I couldn't do what Lisa does. I can barely keep my own schedule.
Up at 5:40. Check the house for wandering cats, make sure they're in their room. Let the dogs out of the bedroom and out the back door. Potty. Feed two dogs and 7 cats in separate dishes and separate places. Be sure Dale (old lady cat) gets her food where no one else can reach it.
Make coffee. Pick up bowls and wash. Check front porch cat food dish. Check back yard cat food bowl. Make sure doggie door is open.
Shower, drink coffee, do make up, dress, make lunch.
Scoop 7 litter pans inside, one outside.
Pass out "cookies", Give Bear his thyroid pill and insulin.
Check all water dishes.
Off to work at 7:40.
Home at 4:45. Mix food for all 4 dogs. Mix wet & dry for all 7 cats. Clean all bowls again.
Eat dinner.
Lock doggie door. Let cats out of their room. Yell at Samson to "Leave the cats alone!" and finally put him on a leash.
Round up all the cats again. Let the dogs out, back in and get ready for bed. Do bed check and close bedroom door. Open cat room so cats can play all night.
10 PM and I'm falling asleep in front of the bedroom TV.
Weekends are the same schedule, but instead of going to work, I clean, shop, repair the house, do laundry, etc. I'm happy when I can read a book for half an hour.
