dog and cat sitting on Saturday 5/5
ok.... the last time I pet sat for Hawk and Turk, I also pet sat for Jay and Chloe. Now again this weekend, I'm pet sitting for both. I have to say though, I pet sat for a dog yesterday named Quigley that might be more ball obsessed than both Hawk and Jay. Seriously.... he wouldn't even drop the ball to eat his dinner. Now that is obsessed. haha!!
Hawk and Turk - Thanks for leaving the chuck it out. The dogs thank you I'm sure!! Hawk is funny. There are a couple of balls in the backyard but one of them is definitely his favorite! They are funny to watch both of them chase the ball too. I think Turk is faster but Hawk follows the ball better. Funny!! I walked them together last night and I think Hawk peed 3x and Turk more than that! oh.... yesterday afternoon I could tell that Turk had something... I walked over towards him and he growled at me so thenI knew then for sure he had something. (I didn't go any closer to him, needless to say! :) ) I put the dogs in the house and sure enough, he had a dead mouse. Yuck. I glanced around for a shovel but couldn't find one so once again, thank you for leaving the chuck it out b/c it was my shovel. I tossed the mouse over the fence. I let Turk back out and he looked around for it but once I fed him his snack, I think he forgave me. :)
Jay playing with a ripped tennis ball
Jay and Chloe -I was trying to get video of Jay shaking the ball around. Yesterday afternoon she was really shaking it around but by the time I pulled my phone out, she'd stopped. Last night, the ball kept getting stuck on her nose and she looked like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer when he had the plug on this nose and he talked funny. I was laughing at her! Chloe is doing well too.
Sadie - Sadie is turning into a cow b/c all she wants to do is eat grass! She wanted to last night on the walk and this morning too. She didn't eat her dinner last night before I crated her. She sniffed her food this morning but didn't eat it but she did eat 2 treats that I gave her as I left. Hmmmmm. She seems to be feeling okay and she did drink some water. Hopefully she'll eat during the day today.
Quigley & Jackson- they have a chuck it too. I used it once. Quigley doesn't know the command "drop." haha!
Happy Birthday Willow
Today is Willow's birthday. She is 7, we think. We were originally told that she was 5 but the birthdate we were given for her makes her 7 today. Regardless, Happy Birthday to our girl!

pet sitting on Sunday 4/29
Callie playing in the yard Callie, Lizzie and Harry - I've had a few Lizzie sightings but I left her be. I didn't want to make her more nervous by trying to coax her out. Last night, both Callie and I woke up in the middle of the night so I got up and when I came back, Callie cried a couple of times so I took her outside. We came back inside and went back to sleep! We played this morning and then I fed her and the cats and I scooped their box.
Gibby and Harley - They were zooming all around the yard this morning. I think they like these cooler temperatures. I sure do! Harley brought in some pine needles with him this morning so I was pulling them out of his fur. :) They've eaten all of the food each meal.
Suki and Yuki - Yuki was ready to get up this morning but Suki would've slept in (it was 8am... so not too early!) We walked and they both peed and pooped and then I fed them breakfast which they both ate. Suki has been slow to come to her bowl to eat but she eventually does and then she eats it all.
pet sitting on Saturday 3/28
Hi. All is well with Suki, Yuki, Callie, Harry, Lizzie, Gibby and Harley. I'm having problems getting on my website, so sorry if you are too. I've got an email into the hosting company to find out what is up. Hopefully this will post! More to come shortly but I wanted to at least post a note so you would know all is well!
Callie, Lizzie and Harry - They are all just fine! Yesterday for the dinner visit, Callie and I played outside first. She pooped and peed and ran along the back of the fence because there were dogs in that yard. A large dog and 2 tee-tiny dogs! :) I couldn't tell if there were puppies or chihuahuas!! I gave her the medicine and then fed her dinner. I fed Harry and Lizzie and scooped their box too although there wasn't much in it! Last night when I got there, I took Callie out (it was just starting to rain) and then we came in for the night. She slept well, she repositioned herself a couple of times but always laid down with part of her touch me. I loved it! We went outside 2x this morning, I fed them all and scooped the litter box.
Gibby and Harley - I snuck up on Harley this morning, he was totally zonked in his crate.... until I put the key in the door. Then he was barking like crazy! They were great both visits yesterday and this morning too. I've been putting a little bit of water on their food and giving Gibby his pills.
Suki and Yuki - the weather this morning is perfect for walking! We took a long walk and Yuki did just great... I can only remember him digging in his heels once and stopping. (He did stop to sniff and pee several times.) :) They ate all of their dinner last night and breakfast this morning. I timed the visit last night well. It started to sprinkle on us when we were out walking. By the time I left, it was really raining!
