Your Gal Friday: South Austin Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

05/20/2024

Hi Friends,
I'm moving out of Austin next month, so it's time to close the business. I'll be in town for Memorial Day weekend, and will be available. My last day of service will be Sunday, June 2.

Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. It's been a blast. Big hugs and much love to all of you!
-Annie

Something to make you laugh, bring a smile to your face, and some lightheartedness as you close out your day. 🐶

Nelly, Koko, & Andi know how important it is to have a solid relationship with a pet sitter who can jump in anytime their humans’ plans change. PM today for more info!

This is for anyone who grieves over the loss for their pet. And selfishly for myself regarding the loss of Dan.

Emanuele Grandi's moving poem dedicated to our four-legged friends.

"If you are afraid of having given me few caresses, you should know that I have not forgotten even one.

If you regret having scolded me even once, you should know that I don't even remember it.

If you think you've left me alone for too long, you should know that I've always been waiting for you.

If you are afraid of having spent little time with me, you should know that I, even that little, have enjoyed every moment.
If you think you've played little with me, you should know that I've never counted the times you threw the ball at me.
If you think I've forgotten about your perfume, you should know that even now I'm smelling it in the wind.

If you wanted to be reborn in another life, you should know that I would like to be your puppy in that one too.

If you are convinced that you have some flaws, you should know that for me you have been the perfect one.

If you believe that love can have an end, you should know that in my heart the place of love is infinite.

If you think you have regrets about me, you should know that I would not change a single second of the life I have spent with you.

If you think I no longer hear your voice when you call me, just entrust the sunset breeze with the task of bringing me your words.

If you think I can forget your face, you should know that I wanted to live alone to enjoy your look.
If you think I could have loved someone more than you, you should know that I have loved you more than myself.

If you think I would like a soft sofa, know that with you I would also have slept on the stones.

If you think I wanted more than you gave me, you should know that I've always felt like the happiest puppy in the world.

If you have ever felt alone, you should know that I have never left my place next to you.

If you think my life has been short, you should know that I wouldn't have wanted to live a minute longer if I hadn't spent it by your side.

If you are afraid that I am no longer near you, know that as soon as you close your eyes I will fall asleep next to you.

If you think you have not made the right decision, you should know that I have always trusted you.
Always.”

27 visits to take care of Marie, Rocco, AJ, Vegas, Roman (camera shy so no pic), & 3 outdoor cats.

I love that you all love your pets so much.

I’m feeling my age tonight, so I’ll be taking a few days off, but I’m booking for Spring Break. DM for rates. Have a great week!

Just finished a loooooonnng week. Kokomo is the sweetest little wiggle-butt who accidentally ends up with derp-face from time to time, but it somehow makes her cuter. 💜

Dogs lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware that it comes with an unbearable price.
Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illusions we allow ourselves and the mistakes we make because of those illusions. ~Dean Koontz
