the dog walker and cat sitter on Monday 7/4

They were playing.... this is my best attempt at an action photo.

Chester & Bailey -  I took this picture yesterday when they were playing.  Here is Shannon's note:  Chester and bailey enjoyed the beautiful Charlotte weather this morning, before it got "oppressive" (as the news likes to say ;-)) Bailey enjoyed a long scratch after breakfast and they both loved our walk!  All is well!

Zack is enjoying his time outside.

Sadie is super photogenic.  She always poses.

Zack and Sadie - Zack and Sadie were up and ready this morning. They both peed and ate their breakfast.  Zack was hungry and ate it all. I watered the plants last night.

Sweetie - Sweetie greeted me at the door. She peed and ate her breakfast.  We went for a walk since it was cooler. She peed again and pooped on our walk.

Lucky, Rocky, Mattie and Cotton - Lucky and Rocky greeted me at the door. They both peed and pooped. I fed everyone their breakfast. The kitties wanted a little attention too! I watered the plants as well.

Jay and I had just started playing.  You can tell because (1) her tongue isnt dirty yet and (2) it isnt hanging out of her mouth!  LOL!

Jay & Chloe -  There is a tennis ball under your car.  Luckily there was another ball in the yard. :)  I didn't want to crawl under your car but I would have for Jay!  They've been fed and the litter box was scooped this morning.

Sparky is smiling

Sparky -  Sparky is happy this morning.  Everyone who was shooting fireworks is still sleeping.   Last night we went out to play after she ate dinner and as soon as we got out, someone set off a firework.  That was the end of our playing.  Poor girl. I had turned the tv on for her last night to hopefully drown out some of the sound.

Sparkles is waiting for me to throw a stick.

Princess Sparkles - She was funny last night running around the yard.  She would be a good long distance jumper or a hurdler.  She had me laughing.  This morning she sat beside me and then ended up on her back so she could get a belly rub.  You were right, she is so good about going in her crate too.  She ate all of her dinner and breakfast and she peed and pooped both visits too.

Cloud & Chloe - They both greeted me at the door.  Times have changed from my first visit when Cloud didn't come out for awhile.  I fed them, scooped the box and gave them their "snack" as I left.

Baby & Callie - Someone (I think Baby) pooped on the towel on your bed.  It is now on top of your washer and I grabbed a beach towel and put it down.  The litter box wasn't too full...I'm not sure why she would've done that.  I made certain I scooped it really well this morning so hopefully that won't  happen again.  I fed them and gave them fresh water.

Sadie - She was sleeping when I drove up but she saw me and her tail immediately started to wag.  Bless her heart, there were firework casings in the street a couple of houses down.  She probably didn't have a very good evening last night.  I always enjoyed July 4th until I started this business.  Now it makes me feel sorry for all the dogs that hate it.

Eli, Peyton & Chaos - I fed Chaos and took Eli and Peyton out.  Chaos joined us and all of them peed.  (E & P twice b/c of course they have to pee where Chaos does.  I know they are girls but they act like boys sometimes!!)  I gave Chaos her shot, refilled the water and food bowls and then I took all of them out again.  Eli and Peyton both pooped.
