Adventures in Pet Sitting
Pet Sitting has been quite an enjoyable adventure. I have gotten to know a lot of different dogs and cats and they, like humans have such a variety of personalities, feelings and funny little quirks that they are truly a joy not only for their owners, but for Paul, Nancy, Daniel and myself as well.
This is a unique business to be in and a definite requirement is a love and appreciation of “fur” babies. Having had a few of my own, I know how fulfilling it can be.
I love the excited barks of a dog knowing that he or she is going on a walk, as it is important to be ready to go by the time you pull that leash out!
Or how about a warm kitty sitting on your lap, purring contentedly while keeping you and them warm? Or seeing their longing stares at the can of a delectable dinner entrée being opened?
We can and should learn a lot from them. One of the best lessons that they teach is that we (as humans) should really enjoy the very simplest of things in life. A walk (with our beloved people), licking up every last morsel of the food we are given and especially loving well and being loved; SO simple but extremely important!
I will be sharing some stories of our charges and others, so thanks for reading and go out and lick someone today!!
