If I was laying on the couch imagine me being being under him, that what he does everyday, me sleeping is almost impossible but I'm getting used to it.

Chuck is obviously big but I like how the cat I'm caring for who still needs a home, gets an armrest to lay on, Chuck gets the rest.

How can anyone say no to those beautiful green eyes. She's a really good kitty, it took her a couple of days to trust me but once I gained her trust she follows me everywhere. If you could foster her great!!! If you are interested in adopting her even better, if so to either scenario please contact me at 712-828-2126.

I've been left with this kitty that I call Metamucil but who's real name is Amethyst, it's harder to spell than say. Regardless I'm looking for someone to foster this kitty until I can find a forever home for the poor th...

The things we do for love. I'm not a veterinarian although I get plenty of calls from people asking me for help and I always do thanks to my friends and employees. You couldn't ask for a better group of people that think alike when it comes to animals. For those that believe in reincarnation, that could be you in the next life and someone reached out to help you. Help when you can and if you can't call someone who can and will.

Just a few weeks old, this poor kitten was attacked by another animal, it could have been a gerbil for all I know, regardless, some kind people called me and asked if I can help so Keianna and I went to help. We took the...

We all know Thanksgiving week is starting soon, if you need a pet care giver I am booking fast and am almost full, so if you would like me to care for your pet you might want to contact me ASAP.

Chuck has slept in his own bed one time since I've had it, any number of dogs and cats have slept in his more than he has, but then again he gets either my couch or my bed so I think everyone's fine.

Chuck isn't picky, he know where he wants to sleep, it's either with me on the couch (more like on top of me), in bed with me or next to me on the floor when it's hot out. If I could just get him to listen to me every now and then he'd be perfect. Yeah.

That is the third bed I have bought Chuck and he won't sleep in a single one of them. Taylor on the other hand sleeps in all of them. It's hard to please a dog when they get everything they want before they know they wa...

09/14/2023

Oliver spends about the same amount of time that Chuck does throughout the day which is sleeping off and on most of the day. What do you expect from a 16 year old, they sleep all day after being out all night.

This guys name is Oliver, his owner is also Murray's owner. Oliver came by to visit last night getting ready for his 16th birthday in 4 days. Just hearing that makes me want to take a nap.

I have a Brittany Spaniel staying with me over the Labor Day weekend, he's a good boy but he likes sleeping with me to so there's no room on the bed for all three of us, that doesn't even include the cat who joins in during the night.

I'm trying to persuade Chuck to sleep somewhere besides in the bed with me or on the couch with me so I bought him a memory foam do***ng mattress. He hasn't laid on it once, the cat sure loves it though.

08/21/2023

While I'm still going to be incapacitated for another 10-14 days I will be able to care for your pet/pets this upcoming Labor Day weekend. I wouldn't suggest waiting till the last minute to book a reservation, it's the last summer holiday of the year and I currently have two spots booked now.

I went into surgery about 4pm and didn't get into my room till Midnight, surprise I made it!

I've found over the years I'm not the only procrastinator when it comes to making plans, I usually do things by impulse or spur of the moment but when you have a pet that doesn't always work out to well. Don't be unable to enjoy your weekend because you don't have someone to care for your pet. Contact me

While I may not be able to care for you puppies on Labor Day weekend I still have Richard available to help. I should know more this weekend if I'm going to be able to care for anything more than a gerbil by then.

08/13/2023

Gizzy is a good cat, she does have issues with other cats, at least since I've been caring for her. Dogs she gets along with fine, but then other cats not so much. I'd rather try and find a home for her rather than someone having to paying the animal shelter to adopt her but it may come down to that regardless. Contact me if you are interested.

I've been caring for this cat (Gizzy) for over a month and the owner has decided to have me try to find a home for it, if you are interested or know someone who is interested, she's available for adoption so just call or...

08/07/2023

I neglected to inform everyone I have my first employee and he's been with me for a couple of months now and he's working out great. So don't hesitate to call me if you need help while I'm laid up as I will still be scheduling bookings for Richard while I'm out.

I've only been caring for these two for 26 hours, it feels like 3 or 4 days. I'll be glad when the owner gets back into town today to pick them up. I'm a very patient person when it comes to animals but I don't have pa...

08/07/2023

After this coming week it will be time for a break for me due to an upcoming surgery. I could be out between 2 weeks to 3 months, it will all depend on how the surgery goes and my recovery, this is no simple surgery I'm having keep your fingers crossed.

I've had medium size dogs jump up on my counter before but never a small dog, so it's a new first. The kicker is when she wants up on the couch she wants help, the couch isn't nearly as tall as that counter top.

07/23/2023

It's a first for me, 4 dogs and 3 cats all at the same time and they all get along together. Who knew. I must be doing something right for that to happen.

It may not look like it in the picture but Chuck (Great Pyrenees) is quite bigger than the German Shepherd. I actually had 4 dogs but the other one wouldn't cooperate and get into the picture.

07/21/2023

Chuck hasn't met a person he doesn't love unless they are aggressive towards me then all bets are off. But he loves going down to the 100 block and it doesn't have to be during the Bikes on the Block night, any day he can get petted he's all for it.

Chuck loves nothing more than being petted and he gets plenty of that when the Bikes on 100 Block is happening.

07/18/2023

It doesn't help matters any when you have two cats here either, they start talking back and forth with each other and of course they are in separate rooms so they have to be loud to hear each other.

I'm caring for Gizzy for a month or so, little did I know that every morning around 3am - 5am he is talking and he is not quiet about it. I rode the elevator last night to my floor and I could hear him meowing before the...

Chuck just looks at me when I talk to him the same way, no tilting of the head like he's curious what I'm saying, it's more the leave me alone, I'm trying to get in my third 6 hour nap for the day

The picture on the left is her saying, don't talk to me I'm ignoring you, the one on the right is her saying, what part of I'm ignoring you don't you understand (with utter the disgust look on her face)

Another day in paradise, which is where I'm going in two weeks to Clearwater Beach. Actually it will probably feel the same as here but at least they have a beach.

I finally got back into my Facebook account no thanks to them. These two were out, after a short walk on a hot day, I can't even get in my bed with two small dogs let alone the moose I adopted.

I don't care what you say about Facebook, they still suck.

Did anyone go to Matchbox 20 and were disappointed in the concert. I waited 3 years for those guys to make there appearance and what do they play the majority of the, there new album. I think I heard 4 songs I recognized. It wasn't worth the wait for me.

It's been to long ago since I've posted anything, but it's been extremely busy, my phone went kaput, and my PC died, both on the same day, one would say that's enough bad luck for a month, not even close. I've supposed ...

05/19/2023

Due to major surgery I will have coming up in June, I may not be available until hopefully sometime in July. I'll know more the last week of June after some exploratory surgery, regardless all I can tell you is to call or text me to see if I'm able to care for your pets, I will if I can.

I apologize to anyone and everyone that tried to contact me yesterday and today but my phone decided to stop working and I won't have a new one till tomorrow, sorry.

I've never seen a cat that gets along with every dog he comes across, but Widget seems to, at least to a point.

I'll have to do some searching tonight to see where this posted, it could be interesting. What else do I have to do, I have a couple of ideas but play time can wait.

Why do hackers have to jack around with just plain old everyday people. They did some damage to me this time, they got into my website and had redirected visitors to somewhere else, they hacked my Facebook account and F...

I wouldn't exactly call Chuck lazy, but that boy loves him a good nap or 3 a day. Not much for walking to far either, around the block and he's leading back home. I'm going to have to leave him at home if I want to get my miles in for walking. He started out so strong, we were doing over 5 miles a day, now I'm lucky to get 5 blocks out of him. Maybe he's just pacing himself.

You couldn't ask for a better dog than Chuck, he absolutely loves people and wants to meet everyone, he's super chill when pets come over that I am caring for, the cat adores him. We are walking a little over 6 miles a day, I wonder why the ambulances seem to leave the station and are seemingly always following me :)

Chuck is so chill. I am taking care of Widget the cat and Miley the Shih Tzu Mixed for the weekend, these 3 have never met before but they act like they are best friends. Obviously I slept on the couch, again, self infli...

There's going to be a permanent member of the crew next week, a gentle giant, by giant I mean a Great Pyrenees. I so enjoyed caring for one before I went to Biloxi I had to have one. He is so sweet, he wouldn't hurt a baby rabbit so it will be business as usual, just know that I'll have a dog there with me at all times.

This is Cooper he may look like he's resting, he is only 5 months old, yet in reality he is gnawing on a bone because that puppy doesn't rest, at least not around me.

Eric's brother has asked me to come down to Biloxi again, this time to take Eric's two person kayak out into the Gulf of Mexico with him to spread Eric's ashes. That boy loved kayaking. If you see a GoFundMe account in my name it is legit. I can't afford to keep flying down and back and generate income at the same time but it's also impossible for me to say no.

That is a picture of my nephew who I was going down to take care of on my move to Biloxi, MS which is not going to happen now. Obviously he was in good health in the picture, but to die a week before I made it down ther...

Life just sucks the life right out of me. Yet as Captain Dan said in the movie Forrest Gump to no one in particular, "Is that all you got"?

My move has been cancelled due to the death of my nephew who I was moving to take care of. It will not be going back to business as usual anymore, I am raising my price for boarding and other announcements coming soon. ...

I've got 8 more days here in paradise or as we call it Council Tuckey. I've only gotten 3 things accomplished and only one has to do with packing, I've got all of my fishing tackle packed. A man has to have priorities in life, especially when you've used up two-thirds of it.

I think I've been caring for these two for a month, I lied, but it seems like a month. Cadence is the best dog, she listens and obeys well, walks right next to me, (even without the leash) mild mannered, just a great dog...

This poor guy, whose name is Stud, was in Montana with his owner and they both heard rustling in the bushes up ahead of them, the owner thought it was a bear and Stud took off after hearing the rustling.

03/09/2023

Change is never easy and sometimes you don't have an option, which I don't this time. I wasn't always there for my family as I had the horrible habit of thinking only about myself after my mother passed away. I owe it to what's left of my family and myself, to do the right thing for others for once and not for myself.

I will miss you all dearly and thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to help you by caring for your pets when you needed it and I needed them just as much to get me through everyday life.

And especially to Adam and Tiffany for letting me borrow Murray when I needed some puppy loving for my mental health. I'll miss you all.

Lastly to my best friend Rick who passed away to soon, I love you dude

The kitty is Taco and Cadence is her friend, this is how they took the news that I am relocating to Biloxi, MS. I feel the same way but my family down there needs my help and asked for it and I can't say no. This, God w...
