dog and cat sitting on Thanksgiving Day 2012

Chester & Bailey - here is Shannon's note from this morning (and thanks to Shannon for sending it so early!!): The monsters are well this Thanksgiving holiday!  They were super excited to see me yesterday-Bailey almost bowling me over when she came shooting out of her crate!  Its been awhile since Ive seen them!  Chester was in a deep sleep last night, I had to call his name a few times and then I rubbed his belly- ahhh...love me some Chester Bear!  All is well at the hacienda! Sparky this morning just after eating her Thanksgiving breakfast!

Sparky - Sparky has been full of energy on our visits.  She has been really happy to see me when I pull up and I have learned to not pull up too far into the driveway.  Yesterday she greeted me with both front paws on my car door!  LOL!  (The door is fine.)

Sweetie - I took her for a short walk this morning.  It was really early and dark so we didn't go too far.  She peed 2x.  I just let her run around out back last night.  I fed her breakfast this morning.

Rocky, Lucky, Maddie and Cotton - they're all just great.  Lucky was full of energy this morning so I thew a bunch of sticks for her.  Rocky was roaming around in the leaves too. I couldn't see him but I could hear the leaves crunching underneath his feet!

She was walking over to me so I could pet her.

Turkey Lurkey - she is doing great.  She has let me pet her quite a bit and I've decided she is a social eater.  She always eats while I'm at your house! LOL!

Wesley's note:  Peach, Roxy and Mini make the sweetest sounds when I go to feed them.  Ashley, Ollie & Lincoln are good.  Ashley and Ollie play when they come in from outside.  Neville and Clemmie have been greeting me in the driveway when I come up.

If you are a client who is leaving later today, I will not post about your pets until Friday morning.  I'm just posting once / day to the blog, after my round of early morning visits.

Sparky - she is just great.  She was really excited to see me last night and she had to show me her bone.  She is obviously very fond of it! :)  I tried taking a picture of her but it was dark out last night and this morning... I'm going to be hard pressed to get a decent one of her! Other clients leaving to go out of town today:  I am posting to the blog once / day after my early morning visits so the next post will be Thursday morning.  If Shannon or Wesley is seeing your pets, I hope to have their notes for the blog by the time I post but I apologize if I don't.  If you don't see a post on the blog and you're curious, please feel free to text / email either them or me directly.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

dog sitting on Sunday 11/11

Maisy & Gracie - I'm thinking that is different food that you're feeding them.  They both love it!  They've been eating as soon as i put it in their bowls.  They've enjoyed hanging out in the yard too! Max and Genny - they've been just fine.  When I get there I let them out and then they come back in to eat and then they go back out again.  We have the routine down!
