that I love all of the older dogs. They just get to me. When we adopted Buddy our black lab, we were told he was 8-10 years old. When I met Zack earlier in 2011, he was 13. Of course, I was instantly in love. I got to see him several times over the course of about 6 months but unfortunately over the holidays he lost his battle with kidney failure. Rest in peace sweet boy. I think Sloan must've been waiting for him when he arrived in heaven.
