the dog walker on Monday 8/5

Lincoln - I decided this morning that Lincoln is one of the luckiest dogs ever b/c he has one of the best routes for a dog to walk.  He took me on the "treat" route this morning.  He is doing great.  He left his soloxine pill in his bowl this morning but I saw it so I gave it to him.  I will be sure to check and make sure he doesn't live it in his bowl going forward.

Chester and Bailey - They are doing great and Chester enjoyed his walk this morning but he really struggled to stand up when I got there.  He actually fell over so I helped him up.  It appeared to be his back left leg giving him trouble.  I think he was just stiff... we walked very slowly and it seemed to get better (less stiff.)  I left you a note about adequin (sp?)  It is a monthly injection I give to our lab Buddy.  He's been on it about 6 months now and he is walking much better.  Maybe for the Chester man?

Holly - I went to your house first this morning and it is nice so I left her outside.  I will do my next visit a little earlier than usual, will take her for a walk and then put her inside.

Speedy, the turtles, ducks, chicken and frog:  did I leave anyone out?? :)  They are all just fine.  The ducks really like their food so giving them that first makes it easy to open the door to their pen and get the water tank out. Fozzy, Sunny and Ollie - the 2 young ones were crazy last night.  (They were very happy to see me!!  They were both trying to give me bear hugs! LOL!)  Fozzy was happy to see me too.

Scoobie - Scoobie is enjoying his walks, sniffing around and barking at the occasional jogger.

Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea - Sweet Pea hasn't had diarrhea since that first day until this morning (we were out on the walk.)  For the most part, it was very normal except the end was drippy.  (TMI??)  Lucky and Butter are doing just fine, SP is too other than that little issue.

Chester and Bailey - I believe you had a house guest last night and he was asleep on the sofa in Bailey's room.  She is not very quiet coming out of her crate :)  Her nails make quite a bit of noise on the bottom of the crate.... oh well.  I'm sure he can sleep away the rest of the day (and I am completely jealous!!)  I saw your kids on each of the visits yesterday and all 4 cars were at the house this am.  Chester did have diarrhea this morning.  I cut back a little bit on his food and I left a note for your kids to let them know.

Butter, Lucky and Sweet Pea - I emailed you this morning.  Sweet Pea had diarrhea on the walk this morning.  She didn't seem to have to urgently go but about 10 minutes or so into the walk, she had it and it took her quite awhile to finish going. Scoobie - He was interested in the joggers and walkers we saw when we were out this morning.  He is loving his walks! We played some in the house yesterday too and he zoomed all around.

the dog walker on Saturday 7/27

So sorry for not posting the last 2 days.  I've been busy working and we've had contractors at my house so I've not had much time at my desk for doing things like updating the blog.

Genny and Max - Genny has been eating well the past few days.  She actually ate most of the food in her bowl overnight last night.  She likes to go outside and then she has to come back in and give a few warning barks to remind Max and me to stay away from her bowl. :)  The weather has been great the past 24 hours - not as hot and humid!

Scoobie - he is enjoying his walks.  We've not had many instances at all of running into other dogs being out walked.  He is eating well too.

Ursa - I think she will have a lot of good sniffing to do today.  There were a couple of bunnies in your yard when I pulled up. Bacardi - she seems to be doing a little better.  She walked around outside in the yard a little more this morning.

Genny and Max - the painters had moved Max's bowl yesterday afternoon.  I couldn't find it last night so I used a tupperware bowl to feed him.  I found the bowl this morning - outside on the rail behind the grill.  No wonder I didn't find it last night! :)

Simba - we were walking last night and he was behind me.  I heard a thump and turned around.  He'd run into a light pole.  He was either looking down or possibly his sight isn't so great at night?  Bless his heart.  I felt badly for him (he was fine though.)

Gumbo - she was roaming around the backyard when I got there today.  I think there must've been some squirrels up in the trees that she was stalking.

Scoobie - He has wanted to play the last couple of visits.  He has been zooming around the house!

the dog walker on Tues 7/23

Genny and Max - The past couple of visits have been split between being inside and out.  Genny seems to eat while I'm there so she will eat a few bites and then we go outside.  The workers are coming today.  One of them called me... couldn't get your front door open.  I told him it is tricky! Ursa - It occurred to me about 5am today that I wasn't sure if I'd closed the doggie door.  I didn't.  I hope Ursa didn't keep the neighbors awake and that you didn't any phone calls complaining.  So sorry!  She is doing fine though.  Enjoying her meals and our time together.

Scoobie - as soon as I write is a pooping machine, he didn't poop yesterday at noon.  He still is very regular but he called my bluff on that one!

Bacardi - I left you a vm this morning.  She has had a couple of accidents in the house.  I also closed the door leading back to the bedrooms to contain her accidents.

Simba - I was up really early today (4:30am) - I'm not sure why so Simba got an early visit today (I think it was 5:30ish.)  I'm not sure if he heard me or if he was just barking but he was barking when I came in.  I think he is enjoying having the tv on and listening to all of the coverage re: the royal baby. :)  I'm enjoying getting caught up on it while I'm there. :)
