It is impossible to pick up poop with mittens on. Trust me on this one.
Lesson Learned #46
When it is cold outside and during allergy season, I should always make certain that I have kleenex in my pocket. Have learned that one the hard way a few times lately.

Greta and Abbey - they are doing just fine. I saw them yesterday for the first time at the dinner visit. Your neighbor and I had been texting back and forth during the snow. She came over while I was there during my first visit so we got to meet. Someone has pooped in the house 2x. When I got there at dinner yesterday and now again this morning, I found it. Abbey is peeing a lot too. I'm not sure if that is normal for her or not but I will keep an eye on it today and may contact you about it. I fed them dinner and breakfast, I saw them last night around 9pm for a potty break and I've given Abbey her pills too (1 yesterday at dinner and 2 this morning.) I was hoping to leave the dogs outside when I go at noon today but it is raining. :( The yard is pretty muddy too b/c of all the snow that is melting. Oh and Abbey likes to eat snow! Silly girl!

Jay and Chloe - they are just great! Jay is enjoying chasing the ball around the yard. Chloe just wants attention. Jay keeps trying to tell me that every time she comes in the house, she is supposed to get one of those "jerky" type treats. I keep telling her, not every time, especially when it is time for breakfast or dinner. She is very persistent! Amy, Oscar and Romeo - Oscar got a little close to Amy when she was eating breakfast this morning and she gave a little "grrr" to let Oscar know she wasn't sharing. Oscar got the message and left her alone. They are all doing just fine. All 3 were in the house this morning when I got there... sleeping in on a cold morning. :)
Harley & Skittles - they were hilarious again this morning with the laser. Skittles had to follow me upstairs too when I scooped her box. It is like she is supervising or something!

Harley & Skittles -Today I found the mouse light for the first time. Honestly, I'm not sure who had more fun: them or me. Harley is crazy going after it - he kept me very entertained!
Jay and Chloe -I took Jay out several times this morning. It was cold so we didn't stay outside the whole visit like we typically do.
Amy, Oscar and Romeo - They were all sleeping when I came in this morning. Amy took a good long stretch as I walked in the door. I fed her and made certain Oscar and Romeo had plenty of food and they did.

Jay and Chloe - all is well. I went to your house as my first visit this morning, played with Jay, fed them both and scooped Chloe's box. Chloe was super affectionate and Jay was super ball-crazy. Not out of character for either one of them. :) After I left your house, I went to see a client that has a rabbit.... see post below re: Lesson Learned. That wasn't at your house, just wanted to be clear.
Harley and Skittles- I will see them around 10am this morning. Fun, crazy kitten time in my near future!!
