cat and dog sitting on Saturday 9/21

How Chloe spent her time on the walk this morning.... sniffing!! :) Chloe - I left this on the note at your house:  she is so "wiggly" when I come into your house.  I love it!  She was smiling this morning too.  We had a nice walk.  She enjoyed doing lots of sniffing (hence the picture!).

Simba - He seemed to really be enjoying his walk this morning so we took a little longer one.  Yesterday, I split the time walking and playing inside the house.  He loves meal time too and I've been giving him his pill at breakfast.

Hank just after he finished his treats.

Lula Belle was curious about me today.  No hissing, no running away!! :)

Hank and Lula Belle - Maybe I've figured something out??  When I came in yesterday, they were still stand-offish with me.  This morning when I walked in, I stopped and stood in the laundry room.  They both approached me.  :)  That is progress.  So when I was in the kitchen and even while they were eating, they both (especially Hank) seemed to be okay with having me around.  YAY!!  I fed them (and gave them treats, Lula really started "talking" to me when I got the treats out!) and I scooped their box.

Chester and Bailey - update tomorrow am since I won't see them til noon-ish today.

Sunny, Louis, and Lola - Lola must've had an upset stomach overnight b/c she was up a lot.  It wasn't until we walked this morning that she threw up just a little bit of yellow bile.  I am headed over there early (as soon as I finish this post) and I'll check on her.  I'm sure she is fine but I will keep an eye on her.  She did pee and poop this morning on the walk and it was normal. Sweetie - she is enjoying her walks and is eating much better than that first night.  She was gobbling down her breakfast when I left this morning.

Scout - We've been going outside right when I get there, then back in so I can take care of the patient and then back outside again before I leave.  He is such a good guy even when taking pills in pill pockets that he doesn't like.  I wish he would just swallow instead of trying to chew! :)  Those pills can't taste good.

Darby - he'd eaten almost all of the wet food overnight and he'd eaten some dry too.  He ate a little bit of wet this morning.  Not as much as he usually does but since he'd eaten almost a 1/2 can overnight, I wasn't concerned.

Lula and Hank - they are still enjoying meal time and I think they've figured out now that I am feeding them.  No hissing at me this morning. :)  LOL!

Madison and Murphy - I know you get this but I have to be really careful not to trip over them b/c they are truly under foot when I'm carrying their plates of food!

Chester and Bailey - they are doing well.  I didn't walk them yesterday at dinnertime.  It was really hot and muggy.  We hung out in the yard and I fed them.  Shannon has been giving Chester his meds too.

Sweetie out on our walk this morning. Sweetie - I was a little concerned b/c Sweetie hadn't eaten much of her dinner Thursday night and she didn't eat her breakfast Friday morning.  She did want to eat grass.  Friday afternoon though when I got there, she'd eaten and she ate last night and now this morning too.  So, I think she is fine now.  She is enjoying her walks too!

Happy kitties.... meal time!

Hank and Lula Belle - I have the routine down after last nights visit and now this morning.  I come in, they hiss, I feed them and then they are fine with me. :)  Lula is circling the island as I get her food ready too.  Silly cats!!

I took this last night so its dark.  Bless his heart, Id just put the warm compress on his paw.

Scout - I've been giving him all his meds per your note.  Thanks so much for leaving all the specifics the way you did.  That is helpful!  He is being an excellent patient. :)  He'd eaten all of his dinner from last night.

Madison and Murphy - they were happy to see me last night (although I forgot to take their picture :( )  It was about 4:15pm so they were extremely happy to eat dinner early!

Lola, Sunny, and Louis - they are doing just fine.  We've been taking our walks and we spent some time in the backyard yesterday too.   They are all eating well.... Lola of course!  She does love that chicken!

Darby after he just finished eating

Darby - all of his wet food had been eaten and he'd eaten some of his dry too when I got there this morning.  (It was right at 7:30am when I got there so earlier than I thought.)  He ate his wet food while I was there too.

Jay and Chloe - last night if Jay could talk she would've said, I am really happy that my pet sitter has the flashlight app on her phone!  Jay's ball went under the deck and the only way I found it was by using my flashlight app.  I've been giving each of them some wet food with each meal, they love it!

Jay is smiling b/c she knows Im going to toss the ball for her. Jay and Chloe - They are both doing great.  Chloe is vying for my attention when we're in the house (so I'm giving it to her!) and Jay is loving chasing the ball.  I gave them each some wet food this morning and they were happy about that too.

Louie - He is loving his walks.  He is eating well and I've been giving him his pills.

Harley and Skittles eating = happy kitties! Harley and Skittles - What sweet kitties.  Harley even got brave and would sniff me but he never let me pet him.  I just let him be... he would chase toys that I tossed and Skittles let me pet her and she chased some toys too.  They are playing while I'm not there too b/c the toys (and your flip flops) are in different places each time I go back!

Jay and Chloe - it is nice to see them again.  Jay greeted me at the door.  We went out back so she could play a little bit.

Madison and Murphy - I saw them last night for the last time.  They've been greeting me at the door each visit and have been very happy to get fed.  I know they'll be very happy to see you!

Louis - He says Happy Birthday mom!!  (a little belated!)  He is doing great.  He's enjoying his walks.  He definitely associates me with walks.  He gets all excited and runs to stand right beside his leash every time we come in from the yard!  I've been giving him his medicine too and now I might add whipped cream cheese to my grocery list.  It looks really good!

Lucky, Rocky, Maddie and Cotton - all of them have been happy to see me... I think mainly because the kitties know I will feed them and Lucky likes to play outside.  Rocky has enjoyed roaming around outside too.  Both dogs have enjoyed getting pet too.

Louis -
