Off leash class graduation ♡ can't wait to continue your training and see where the wind takes you next. These dogs have been so rewarding to watch as they literally grow up into well behaved and well trained adult dogs. ♡

Missing a but maybe we can get him photoshopped in there..

When you're told you're getting a "lab puppy," but a few weeks later she's bigger than an adult lab and you learn you've actually got yourself a 😆

Porter! Coming to and then to tire out your dog in the very near future. Is he not the cutest thing you've seen in a while?

In the last 2 weeks I have heard about:

■ 4 (4!!) dogs dying while actually in the care of a local day care facility

■ another dog dying within 2 hours of being picked up from a different day care facility

■ an elderly dog boarded (by a professional who was paid for this service) that decided it would be OK to leave the dog loose in their (the sitter's) house while they left the house for the day, not even crated (first question: why!?), and scheduled a separate dog walker come to walk the dog while she was gone (second question: WHY?) and while the walker entered the home, the dog slipped right by them in the doorway and was lost long enough to have a search party/flyers/circulated posts etc. Why?

■a young, inexperienced, (untrained) dog being taken on an off-leash hike into the woods with 6 other "seasoned" dogs, on their first outing with this walker, only to be ganged up on and badly chewed up by 4 of the 6 dogs when they all chased a ground hog through a fence and took their frustrations out on the new guy, to then promptly being "removed from their client list due to antagonistic behavior" by the walker (um- what?)

■ This exact question being posted in one of the groups I'm in as I type this post: "Question: Do you tell your client if their dog ran away but was caught and back in less than 30 minutes? I’m a small home based business and a clients dog got out on me. From the time he got out to back in my care was less than 30 minutes. (Here's the part that makes me ask WHY!?) 🥴➡️️He is a flight risk when scared, I was made aware of this. ️ But he got spooked and ran right through my deck screen door. ⬅️ (Wtf? Why was this even possible if you👏were👏made👏aware?) My partner and I are divided if we should tell them or not. Advice?"

It is getting near impossible for people to know who they can trust with their dogs. Anyone with a f***y pack and a p**p bag holder can sign up on Rover, with no experience needed, and no real vetting process, use AI to write something that sounds smart enough on a website full of pre-written reviews and say the magic word... 👈😎👉 "Certified," 👈😎👉 and the average person will not be able to tell if they have a clue when it comes to safety or if they can responsibly care for their dog.

Alternatively.. they can accept as many dogs per day as possible into their daycare programs, so that they can afford a nice enough facility to give the 💭🪄illlluuusssioon✨️🧙‍♂️️ of a well oiled machine, as long as the dog/human ratio is so imbalanced that they literally don't notice if one is missing (Because it died. THIS IS LITERALLY A THING THAT HAPPENED -LOCALLY- TO A BULLDOG PUPPY).

Sticking feathers up your... well you know the rest of that quote.

What is actually happening? Where are all these (well intentioned but completely ill-informed) people coming from and who is telling them they should start a company in the pet care industry when they have never even worked in it? Let alone under someone else's guidance?

For F's sake you guys.

Why are these people in such a hurry to lead the way when they've never even been led themselves?!

It hurts my heart y'all. And there's not s**t I can do about it. Not s**t anyone can do about it. Makes ya wanna throw in the towel some days.

(I could never... to be clear. But at times it sure does make me want to.)
