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…

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!

A Letter To “My” Departed Dozer
Let me start by saying that Dozer was not mine, but although my brain keeps telling my heart that, my stubborn heart will never be able to comprehend that, therefore I say that he is “my” Dozer. My dear Dozer, When I first met you, during a meet and greet, I was in awe of your…
My Weekend Pack – Alex, Josie, Dozer and Sarris
This weekend, I’ll be in good company with Josie, Alex, Sarris and Dozer. Relaxing in the morning. Josie was the first one to arrive early in the morning. I was glad when her mom said that she took my advice and took Josie to the vet. The growth I pointed out on Josie’s last visit, according to…
