H and I had a nice walk today. There weren't many distractions for us and we enjoyed the snow. I always enjoy the workout!

L and I had a great walk today. She was a little hesitant in the beginning, but then she picked right up. She was looking stylish and warm in her pink coat, sweater and leash. I got some interesting looks walking down the street with her. I can't wait to do it again.

M was super excited to go outside today.  The wind and snow pummeled us the whole time.  She wanted to bound around in the snow.  We walked quickly today, so we got to cover more ground than usual.

M was super excited to go out today.  He hopped around a bit before we got into the groove of our walk.  There was lots of stuff to check out and no one was outside.  We had the neighborhood to ourselves.  I filled his water when we got back and scritched his ears. He didn't want to let me go, so I found a way to squeeze through the door without him.

L and I had a great time in the snow.  I saw her haircut and thought she should wear her little coat to protect her from the wind and wet.  It actually did a great job!  Her knees and elbows were muddy, but the rest of her was dry and clean.  The coat also was muddy, so I rinsed it out in warm water.  I haven't been able to get back to my computer until now, so that is why I called you earlier to make sure you were not surprised.  We had a great time and stayed warm!

M and I got out in the snow and there were lots of things to sniff.  He and I had a great time romping around.  Half way through our walk the snow stopped and the sun came out.  It warmed up and there was no sign that the snow dumped on us earlier (except for the pictures I took).  We had lots of cuddles throughout the walk.

It was bright and sunny and not too cold when H and I started out on our walk.  We were out in mid afternoon, so the snow could have hit us at any time, but it didn't start until we were done with the walk.  The snow started pouring down and the temperature dropped.  We had a great time playing games on our walk and H was excited to see her lunch there when we got back.

H was really into sniffing every little thing today.  Even though, we stopped a lot along the way, we were walking fast enough to make great time and cover lots of distance.  I almost got her huge grin in this picture, but we were having too much fun.

We had a nice walk today.  M had a few spurts of running, jumping, but most of the time we walked together side by side.  It was warm outside, but she managed to find some snow to play in.  Nice time overall.

M and I got the most of the sunny day.  She got into the chest deep snow and sniffed and then she'd bound around.  She was great!  I dried her off with her towel and skritched behind her ears before I left.

L ran around with me a little bit before we went on our walk.  She walked very well and she played in the snow quite a bit.  It was a beeeautiful, sunny day today and we enjoyed every minute of it.

H was so cute today.  She did multiple spins as I was coming up the driveway and she hopped in place as I got her leash.  We walked pretty quickly, so we covered a lot of ground.  It was a beautiful, sunny day today.  I gave her a big hug before I left.

18 Feb 10

M and I took a nice long stroll.  He was excited to be out and we went a different way than yesterday.  We were more than halfway done with our walk and we came across some loose dogs.  They stayed back when I asked them to and followed us at a distance for a while until we started up a steep hill.  M and I stopped at the midpoint to see if they were following and they weren't.  M and I had a great time.

L and I went around the block and she did very well.  There was lots of snow to play with and L dug some holes and sniffed around in the snow.  We practiced sitting and lying down when we got back.

17 Feb 10

M and I had an interesting walk.  There were people out with dogs, so we observed how they were.  We kept our distance, but it was all interesting.  M walked around in the snow and did a lot of sniffing around.  He also bounded through some snow banks.  I had a hard time choosing the best picture today, so the rest will be on the Facebook page.  Overall, we had a fun day.

L was thoroughly covered in snow within the first five or ten minutes of our walk.  She stuck her whole head and shoulders in footprints and snowbanks every chance she got.  We had a fun time

H and I had a great walk in the snow.  It was chest deep for her in some places and she used her nose to bulldoze paths in the fresh, unmarked snow.  Halfway through our walk, H caught the scent of something and zigzagged within the confines I enforced.  She calmed down after a short while and we had an excellent walk.

Your friendly neighborhood dog met me at the car, so I squeezed in the door.  I was met with an excited L!  She took her pill with no problem and we went on our walk with the other dog coming with us.  L wanted to run the whole time, so I walked quickly.  This also kept us warm.  We had a great time. :)

L was soo excited!!  I worked with the ice a little bit, but L was too squirmy.  We went out on our walk and L ran the whole time. She was so excited and we had a great walk.  I was trying to get a good picture of her face, but she kept turning away.  The wind and snow made it difficult to get a good picture.  This picture, however, was great!!  She was wiggling and I took the picture at the perfect time. The other picture shows the sunshine for a bit - that was nice, too.  I gave her lots of hugs and skritches before I left.

H and I had a great walk through the snow and rain today. It was COLD! In any event, this made us walk faster so we ended up covering a lot more ground. H wasn't big on my new wheels, but we figured it out by the end.

M and I had a pretty interesting walk today.  It was raining when we started, then the wind picked up and blew ice at us, and finally, it snowed.  M was super hyper and enjoyed putting her nose in the snow. I was only able to get a few pictures due to elements and M's excitement.  This picture show's M getting pelted with ice before she came over and let me shield her.

The kitties both rushed the door as I opened it, but they saw me and they gave us room to come inside.  We had a great time playing today.  We divided and conquered today.  O was in the mood to play, so Jim and the laser went to work.  O's precision is awesome.  I threw the crinkly blue "ball" up on the tower and J and I played fetch.  You can see J craning his neck to find the target.

J was waiting intently as I opened the door.  I came in foot first and J backed away.  Both J and O loved our shoes and jackets.  They were doing some great stretches and curling on the floor.  We got our chores done and played with both of them for the rest of the time.  They are soo much fun!

H and I had a great day. We met some other people and had a little fun trying to socialize. It went okay. Not much else to report. Nice snow today.

12 Feb 10

M was super excited to get out in the snow!  It was pretty deep in some places, so M was bounding around and sticking her face in the snow.  We had a great time!

10 Feb 10

L was walking along ok and then she decided she wanted to go a different way.  I continued to walk the way I had decided to go in the beginning and L kept holding back and acting strangely.  I finally gave in and we turned around and walked on the other side of the street.  L then began to bound and play in the snow.  She was more than her usual cheery self after we changed course.

It was a blustery and snowy day today.  H was super excited and we investigated lots of snow piles.

L and I had a great day today.  We saw the hawk again and she was running around the snow and slush.  It rained on us the whole time, but L didn't seem to mind.  She walked in ankle deep, icy ditch water and she was having the best time.  We went mostly the same way as we did yesterday and L was interested in everything, but no growling at mailboxes.  A guy came out of his house because his dog was barking at us.  He said that his dog was going nuts over us and he said L was a pretty dog.  Interesting day.

08 Feb 10

L was wiggly when I came through the door.  I told her how pretty she looked with her haircut and we dashed outside.  We took a completely different route this time and we got to see all sorts of fun things.  We saw the great big hawk we saw weeks ago.  L also was nervous around an intricate mailbox, so we investigated it and I picked her up to show her that the decoration on top was made of concrete.  She liked that and we were on our way.  The mailman gave her a treat as we passed him.  Overall, we had a great day.

08 Feb 10

I almost fell on the ice walking up to the house, so M and I took the snowy route through the garden.  She was excited to play in the snow.  She bounded around and then when I tried to take a picture, she would look away.  I whistled softly to get the profile shown here. She is so funny.  We saw a HUGE deer at our turn around point and M didn't  know what to do with herself.  She was in hunting dog mode for a good few hundred feet.  She calmed down and we had a pleasant stroll back to the house.

08 Feb 10

H and got moving pretty quickly in the beginning of the walk.  She was excited and I was wary of all the ice.  I almost lost my footing on a big patch up the hill, but, luckily, H stopped when I asked her to.  It was pretty chilly out there, but the sun was great.  In the photo, you can see H walking on solid ice in the ditch.  It was amazing.  She bounded around a bit and when it started crackling, she hopped off.  The ice was thick enough that it only cracked once shown here.

L came up to me right away and S followed soon after.  They were being extra cute, so I spent some time patting them before the chores.  I then gave them each a chicken treat and started my chores.  L followed me to the basement and through the house as I checked for messes.  There were none and we had another skritch session after my chores were done.  They both loved my shoes as usual.

06 Feb 10

L and S came to hang out with me right when I came in.  I gave them a chicken treat each.  L followed me around the whole time.  S came down to the basement, but when I turned around she ran back up.  After the chores were done, L and I hung out out by my boots and he rolled around happily while I scratched his back.  S came by and hung out with us off and on.  The snow was coming down in buckets, so I went to go see them early in case the snow kept going.  We had a great time.  I got more great pictures of both of them today, so I posted the rest of them on the facebook page.

The No Mess Pets FaceBook page features more photos from our visits that were still great.  We always post the best picture from each visit here, but sometimes it is difficult to choose.  We also post articles and events that may interest you.  Have a great day!

M was wiggly as I came in the door.  She and I went out in the pouring rain and had a nice walk.  There was no one out, so there were no distractions for M as she sniffed everything.  I got a great picture of her today looking back - so you can see her face!  She and I had fun while I dried her off.  She was great!

It was pouring rain outside, so when I came in I had to linger by the door for a bit.  I got my dripping jacket and wet shoes off onto the front door mat.  Both kitties came out to inspect me.  L followed me around as I did my chores and I gave him lots of skritches. S ventured out and hung out for a bit as long as I stayed fairly still.  She also had a bit to eat while I was there.  I gave them each a tuna treat.

H and I had a great time.  It was drizzling when I got there, but it started pouring soon after we started our walk.  There was still some snow on the ground, but the rain made it like snow cone ice.  H sniffed around and she stayed with me and that was great. She did really well today.

H and I had a great day today!  She was being great and got excited only once when she saw some new dogs out in their front yard.  She was great after the excitement.  We took some different streets today and H got to sniff around some new places.

It was pretty cold when I arrived, but it warmed up quickly.  H had a great time in the mostly fresh snow.  We played ball for a bit and the ball disappeared into the creek.  H couldn't get over there, so I drove down and walked the creek to find it for her.  If you noticed the footprints down there, they were most likely mine.
