the pet sitter on Saturday 3/30

Chloe - I walked her yesterday early afternoon and then she spent the rest of the day and overnight with Ginger!  I know she is having fun.  I will check with Ginger's mom to see what their plans are for today. Theyd just greeted each other and were waiting for me to feed them.

Mr Peaches and Wolfgang - they are just great.  Yesterday afternoon, Wolfie was in the yard when I pulled up and then Mr Peaches came around the corner, doing his best impression of downward dog.  He was really stretching - I think we woke him up!

Sparky - she was funny last night.  I could hear her running around the bottom of the backyard.  It was like she was just letting everyone know she was going in for the night.  It rained overnight but has stopped now.  She's outside and happy!

our walk yesterday afternoon

Sunny, Louis and Lola - They all slept just great.  This morning we had to take our walk in the rain and they didn't love that.  Lots of cars always slow down and look at the dogs when we're out walking.

She was looking for bubbles.

Molly - it was lightly sprinkling at your house so I thought Molly would be ready to walk.  She did a little, peed a couple of times and pooped and then stopped.  I waited her out and then she did walk!  YAY!  I fed her breakfast and gave her a treat before I left.

Turkey Lurkey - I stopped over yesterday afternoon and she was really talking to me.  It was so nice outside, she should've been outside but she was in.  I'll head over there again shortly.

Amy, Romeo, Oscar - Amy is using the cat door to come in the house.  I'm not sure if she's using it to go back out b/c this morning she acted like she really needed to go out.  The kitties are just fine too.  I've been giving Amy her pills too... she is very patient when it comes to swallowing them.  She spit them both out twice before I finally got them down the first time. :)

Ursa and Vivian - I met Wesley there last night.  We gave Vivian her medicine, fed them and then took them out.  Both peed.  We put them inside for the night.  Wesley is doing the rest of the visits.

Nebula - Im guessing coming into the kitchen for meal time!

Nebula, et al - Here is Wesley's note:  Feeding 5 cats is like feeding livestock.  They all come at you at once.  All are very sweet.  (that made me laugh!!)

Jackson - I won't post until tomorrow since I'm not seeing until a little later today.

the pet sitter on Friday 3/29

Chloe - wanting me to pay attention to her instead of taking her picture! Chloe - We took a nice walk last night and again this morning.  She ate all of her dinner from last night and I refilled her bowl this morning.  I talked to Ginger's mom last night.  Chloe is going to get to see Ginger today!!

Jay, Oscar and Romeo - I left Jay out this morning. I propped open the door to the screened porch and I shut the gate.  I fed her and put her water bowl on the porch.  The kitties had plenty of food.

Also nice to hear...

I have a client whose scheduled changed and so she canceled a visit and then added on a visit in 5 days.  This is the note she sent me:  "Thank you. You're a life saver." Knowing that her dogs get a walk and potty break while she works and the peace of mind it gives her, makes me feel really good.  And I love her dogs.  It is definitely a win win!!

this is always nice to hear....

Here is part of an email I recently received from a client after I sent out the last edition of Spots Illustrated (my monthly newsletter.) Happy Anniversary! We cannot put into words how important you are to us for looking after Casper. And of course, the peace of mind we have in our trust of you. Thank you for what you do every day. It does matter a lot, and we wish your business much continued success.

dog walking with Bear and Milo

Bear and Milo - they were really ready to walk yesterday so I made sure I was really ready to walk this morning!  Yesterday I had on jeans.  This morning, running shoes and yoga pants!  We had a great, long walk this morning.  We jogged some but I can't keep up with Bear!  I let them rest a little bit after our walk this morning before I fed them breakfast.  Bear didn't seem crazy about waiting. :)  They're both doing great!
