February 26, 2009

Guiness & Bear: Oh boy! Were we relieved that the sitter waited to walk us when it stopped raining. We sure didn't want to melt, or does that just happen in the movies?

Madison: The sitter told me she wishes her hair was as pretty and shiny as mine! I try and take good care of it, eating right and staying healthy!

Tank: The sitter tired me out today. We walked for what seemed like miles and miles! But it was only blocks and blocks. A good exercise for a tank like me!

Max: I love these sitters! I got to go on a jog adventure and play fetch with Shadow and the sitter today. All I want to do is play, play, play! I wish I had a invisible fence collar like Shadow so I could run around and be silly! The sitter doesn't trust me to not be on a leash! I promise I won't run away and jump in the pond! Really!

Sweet Pea: When the sitter walked in he couldn't see me because I blended in with the shadows. But I came out and said hello. Then helped him find Bubba so he could give him his meds. Bubba made the funniest face!

Shadow: Its been so hot today I was thinking of jumping in the pool but then Max might jump in and cause a lot of waves and that could be scary! Outside is great, but at night if you stand still for too long the gnats will eat you alive. Thankfully as my name suggests I can disappear in the darkness. The sitter couldn't and the gnats had a nice meal. Max laughed at the sitter's futile attempt to not get bit.I think I need my own water bowl because Max gets it all dirty! I have been wanting to go far from the house when I get outside...I pull and I pull! I guess that's why Max and I go out separately.

Solace: I was in a real cranky mood tonight. I made it so hard for the sitter to give me my shot. But he finally did. I gave him one too, but not with a needle.

Juno: The sitter was ever so gentle and scratched my back and head. He made the red dot run around the living room. I kept almost catching it, but never did get it.

Sydney: I tell Sasha to jump on the counter and get in the sitters face because I am too old to be jumping up there. We love our food time, we used to not care but lately its what we look forward to! I got a little taste of the pills and I made crazy noises with my tongue, it was SO nasty! I don't know why the sitter keeps giving me those!!

Cujo: I walked good considering my leg is hurt. I was a little confused about where to potty since its so hard to get my back legs situated..it takes a while for me. Good thing I didn't see the mailman or garbage truck. I might forget I am hurt and jump around and that could be really bad for me!!!

Daisy: Harmon went out with me and decided to stay out, its so nice and warm I would too! The sitter gave him some water but I don't know if he will drink it. I had my bacon and went back inside to my usual area.

Harmon: Yeah! I get to stay outside! Mommy is so nice to me! I would like a door for me to go in and out of, that would make me a very happy kitty and mommy wouldn't have to scoop my litter as much or at all!

Tank: I was stubborn this morning, why do my parent's think I want to walk two times in the morning?! Once is enough for my lazy butt! The neighbor commented about me...I told her to mind her business, I am a bulldog and its my job to be lazy as can be! I pooped in the house, mom and dad knew it would happen so I don't feel guilty.

February 25, 2009

Max: Why hike my leg when I can just pee standing up?! I did get really excited and pee on the floor again, that's just what puppies do! I didn't mean to eat his shirt! I just bite all around and sometimes things get caught! Shadow was yelling at me earlier because I wanted her bone. I just wanted to play! But I yelled back anyway. Hehe! TREAT TIME! The sitter told me I was so cute! I wanted to thank him so I gave him lots of hugs and chewed on his hand for a little bit.

Shadow: Max was nice enough to let me eat some food out of his bowl...I asked him how big he was planning on getting...he won't stop growing! It's scary! I was barking at something out there tonight. Not sure what it was but I'm sure I scared it off with my fiercesom bark! WOOF! WOOF! When we were playing, the sitter had us tugging on each arm with our own toy and I bet we could have torn him in half!

Sydney: We are trying our best to hold it together and enjoy our sitter time. It is really difficult to get all excited about eating when really miss you so much!

Sasha: Are we ever gonna change the channel to some other music? How about some soap operas? That would be wonderful!

Guiness & Bear: We were excited that we got to walk and it wasn't in the rain!! There was a big black cloud over us though!

Madison: I was so glad to see my sitter I have missed. She missed me even more. I wish I got to take more medicine since I get a treat around my meds!!

Josie: The sitter came in and said "nay" and tried to make us sit but we were too excited! WHOO! We haven't seen him in a long time! We went outside like good girls and did our business!

Summer: Josie was lying because I was a good girl and sat for the sitter. She was the one bouncing all around! The sitter gave us a delicious dinner, but he said you prepared it so, THANKS MOM!

Coco: today was a lot better as far as the weather was concerned! The sitter stopped by and we (as per usual) got really excited! We both did our best tornado impressions and made it hard for the sitter to put on our leashes. he tried to explain to us that we're only delaying the thing that we're so excited for. I don't know, i couldn't really hear him cause I was spinning so fast!

Lula: When we got back inside from our walk, the sitter gave us more food and water and he gave the kitties some food, too. hat was our favorite part. Even though we already had some food in our bowls, for some reason when he put more food in there it made us want it right away!

Joey: When the sitter came in, I tried to put on my big boy voice and sound mean but it didn't last very long. I realized that he was a nice guy! He got the other two ready and then hooked me up to my leash. We had a great walk with a lot of adventure on it. Winston was acting crazy for a while with all that puppy energy!

Lucy: The sitter took us on a walk today and we had a lot of fun. There was some other dogs without a leash that we had to avoid, we could smell some kitties, and we even saw a small car accident! What a day!

Winston: I was acting soooooo excited and crazy when the sitter showed up. Until i got let out of my crate I was crying and howling to let the sitter know how excited I was. When we got outside I just wanted to go everywhere and took the sitter with me!

Bella: The sitter came over and i was sitting on the couch looking like royalty! He came in and right away said hello to me and gave me lots of pets and tummy scratches. We went outside and I walked with him down the sidewalk about 2 houses down but that's about all I wanted to do so we went back into the front yard and enjoyed the day. We went back inside before he sitter had to ave and we practiced my commands a little bit.

Raven: The sitter came over and We were both pretty excited. Cooper was acting crazy and jumping up to try and hug the sitter and chew on his hand. I tried to make him stop but the sitter said he didn't mind. It only means that Cooper loves him!

Cooper: Yeah, Raven. That's all it means! We went on a great run today and enjoyed the weather and outdoors. On our way back a big truck drove by and Raven got a little upset but the sitter calmed him down. We came back inside for a big gulp of water and some yummy apples and yogurt!

February 24, 2009

Pearl: I tried to eat kitty food...its more fun to eat food that isn't for me! I don't understand why kitty won't play with me...but I won't give up trying! I was scared as usual of everything outside! I don't know when I will get over that!

Sydney: Our favorite part of the day! Food time! If only I could learn to walk on my back legs all the time...it would make getting my treat a lot easier and probably sell this house too...hehe.

Sasha: I am really pushy about the wet food! I have my face in the can and the bowl...hurry up with the food! Its SO yummy!

Tofoudi: I guess these people are my new family since my parent's are not ever gonna come back! They have forced me to be nice to the intruders...I have to get my attention some how!

Coco: The sitter came over today and we went outside right away because we were both so excited to get out there. When we stepped outside, we were both startled by this super cold temperature outside. Where the heck did that come from, huh?

Lula: Yeah, it was freeeeezing out there (well, super cold compared to what it's been recently). When we came back inside, the sitter gave us some food and water and then played with us a bunch to get out some of our wiggles. Then, before he left, he took care of our box as well as the kitties'.

Bella: When the sitter showed up, I was laying on my blankets shewing away on a rawhide. He came over and said hello then took me outside. I started to walk around the cul de sac right outside and was doing pretty good but the neighbor with the motorcycle was working on it and turned it on to make lots of noise. That made me uneasy so the sitter just sat with me in the front yard and pet me a whole bunch.

Raven: When the sitter showed up, we were so excited to see him. Cooper kept chewing on his hand and got it all slobbery. He got our leashes and hooked us up right away so we could go out for our run. Cooper was still really excited and kept biting the leash. Sometimes that dog is just too silly.

Cooper: I really don't know what Raven is talking about. I just get excited and I'm expressing myself! Nothing wrong with that! We had a good run today but there were a lot of cars that drove by. that usually doesn't happen. We went back inside for our snack and were totally satisfied!

Annabelle: I have a little crush on the sitter! I kept giving him lots and lots of kisses! We played a lot in the back yard and then I grabbed a seat on the sitter's lap for cuddles!

Sushi: I am a loud barker! I got lots of cuddles from the sitter too but mostly ran around the yard. When the sitter was about to leave, dad came home and we got more outside time!

Shadow: I mostly wanted to play with my toy bones and what not. I wasn't really looking for any cuddles. We went outside a lot so I could do my business since Max had already peed all over the sitter's foot! I don't know why mom had to get a puppy...I think I'm good enough for one house! He pees a lot and he eats my food! I was lucky he left some for me! Not to mention he washes his feet in the water bowl! yuck!

Max: The sitter says I have a puppy belly....a very big one!!! I have a feeling I'm gonna be 200 pounds one day. I peed all on the floor because I was so excited to see someone new! I wanted to jump on her and be silly!Oooops! I can't control myself yet! I'm still a cute little pup! I did do soooome business outside but mostly I played. I need plaaaay tiiiime!

February 23, 2009

Barkley: Once this person leaves then it will be time to eat and mess up the potty she cleaned all over again! This new and bigger house means more room to hide!

Sydney: We ran right into the kitchen because we knew what time it was! Medicine and food time! Lucky for Sasha she doesn't have to have any pills like I do.

Sasha: We aren't sure whats going on with the house but we will be on our best behavior if any strangers come over to walk around...no furballs or anything in front of guests! hehe

Guiness & Bear: We acted like drunk dogs today - constantly walking into one another and getting our leashes all tangled up!

Tank: Yeah, I was a little tired but the sitter I may have had a big tiring weekend, but I am so full of energy the sitter and I went out and played a ton. I still had enough energy to jump around and chase the sitter! Even after we walked and walked! When we got back I wanted to go again, but the sitter gave me my breakfast and I was all over that! He gave me a treat too and some fresh water!...Now its more nap time!

Wilson: I fell asleep right away after the sitter picked me up from the spa. We got home and went for a walk so I could check all my messages and leave a little of my own then we came in for a little play time and a treat! WHOO

Cooper: I was so ready for the run when the sitter arrived. I ran super fast, and the sitter and Raven had to keep up. Maybe I should be the one with the leashes!

Raven: I had my doggier hoodie on today since it was chilly. I ended up not needing it by the end of the run though. Got all nice and warmed up.

Sushi: Today I found a magic stick. It was the greatest stick I have ever seen. It flew very far and tasted very good.

Annabelle: Why is it so cold? I am going to turn into a tiny pup-sicle. Well a little walking and exploring will warm me right up.

February 22, 2009

Barkley: Looks like whoever keeps sending these "sitters," hasn't gotten the message. Never give up! Never stop hiding! It doesn't matter how many they send to spy on us, or how many treats or toys they offer, or wet food... hmm... maybe we will rethink this.

Sasha: I tried to get one of Sidney's pills today. They look so delicious, but the sitter made sure I didn't get one. Wet food was a good alternative!

Sidney: Sahsa and I had a surprise today! Extra visitors! Besides the sitter some people came to look at the house. We know they really came to look at us because we are so pretty.

Annabelle: Sushi played keep the frog away from Annabelle. But I won! I chased him as fast as my little legs woulds go and when I caught up to him, I pinned him and got the frog! Victorious!

Tofudi: I am just a fuzzy white ball of love. And as they say, "all you need is love," and I have plenty. I just also need clean litter and fresh water and food. After the loving though of course.

Sushi: The sitter and Annabelle ganged up on me today! They got me on the ground and the sitter came up and rubber my belly. Then Annabelle chased me and pinned me and stole my favorite fox! What is going on?

Duncan: Good Morning: Rise and shine I our sitter woke us up today

Charlotte: We went on a long walk with our sitter just hours before our parents got home!

February 21, 2009

Calico: When I woke up this morning, the sitter was sitting right next to me. I hissed and ran under the couch. Then I realized he was trying to wake up for breakfast!

Cody: I greeted the sitter and thanked him for the dinner last night. But I'm too cool for him, so I went off to do something cooool.

Calin: Mmm! The sitter made an exquisite breakfast. My comrades may have run off on the sitter, but I shall accompany him in his work. That way I get first dibs on meals.

Sasha: I was so happy to see the sitter this morning. Good food and terrific scratches start the day off right. And let us not forget about playtime!

Sidney: I snuggled with the sitter ever so gently after my meds. Not for long though, Sasha decided it was time to play, so we played catch the dangling mouse for a bit.

Sushi: A sitter came today and he and I played fetch. I tried to teach Annabelle the basics but she didn't quite get it yet though.

Annabelle: I had a pleasant day. A sitter dropped by to check on us and play. I wasn't in the play mood even though Sushi insisted.

Duncan: Good Morning! We had breakfast and then went out to play. I love food! This evening, it was dinner time! We walked and used up our energy before we were tucked in our beds

Charlotte: We are lazy on this sat afternoon and our sitter woke us up and is full of energy to play with us!

Fluffers - I love playing and having company that I haven't seen in awhile! She even fed me and cleaned my litter

February 20, 2009

Guiness & Bear: We went on a walk with the sitter, it was very windy!! There was a lot of new smells traveling so we tried to smell the wind. We had a great walk and enjoyed sniffing every mail box.

Tank: What a wonderful morning walk. Well, almost perfect. I tried to hide my poo under a bush, but the sitter found it and took it. What kind of world is this? Oh Well, breakfast when I got back, so I can make more. A little chill, a lot of sun, and a breeze that is just right mix together for a very enjoyable walk. The sitter and I saw some strange sculptures on our walk. He tried to figure out what they are for. I already knew the answer, but the sitter wouldn't let me get close enough to act.

Zeus: I don't understand why all of my friends hide when the sitter comes by. Not only is he a really nice guy, plus he gives the best head scratches, but he also makes sure we have everything we need. More scratches for me I guess.

Sidney: Bleh! Medicine! At least I have some wet food to get the taste of those pills out of my mouth. Disgusting, however I feel healthy as a cat can!

Sasha: I watched closely as the sitter cleaned the litter and fed us. If only I could stand and had opposable thumbs, I would help out.

Raven: Today on our run I got a burr stuck in my foot. It hurt! But the sitter got it out, and everything was fine. The sitter made my foot feel all better.

Cooper: I love my new haircut, but I miss my fur coat. It's chilly outside! Raven and I ran well today though, and by the time we were home, the cold was a forgotten detail.

Calin: I watched the sitter make Cody's and my dinner from up on the cabinets. It was done just the way I like it. Then I got a chance to hang out with Calico for a little.

Calico: The sitter came in and surprised me. Once I saw my dinner in his hand I came out of hiding and said hello.

Duncan: Boy, we were surprised to see our sitter visit us today.

Charlotte: We went on a nice long walk after we ate our dinner. We were intrigued by a squirrel.

February 19, 2009

Snowflake: It was a great day for a walk! There was so much out there to smell! Patches must be jealous that I get to go for walks down the street and he has to stay in his yard! My brother was wanting to go for a walk to but he had to stay in the house! I am so special!

Pearl: I got some work to do with being scared all the time but I think I will be okay with all the craziness outside soon! Kitty was wanting attention from the sitter but its MY sitter! I tried playing with kitty and they didn't like it and hissed at me...sitter had me go in the room because I didn't get the hint from the kitty.

Zeus: Sitter took pictures of me...I know I am a pretty kitty! She didn't bring anymore catnip in...its a lot of fun when she does bring it in! Makes me extra friendly! hehe!

February 18, 2009

Coco - When the siter got here, I started to run around with excitement. Even better yet, when he was getting ready to hook on our leashes, I went into complete nutso mode! I started to spin around really fast and the sitter was having a hard time getting me attached to my leash!
Lula - During our walk, there were a couple of big dogs tethered in one of the neighbor yards. (Since they were leashed) It was easy for us to act really tough. We don't care if they're 5 times our size! Haha, Fearless! When we got back, the sitter checked our food and water levels and cleaned out our boxes. He said we really only seem to go in the upstairs one now, for the most part

Daisy - I was much more in the mood to go for a walk today than I was yesterday. Which is funny because the weather was much nicer yesterday! Anyways, we took a walk around the block and i got my business done and everything. As usual, when he sitter unhooked me from my leash, I ran upstairs to lay on the bed. Harmon - The sitter came over and played with me for a itle bit after he took Daisy out on a walk. he tried to let m outside but I wasn't going to go today. My kitty senses told me to stay away from outdoors today, it might rain!

Frank - Oh man! The sitter came and he's going to play with us! He said that he forgot how much fun it was to play with the two of us. He kept throwing my toy for me and I would catch it nearly every time! Even when he tried to fake me out, nope! I'm too quick and cunning. Catching is by business and I've got to say, business is good!
Maggie - The sitter would run around with me in between throwing the toy fro frank. I kept trying to gve him hugs but he would dogde me just in time. It's ok. I kept trying, i was bound to get him one of these times. I also would try to use Frank's leg as a chew toy. Funny enough is that he really didn't seem to mind it at all.

Bella - The sitter stopped by usual time today and right off the bat gave me a treat! What did I even do? that was awesome. All he made me do was sit which is pretty much baby stuff anyways. I mean if you can't sit then you need some lessons. After that we spent some time out in the front yard because i wasn't really feeling brave enough to go for a walk. We went back inside and practiced some of my commands. I'm really good at all of them!

Pearl: I need to work on not so being scared! Everything is just so strange outside! The cars going by and the people on bicycles! I just don't know what to think of it!

Snowflake: I tried pupcorn again and I left it on the floor. I am too old to be changing my snacks! I like what I like and that will never change!

Sydney: The sitter likes my big blue eyes...I like them too! They are so pretty! I jumped underneath the laundry sink to eat wet food after my pills.

Sasha: Treat time already?! yay! Our toilet will be clean and then we get to mess it up all over again!

Cairo: I flopped around a lot for some attention! Then I ran into the kitchen to eat some food! The food bowl was empty...how did that happen?! The litter box was cleaned so it can be messed up all over again! Thats always the fun part!

Zeus: As always I was the only one out for some cuddles, but today I only wanted a little bit before I too ran off and hid. Sometimes I just like to hide!

The hidin' kitties - We came out a bit later to find our food replenished, our water filled to the brim, and our litter boxes cleeeeaned up so nice! WHOO

February 17, 2009

Tank: Sometimes I like to walk sometimes I don't. I gobbled down my food with the ball in the bowl...is that suppose to slow me down?! haha! I had my kong toy with blueberries treats in it...its yummy! The sitter and I did a lot of running around outside today. I like it out there now especially when there's a lot of sticks to chew on! We came back in for fresh water and TREEATS!

Guinness & Bear: We were very good and were so excited, but contained it enough so we didn't jump all over our walker today!

Snowflake: I do not like pupcorn! What was my human thinking?! We stayed in the sun because its so cold in the shade! No fun getting cold dirt up the nose...yuck!

Pearl: I was friendly to my new friend. Once I got out I peed quickly...I walked behind her because there was a lot going on, on the street. This man scared me to death and I ran as fast as I could to get away from him! Well what happened was this dog, I think a beagle, was in the middle of the busy street by the house just walking along...we watched him/her for a minute then this man starts yelling and running towards us and the sitter figured out he was looking for that dog but I didn't care because he was just freaking me out so I ran in the other direction.

Zeus: I stayed in my chair the whole time while the sitter changed the water, added food, and cleaned our litter box. She brought more catnip...it always dissapears off the counter.

Bailey: The sitter made me heel a lot while I was pulling her arm off...eventually I calmed down and wasn't as wild anymore. I played with my ball later on and had a treat to go in my crate.

Lexus: I did pull but I got better after a while. Everytime I peed I wanted my treat right away! I didn't try to eat anything this time!

Tofoudi: What are you doing back? I have one day of silence and then you come back! Oh well...you can pet me since your here. Now please flush my toilet...I love toilet water!

Sydney: Someone came by and turned off one of the lights that was on...I have a feeling we will be getting more visitors soon.

Sasha: The music is great but now I have to escape upstairs to get away from it! Sydney and I didn't hesitate to start eating right away...we sure have appetites nowaways.

February 16, 2009

Sasha: I love pill time! Thats when I get to have my treat! As the wet food was being fixed I jumped on the counter because I just couldn't wait!

Sydney: I took my pills really well, Sasha better not brag too much because when she gets older she may have to have pills too!

Charlie: Hurray for breakfast time! I have been working up a huge appetite. When the sitter gave Bodhi his food first, I tried to get some. I only got a few pieces before Bodie ate all of it. But then I found the bowl the sitter gave me to eat all to myself!I like to whine a little bit, just to let the sitter know how excited I am every time I;m excited about something! He loves it! We like to play outside a lot, the sitter and me, but I also like to chase the dog next door!

Bodie: Playtime with Charlie and the sitter was so much fun! I had to be careful because of my nail, but that didn't stop the fun from flowing. Charlie can run so fast, I could barely see more than a blur. I was licking at my wound but it wasn't bleeding or anything. I was just cleeeaning it! I got my pills for the morning and at dinner aaaand loads of cuddles! Whoo Whoo!!

Lacey: It took some convincing, but I finally went outside at the sitters request. I get to go out alone, seperate from Precious and Angel. I must be super-special or something.

Precious: Mmm! Breakfast. I don't think the day would ever start if breakfast hadn't been invented. So delicious!

Angel: I love playing with the sitter. He rubbed and pet me all over. Then I got to run outside with Precious and play!

Raven: We were such good doggies today! Cooper and I ran side by side with the sitter and neither of us stopped or tried to go after any small animals. The sitter was so impressed.

Cooper: I ran right next to the sitter today to show him how much of an awesome runner I am. The sitter said if dog jogging was a sport, he would want me on his team.

Zeus: Tell me how pretty I am! I love to talk about me! Sitter was nice enough to bring in some catnip from the hallway...it smells so great!!

Chance: Sitter says I am a great dog to walk because I don't go after other animals, I don't bark and I know how to cross the street when we have to turn around. But I do take forever to potty though! hehe

Tofoudi: Hi! I guess I can be nice to you...its getting kinda lonely around here. Thanks for changing my toilet and everything else.

February 15, 2009

Tucci - Haha, I knew he'd be back. I mean, he is my property after all. he took me out for a walk but it was all sprinkely and I didn't want to get too wet. we stayed outside long enough to get my business done then we rushed back inside for treats and breakfast and water and just baout everything else!

Captain - Hey, the sitter wasn't kidding when he said he'd see us again real soon. When he got here, the first thing he did was give us fresh water and some food but we were too excited to eat just yet. he hooked us up to our leashes and took us outside. Uh Oh! it's raining. Better make this quick!

Paquita - The sitter is such a baby. He's using an umbrella. You don't see me or captain wimping out with one of those. I mean, we lack the appendages to properly hold one but, whatever. When we came back inside we rolled around on the carpet to dry off then the sitter gave us a treat for getting back in our crates. Now that we'd been relieved, we both started chowing down on breakfast.

Spot - I could see the sitter from where i was and thought to myself, why isn't he out here feeding me?! Oh, wait, here he comes! I got excited to see him but, you know, I'm not going to let him touch me or anything. I've got a reputation to maintain. He gave me some food and water and tried to pet me a little when i was distracted. Dirty tricks.

Grey Kitty - I was loving all over the sitter when he was here. he pet me a whole bunch and gave me food and water and return loving. it was awesome to have him here. i followed him around everywhere and even tried to get where Spot was but the sitter wouldn't let me out there. I don't see what the big deal is.

Smooches - today, I was out from the beginning. Me and stinky were hanging out near our litter boxes. We knew the sitter was due for a visit so we were waiting by out food bowls for him to show up. he did and gave us some food which was magnificent. He then started to pet us while we ate which was even more magnificent!

Stinky - Me and Smooches were hanging ut because we decided that the two of us were going to be Valentines today. Yeah, you heard me: Valentines. The sitter poured us some food and then started to pet us while we ate. I don't know why he didn't just wait until we were done, it was awfully distracting.

Beemer - Hey! The sitter came to play with us. We remember him, too! He took us out in the back yard and spent most of the time chasing me around. I'd run in circles and bark at him and he's chase me and bark back at me. I didn't want to hurt his feelings but he's not very fluent (but i think that he thinks he is). I couldn't understand a single word he was trying to say.

Bodhi - Hey, the sitter stopped by to play! he took us outside and chased us around. he made sure not to play too hard with me cause of my injury but it was still lots of fun. After we were all done, he brought us inside for some pets and treats! Awesome. It even stopped raining long enough for us to be out there without getting wet!

Josie - Hey! it's our favorite sitter! we tried to jump up and give him hugs with excitement but he kept trying to make us behave with the new things we've learned. We're pretty good at them, too! He took us out for a walk but only a short one because it was raining a bit and we didn't want to get too wet. We came back inside for playtime and a treat!

Summer - The sitter said we looked so cute in our nice, matching V-day scarves! We got to go for a short walk but only because it was raining. We did really well on the walk and pulled alot less than we used to! We were very well behaved. The sitter said that it called for a treat (yeah, right, he was going to give us one anyways!)

BB: I love morning walks through the marsh with the sitter. It's so peaceful and quiet. I like to go off the path every so often, and take the road less traveled.

Joe: The sitter had many eyes watching him while he worked today. I saw my friends all under various furniture spying on the sitter. We had almost complete surveillance. If only Zeus culd resist head scratches.

Zeus: Wonderful head scratches! The sitter has won me over. I have defected!

Chance: It took me a bit, but I finally found the perfect spot to do business. It's beautiful, and I can smell the flowers while I work! What an excellent find.

Kitty: I came out to play with Bruschi and Beemer and the sitter today. I tried to talk to the sitter but I don't think he could understand me. Beemer tried to force me into a game of tag, and I refused. I'd rather go eat.

February 14, 2009

BB: How disappointing. It's all rain and gross outside. How can an old gal like me possibly put up with these conditions. Well, an old gal like me needs a walk every so often.

Bruschi: It is wet and gloomy outside. Time to dig for moles and play in the mud! I almost got one, I swear. It was a huge one, but it got away.

Zeus: Who has entered the domain of Zeus, DK and Fluff! Oh it's just the sitter. Well that's fine. Where are DK and Fluff? I guess I'm not as intimidating without my comrades.

Chance: When the sitter arrived I looked like I had gone swimming. I was actually practicing my own rendition of "Barking in the Rain." But the sitter came so I took a break and went on a walk.

Tofudi: The sitter didn't see me when he first came in, so I introduced myself after he checked my utilities. We had quite a conversation before he distracted me by rubbing my head. Now I'll never prove my point!

Ethel: Who is this stranger in my house? Why is he cleaning my litter? Why is he checking my food and water. I am going to have to go find Oreo to figure this out.

Beemer: Bruschi might be big and tough, but I showed him how much of a wrestler I am when I pinned him on the ground. Of course he just called all over flailing and throwing dirt. What a baby!

Bella: The sitter and i went outside today to have a walk but I'm still pretty nervous about it all. I didn't feel much like going anywhere so the sitter just sat down on the driveway and spent some time with me out there. It was realy nice to just sit and take it all in from a safe place. The weather was really nice, too so we were able to stay out there for as long as we wanted. The only reason we went back inside is so the sitter could give me my Kong!

Captain - The sitter stopped by to take us for a walk and boy were we excited! He opened up our crates and we started running around and wagging our tails and all that! He took us outside for a walk and then back inside for some fresh water and a treat for each of us!

Paquita - During our walk, we kept hearing other dogs barking but couldn't see where they were. Also, we kept getting our leashes twisted because we were so excited about everything. The sitter brought us back in, gave us a treat and said he'd see us again real soon.

Tucci - The sitter came by today and i tried to act like a real big dog by making big dog noises well, at least it was my best attempt at it. After I calmed down a bit, the sitter took me out for a walk to do my business then back inside for some play and a treat. Oh yeah, I totally peed on the sitter, too. Tagged him! Now he's mine.

Lacey: I had to warm up to the sitter tonight! I barked for a while, but eventually I was sitting out back relaxing and being pet by the sitter! But then I had to go back in so those crazy girls could go oout!
Angel: We need attention! Pet us both at the same time! Wait a second while we run around the yard! Now pet us again!
Precious: I can't decide if I want in our out! I think I just want backscratches!

Bodhi: We've been waiting for you Mr. Sitter! It's dinner time! And don't forget to give me my medicine wrapped in delicious canned food! yum!

Charlie: I've got so much energy! Let's go for a walk after I run laps around the backyard! Now you have to convince me to come back inside and eat!

February 13, 2009

Sam: I saw a bunch of fries on the sidewalk...I thought it would be a great snack but the sitter said, NO! No fair! I am sure they would of been okay...they are just potatoes! She is no fun!

Lily: Sam and the sitter snuck up on me while I was waiting on my turn. They left out the front and came back in through the back. I saw what Sam saw, someone left fries on the sidewalk but Sam said they were not there when the sitter first got to the house...did they do that just for us?!

Bruschi: I was so excited to get out of my crate! I jumped all around and ran outside and ran and ran and ran! I gobbled up my food so Beemer wouldn't eat it while I was locked up in mom and dad's room.

Beemer: I barked at the sitter but not bad like I used to. I am just telling these people that my brother needs to go potty to but they think I am being mean! I didn't pee on the bed with excitement like I sometimes do.

Kitty: I showed the sitter several times where my food was to go and I told her to hurry up that I am hungry and I am not paying her to take her time!

Zeus: We need to learn how to brush our hair...its everywhere...I hung around the sitter while she did whatever it is that she does. The rain is coming soon and the view is so nice it will be scarey and fun at the same time.

Cujo: I was so much better about walking, mom said I had medicine and I am walking longer...but I still wanted to go home! I guess because daddy is home and he may want to leave the house again! I saw a garbage truck and I just stared at it while the sitter was ready for me to act stupid.

Tucci: I was slightly frightened when the sitter first walked in. But I proved to him that I am no pip-squeak. I growled at everything telling it to keep away or else... I will bark and shake my tail at them.

Smooches & Sanchez: Only two of us felt like coming out today. Stinky decided to be really lazy and sleep in. I watched the sitter clean our litter boxes, he told me there wasn't much.Sanchez begged for scratches from the sitter, then disappeared. He has some cat stuff to do.

Cooper: It was so hard to keep my head in the run today. Every object on the side of the road called my nose taunting me with their hidden scents.

Raven: I had no problems on the run today. Cooper had his mind running all over the place while I just trotted along enjoying the warm sun and refreshing breeze.

Guiness and bear have enjoyed the last walk for the week and the sitter is glad its the weekend as well.

Lucy enjoyed her breakfast and morning playtime. She would rather play than eat dinner, guess dinner will be consumed after the sitter leaves tonight!

February 12, 2009

Zeus - All of the other kitties stayed hidden today except for me. I sat right on my throne next to the door and watched the sitter do his stuff. He topped off all of our bowls and made sure there was plenty of water for us thirsty cats. The sitter spent the rest of his time giving me the royal treatment and, since none of the other cats wanted to say hello, there was an abundance of attention all to myself.

Pearl - The sitter and I had such an awesome time today on our walk! We walked to the park and as soon as we were about a block away, i knew exactly where we were going! I started to run the rest of the way there and frolic in the grass. there were so many people there because it's such a nice day today. The sitter and I sat on the grass for a while and just enjoyed the day. I'm excited for the next time!

Raven - So, today felt kind of like a lazy day. Not just for me but for Cooper too. During our walk, the both of us kept trying to stop and smell just about everything...even AFTER we both pooped so the sitter knew we were just trying to kill time. He kept making us do all the exercise, though. UGH!
Cooper - Yeah, I'm with raven. Today just feels like one of those days, you know? I'd rather just stay inside and chew on one of my toys. but, at the same time, i do have to go to the bathroom...Hmm. Quite the dilema I'd say. Hold it in and be lazy? Or suck it up and relieve myself?

Tucci - as soon as the sitter stepped in, i tried to put on my biggest voice to let him know that this is my house! It didn't really work that well because he came in anyways but I'm glad he did. He played with me and then took me for a nice evening walk and then when we came back inside, he even gave me a treat! I'm not sure who this guy is but I like it when he comes over. When will he be here next?

Annabelle: Let me out of this cage!!!! The sitter said I was so cute! All I wanted to do was be held. I chewed on her shoes a lot on the "walk". I am not sure about the sitters feet moving so much and I think they are wanting to play with me!

Sam: I was panting this morning quickly since its so warm! I thought about eating my sisters food but the sitter points for me to back up and I do...dernit! I like to jump on the plants that people don't want animals on. I do not understand why I can't walk on the dead plants but its okay to walk on the nice green plant areas.

Lily: I like to lick the sitters pants when im really excited! We had a hard time with the back fence all of a sudden, it doesn't like us sometimes. I think Sam sees more when he is out then when I am...or maybe he is making all his stories up?!

Harmon: I was at the front door waiting to go in! Its getting warm out there and I thought if I hung around the front door someone would show up. I wouldn't leave the sitter alone the whole time. I wouldn't let her write but I backed away when she got my treats out for me!

Daisy: I don't mind Harmon getting lots of attention, I like it for a few minutes then I need my alone time!

Snowflake: I walked and I walked then all of a sudden I decided to turn around. Sitter always lets me decide what I want to do because im old and im special. Its good to be ME! I bossed her around inside because I love my treats and she tries to trick me and just give me pieces but I know to keep barking so I get the whole cookie!

Guiness and Bear enjoyed walking and sniffing the sitters feet. Do they smell???

Lucy loved the attention and playing in her newly fenced in yard, but whined when the sitter left her - her sitter didn't want to leave either!

Beemer didn't remember the sitter at first but then Bruschi reminded her and she jumped all around in excitement! Bruschi and Beemer like to run around and chase each other a lot! And Beemer like cuddles! Bruschi thought his dinner tonight was exquisite. Thanks you very much Mr. Sitter Man. The sitter let them out tonight and Bruschi ran into the corner and when the sitter called Bruschi wanted to play a trick so he didn't come. The sitter finally overcame his fear to try to go and find him and he was just laying in the sand. The sitter was afraid of the dark!

Annabelle G. - We went on a nice walk this morning when the sitter came over. It was a good time for walking because there was nobody out to distract us! I led the way the whole time and made the sitter go where I wanted to. When we got back inside, the sitter gave me a treat and played with me and some of my toys!
Stinky - When the sitter arrived, i was waiting for him in the kitchen. I said hello and he said it back by scratching my back and head. He gave us some food and cleaned out our boxes. He also gave us fresh water, which is always appreciated. It's a shame none of the other cats came to catch all of this fun.
Sanchez - Ok, that's not true. I showed up and said hello to the sitter! (alright, so it was only after he poured the food but at least I showed up!)

February 11, 2009

Tank: I used to be so good now I am extremely stubborn! What happened?! I went to the front yard and then to the back because a walk wasn't happening. I strutted around and pottied. Then I decided to be lazy and lay on the cement. I went back inside to eat my food...I try to eat as fast as possible! I showed the sitter today that I can jump as high as his face! He had a stick that I was determined to get and I succeeded. I chomped on it while I layed out in the backyard in the sun! WHOO! I came in for a good treat and some more cuddles!

Sam: I gave the sitter a great back kiss in the ear. It wasn't a mistake either, I aimed and delivered the blow directly in his ear. I'm AWESOME! The walk was pretty fun too! I saw a bunch of little dogs this morning, they kept barking at me and I barked at them. The sitter wouldnt let me say hello too much because you never know about those little dogs! hehe

Lily:Well, obviously the dinner was great, that's a given. The walk was pretty good too and so were the cuddles. I don't think ask for anything more, I'm a simple girl! Sam tried to eat my food again! That's not nice! I didn't see any dogs but I tried to jump on a few people that got too close to me!

Annabelle the Boston: I liked the sitter right away! I kept trying to egg him on though, gettin' real low ready to pounce... but I never did. We went to the park so I could do my business which was good but there wasn't too much going on. We came back for lots of fresh water and a treat! The sitter said that I looked much bigger than when he saw me last. He knows it's not true because I'm already full grown but he said his perspective may have been altered by the tiny chihuahuas he saw earlier that day. Whatever. When we got back inside the sitter gave me my food for the day and played a little more before saying goodbye.

Annabelle the Westie: I let out a couple of tiny barks so he knew right where my crate was. I got so excited to see him that I gave myself the hiccups Oooops! I accidently peed in the kennel! The sitter took out my pillow and kitty and gave me the girraffe. Then he gave me a little paw bath to clean me off and gave me cuddles after. I'm still yooooung! I ate dinner then went out for a walk where I really just wanted to eat the sitters legs! I tried tripping him a bunch of time and I almost succeeded. One of these days, I'm totally going to trip somebody!

Lula: The sitter came over just in time! We were so excited to get outside that when he tried to hook our leashes on, we both just went crazy and spin around like a tornado! He calmed us down enough to get our leashes on and then we finally go to go outside!

Coco: When we came back inside, the sitter refilled our food and water as well as the kitties'. He cleaned out our boxes and there was another mess upstairs again but the sitter took care of it. He cot the cats' boxes too then came back downstairs to play with us!

Chicken: The sitter came over and we started putting on our big dog voices right away but it wasn't really working. You know, because we're so tiny! He sat on the couch and let us run all over him. That's how you know when someone really likes doggies, when they let you run up and down them and give crazy amounts of kisses to them without them caring!

Elephant: Chicken was hogging the sitter! trying to get all the attention from him and not letting us have any. the sitter knew what Chicken was trying to do and didn't let it happen but still, it wasn't nice. Oh well, the sitter got up to give us more food and change our pad in the bathroom anyways.

Sams: When the sitter was on the couch and Chicken and Elephant were running all over him, I was sitting on the floor being patient. But then the sitter invited me up and I decided to let loose! I was acting (almost) as crazy as the other two!

Fluff & DK: When the sitter opened the door we were all hanging out in the living room. As soon as we heard that door crack open, we scattered! I'm not sure if he saw us or not but we both went to hide in our totally hidden hiding spaces behind the table and in front of the couch! there's no way he could see us there.

Zeus: While those other two ran away, I just jumped up onto one of the chairs under the table and kept close tabs on that sitter. Made sure he was giving us food and cleaning out those boxes. Wait, what's he doing? Why is he coming over here to pet me? I'm supposed to be intimidating with my watchful eyes!

Raven: The sitter arrived and we were both pretty happy to see him. Even I was jumping up to say hello and give hugs which i normally don't do. On our walk today, for some reason, I kept trying to sniff everything. The sitter wouldn't let me stop too much because he said we need to feel that burn...whatever that means!

Cooper: I jumped up to give the sitter hugs and nibbled on his hand like I always do when he arrived. he took us on a great walk. It was great because the weather is getting nice and warm now without being too hot. When we got back inside, it was time for some water and a refreshing snack. Oh, he gave us a treat too!

Guiness & Bear: We were glad to see the sitter for our evening walk. She came a little later then she usually has been so we thought maybe she wasn't coming. When she walked through the door we were extra excited to see she didn't forget about us! We really enjoyed our walk today, its been so nice.

Mattie: I didn't want to go to the groomer but I was forced to anyway! I slept in the car on our way there, I fit perfectly in the floor board.

Daisy: I was too excited as usual! I ate some bacon outside while I laid in the sun. Some strange cat went into our yard and I chased it away! I used up all my energy because once I got inside I ran upstairs to take a nap!

Bailey: I pulled on the leash really hard! Heel? Whats that mean?! I wanted to get near the woods and I tried eating something but wasn't allowed to go near it. Inside I played with my ball...I can play for hours! Its so much fun!

Lexus: I got to go out to potty first. I kept looking up after I peed because I expect a treat not just a "good girl". I am starting to take after Bailey and pull on the leash...watch out!

Snowflake: I sniffed and I sniffed! I ran into some sticks a few times because I wasn't looking to see where I was going. I came inside to bark at the sitter constantly to give me a treat. She breaks it up and I keep barking and barking for the next one!

February 10, 2009

Sam: I wanted to smell everything but I wasn't allowed to! I have to keep walking and walking! Ugh! The piano man was here tonight so we were stuck outside... FUN! I went on my walk first and it was pretty boring except for the walking part!

Lily: Dinner was a treat as always and when I cam back from my walk to get a treat, Sam almost missed out because he was no where to be found. Then he came up the stairs just in time!

Rufus: The street was so busy this morning but it didn't stop us from crossing the street. I tried to eat mud, its chocolate for dogs! I was awake and waiting at the door when the sitter came in. I was excited! Give me a break! We came in and had some dinner and cheese. The sitter popped a pill in there somewhere. Then we were headed outside. WHOOOO!

Sams: I got to leave the vet office! They were nice to me and didn't send me home with medicine which is SO nice of them to do!

Elephant: I chewed my chewy a lot, it keeps my mouth occupied since I like to "talk" so much!

Chicken: I jumped on the sitters shoulder so she could carry me around! She loves my wrinkles!

Zeus: hmmm catnip! Mom grows a lot of that! Its makes me a little weirder than I already am! More food and water was put out which is always great!

Wolf: The girls always gang up on me. I'm sick of it. But the sitter gives me all the cuddles in the world which makes up for it!

Biscuit: Who doesn't love a couch?! As you can tell WE do! The sitter watched tv with us and gave us treats to make us happy! I do my own thing for the most part. Run around outside, exploring, you know. But I do like my cuddles, and I loooove my dinner! WHOO!

Porkchop: I was quiet today but accepted the treat even though I looked gloomy...I just miss my mommy! I can't go anywhere with out the sitter. He put us out when he was cleaning the dishes but I stayed right by the door and waited for him to come out before I started playing! I like being around the sitter, so what?!

Murrary: I'm just hangin' around upstairs. The sitter came up to give me cuddles and thaaaank you.

Snowflake: Bark! Bark! I want more treats! I walked in circles a lot today, I let me nose tell me where to walk...the deer must of been out of the woods recently.

Gray Kitty not sure which one.. Milo? : I was all over the sitter when she walked in the house! She put out food and water and cleaned two litters boxes...we had to have some more litter put in to. I was so happy to eat!!! :)

Bean: I was kind of sleepy today when the sitter came over. I'm usually really hyper, even in the mornings but today was a bit different. I was just waking up when the sitter got here. After we came back inside, the sitter gave me some good scratches and got my leg motor going really fast. It was only when he was leaving that I started to get really excited and full of energy.

Ernie: If you thought bean was sleepy, you should have seen me! I didn't even get up right away when the sitter arrived. it took me a minute or two to join them out in the kitchen. But the second we set foot outside, I went potty so it's a good thing I woke up when I did! When we got back inside I got a treat but i tried to weasel some more out of the sitter with no luck.

Lula: The sitter came over and we were just full of energy, running and circling around the sitter. He got down on the floor and played with us a bit to try and get our willies out a bit before going on our walk. He knows that when we're really excited it's easy for us to get all tangled up in our leashes. and the sitter has to have fun getting us all untwisted!

Coco: We got to play with the sitter before going out on our walk. When we came back in the sitter got to cleaning out our boxes. There was a bit of a mess around the one upstairs but it all came up without too much of a problem. he got the kitties' boxes as well and before he left he made sure we all had plenty of water and food.


Daisy: When the sitter walked in, I got all excited and ran down the stairs to see who it was! When I got down there and realized it wasn't my mom or dad, I was alot less thrilled. I was a little nervous until the sitter took out my leash, then i got pretty excited to go out. After we came back, as soon as the sitter unhooked me, I was gone upstairs!

Harmon: I don't know what Daisy is so worried about. She's missing out on a ton of great petting and scratching. And when the sitter whips out that brush of mine? Don't even get me started!

Mattie: The sitter stopped by and i was waiting patiently for him in my crate. When he let me out I was super excited to see him and get outside. I couldn't decide what was more important! We had a really good walk and when we came back inside it was play time...after getting a big drink, of course. We played with the duck the most and when the sitter said it was time to leave, i let go of the duck and told him we'd have a rematch later!

Raven & Cooper: MOM WAS HOME!!! yay! The sitter stuck around for a bit tho and talked to her about all the fun things we do when he visits.

Wilson: As soon as the sitter opened the door to my room, I was ready to go on my walk. We went outside and saw a neighbor then we got going on our walk. Today, I was in the mood to smell just about everything, almost as if I was looking for something. The siter found out later that i was just looking for something to eat when I picked up a pinecone. He took it away from me but made it up to me by giving me a treat when we got inside.

Guiness and Bear: We went gallivanting around the neighborhood and inspected all the mailboxes, even peed on most of them too!

February 9, 2009

Rufus: I did not want to wake up this morning! Your bed is SO comfortable! Once my leash was on I was ready to go! I had my cheese with my pill to make things more easier. I gobbled up my food too! :) I punched the sitter in the face. I couldn't help it! He was just staring at me and I wanted cuuuuuddles! I appologized and he delivered the cuddles. I took my pill with some cheese and had a good dinner. It was dark out there tonight... like night time usually is but it was still a fun walk!

Sam: I like this weather so much better! Who wants to be frozen while they go for a walk?! I kept my head down looking for a treat but I never found anything! :( I was hiding somewhere when the sitter came but he called to me and I came. I got to go out first for my walk and I was pretty excited about that! I got some good cuddles too while Lily was being a slow poke with her food!

Lily: Oh goodness! This weather is so nice! I didn't find anything on the ground to eat either! I took my time with my food because I got extra cuddles when the sitter first came in... I was just trying to be nice but Sam never sees that! I still love my brother though! TREATS ARE GOOD!

Chicken: The sitter carried me around and told me that she could make another chihuahua with my extra skin...I don't think I want another dog...then I would have to share more and Chicken don't like all that sharing!

Elephant: The sitter put a chewie in my mouth to keep me quiet. The neighbors didn't say anything about us, who doesn't like the sound of our barks?! It is a lovely sound!

Zeus: I have now taken over for Salem as the cat that comes out and investigates these people coming into our home. We sure miss her!

Wolf: I really wanted my food tonight! I kept telling the sitter and he said he was going as fast as he could but I'm not so sure about that. It was good though!

Biscuit: I laid on the couch...this weather has me so lazy but then again I am always lazy, right?! I love being outside. I could stay out there all day long. I tried wrestling with the sitter but Pork Chop said "Nope, no way!" She needs to mind her own business! Atleast she didn't hog all the cuddles!

Porkchop: I barked a lot until I got a treat then I got all lazy with Biscuit...we love our television! I don't like when the sitter acts like he wants to wrestle with Biscuit. I bark at him then he shows me he's just playing and I go up for my cuddles. I like getting my back scratched!

Snowflake: Patches was outside all the way down the road. The sitter thought I couldn't see him but I knew he was there! I turned back around because I wasn't feeling like dealing with him today...he has too much energy for me sometimes!

Bean: We are happy, little, innocent puppies. We just like to play all day and get cuddles. I took my treat again pretty easily and showed the sitter how much I like it with some kisses!

Ernie: The first thing I did when I saw the sitter this morning was to jump on him and give him a hug. Walk time! Walk time! Play time! Bean didn't have half the energy I did! We played quite a bit outside. I can't get enough of it out there! The mean puppy next door was out though and he scares me. Always growling and what not. I'm Ernie, the nice cuddle bug, I don't want to fight.

Coco & Lula: We had such a fun time playing with the sitter. After he made sure the cats and us had enough food, we took a lovely stroll. Lula wanted to inspect every stone and stick.

Mattie: I was a tumbling ball of energy today. I did my best to contain myself but I can't help but feel so great when it is so great outside!

Bailey: What a free afternoon for a walk. The sun is shining the breeze is warm, there are squirrels running everywhere. Squirrels! I want those squirrels! They can only run for so long... I can't run at all with this leash holding me back. Oh well. When the sitter came back for my evening walk the sunset was so gorgeous. I had to be quick and get every scent in before they went to sleep for the night.

Cooper & Raven: Raven and I are hot dogs. At least we feel like it. It is quite warm out and our rigorous dog jog has forced our tongues out to dangle from our mouths. Raven ran like a mighty emperor today.

Wilson: I got to ride in the sitter's car today! We had so much fun pretending to be a crime fighting super duo. I didn't have my leash with me at day care so they said I could borrow theirs until next time!

February 8, 2009

Ernie: Bean was a tiny explosion of a dog this morning. When the sitter came, she went crazy, barking and trying to get his attention. Outside she barked all along the street. I just walked silently, enjoying the morning.

Bean: Time for one of those evening walks with the sitter. Ernie always gets so excited when he knows it's time. I was so happy I couldn't sit still when the sitter was putting my collar on. The sitter nick named me "Jumping Bean."

Spot: The sitter came to check on us today. Our litter boxes were cleaned and food was refilled. I'm thankful but I'm still not letting him near me. A king has to have his space.

Biscuit & Pork Chop: The sitter came over to play with us this afternoon. Wolf laid in the sun while Pork Chop and I wrestled and jumped on the sitter. I just want to lick him all over the face.

Wolf: We had a delicious dinner this evening with the sitter. Then us dogs had a small wrestling match to entertain the sitter. Biscuit and Pork Chop know I am the champ, but they always challenge me. After we enjoyed the view as the sun set.

Rufus: The sitter made me a most scrumptious meal right before our walk. We passed by so many houses with people playing basketball. It was slightly strange, but we didn't question it. I was so excited I forced the sitter to jog a little bit, then I got tired and we finished the walk walking. But I did my business and came back in for a treeeeeat! and when we got back I stretched out and took a nice nap.

Grey: I took my shot like a champioooon. The sitter put some food out for me and I ate a bit of it then I noticed he was getting ready to give me the shot so I prepared myself. He put down the shrimp food after, which was my favorite!

Tybee: I got lots of cuddles because I need them and can't live without them. I followed the sitter everywhere and watched him to everything. He did pretty good!

Summer: I was hiding. I didn't get much cuddles or anything. But the food was good when I finally came down!

Zeus: I was hanging out with DK and Joe at the dinner table when the sitter interrupted out meeting. He went into the other room and the other two took the chance to run and hide. So I got all the cuddles!

The Hidin' Kitties: Obviously hiding. DK and Joe had a close call but they got out of there quick! Later we came out though and found foooood!

Gizmo: I'll take some cuddles. Thank you very much sitter man. Oh, I'll take some food as well. Mr. sitter man has read my mind!

Gadget: I freaked the sitter out right away. I met him at the door but I didn't want to escape, just wanted some cuddles, which I GOT!

BB: It was a beautiful evening and I intended on enjoying it. I took my time, did my business and sniffed everything I could. Mmmm mm! But I was excited to get back inside too!

February 7, 2009

Tybee, Grey, & Summer: Grey and I welcomed the sitter in. Grey got his insulin shot and said he wouldn't have known unless I had told him. The sitter was very gentle. Summer didn't want to come down, but we had a great time anyway.

Ernie: Both Bean and I were right at the door this morning, we both had to go pretty bad! I never would have believed the sitter that it was supposed to be as warm as it got today because it was still cold in the morning. But not too bad. When we made it back inside the sitter gave us each a cookie and then took turns giving us all over body scratches.

Bean: When we got outside it was good timing because me and Ernie went potty right away. We had to go! After getting back inside, I started barking at the door to the backyard like I wanted to be back outside but the sitter just gave me a cookie and scratched me all over. Well...that's not what i was trying to tell him but I'll take it anyways!

BB: I love how the sitter carries me outside everytime we go for a walk! Then I get outside and run around! I was especially active today! I kept running circles around the sitter and he had to keep up with me while I ran back and forth! It was chilly out, so I had to keep warm somehow!

Duff: I haven't seen the sitter in so long that I had to chew on his arm! I'm so excited! Let's go run!

Cooper: It was a great day for a run! The sitter tired us out, especially me! But I got a burst of energy when this big egret flew by! I wanted to catch it! -Raven

Rufus: The sitter woke me from my sleep, and after some stretches I made him rub my belly to make me hungry for dinner! And it worked! I inhaled it and then had a treat, it kind of tasted like there was a pill in there, though! Very sneaky. We then walked real far! The weather was really good, and the sitter said it reminded him of our walks in Forsyth a while back. I talked to some dogs along the way and even got to jog a little! Woof!

Benny: I became friends with our sitter real quick and then we went out for a nice long walk! It was such a nice night too! We peed on all the mailboxes we could find! And the sitter even kept up with us when we ran!

Desi: This new person scared me at first! I wouldn't stop barking, even for treats! But then Benny sat on the couch with him and I hopped up too and he ended up being very nice!

Zeus: The sitter walked in and said the building confused him a little bit but after thinking more like a hotel he figured it out! Good thing, too because we need some attention. Well...at least I need some attention. The sitter spent some time petting and scratching me before he scooped out our boxes and gave us more food and water.

DK: I was trying to be very sneaky and not let the sitter see me but I slipped up and he saw me running away. Darn, I was trying to be like Fluff. She was the master hider today!

Fluff :You might as well not even try. I'm like a shadow!

Mozart: I got to go out all by myself! I was nice and didnt growl when she picked me up. I can't help it if I am blind!

Frosty: I had dirt in leaves all in my hair! It was a nice pretty day and I couldn't help but get dirty!!

Indy: I was nice and calm sleeping on the couch most of the time.

Ori: I wanted to stay out with Mozart but the sitter had me come in so she could watch him better.

Bean: I really love to eat! I tried to convince the sitter that we eat more than what the work order says but she wasn't listening to me! It was 20 degrees in the morning and I don't blame the sitter for not wanting to stay out much with us.

Ernie: The sitter says I have the cutest face! I was a good boy and went right out, I really don't have a problem going outside anymore like I used to! Bean and I had already eaten when the sitter got here, so we greeted the sitter and acted extra nice to try to get an extra meal. It didn't work. But we had lots of fun in the backyard chasing him!

Snowflake: Patches was barking at me a whole lot but luckily I was walking the opposite way so he couldn't get me! The neighbor says I am friends with him but seeing a big dog coming at me scares me and I don't really care if he is my crazy friend or not!

Zeus: I jumped on the counter to sniff the sitters purse while I watched her give us more food and water. Our litter boxes were still cleaner than normal so mom and dad must of left recently! hehe

Sam: wow! It is so cold I think the water will become ice! YIKES!

Desi & Benny: When the sitter came to walk us, we were afraid of him at first. But he knew where our treats are and won us over. After our walk, Benny and I took a nap, its just one of those nap days.

Bella: The sitter came over today to play with me and spend time with me. I was right at the door when he got here and ready for him to give me some good petting time! We tried to go outside but right when we got there there were some really scary guys on motorcycles making lots of noise so we waited until they were gone and tried to walk but i was really nervous already. The sitter said we were going to spend some time out in the front yard anyways to try and get me more comfortable with it so we did and it was ok as long as the sitter kept petting me!

Raven: When the sitter got here we were both very excited to see him I started leaning right up against him and Cooper performed his usual fare with the toys and the hopping around. During our walk, sometimes you want to just stop and smell some stuff but the sitter never lets us unless it's for potty. He always says "let's keep moving"! *sigh*...I guess exercise is a good thing!

Cooper: I love it when the sitter shows up and plays with me and my toys for a little. He always brings out the apples and yogurt which has a tendency to calm me down in a matter of seconds! The sitter thinks it's funny how the bowl never says where it was when he set it down cause we lick them and have to chase them around a bit! Walk time!

Brooke, Java, & Ginger: We are about to freeze to death outside! Well, Java and Brooke will freeze, the sitter won't let Ginger out on the back porch at all. Ginger is really not happy about that but as long as the sitter pets her alot, she will forgive her. Brooke keeps looking for her boyfriend, Rambo, but she only saw him the other day. The sitter needs to adjust our walks so Brooke can see him Brooke thinks he is the most adorable dog she has ever seen! Java likes to run around in the yard. Especially when the sitter runs so he can chase her. Then when he barks, she barks back. He wants to jump up and lick her but she is very quick.
Brooke, Java, and Ginger are all happy that their real humans are coming home tomorrow. They have been very good and can't wait till their humans come to give them extra cookies and tummy rubs!

Tank: I was a bad boy and bit the sitter! She was just trying to put my leash on and I just wasn't thinking! After that I still didn't want to go outside but she made me go in the backyard to potty. I had my head down once I got inside, but she isn't sure if I knew what I did or not. I was in a bad mood earlier with the first sitter but not anymore with my second one. I was ready to get outside and play, play, play! I did my business and got some good exercise, then came in for a treat and looooads of cuddles.

Cujo: I love this cold weather! I love it even more when I am in the backyard being lazy!

Gadget: After I had my treats I got brushed! The sitter tried to get me to play with my toy and that lasted about a half a second!

Gizmo: I really liked the brush too! Gadget and I took turns, she tried to get me to play too but I just wasn't feeling like it.

Daisy: I was looking out the window when the sitter pulled up...I was wondering who it was and if I should make a run for it upstairs to hide. It went great and I had my usual bacon treat.

Snowflake: I got my ears all wet in my water bowl and then I went outside. I think when I get inside I will rub them all over the nice couch, it will make me feel so much better!

Sam: I bumped the sitters head big time when he was going down to collect the mail. I'm soooorry, I was excited! He gave me a hug after and told me everything was fiiiine!

Lily: I try to get real close to the sitter but Sam comes in and bumps me out. I'll get my cuddles though. I neeeeed em!

Ernie: We spent a lot of time outside tonight, yanno just runnin' around! We came back in for some fresh water and treats. I got some good scratches behind my ears too!

Bean: The sitter and I played with the frisbee thing tonight. It takes me a long time to figure out how to pick it up with my mouth but I usually figure it out!

Brooke, Java & Ginger: We had such fun in the yard today! Our sitter chased us then we chased her! We barked and barked and she even barked back at us. That was so funny cause she doesn't do it right. We really enjoyed our meals today and can't wait till tomorrow to be able to eat again. Brooke hogged the bed last night and Ginger had to stay off because we let her know it wasn't a good idea for her to get on the bed. She listened cause she knows we mean it! We laid around while the TV was on but we really were dreaming of what kind of fun we were going to have tomorrow! We can't wait!

Snowflake: WOW! I think my fur is about to be frozen! I don't know how the sitter can be out here without some fur on! We went our usual way down the trail then back to face the mean wind! I was running home and I only run when I really want to be in the house!

Mattie: I found some french fries on the ground down the street, I tried my best to get them but the sitter wouldn't let me! I don't think just one would hurt me, right?! While we were inside I kept jumping all around her while she sat down with me, didn't feel like playing with toys, just her hair!

Daisy: Ohhh goodness! treat and outside time again?! It was extra cold today but I didn't complain. Harmon usually likes to act like he wants to go out but he stayed upstairs and hid until it was treat time.

Bella: As far as the walk was concerned, today went alright. I'm still nervous with the sitter when it's just us. We made it around the cul-de-sac here next to the house which is pretty good, right?! Afterwards the sitter just let me out in the backyard and spent lots of time with me just petting me and trying to get to know me better. When he left he gave me my great big kong toy!

Cooper: The sitter came over today and I had my yello wdisc to show him again. he played with me for a little bit but then brought out the apples and yogurt! Naturally, I averted all my attention to food. Afterwards we went on a walk. The weather wasn't too bad, only when the wind was blowing. me and Raven were side by side the whole time and, for some reason, kept bumping into each other today!

Raven: During our walk, alot of cars passed us. Much more than usual. That just meant more people to wave at and say hello as they drove by! I was ready to get outside, too. Copper always tries to get away from the sitter the first few times he tries to put on the gentle leader but not me! I'm ready to go! After the walk, me and cooper and the sitter played with the disc toy. I usually don't get in on the play fun as much as Cooper but i took charge of that toy today!

Pearl: My owner left the sitter some good tips on how to make me not so nervous and they worked great. He got my leader on me and out the door we went. Once we got far enough, i realized where we were going and I zipped all th way there. We arrived at the park and me and the sitter ran around and I tried to bite my leash. One of these days I'm going to get that thing!

Sam: We were waiting for the sitter right at the window. We heard him get out of his car a block away... we have good hearing! Then we had dinner right away and the sitter made me come in with him fill up our water so Lily could finish her dinner in peace!

Lily: I got to go on the walk first today but it was too COLD! I was still excited though and I was excited for the treat that came after!

Ernie: The sitter sat down with us and gave us some good cuddles. We spent a little time outside but all the neighbors were barking and it was reeeeally cold!

Bean: The sitter didn't give us dinner because you friend did already, but he did give us treats, and for the first time ever I ate mine! I've always been too excited before but not tonight!

February 3, 2009

Brooke, Java & Ginger: After our overnight visit, we had some yummy food! It was really cold out when we went walking but Brooke wanted her ice water anyway. Ginger wouldn't share her food with us and we really wanted to eat more. Lunch and dinner were very good too! Yay, another overnight visit with the sitter tonight!

Mattie: I am so over boot camp! Ready to run, jump, and act like myself again! It was such a nice day for a walk, we stayed in the sun so we didn't get chilli!

Snowflake: I might as well go for a walk, the cleaning people had me off the couch so I couldn't enjoy my daily nap! I went to the trail and actually enjoyed it, usually I want to run home every 10 steps!

Sam: I couldn't find any treats on the ground! I am so scared of them lamb statues yet I search for them every time just so I can get scared all over again! I met a mean puppy today but the sitter protected me! I said "let me at him!" and the sitter said nope lets walk this way. I said "fiiiiine".

Lily: YIPPEE! It is getting cold out there! Been staying upstairs when Sam is out because inside feels so much better when I don't have to be out there! I like to jump around a lot, it's just my nature. I loved my dinner and was really excited when the sitter came back with Sam because it was my turn to go for a walk!

Daisy: All the excitement is gone and I must run upstairs quickly! The sitter thinks I am silly!
