At least it went happy 🙃

Read, remember, and don't do this to me or to other pet sitters:
How to get on your pet sitter's list of Nope.
Request summer weekend to weekend space for your pet. Go dark.
When pet sitter has to go through your mother (who is also booked with the PS) to contact you, only to have you tell the PS, 'we found another sitter' - IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DROPPING YOUR DOG OFF? When the PS has been wondering if you went off the road into a tree somewhere?
That's how you get on the NOPE list. Bu-bye, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

For anyone travelling regularly across borders with their pets - READ THIS! It will be required to bring your pet into the USA as of August 1st, 2024. If you will be traveling with your pet or bringing a new pet into the country in late summer or anytime after August 1st, you need to start talking with your vet about this now! https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&Id=12146666&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3gqc51Tj-Z6qeRz_bvG4EgeYr5_MW5UYCVK9HKXzxWzaJJGQ0fYDsEL8k_aem_QhTd3Q9MHEc2FyZsNDeUsg&f5=1

Here's a clever idea for cleaning up _and_ getting yourself crafting materials.

I know some places in Bellefonte which could use one of these

One of our local pet shelters. Might meander over and take a look

Not dog-related, but fits well with my fantasy stories. Check for Rillan macDhai, Sympathy For the Living, Roll the Bones, or Wall of Thorns & Other Stories if you are curious. Meanwhile, enjoy this look at a hidden library.

On this first full day of spring, we want to remind you that as the weather turns nicer and more and more people are out walking, many dogs do not do well when approached by other dogs.

Many dogs are fearful of other dogs, do not get along with other dogs, or may be reactive when they are on a leash.

Please be a good neighbor and pet owner by ensuring you have control of your dog.

Give other folks walking dogs space. That includings not letting small children just run up to any dog they see.

Ok, I've spent hours trying to delete crap posts about cakes, the NBA, and little pink things which I never posted to my business page. Supposedly, no one can post on my page now except for me. Hours for pet drop offs and pickups are from 7 AM to 9 PM EASTERN USA Time. Someone is here with the pets, but we do try to sleep occasionally, so the phone is on quiet hours from 10pm to 6:30 am, unless I've specifically unblocked you, no one will answer your texts or calls after 10 pm Eastern USA time until the next morning.

03/14/2024

And still deleting posts I didn't make from my business page.

03/14/2024

Continuing the page posts purge until the only content here is mine. This page is for my dog boarding & pet care business and my books only. The Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, looking digitally enhanced, at least for color.

Meanwhile, if you have human children still living with you and they don't clean.... sprinkle some black rice around the edges of their room.

"I just want to thank whoever posted about the mouse and black rice. I owe you big time. I'm having my house painted this week and I was sick of being mortified of my 18 yo sons room!⁣
⁣
I am awful but I texted him and told him the painter just swore he saw a mouse and there’s droppings. He comes home and he was so upset and grossed out that he cleaned his room for four hours.⁣
⁣
Leaves and texts me he is so sorry he will be mopping the floor in there and he will find it. If I wasn’t so happy and just got all my cups and spoons back I might feel a little guilty.⁣
⁣
Oh and his sister is still cleaning her room because she doesn’t want it to come in her room next.😂🤣⁣
⁣
Here’s a pic of my work- left it by the sand from his work boots and in the corner of the room and his closet.⁣
⁣
I know I’m going to hell.⁣

Redoing my pages since someone/something has be lodging content complaints. So, you can't post here and you may not be able to message. Use the phone number if you wish to discuss pet sitting or my books.

Hey there! I have books! Cheap ebooks and not-as-cheap hold-in-your-hands hardcopy! Rillan macDhai on Amazon. Free chapters available if you hit the little icon button. Action-adventure fantasy set in an alt-historical Scotland and in the Turtle Island refuges. Sympathy For the Living*, Roll the Bones*, Rogue Magick (w gay sm*t!), and my short story collection of elf punk and odd folktales: Wall of Thorns and Other Stories.* Books marked with * are safe for all ages of readers, though some things might be scary for really young readers.

I had cleared the snow off the cars yesterday... Now, you can't tell I did anything.

01/09/2024

The sneet has rapidly turned to snow, falling at about the same strength as the Saturday storm. Horses are disgusted. Heading out to start feeding everything. Photos to follow

01/08/2024

Either a large fox, a coyote, or one of the neighbors' dogs was checking my tiny farm out last night. Will add photos shortly.

01/06/2024

Birds are appreciating the filled feeders. Pictures later. Estimate 2-3 inches already

01/06/2024

Here are the horses at around 20% zoom. The black 'hill' in front is the cat (Sulu) from the previous pic. This was after only about 30-35 minutes of steady snow, we already have much more.

01/06/2024

And this is why you carry supplies for getting stuck in your car (or backpack/giant purse o'doom/shopping bags). What a difference an hour can make. Or in the case of the photos, this was about 35 minutes from snow getting serious to when I took the photos. Taken from my office window, cat for FB tax.

Walked out at noon for the mail, it was just starting to come down steadily and within 18 minutes the drive, yard, and pasture have a light coating.

01/06/2024

11:05am Eastern, a few random flakes starting to be seen.
