the pet sitter on Thurs 5/9

Millie and Sadie this morning Sadie & Millie - When I'd taken this picture, Millie had eaten, both had been outside and Sadie had taken a few bites.  I think Sadie was guarding her food. :)  Sydney left me a note yesterday.  She'd noticed a red circle on Millie's tummy.  I looked at it last night and it looks like a bug bite to me.  It had a red dot in the middle and a red circle around it.  If I had to guess, I'd say a spider bite.  It was much less red this morning (more pink.)  I will continue to keep an eye on it but I think Millie is fine.  She is acting like her crazy self:  full of energy and hungry! :)  Wish I was with you... particularly on Saturday.  Crazy I know but I've always wanted to do a cooking class in Tuscany.  Some day!!  All of the other days on your itinerary sound fabulous too... The Chianti region tour..... etc.

Jay and Chloe - this morning there was a slug on the chuck-it.  Yuck!!  The first thing that went through my mind was how many times have I used that chuck it and not washed my hands afterwards.  Don't even want to think about it.  I used a paper towel to clean the handle and when I left, I put the it in the laundry room. :)  Jay is doing just fine and has no problem at all with the slugs.  Chloe is doing well too!

the dog walker on Wed 5/8

Jay and Chloe  - they are doing great.  Jay has enjoyed chasing after the tennis ball and Chloe is always waiting for us at the back door when we come back inside. Millie & Sadie - they are great too: enjoying time in the backyard and their walks.  I am wearing my good walking shoes... knowing that I will get my exercise with them!  I am guessing that you aren't checking the blog regularly so I might not post everyday, just fyi.

the pet sitter on Monday 5/6

Jay and Chloe - You have trained Jay well!  She sits nicely so I can wipe her paws off since it has been raining.  I just have to be careful b/c being right at eye level with her means she will try to sneak in a kiss... she got me right on the lips this morning!  Chloe is doing well too! Madison & Murphy -  they come running when I walk in the house because they think they're starving. :)  I haven't seen any accidents on the floor either.  If you check this, I will dump your litter box trash can when I put the trash out.  Where do you have extra Harris Teeter / Target bags so I can put in a new one in the trash can?

the pet sitter on Sunday 5/5

Jay and Chloe - I stayed a little longer this morning and played ball with Jay.  They are calling for heavy rain later today and it wasn't raining this morning so I thought we'd take advantage of it.  Jay didn't mind!  They are both eating well too. Louie & Domino - Louie knocked over the gate last night so Domino escaped his enclosure. :)  I found him sleeping on the rug by the front door.  Crazy Louie...  I figured something was up when I saw him come down the back stairs.  They are both fine.  The house is too. :)

Madison and Murphy - haha... they were enjoying a little Beyonce when I walked in last night.  I fed them dinner and they gobbled it up.  I scooped the box too.

Ursa and Vivian - They both wanted to eat before they even went out for their potty break this morning.  I gave them their meds first, fed them and then they had their bathroom breaks.  Priorities!!  They are both doing just great.  Last night, Ursa grabbed her tennis ball so we played a little bit in the yard.
