Recently, I met an art student, and commisioned him to do a portrait of my three cats. I think Max likes it. I certainly do.

First Day of School -- 7:30 - 8:30 am

7:30 am. I had to get a kid off to school. Sorry, no photos of the kid, so here's a photo of Tucker.

8:00 am. Molly and Tucker get an unscheduled walk.

Because emergencies happen.

First Day of School -- Noon - 1:00pm

Noon. Another first for me: Draco and Cruz. I can't tell them apart, so here's one picture, the other one looks exactly the same.

I know this one is Cruz because of the color of his collar. This job is going to be fun. I look forward to watching them grow.

12:30 pm. Shelby's back from her vacation.


She's a stubborn one. I have to keep bribing her with treats or she won't go.

First Day of School -- 1:00 - 2:00pm

1:00 pm Charlie is my new love. Just look at him.

He lost an eye to some rare genetic disease, and it has been replaced with a marble. I had to administer an eye drop to his good eye.

1:30pm Dante was on "vacation" all summer, and had his family caring for him. With the humans back in school, I get to walk him again.

Dante enjoys sniffing every blade of grass.

First Day of School -- 2:00 - 3:00 pm

2:00 pm. Haven't walked Truman for awhile. I was filling in for their regular dog walker.


2:30pm. Meet Snoop. It was my first time walking him. He is a little stubborn, but ooh so cute.

I had a hard time getting into Snoop's house. it's a keyless entry, and the code wasn't working for me. Lucky for me there was a man there who let me in. He was a cook, and he was busy concocting delicious smelling things. Unfortunatly, he was married.

First Day of School -- 3:00-4:30pm

3:00 pm Browser and Thomas go for their walk.



3:30 pm. Bad Tucker and Molly.

I had to become a housecleaner for a change.
Afterwards I became a babysitter and fed the [human] infant while mom had a few things to do around the house. I really enjoyed sitting with the baby after a long day with the dogs.
