Lesson Learned #44
Always, always, always check the backyard gates to make certain they're closed. Even for dogs that I've seen for 3 years and the gate has never been open, still check! That way Brady whose cute picture I was going to post here but I can't get photobucket.com to work, won't go for a little excursion in the neighbor's yard (and give me heart failure.) He was totally fine and came right to me, thank goodness!

Milo - We had a nice walk yesterday afternoon. It started to rain here right afterwards too - we got lucky! I apologized to Milo this morning. I forgot to tell him about the time change so when I got there this morning at 7am, he probably thought it was 8am. (now, this is where I always confuse myself. the morning after the time change, turn the clocks back, means that 7am is 8am, right? or is is the other way around....?? i can never get that straight in my head.) Anyway, I fed him first this morning in case he thought he was starving and then we took our walk. :)

Hank and Lula - They both greeted me at the door (and no hissing.... until Lula went for Hank's food bowl.) I scooped their box too. Sparky - I went by early and let her out and fed her and then ran back by this morning to let her out for the day.

Sparky - I fed her dinner last night and then she seemed ready for night night. This morning I went over just before 6am and let out to zoom around for a few minutes and then I fed her breakfast. I'll go back over shortly and put her outside for the day.

Chester and Bailey - I saw them last night and again this morning. They wrestled around in the yard last night (which I stopped because they were too close to the brick wall and I was afraid Chester was going to fall.) He didn't seem concerned at all but I was! I took them for a short walk this morning after breakfast. Ollie, Fozzy and Sunny - I am going to stop back by again mid-morning to check on Fozzy. It was so dark this morning when I was there I couldn't see his leg very well. I want to make certain it is okay.
Sadie and Millie - Millie had peed again when I got to the visit last night. The midday person was there at 1:30 and said they'd had a bunch of water after their walk and I got there just after 8pm. They both peed on the walk this morning 2x and Sadie pooped but Millie didn't.
Strega, Sun, Nebula and Nova - They are all loving meal time. There weren't as many bowl hopping attempts yesterday. They all finished at about the same time.
Lesson #43 Learned by this Pet Sitter
So this is more of a question and my take on what the answer might be: Why do all dogs stop and sniff tree branches that fall on the ground? I think it is because they smell like squirrels. Other explanations?
