the dog walker on Tues 7/10

Salem, Zoe and Steele - the dogs got a little extra long walk this morning.  We were rounding the corner to head back to your house and a dog came running down its driveway.  I'm sure they had invisible fence but I wasn't 100% certain and I wasn't sure what your dogs were going to do (and being pulled around at 6am wasn't my idea of a great time :) - I hadn't had any coffee yet) so we walked an extra block.  They didn't mind and I didn't either.  You have a great neighborhood for a dog walk!  Salem is doing just fine too.  My last visit to day will be around 2:30-ish if you want to let your mom know.

the dog walker on Tues 7/9

Steele, really enjoying his afternoon nap! apparently Salem was thirsty!

sweet Zoe after one of our walks

Salem, Steele and Zoe - your crew is keeping me entertained!!  When I walked up yesterday afternoon, they didn't hear me and I was laughing at Steele sleeping upside down.  High-larious!!  Zoe was zonked out too on the other bed.  Once I got in, the glass water bowl was empty so while refilling it, Salem jumped up and helped himself to some water.  More laughter from me!  I took the dogs on a short walk yesterday afternoon, again last night when I got there and a longer one this morning.  They are enjoying their walks and I've learned that Zoe is a pooping machine. :)  They are all doing great and we're having fun hanging out.

Last night I finally figured out how to turn the channels on the tv in the kitchen.  It was on ESPN the night before and I love most sports but I'm not a huge baseball fan and that's what has been on.  I wanted to watch ABC but I couldn't find that channel.  I tried figuring out the tv in the den but even with your full page instructions, I couldn't get it to come on.  I am a typical female... challenged when it comes to figuring out remotes.  No worries tho!!

the dog walker on Monday 7/8

Lucky and Sweet Pea enjoying their walk this morning. Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea -  They are going to be so happy to see you.  I think Butter especially!  They are all doing well but miss you!

My attempt at a photo of me walking Zoe and Steele.

Salem was already ready for bed when I went up last night!

Steele, Zoe and Salem - They are all great.  Everyone slept well and the dogs LOVED their walk this morning.  I took them out together and I knew that Steele would be ready to walk but so was Zoe.  I think she pulled more than Steele!  They calmed down once we were headed back towards the house.  Both peed a couple of times, both pooped too.  Zoe twice!  I fed them all too.

the pet sitter on Sunday 7/7

Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea - crazy dogs wanted to eat breakfast before they walked this morning so they did.  We had a nice leisurely stroll after that.  Both peed and pooped.  Butter is eating well too. Sweetie - She peed on our walk this morning and I fed her breakfast before I left.  She'll be really happy to see you!

Maisy and Gracie - they hung out in the yard and on the deck the whole visit.   They'd eaten their dinner from last night but didn't eat their breakfast yet.

Speedy and the turtles - they are all doing well.

Steele, Zoe and Salem - I won't post a note about them until in the morning.  I usually update the blog once / day, usually after I get home from my early am visits.

the pet sitter on Saturday 7/6

taken at night so its dark but Sadie is so cute, I had to post! Henry was really sniffing this chair.  He even licked it but based upon his reaction after doing that, I dont think he liked it!  LOL!

Sadie and Henry -  There were more fireworks last night so I stayed outside with Sadie.  She peed but then was ready to come inside.  Bless her heart, this morning she pooped right away.  She peed too.  I fed her, Henry (he still had some food in his bowl but he'd eaten a lot of it), Goldie and Oreo.  Sadie was with me when I was feeding Oreo.  Oreo probably wasn't very happy about that.

Chester just chillin by the pool.  It was hot outside yesterday afternoon for an old dog so we didnt stay out too long.

Bailey wishing I would just throw the ball, Chester is probably ready to go in the house and the a/c.

Chester & Bailey - They are both just fine.  They both had full bowls of water when I got there this morning.  I took them for a walk and fed them breakfast.  Chester got his pill.

Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea - there were more fireworks last night so they didn't want to walk.  They both peed but then wanted to go back to the house.  This morning they peed and pooped.

Gracie and Maisy - I let them out this morning so Gracie could pee and then they both came in and ate all of their breakfast and then went back outside for the rest of the visit.

Sweetie - I walked her this morning but wasn't quite sure she'd done all of her business so after I checked on all of the other dogs this morning, I ran back by your house and let her out in the yard.

Speedy - I will see him a little later this morning.

the pet sitter on Friday 7/5

Happy to be past July 4th as are all the dogs! Sparky - She gobbled down her breakfast and then she headed outside.  I'm not sure that she peed last night when I went back to let her out so I got there really early this morning.  It was still dark.  She was staring at me as I drove away.  I hope your neighbor stops in to see her today and I know she'll be happy to see you tonight!

Butter, Sweet Pea and Lucky - I gave them their "chill pills" at the dinner visit.  There were fireworks going off already and I swear they lasted until after 11pm.  When I was there after 9pm there were really a lot going off.  They both peed but they didn't want to be outside.

Sweetie - She seemed okay with the fireworks.  Not as many going off around your house as some of the other neighborhoods I was in (or at least while I was at your house.)  I did leave the tv on for Sweetie.

Gracie and Maisy - there were some fireworks going off last night but they didn't seem to mind too much.  They both hung out in the yard for awhile.  I fed them dinner but neither one at though.  This morning all of their food was gone from last night.  I fed them breakfast too.

Sadie and Henry - Henry stayed in last night but he went out this morning.  I went outside with Sadie 2x last night and she did pee and poop and then was ready to come in.  2 houses down from you there was a man setting off a bunch of fireworks.  It looked like he was having a one man celebration of his own.

Speedy, the turtles and the frog - the frog got some breakfast this morning too!
