Dog and Cat Sitting on Saturday 9/4

Gibby looks really happy after his walk this morning!! Right after I took this picture, Lucy came up to me and laid down on her side so I could rub her belly!

Gibby & Lucy - what a difference a day makes!  When I walked in yesterday for our dinner visit, Gibby was really talking to me (actually mainly just growling.)  He didn't seem very happy to see me but I'd like to think it wasn't me:  the TV was on and Maury was on... there was lots of yelling and screaming (typical Maury I'm guessing!)  If I'd been listening to that, I'd be growling too. :)  (My apologies if you're a Maury fan.)  So I let Lucy out in the yard (Gibby didn't go out.)  I fed them both and then he came around and he let me pet him some after he ate.  On the late night visit, both went out and peed and then Gibby let me pet him some more.  Now this morning, he's decided he likes me.  He came right up to me and I pet him first thing.  THEN he decided he REALLY likes me b/c I grabbed their leashes and we went for a walk first thing.  Both peed more times than I could count and they both pooped too.  When we came back in, I fed them both.  Gibby of course snarfed his food.  Lucy ate well last night but didn't want to eat this morning.  I did get her pill down her using peanut butter.  I gave it to her last night in her dinner.  Gibby has had his pill in both of his meals too.

Maggie was walking towards me and just after I snapped this picture she jumped up and put her front paws in my lap!

Maggie - Maggie and I have had 2 nice visits.  She greeted me at the door last night and raced to the back door so I let her out.  She did have to pee.  She went back to the door like she wanted to go back inside so we did and I fed her.  After she ate her dinner, she pooped.  She seemed more interested in being inside so we spent the rest of the visit inside and I pet her a lot!  This morning we spent a good bit of time outside - it was just beautiful.  We went inside when she decided to bark at a guy jogging by... it was early and I didn't want to wake up your neighbors.  I've given her her pills, both meals.

Trying to catch an action photo of Sparky zooming around the yard!!

Sparky - Sparky was in the backyard when I drove up last night.  As I was walking down the driveway to look for her, she came running around the corner.  Then she was ready to play!  I tossed her toy for her a few times and then we went inside and I fed her dinner.  This morning, she was looking out the window when I drove up.  She looked so cute!  She went zooming around the yard but it was pretty easy to get her in the house so she could eat her breakfast.

I took this picture last night of Allie but she did this again on our walk this morning in one of your neighbors front yards.  Funny girl!

I think Tilly loves to be pet and loved on as much as she loves to be outside!

Allie & Tilly - Allie was sleeping in the hall when I walked up last night.  As soon as I walked in, Tilly came running from the living room.  I let Allie out and fed her.  I fed Tilly too and she ate a little bit but when I went in the backyard with  Allie, Tilly wanted out too.  She spent the night outside.  Allie and I went for a nice walk this morning.  I think she really enjoyed it.  Tilly was waiting for us by my car when we walked up and she came inside and was eating when I left.
