Dallas Professional Pet Care

This is a hard post. I should have done it on Thursday of last week, but I kept putting it off because this post makes it real.

Grover was the best boy. He was happy and quirky. He thought he was a 90 pound Rottweiler when we met other dogs on our walks. I have zero doubt that he would have attempted to protect me at any cost. He was a triple p**per, three times on each walk. He also picked up some piece of vegetation in his beard on every walk.

On Wednesday, a day that was already filled with sadness, I got the word from his mom that he was gone, due to a massive tumor on his heart.

He is going to be so missed. And I’m not ready to accept his absence. 💔

As professional pet sitters, we aren’t supposed to have favorites. But sometimes a furry little creature works his way into your heart to stay forever. Charlie was one of those. He had diabetes, among other issues, and his glucose was never stable enough to be able to skip the glucose test. That meant 4 needle sticks every day. He was the canine version of the “get off my lawn” grumpy old man, but he also had an incredible capacity to love those who cared for him. He loved his toys and frozen green beans. He loved his parents, his brother Marshal, and his pet sitter Tiffany. Congestive heart failure wrapped its ugly tentacles around his little life and he left this earth yesterday. We were honored to be part of his life, and we are better for it. 💔

This is EXACTLY why DPPC staff is never allowed to wear any type of audio delivery system or be on their phones while working! If we’re with your pet, they are getting 100% of our undivided attention.

Today is the Nepali celebration of Kukur Tihar, dedicated to the love and friendship of dogs.

Tihar is a five-day Hindu religious and cultural festival in Nepal. The first three days (October 29th to 31th in 2024) focus on the worship of animals. In Nepali culture, it is believed that gratitude and worship shown to animals and gods will bring success and luck into people's lives.

The second day, Kukur Tihar, is for the worship of dogs, who are believed to be the guardians of the gates of heaven in Nepal. On this day, people thank all dogs, whether they are pets or strays, for their loyalty and friendship by placing a marigold garland around their necks and a red tika mark on their foreheads. Afterward, a ritual is performed for the dogs and they are treated to a large feast.

Hey friends! Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center could sure use our help. They are frighteningly low on treats. Can you hit their Amazon wish list and send a little love?

We are proud members of PSI, and are proud to have donated to this cause. If you’d like to contribute the Amazon wish list is below.

PSI members (and friends!) are THE BEST 🐾

**Be sure to check out the video in comments to see the donations that arrived to PSI President Beth Stultz-Hairston’s home this weekend.**

If you would still like to donate pet food/supplies to help western North Carolina, we'd love to have you place your order from the wish list in the next day so that we can have the bulk of the donations here by mid-week so that we can deliver later this week (donations will be taken to 2 different counties).

PSI cannot express our heartfelt gratitude enough. Thank you all 💟

Last week we met with other pet sitters and dog walkers from all over the US and Canada at the PSI conference. We attend conferences and join mastermind groups because the quality of our service depends on staying educated and up to date. Our participation improves YOUR experience!

It was a great conference. Much was learned. And I’m so ready to get back into the groove.

09/21/2024

It’s our last day. Lots more to learn before the plane heads south this afternoon!

And this is Boris. The Primate Sanctuary in Niagara Falls really could use some help with funding the building of his new habitat. Can you drop a few bucks in his fund?

PS… He’s even cuter in person
