Just because Spooky-Season is over with doesn’t mean we’re in the clear from spooky situations…and some of the spookiest things I can think of as a pet owner and care-taker are the various results of an upset doggie-stomach..🤢

Before you buy (more) expensive supplements to fix this issue, check your pantry because the solution is likely hiding somewhere amongst your canned goods! (Just make sure it’s not expired, first…)

🎃🎃🎃🎃PUMPKIN is a natural and safe way to treat mild digestive problems in pups! It can aid with both constipation and diarrhea in dogs because of the high fiber content! It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals that are good for our doggies!🎃🎃🎃🎃

It’s always best to start with small portions when giving your pet pumpkin to help with tummy discomfort, and depending on where you get your info from, there’s a lot of different suggested serving sizes. If you’re nervous or concerned, you can always give your vet a call and ask what their serving size recommendation would be for your dog. A vet tech will likely be able to give you an answer without having to check with the doctor!

Dogs can ingest fresh pumpkin safely, but cats cannot. When it doubt, look it up first!

⭐️Tips for pumpkin product shopping:

🎃Make sure the product is PURE pumpkin. No added sugar or other ingredients…those cans of pumpkin pie filling can sneak their way into the section of “pure pumpkin puree”

🎃If you want to go the dog-supplement route, check the ingredients list. Again, no added sugar or sweeteners should be included.

🎃Look for other fruits/veggies in the ingredients list of these powders and supplements—make sure nothing that your pup is allergic to is included. Sometimes these companies sneak animal proteins into their supplements to add protein, and if your dog has a chicken allergy or some other protein allergy, you will want to steer clear of the product if you’ve found those ingredients on the list.

🍂🍁Happy Fall! And enjoy these sweet pics of a TCE original, Cash Stroud ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don’t forget to check your yards and property for misplaced candy and trash from last night’s trick-or-treaters! No matter how vigilant someone is when walking their dog(s), we all know how quickly they can pick up something without our noticing. A lot of the candy that gets handed out every year is toxic to animals! Especially chocolate!

TCE welcomed its first tripod client today! Meet Mollie! She is a resident of the Greenways and her sweet mom isn’t able to walk her like she used to, so that’s where we come in!

I was told that Mollie doesn’t normally take to strangers the way she did to me, today, and I can’t articulate just how enormous that compliment is to me! She’s a strong, happy girl who doesn’t give two t***s about missing a leg. We’re happy to have in our pack!

Next up…we had another great time hanging out with the Wood crew over the long weekend. Popcorn (the doodle) and Nala (black cat) were all about the snuggles, as usual. Not pictured, Pancake (who also got in on some cuddles) and Quanah (who made a drop-in visit in between neighborhood strolls and bird-hunting)…

We welcomed a couple of sweet fur-babies to The Crate Escape last week! Hawkeye (larger pup) and Radar (smaller pup) belong to a friend from Hereford (Go Herd!!) and her husband! With the help of their little girl, these two pups are so incredibly loved and cared for.

TCE felt particularly lucky to get to watch over them because Hawkeye is a special-needs pup. When her parents rescued her nearly 9 years ago at just 7 or 8 weeks of age, they quickly realized that something was wrong. When they took her to the vet, they found out she had distemper.

If you know anything about distemper, you know that it kills 80% of puppies it gets ahold of (mainly due to being unvaccinated) and for the 20% who survive, it causes epilepsy, all kinds of neurological and immune issues, and often paralysis. This is why the distemper vax is considered a core vaccine and any dog-owner is responsible for keeping their pet’s immunizations up to date.

‼️PSA—PLEASE vaccinate your pets. They deserve to be healthy and have the very best chance at a happy life, free from preventable diseases. And while we’re at it, PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PETS, TOO‼️

Now, back to Hawkeye 🥰 Her parents found out about an experimental treatment being used and were able to get Hawkeye on the list for the trial. There was no guarantee that it would stop distemper from ravaging her little body, but they were willing to try anything. Thankfully, it stopped the distemper in its tracks! Sadly, she has seizures from time to time, and you can tell she has some neurological issues when she walks, but apart from that, she’s like any other nearly 9 year old doggie! She loves to run and play and get all the pets and booty-scratches from her people.

She takes some time to warm up to new people, but we all knew it wouldn’t take long before Emma was on her good side ❤️ Little Radar is (from what we were told) the antisocial one of the two, but he instantly loved Emma! He’s a snuggler, a kisser and an all-around lover-boy. By the end of her time with them, they both wanted to sleep in bed with Emma!

Shyla & Nate, thank you both so much from entrusting your two fur-babies to TCE while y’all were out of town! ❤️

It had been a while since Miss Harper needed our care, and we sure were missing her, so we were pleasantly surprised when her mom reached out about taking care of her! She is one of the sweetest pups alive, and she had even more spring in her step this time around! Swipe all the way over to see her in action 🏃🏾‍♀️💨

Shoutout to a client! Buffy has been with me since the beginning of my walking services and boy, have we gotten to know each other!

If I’m remembering correctly, she comes from champion herding stock in Ireland, and though she is most entertained by chasing shadows, she has every bit of the energy you’d expect from a pup with those genetics. She is very affectionate and wants a human hand petting or loving on her at all times. Her quickness underscores just about everything she does, from giving kisses, to reacting to a squirrel or shadow to obeying a command. Shes a beautiful pup, and has the very best heart. I’m so thankful I get to spend time with Buffy❤️

Tucker (the golden retriever mix) and Koko (the husky mix) joined The Crate Escape family while their parents were out of the country for 10 days!

Tucker loves his ball and he really wants you to chase him around with it in his mouth—I think he thinks as a retriever, it’s his job to make the humans retrieve him 😂 Koko plays the obstacle course (for Tucker) once you finally do get the ball to throw for Tucker to fetch. They also love to wrestle and play hard together.

As far as how they receive love, Tucker would prefer that you pet him to no end. Koko gives you her fluffy butt to scratch which will eventually lead to a collapse on the floor for tummy scratches. Their personalities are so fun and we are so glad we got to care for and love on them! It’s a big deal to be trusted with people’s pets when they’re out of town, and for them to go out of the country only makes the compliment bigger!

We love Tucker and Koko!

Today’s passenger princess…😍🥰👑

There’s just one thing I absolutely HATE about dogs, and it’s that their lives feel so short compared to ours. These posts hurt my heart, but we are so grateful for the fact that our clients trust us with their fur babies, and we want to make sure we honor their lives when they cross over the rainbow bridge.

On Wednesday morning, this sweet boy, Link, crossed over, himself. And though I’m glad he’ll never have to slip and stumble because his back legs gave out suddenly while walking or deal with the pain that came with his aging joints and old bones, selfishly, I feel sad that I’ll never be greeted by him again.

He lived across the alley a few houses down, and every now and then, I’d hear his cute, scratchy, faint bark outside of the times I took care of him. He was such a lover boy, and he just about bathed me every time I saw him because he loved to lick me until he had nothing left to lick with! He was as good natured as they come. I wish I could have hugged and kissed him one more time before he went to the other side.

Brenda and Dan, it was such a joy and a privilege to take care of this sweet boy. He was one of a kind. I hope you know how much I loved him. My heart is with y’all as you adjust to living without him.

Another great week has come and gone since Emma joined our team! She took care of the Denton’s (alongside Lylli), the Wares AND mine! We sure are lucky to have her! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Emma! You’ve been the perfect addition to the pack!

This is Stuart/Stewart—pronounced the way The Californians from SNL pronounce the name. He has this very cool trick where he makes his front legs disappear. Hopes you’re impressed. 15/10, would recommend giving him a head scratch for it.

It’s not every day you go to a meet and greet only to realize that your new walking clients are actually old friends. I was so excited when the front door opened and I saw Lexie, the sweet hound mix and Chief, the big ol’ teddy bear of a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. (Swipe all the way through to see what Chief looked like whenever I first met him…)

These sweet babies were clients at the doggy resort I worked at a few years ago. When I left that job, I remember feeling so sad to leave all of my puppy friends that I’d created deep relationships with, and I had a small hope in my heart that I would run into any or all of them again someday. It’s fun when that actually happens!

Colleen and Charles, thanks for making that dream come true! I love your babies and I’m excited to get to spend more time with them in the future!

Ps. Lexie is a happy girl… She just happens to have those soulful, sad eyes.

Pps. I promise I have shorts on…

This cutie boy is named Gus and he’s new to The Crate Escape family! We just finished his first full week of walks and will continue until his mom if fully mended and can get back out there with him!

He’s so excited about life and wants to go out and explore everything. He found his mom when he was a stray wandering around at the end of May. His mom says he was covered in fleas and ticks, and was very skinny. She immediately sprung into action, got him all cleaned up and to the vet to begin vaccinations and on the schedule for neutering. She has invested so much into this little guy, it’s truly inspiring. I’m so happy they’ve found each other.

Welcome to the crew, Gus!

I have some super exciting news!! The Crate Escape team has grown by a new human member! Everybody, please join me in welcoming Emma Martin to the crew!

She already has extensive experience taking care of other people’s fur babies, and when I first heard of the way she goes about loving on her clients pups, I knew I had to reach out to see if she would be interested in helping us out around here. Fortunately for me, she was game!

Emma just graduated from Tascosa high school and she will be starting classes soon at WT! She is going to study communication disorders in hopes of becoming a speech therapist. She will also be a member of the choir at WT (after being a part of The Freedom Singers at Tascosa) so your fur babies will be serenaded by the best of them when in her care! She’s also on the Sod Squad so you have probably seen her at Sod Poodles games, as well!

Once school starts, she will likely be helping TCE from dinner-bedtime and on weekends, and she just completed her first TCE job this weekend! As you can see, Sadie Nanners is a big fan of Emma after their time together, and I just know your babies will love her, too!

Welcome to the family, Emma!!

Millie and Murphy (and their humans) have been very loyal to TCE and I’ve always loved spending time with them! These two pups recently got a nephew named Moe!

Millie and Moe will run around and play all day. They have the most fun together! Moe tries to get Murphy involved, and he’s not generally a fan, so he just comes and lays or sits next to me.

Moe has already grown so much since the first time I met him, and it’s very clear that he’s going to be enormous when he’s full grown. It’s a good thing he’s such a chill little lover boy!

I can’t wait for more fun shenanigans with these three! It’s always a pleasure taking care of the Sharp babies❤️

I have a lot of catching up to do, and the first item on the list is introducing the Ware fur-babies as new members of our pack!

Leo (all black and white) and Luna (tri-colored) are litter mates and the very best brother/sister duo I’ve ever met! They’re both extremely affectionate, but Leo will wait until Luna has gone first before he will ask for love. They love their walks, treeing squirrels, their food, treats and their people.

Boo and Nala are their precious kitties. Boo, the tan cat, is very social. She joins her pup-siblings and her humans on their walks sometimes, and she loves to drink water out of the faucet. Nala prefers to do her own thing, but loves her people and laying on her dad’s pillow.

It was so sweet getting to take care of them after knowing these pups for a little while now! I’m excited for all the times to come!

#adayinthelife starring Lylli! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In case you’re having a case of the Mondays on a Tuesday, here’s this cutie. I can’t tell you how many times I would look over to find him in his own little world, laying on his back with his toy in his mouth, growling to himself. Oh, to be Eddie…

Talk about #wearabledevices…this is one I think we could all agree on. It’s been a while since we got to spend some time with the Reimer pups, and in the time that has passed, little Daisy isn’t so little anymore! At least not like she once was, but she’s still small enough to wear like a neck pillow!

…and there’s nothing wrong with that! Just made me chuckle the first few times he went potty on our walks. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta back it up… Sadie here doesn’t feel so sure about hardwood or tile floors and she’s developed a habit of turning around and entering the living room booty-first. It’s hilarious and adorable to watch! Every pup truly is soooo unique and I am so lucky that I get to witness all the little quirks and characteristics all of my client’s display!

Pardon all the throat clearing…but sometimes you just have to make the announcement anyway. more details to come, but TCE is adding another option for our clients. Thank you for trusting us with your beloved, furry family members. It’s been a while spring break, but without all of the busyness, we would not have realized there’s another way for us to take care of your babies. We hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of their spring break, and that everybody who has gone elsewhere has a safe trip home!

This is a late #sundayshenanigans and #mancrushmonday post rolled up into one. These boys tie for both! Goose (yellow lab) and Cash (Australian shepherd) love to party hard on our walks. If you ever pass us while we’re walking and are lucky enough to witness one of their hilarious bouts of self-walking, booty-first hopping or tug-of-war, just know that this is part of our routine, now. 😂❤️🦮

I think we can all agree that we could use a 5-pup dog pile to keep us warm in these temperatures…

Jumping on the Wrapped train with this one! It was so fun to make, and it was honestly surprised by the numbers, myself! We are soooooo grateful for your support. Happy New Year! I had a tag limit so I’m sorry if you’re not included!

Pouncing on hump day like it’s our job, over here!

Turkey on the loose! This Pyre-doodle is gracing my pups and I with his presence this Thanksgiving! His name is Chappie and he wants to wish you all a happy day with your family and friends—one full of peace, comfort and yummy food.

We’ve all had times when we can’t find the time to walk to dog(s). Maybe they’ve become difficult to handle and it feels overwhelming. Whatever the reason, don’t let guilt and all of your “should”s keep you from doing what’s best for your pups. Walks for Wolflin residents start at $25 and bundling discounts are available for multiple walks a week! If you live in a different neighborhood, contact me! I want to help you give your pups the exercise and fun they deserve!
