Easter Weekend

Hello everykitty and everypuppy.  Meet Miss Muffet and Ishy (short for Ishmael) my companions this Easter Weekend. 

Miss Muffet poses to say hello.  She insisted on a selfie. 

Meet Ishy, he talks a lot and begs for treats whenever Miss Muffet gets one. 

hello every kitty. 

Ishy insisted on a selfie too. He wants to do what Miss Muffet does. 

Missy Muffat's a snugly pupper, but Ishy's all chill. 

Until it's time for a DaredvilE Flixathon. 

I do believe I detect a purr from Ishy 😻feeling loved by two pets today. Happy Easter all!

I am privileged to care for Wyatt when his Mom and Dad travel. His Mom took this picture and I love it so much. He's becoming a real character. Now all he needs is a pipe. 

Is It Too Warm To Take My Dog WIth Me Today?

                                           

We need to ask ourselves this question every time we drive with a dog.  Temperatures are edging up; here in the south they are up and down.  Soon it will be Spring and pet lovers will be taking their pets with them on more outings.

 When it's warm weather can literally be a killer for a dog left inside a car.  On warm days, the inside of a care heats up very quickly.  When it's 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car - even with the windows cracked - can soar to 102 degrees in 10 minutes and 120 degrees in just half an hour.  On hotter days, the temperature will climb even higher.  Outside temperatures in the 70s can be dangerous, as well.

Leaving a dog for "just a minute" may be too long.  Because they rely on panting and aren't able to sweat, dogs can't cool themselves like people can and their body  temperature can ries quickly.  Dogs left in the heat can suffer severe illness, organ damage - or even death - in a matter of minutes.

KEEP YOUR DOG COOL.
If you see a dog in a hot car, try to locate the dog's owners, then call animal control, the police or 911 if the dog is in distress.  If the dog is overcome by heat, we the dog's feet and coat with water and seek veterinary care immediately.

Sweet Chloe

I've been spending a few days with Miss Chloe. She's one of my first pets after I formed my business and she has the best energy. Sweet, gentle and always glad to see me.

Nana I'm so glad your here. Let play.

Tug-o-war is always fun.

When play is over it's more

More smells.  snuggle time. 

Smelling the smells is the order of the day.

Using a Professional Pet Sitter

Benefits of Using an In-Home (Live in) Pet Sitter

Using a professional pet sitter reaps benefits for both pet and pet parents. The PURR-fect choice for any pet that thrives best in the comfort of home, i.e. Greyhounds, rescue pets, older dogs and any pet who has issues being boarded.  Once you experience professional pet care in your home, you'll never worry about being away from your pet again.

For the Pets:

Benefits to your pets include:

• Staying at home in his/her safe, secure environment
• Being surrounded by familiar sights, smells and sounds
• Following his/her regular diet and exercise routine
• Lots of play time, hugs, kisses, snuggles
• Receiving love and personal attention
• Maintaining medical treatment, when required
• Having someone responsible in case of an emergency
• Eliminating the trauma of travel or an unfamiliar environment
• Providing comfort during thunderstorms
• Helping to ensure good health (no exposure to other animals' illness or parasites)

For the Pet Parent:

Benefits to you include:

• Knowing that your pet is in caring, loving hands
• Having the confidence that the pet sitter can deal with other issues - such as grooming, vet visits, home emergencies
• Eliminating the trauma of having to transport and leave your pet
• Not having to impose on family, friends or neighbors
• Feeling your home and your pet is more secure 

Not all pet sitters are created equal, nor are they all professional.  In hiring a pet sitter, it is important to make sure you have chosen the right person to care for your beloved animal.  Be sure anyone coming into your home is bonded and  has pet insurance.  When using a sitter service, have the sitters passed a background check (county, state and federal).  A great source for the most professional sitter is the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). reprinted by permission NAPPS

Where's Dad?

Wyatt has been listless today, first sleeping on his Dad's side of the bed, then in his Mom's office. It's day 10 staying with him. So I said "Wyatt, Mom and Dad will be home soon" 

Really. They're coming home? As he heads to the door. 

Nana, I don't see them. 

Are you sure? Or are you just messing with me.

No Mom and Dad? I'll just see if Emmie left any nibbles from breakfast. I'm not worried about my figure. 

Aww. No nibbles; guess I'll just chill.

I'll miss this guy when his parents get home. 

Good bye for now.

A Week in the Life of Your Pet Nana

Highlights of the Week

It's been a great week with Sir Wyatt, Miss Emmie and Stanley. Wyatt was my first Greyhound. They are such a pleasure; not as affectionate as other dogs so when they like you it is truly heart warming. 

We've taken lots of walks. 

Had chats about eating the cat's dinner. Wyatt, this snacking isn't good for your figure. 

Hiked a new trail. 

Quiet time together is always sweet. 

Wyatt keeps me company at meals. 

Missing Dad a little I think. 

I'm in Mom's office. Where is she?

Everypuppy have a great day. 

Stanley mostly ignored Wyatt and enjoys the sunshine. That's one thing about cats, they always find the sunbeams.

Queen Emmie on her throne. 

It's time for Wyatt's walk, so we will say good bye for now. It's a beautiful day; make it a great one everypuppy. 

Love from Wyatt, Emmie, Stanley and Your Pet Nana. ❤️
