Sam, Buddy & Willow - we took the dogs with us on vacation and here are a few of the pictures I took.  All of us love vacation!  Click the link to watch a video of us trying to get the dogs off the golf course as some golfers are coming through.

the pet sitter on Saturday 10/20

Jay and Chloe - here are Wesley's notes:   Jay's tail does not stop going back and forth when we are outside playing ball.  Maybe, this is how she keeps chasing the ball over and over again.  (Kim's comment:  that made me LOL!!!)   Chole is so adorable when she rolls on her back for you to pet her.  She is a very sweet cat; one of the sweetest cats I have met. On our walk at dinner time yesterday, Cookie & Cricket thought something smelled very interesting.

Cookie & Cricket - they are just great and now I understand why you told me I didn't need to go super early this morning.  I was there at 7:30am and I think Cricket wanted to sleep for another hour or so.  haha!  We've been taking short little walks, they've been doing lots of sniffing (see picture above!) and they've been eating well too.

Doesnt Ursas look say, why did you stop petting me?

Ursa and Vivian - just as you said they greeted me with lots of barking this morning.   I fed them and gave them their medicine. I talked to them a lot too as I was looking for Vivian's medicine.  I think Ursa understood what I was saying.... she was really paying attention to me!  I rubbed on them both a lot too.

dog walking on Friday 10/19

Scoobie - He was happy to see me and his new harness is so nice to walk him with.  Scoobie's walk this morning felt more like he was walking me, he was walking so fast. :)
Jay and Chloe - Chole was so sweet and playful.  Jay was busy chasing the ball everytime I threw it. I was thankful the rain never came.  Jay caught most of the balls I threw this morning.  Chole ate breakfast while we were out throwing balls.

Lesson #37 Learned by this Dog Walker

This has been an earlier lesson learned, perhaps one of my first but now I have another reason for doing this.  I should always, always, always take one more poop bag than I think I will need.  I was walking Turner and Bailey, 2 dachshunds so I only had one poop bag.  They don't always poop and even if both do, one poop bag is enough.  UNLESS the poop bag I have isn't sealed on one end.  Ugh!  Luckily they are small dogs, I could still make the bag work.  :)

dog walking on Sunday 10/14/12

I've seen 4 dachshunds in the past 24 hours and 2 chihuahuas, 1 boxer and 1 lab mix. My view of Louie, Lola and Sunny on our walks!

Sunny, Louis & Lola - they are great.  In the middle of the night, Sunny wanted to go out and I didn't hear him so he licked me on the face.  That woke me up!  LOL!!

Snickers - the oldest dachshund Im seeing this weekend.  Shes 11.

Snickers - She gets so excited when she realizes she is going for a walk.  It makes me smile.  We took a couple of short walks so she could take care of all of her business.  She's eaten all of her food from yesterday too.  I fed her breakfast and gave her some fresh water.

Not a great picture of Turner and Bailey.  Id just put them in their playpen.

Turner & Bailey -  Turner was most interested in chewing on things when we were outside.  He did take care of his business each visit.  We played with one of his toys inside - he is quite the retriever!  Bailey enjoyed getting some lovin'.

Stella - enjoying our walk yesterday at dinner time.

Stella - what a love bug.  We took our walks but I think she enjoyed meal time the most!  She was just fine on our walks but we didn't see any cats or birds!! :)  I know she'll be happy to see you too!

haha... Rooney wanted to carry this small branch around as we walked!

Rooney - what a ham!  We had an uneventful walk too.  There wasn't anyone else out when we were out.  He was just great!

Bear & Milo - I think all 3 of us have enjoyed our walks.  The weather in the mornings has just been perfect for a fast paced walk.

dog walking on Saturday 10/13

Bear and Milo - we've had 2 really nice walks!  The weather this morning was perfect.  We even jogged some this morning!  They're both eating well too.  Thanks for leaving out the 2nd bowl of water.  I'm not sure that they're drinking out of it but they're other bowl has been empty both visits... they definitely prefer that one! :) Snickers, Stella, Bailey & Turner, Sunny, Louie & Lola, Rooney, and Sadie - I update the blog once / day usually mid-morning after my early morning visits.  Since I'm not seeing your dogs until later in the day, my blog post about our visits will be made Sunday morning.  Please call/text/email me if you want an update before then.  It is going to be a busy afternoon and evening!  Thank you for that!
