pet sitting on Saturday 5/24

Boo and Sugar -Sugar is still limping this morning.  I think she is okay but I think she needs to rest her leg.  It seems to be bothering her so I didn't walk them this morning.  She went outside to pee and then she laid back down on the couch.  She didn't play at all this morning either.  Last night she did play some - I think her desire to play outweighed whatever pain she was feeling in her leg but she chose not to play this morning.

Jay and Chloe -  Jay is enjoying running around the yard and playing ball.  I so want to get a video of her sliding down the hill on her back but by the time I think about it, she stops.  Chloe is getting some lovin' too and wishing she was outside with us.

Maddie, Cotton and Rocky - I'm not sure if this is Maddie or Cotton b/c I can't see her face.  She was very happy about getting breakfast this morning!

Louie and Roxanne -  Louie and Roxanne might prefer that you buy crackers that they like.  Louie got into the pantry overnight and got into the box of crackers.  If it was a full box, he did eat some but there were some on the floor so I'm not sure they're his favorite.  I'm guessing not Roxanne's favorite either since there were some left. :)  They're fine. :)

Sunny, Louis, Lola -They are all doing just fine.  Louis started whining around 3am so I let him outside.  He had diarrhea on the walk this morning so I gave him 1/2 a pill.  When I fed them this morning, he and Lola ate some.

Merlin, CiCi and Kitty - Merlin's tummy seems to be all cleared up (knock on wood.)  I did cut back on his food yesterday just in case but now it seems to be just fine!  CiCi even chased him around the tree in the yard last night.  They had me laughing.  Kitty is eating well too.  I fed her 2x yesterday and she ate most of it.

Photobucket is the site I use to download pictures to input onto the blog.  I'm not sure what has changed but I can't make these pictures bigger.  Ugh!!

Holly - Holly is enjoying her walks.  She has taken care of all of her business and then she has wanted to roll around in the grass.  Silly dog!!

CiCi and Merlin - Merlin still has an upset tummy.  I am hoping for his sake that it clears up but I may add an extra visit today just so I can check on him.  He seems to be feeling okay.  He and CiCi played a little bit this morning.  CiCi is doing great and so is Kitty.  Kitty ate quite a bit this morning - I'm wondering if she didn't like the flavor of food from yesterday.  It was beef and this morning I think it was chicken.

Sunny, Louis and Lola - they all slept well.  Louis crawled under the covers during the night - perhaps he was looking for Lola b/c that's where she was!!

Snickers - she was a little shy last night on my first visit so I enticed her with a treat... that worked!  She was just fine this morning and did a little sniffing around outside while we were out.

Lucky

I got a call from Lucky's mom.  Lucky has had back leg issues off and on for awhile and they just found out she has bone cancer.  They will say goodbye to her this week.  Tough tough times.  Such a sweet girl and soooo photogenic!  You are loved sweet girl.

Lesson Learned #48

This is pretty random but I spent the last 4 hours while out walking dogs, picking pebbles and leaves out of my socks & shoes.  The lesson learned is: socks (footies) that loose the elastic around the ankle make it very easy for pebbles, leaves, dirt, etc to get into the socks and then rub up against your foot.  It is annoying.  My favorite pair of socks (which is actually not my favorite pair after today) are now in the trash.

our Sam I Am

It was a year ago today that we said goodbye to Sam.  I can't believe that much time has passed already.  He would've loved going for a walk on a day like today.  I can see his tail swinging back and forth and he trots down the sidewalk with his leash in his mouth.  We love you and miss you Sam Sam.
