One of the things I love about my professional pet sitting business is that it keeps me out in nature.
I got to see a couple of groundhogs today. There were three – but the third was camera shy.

Be open to change.
Be open to trying new things.
Be open to doing things a new way.
Change helps your soul grow.

Luckily the pups on this week were let outs except for one walk today!
In this extreme weather, you have to be very cautious.
Their regular walks go right out the window. It is literally taking them out, trying to avoid the peak heat times.
Take advantage of early morning or evening to get them on a longer walk.
When it is this hot animals don’t want to be out anyway. Their instincts keep them alive and safe.
Dogs are very prone to heat stroke, because they cannot cool their bodies the way that humans do which is through sweating.
Dogs sweat through their nose, their paw pads and their bellies.
They cannot dissipate the heat quickly enough.
Their normal body temperature is 101-102.5. See the difference? Humans are 98.6 and sweat profusely to cool the body down.
Also make sure the temperature in your house is cool enough to cool them down after they come in from outside.
You should not be trying to conserve on air conditioner costs on days like this.
Fans, ceiling or floor, help with air circulation which is very necessary for dogs.
Keep your dogs cool.

Twice in the past month I have found someone’s wallet.
Two wallets at different times, both while on walks with dogs for my pet sitting business.
The first time I searched extensively for the person online as all the information was in the wallet.
After my search and from the contents, I knew the name, address, occupation, but COULD NOT find a phone number!
I scoured online record searches to no avail.
With a call to a very unhelpful management office, I asked them to contact the person and gave my number for the person to call me. I awaited the phone call while I was en route to other pet sitting jobs. I received one shortly after.
The person was not aware they had dropped their wallet. I arranged to meet them back at their development later that day.
This person was beyond grateful.
They felt they must do something in return for me.
I told them to “pay it forward”…
Do something nice for someone else- but was this really “nice” of me or was this just being a decent human being?
“Do something nice for someone else and we’ll be even.”
The second time I had seen what appeared to be (and was) a high school student walk by after school, while I was walking a different dog.
I deduced that this student must live close to where I had seen them and knocked on a couple doors and with the picture ID matching I handed them their wallet.
My question for everyone is- do you need a reward to do something that is considered to be a good deed, or nice for a complete stranger?
We all live the way our internal moral compass tells us to. I am hoping that there are more people who feel and think the way I do out there than otherwise.
Never think twice to do something nice for someone. Even if that someone is a complete stranger.

Never think twice about doing something kind for someone.
