🐾 Meet Meelo, the newest member of the Bloomington "The Effing Sitter" family! 🐶✨ We had the pleasure of completing our complementary meet & greet a few days ago, and we couldn't be more excited to spend time with this adorable pitbull mix.

Meelo is a bundle of joy, and we can already tell we're going to have a fantastic time together. Our meet & greet went pawsitively well, and we're looking forward to providing the best care for Meelo while his family is away.

🐾 Dear "The Effing Sitter" Family 🐾

I wanted to take a moment to address the recent silence on our page.

As many of you know, I wear two hats - one as the proud owner of The Effing Sitter and the other as a dedicated teacher. When the school year started back in mid-August, my life got a little busier. Teaching is not just a job; it's a passion, and my students are always top of mind. 📚✏️

While this meant that I had to step away from our social media for a while, please know that "The Effing Sitter" has been up and running, taking care of your beloved pets, without a hiccup. 🐕🐾

I'm incredibly grateful that our wonderful clients continued to trust us with their fur babies, even during our brief social media hiatus. Your support means the world to me.

Now that things have settled into the school year routine, I'm excited to be back, sharing adorable pet stories, tips, and more with you all. Our four-legged clients bring us so much joy, and we can't wait to showcase them again.

Thank you for your understanding, your loyalty, and for being a part of our The Effing Sitter family. 🥰

Stay tuned for more pet adventures coming your way soon! 🐶❤️🐱

Warm regards,
Kody Czerwonka
Owner, The Effing Sitter.

*ADOPTED*
If you ever wonder how a dog that has lived in a home with a family for five years reacts when they are surrendered to shelter. Well....here is is. Roxie has been with us for two weeks and she still misses her family terribly. We are trying to heal her broken heart but staying at the shelter will not allow that to happen. She needs an understanding family to love her. She is deaf and not fond of other animals but loves every person she meets. She is lonely and just wants a new family. She is the best lap dog and will give you a million kisses. Please spread the word so we do not have to walk out the door every night looking at these sad eyes. It is heartbreaking to all the staff and volunteers.

Have you ever wanted to turn into a dog? Well, one man in Japan did. And he paid $14,000 to transform himself into a Rough Collie! Check out this bizarre article about Toko Ueda. The article does feature a video of Toko venturing out in public, too, so be prepared for the uncanny!

This dog knows a lot of tricks... heck, this dog IS a trick!
