VISIT #1

Arrived today at 4:00 and ran into a little problem. Was able to get into the house and clean the upstairs litter box, but the downstairs was completely taped off due to painting. Luckily a very nice construction worker offered to be sure there was food and water for the cats downstairs before he left because there was no way to get into the rooms. Went down to the chickens and made sure they were full up on food and water and gathered 14 eggs.
I will return on Thursday and hopefully have access to the poor cats! :)

Final visit

Went for our final visit Friday at 3:00. Zeus was my greeter today, and he watched me clean the upstairs litter box. Headed downstairs and filled up the water dish and topped off the cat's food. Played for a little while and said goodbye to both kitty's.

Headed out and filled the chickens water. Slipped and slided in the mud but managed to stay upright to get the food full as well.
Collected 10 eggs and said goodbye to the girls.
It was an uneventful and good week!! When I left all was well and everyone was happy!!

Visit #2

Arrived at 3 o'clock today and were greeted at the door by Zeus. Alissa went right to work making sure the cats got lots of attention while I cleaned the upstairs litter box. The cats were both eager to go outside, sorry guys.. your people will be home soon!
Headed downstairs and cleaned the litter box, filled water dish and topped off the food.
Chickens had plenty of water, but topped it off just in case.. filled up their food and they got right to digging out the corn.
Collected an even dozen eggs and went on our way.
We will return Friday afternoon for a final visit! :)

Visit #1

Arrived today at 4:00 and Dante and Zeus were both there to great us at the door. First task was to clean the upstairs litter box.. with that done we headed downstairs.

I filled the cats water dish and topped off food. Cleaned the litter box and we played for a little bit.
Then we went out to the chickens and found they had no water, filled it up and they were happy gals! :) They still had a little food left, topped that off as well.
We gathered 16 eggs!! Alissa was very happy and proudly carried the eggs to the car.
Everyone was doing great! We will return on Wednesday.

Visit #1

Arrived today at 4:45 and entered through the garage. Went back to get Porter and she came bounding out of the room very excited to see me. I don't think it dawned on her that I was a stranger :) Took her outside and gave her a scoop of food which she promptly gulped down. I watched to be sure she did her business and she complied by watering the lawn a couple times.
We ran around the backyard for awhile and played... caught her shaking her head -
Now.. if you were a bad guy and saw this coming toward you it would be pretty intimidating, right? Oh, don't be fooled ;)
She promptly knocked me over and slobbered my camera right after the shot :)
We played for about 20 minutes and then I sat down so she would wander off and finish her business.. she snuck around the corner for some privacy and a quick peek confirmed the deed was done. I filled up her water dish outside and we headed in. I double checked to be sure she had water left in the bathroom and she did. I was about to leave when I noticed the tv was on, but not on a station -- it was on some kind of informational mode. It said to hit select to view the tv, so I did.. and then left a very happy and worn out Porter to watch NASCAR (sorry Porter hehe). Double checked to be sure everything was locked up tight and left through the garage. Will return in the morning for breakfast time.

Visit #4 - Final visit.

Arrived at the house today at 3:30. Brought the kids with me today and Alissa had a blast playing with the cats. I cleaned the upstairs litter box first and again one of the cats didn't make it into the litter a couple times, I can't quite imagine how they could misfire like that.. but I digress. :)

We headed downstairs and filled the water dish and topped off their food. Cleaned up the litter box and spent a little time giving the cats some love. Then we said our goodbye's and headed out to check on the chickens.
Everyone was doing great and happy to see us. Cleaned and filled the water and filled up their food container. Again I was amazed at how much these little gals can eat.
Collected thirteen eggs and said goodbye to the chickens.
It was fun to be back again and hang out with Dante, Zeus, and the seven chickens! :) We left and everyone was happy, healthy, and eager to see their people.

Visit #3

Arrived at the house yesterday 3:00 and knew right away the house keeper had been there! :) I was greeted OUTSIDE by Zeus!! Hmm.. he followed me to the door which was no surprise because it was raining and miserable outside. I grabbed the key and entered the garage with Zeus in tow and then ran into a little problem.. I couldn't get the door to open. Hmm.. ok, no panic went back out and made it into the front door. When I went back to the garage I checked the door and it just must have been jammed because it opened fine from the inside. Cleaned the upstairs litter box and looked around for Dante.. found her outside on the back patio pleading with her eyes to come in out of the weather. Let her in and we all headed downstairs.
Both cats went right to the food so they must have been outside for some time. The food and water dishes were full already and the downstairs litter box was clean. While checking these things I noticed the sound of water running.. hmm.. followed my ears to the downstairs bathroom and discovered it was the toilet. I am no expert with toilets, but I opened the lid and jiggled a few things and prest-o! It stopped running. No extra charge for plumbing services ;)
It was time to feed some chickens.. headed outside and fed and watered the chickens then gathered an even dozen eggs. Double checked that the house was locked up since I didn't take my normal route and headed home.
