the dog walker on Saturday 7/27

So sorry for not posting the last 2 days.  I've been busy working and we've had contractors at my house so I've not had much time at my desk for doing things like updating the blog.

Genny and Max - Genny has been eating well the past few days.  She actually ate most of the food in her bowl overnight last night.  She likes to go outside and then she has to come back in and give a few warning barks to remind Max and me to stay away from her bowl. :)  The weather has been great the past 24 hours - not as hot and humid!

Scoobie - he is enjoying his walks.  We've not had many instances at all of running into other dogs being out walked.  He is eating well too.

Ursa - I think she will have a lot of good sniffing to do today.  There were a couple of bunnies in your yard when I pulled up. Bacardi - she seems to be doing a little better.  She walked around outside in the yard a little more this morning.

Genny and Max - the painters had moved Max's bowl yesterday afternoon.  I couldn't find it last night so I used a tupperware bowl to feed him.  I found the bowl this morning - outside on the rail behind the grill.  No wonder I didn't find it last night! :)

Simba - we were walking last night and he was behind me.  I heard a thump and turned around.  He'd run into a light pole.  He was either looking down or possibly his sight isn't so great at night?  Bless his heart.  I felt badly for him (he was fine though.)

Gumbo - she was roaming around the backyard when I got there today.  I think there must've been some squirrels up in the trees that she was stalking.

Scoobie - He has wanted to play the last couple of visits.  He has been zooming around the house!

Genny and Max - The past couple of visits have been split between being inside and out.  Genny seems to eat while I'm there so she will eat a few bites and then we go outside.  The workers are coming today.  One of them called me... couldn't get your front door open.  I told him it is tricky! Ursa - It occurred to me about 5am today that I wasn't sure if I'd closed the doggie door.  I didn't.  I hope Ursa didn't keep the neighbors awake and that you didn't any phone calls complaining.  So sorry!  She is doing fine though.  Enjoying her meals and our time together.

Scoobie - as soon as I write is a pooping machine, he didn't poop yesterday at noon.  He still is very regular but he called my bluff on that one!

Bacardi - I left you a vm this morning.  She has had a couple of accidents in the house.  I also closed the door leading back to the bedrooms to contain her accidents.

Simba - I was up really early today (4:30am) - I'm not sure why so Simba got an early visit today (I think it was 5:30ish.)  I'm not sure if he heard me or if he was just barking but he was barking when I came in.  I think he is enjoying having the tv on and listening to all of the coverage re: the royal baby. :)  I'm enjoying getting caught up on it while I'm there. :)

Ursa - it was raining last night but she didn't seem to mind.  She went out to pee.  The night before it was thundering and she didn't seem to like that but had no problem with the rain last night! :) Simba - he is loving his walks.  He just trots along (although we're not taking very long walks.)

Max and Genny - they are enjoying time out in the yard.  Genny is eating fairly well... she always eats some while I'm there.

Scoobie - this is probably TMI but he is what I refer to as a "pooping machine." :)  He poops every time I walk him!  He is doing just great!

Gumbo - she is loving my company.  We've been taking some short walks and just hanging out.

Bacardi - won't see until tonight so no post today.  (I usually post once / day around 9-10am)

the dog walker on Sunday 7/21

Ursa -We were just hanging out on the back patio when your neighbor walked up to turn on the sprinklers.  I jumped - I didn't hear her coming!  Ursa is eating well and I gave her her meds this morning.  There was thunder off in the distance last night so Ursa peed but then she was ready to come in the house so we did.

Gumbo -  Yesterday on our walk, she was very social and wanted to say hi to everyone we saw.  When I got to your house this morning, she was in the yard and she was barking a little bit.  She didn't hear me.  She peed and then came in the house and she howled a few times.  I am hoping that she isn't lonely and isn't howling outside. :(  I took her for a walk this morning and she seemed to really enjoy that.  She is eating and drinking her water.

Max and Genny - your house was my first stop this morning and I didn't think to take any pictures while I was there.  I will try to remember to and post some in the next few days.  Dogs are doing just fine.  Genny is eating but spending time guarding her food too.  Max is just eating his... there is never any left in his bowl to guard! :)

Scoobie - Scoobie is enjoying his walks and time outside.  I'm feeding him when I get there but he isn't eating until after I leave.  He is peeing and pooping on each walk though.

Topsy and Elliott - we walked a little bit this morning.  E seemed fine to be out and she enjoyed sniffing around.  she even barked at another dog being walked!  Topsy was just curious about everything, including sticks! :) Gumbo  - LOL!  She has one walking speed, fast!!  I took her around the block.  By the time we got back, her legs were quivering so I will probably do a little shorter walks with her.  She is very social too.  She got all excited any time we saw someone else outside.

Max and Genny - Max is enjoying his time outside without his cone on!  Genny is enjoying barking at the squirrels. :)  Thanks for the fresh veggies.  I believe a couple of my neighbors might get a few cucumbers.  They are huge!

Maisy, Gracie, Simba, Scoobie - my next post is tomorrow morning and I've not seen these guys and girls yet (it's 8:55am.)
