Alex and Dexter, from left to right, are watching what our neighbors are doing so they can later on share some gossip with us. I don’t know who’s turn is it to take notes so nothing goes unreported, but I am sure they’ll do a great job. Because this is a small window, Roxy had…

Funny things dogs do.
Dogs Exchanging Beds
Can you see Dexter on his big, comfortable bed? When I started pet sitting, a couple of years ago, I was obsessed with making the dogs that stayed with us use only their bed, but as time went by, I realized that they many times exchanged beds. Now, can you see Dexter on this little…
Siesta Time On a Really Lazy Afternoon
There are many things that the dogs that stay with us and Alex teach me, but there is one thing I had, and still have, a really terrible time doing for the longest time ever and that was, this is such a shameful confession since we Spanish are known for our siestas, taking a nap. As a child growing…
Hanging Out With My Girl, Alex
I took this picture last November while walking with Alex on a trail on a beautiful Fall day. Even though my neighborhood has a lot of areas where we can walk, I like to take Alex to different places outside of our neighborhood so she can experience new smells, people, dogs, etc. Lately, we’ve been pretty…
Guard Dogs Sleeping On The Job?
After our morning walk, Alex, a pit bull/Dogo Argentine mix, and Dexter, a boxer mix, were brushed and wiped, and because the weather was so nice we stayed hanging out on the deck for a little while. I like to brush them and wipe them after our walk not only because I like my house and dogs…
My Chaotic Home: A Laid Back Tuesday
I had a pet parent a while ago say, “Your house must be very noisy and chaotic when you have dogs staying with you.” Well, yes and no. Yes, my home is chaotic when: a pet parent is dropping off or picking up her furry kid because the other dogs can smell and hear this…
Memorial Day 2013
Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces and their families, but also to the active duty personnel that every day do their job, however hard it may be, to keep us safe and allow us to have the freedom…
The Aftermath of Introducing a New Dog to Our Pack
We got Walter, Alex, and Dexter, (from left to right), to pose while I held a treat and Cynthia took this picture Walter and Dexter are getting along great. The nice long walk I use to introduce a new dog to our pack is worth it, and I’d recommend it to any pet parent adding…
Introducing A New Member To Our Pack
As a pet sitter, I am always introducing a new dog to my pack, and I was recently asked by a pet parent how do I go about doing such introduction, so I decided to share this information and experience with other pet parents and perhaps get some feedback as well. This evening, after dinner,…
Nylabone Exchange
For her birthday, Alex got an off white Nylabone. Walter’s parents brought a brand new white Nylabone. I gave Alex her off white Nylabone and the white one to Walter, but they both looked at their respective bones, and then went for the one that did not belong to them. Go figure! Walter seemed delighted…
