the pet sitter on Thurs 5/9

Millie and Sadie this morning Sadie & Millie - When I'd taken this picture, Millie had eaten, both had been outside and Sadie had taken a few bites.  I think Sadie was guarding her food. :)  Sydney left me a note yesterday.  She'd noticed a red circle on Millie's tummy.  I looked at it last night and it looks like a bug bite to me.  It had a red dot in the middle and a red circle around it.  If I had to guess, I'd say a spider bite.  It was much less red this morning (more pink.)  I will continue to keep an eye on it but I think Millie is fine.  She is acting like her crazy self:  full of energy and hungry! :)  Wish I was with you... particularly on Saturday.  Crazy I know but I've always wanted to do a cooking class in Tuscany.  Some day!!  All of the other days on your itinerary sound fabulous too... The Chianti region tour..... etc.

Jay and Chloe - this morning there was a slug on the chuck-it.  Yuck!!  The first thing that went through my mind was how many times have I used that chuck it and not washed my hands afterwards.  Don't even want to think about it.  I used a paper towel to clean the handle and when I left, I put the it in the laundry room. :)  Jay is doing just fine and has no problem at all with the slugs.  Chloe is doing well too!
