In The Dog's House

12/06/2024

📸 I apologize in advance for all the photos, but due to Thanksgiving, I did not do a week in review last week and I promised to share them all with you this week. So here are 2 weeks worth of photos! And I have some videos I'll post in the comments as well.

🐾 Last week I had a series of Overnights with Jax, Duke & Jerry. It always does wonders for my soul to spend time with these three! 💖

🐈‍⬛ I also started on Thanksgiving Day and through this past Monday with a series of Drop In's on Pearl & Onyx. These two are some of the sweetest, friendliest kitties that I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know! 🥰

🦮 I had 2 chilly walks with Bentley this week. Bentley (with the assistance of his owners 😉) was sweet enough to leave me some delicious cookies! 😋

🐕‍🦺 I had 1 walk and 1 Drop In with Lily & Max. I'm so grateful that their mama is entirely okay with me adjusting their visits from walks to Drop In's as I see fit. ❄️ With the rough weather we had on Thursday, I felt it was safer for everyone to complete a Drop In instead of a walk. And Lily & Max did not seem to mind as they got to play in the snow!

🐕 And last, but certainly not least, I had a Drop In on Kona & Triton. They ran around and played some ball in the snow before we went inside where Bella had to say "hello".

🙏 It has been a nutty couple of weeks and I truly appreciate all of my clients working with me when I've had to make schedule changes or cancelations. You all are the best and I cannot thank you enough!!!

💚 I hope we can all have a wonderful weekend!!!

🌬❄️ Bundled up for walks and drop In's today. I'm cutting outside time with your fur babies a little shorter for the day and spending some time indoors giving them lots of love.

💖 Stay warm, everyone!

🐾 With Thanksgiving this week, I decided to take a little break from social media for a few days. My week in review next Friday will just include this past week as well.

🏡 However, I wanted to share these adorable photos with y'all! As a pet sitter, I often get asked who takes care of my pets when Cody and I are away on Overnights. 🐶 The answer is Lola usually goes to spend time with her sister, Happy, at my mom's house. 🐈🐈 And Athena & Freya stay home and get looked in on by my mother-in-law.

💖 Between Overnights & hunting, we had not been home since last Sunday. We finally got back yesterday afternoon and apparently the three of them missed each other since they had to get snuggle time in 🥺. I guess Cody & I were also missed since I woke up to all three in bed with us this morning! 🥰

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving!!! I know quite a few people having a hard time with life right now. So I simply ask that you all count your blessings and find something to be thankful for. 🙏

🙃 It ended up being a nutty week personally so I'm grateful that it ended up being a lighter week professionally.

🐾 Here is my week in review:

🐈‍⬛ I started last Friday and right through the beginning of this week with a series of Drop In's on Bella while her fur brothers, Kona & Triton, got to go on vacation.

🐕 I had one Walk with Bentley and we got to enjoy the beautiful weather before Mother Nature came knocking on the door.

🐕‍🦺 I had one Walk with Lily & Max. These two are always excited to see me and know how to make a girl feel loved 🥰.

🤎 Make the most out of this last weekend before Thanksgiving! My new week starts Sunday!

⚠️ Just a quick PSA...
I know it's November, but with such dry & mild weather, the ticks are still running rampant. Please do your due diligence and check yourselves, your kids and your pets. Just since Saturday, I've pulled 2 off of Lola and I heard my 4 year old niece had one on her.

🧫 I'm not sure how many people are aware of this program that East Stroudsburg University runs, but if you have concerns, check out their website at ticklab.org. They tell you how to remove an embedded tick and how to mail it in for FREE testing to make sure it's not carrying diseases such as Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If it will give you peace of mind, I say send it in. You can never be too careful!

🎅 Pictures with Santa opportunity...

We hope to see you all there!

🌕 I think we've all had those days when we know there's a full moon. 🤯 I don't know about y'all, but personally I feel like I've had a full moon week! 🙏Thankfully, all of your fur babies helped to keep me sane!

🐾 Here is my week in review:

😴 Starting last Wednesday, I had a 4 night stretch of Overnights with Jax, Duke & Jerry
🦮 I had 2 Walks with Bentley
🐕 I had a Drop In on Kona & Triton
🐕‍🦺 And I had 1 Walk and 1 Drop In on Lily & Max

✨️ A new week has already begun for me as I have a series of Drop In's through the weekend.

💖 I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

🐾 I am currently in the middle of Overnights, which you will hear about next week. In the meantime, here is the rest of my week in review:

🐕 I had a Drop In on Kona & Triton
🦮 I had one Walk with Bentley
🐕‍🦺 And I had one Walk with Lily & Max

🌧 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Get outside and do a rain dance!😅 We sure need all the help we can get! 🙏

🐾 It was a little lighter of a week, but enjoyable nonetheless! This beautiful Fall weather we're having certainly helps as well. Here is my week in review:

🐕 I had a Drop In with Kona & Triton
🦮 I had one Walk with Bentley
🐶 A Drop In on Charlie
🐕‍🦺 And 2 Walks with Lily & Max

✨️ Just a friendly reminder that I will be unavailable tomorrow (Saturday) as I have a wedding to attend.

🍂 I hope you all enjoy this beautiful first weekend of November!

🖤 This is as dressed up as I get for Halloween...wearing my Cruella de Vil shirt to my clients' houses! 🤣

🎃 Happy Howl-oween!!! 🎃

🐈‍⬛ Happy National Cat Day to some of my favorite felines! 🐈

10/28/2024

🆓️ to anyone who may need them...

🐶 I have a client who is looking to pass on these two TUG brand retractable leashes to anyone who may be in need of them. I am personally not a fan of retractable leashes, but to each their own. Please let me know if you'd be interested in one or both and I can get them for you.

🙏 It was another week that you guys kept me busy! I appreciate it more than you know! 💜

🐾 Here is my week in review:

🐈 I had Drop In's with Grace from last Saturday through Thursday. She's a sweetheart that loves to play!

🐕 2 Drop In's with Kona & Triton and I discovered just how much they love fetch! 🐈‍⬛ I also got to say hello to Miss Bella on one visit!

🦮 2 Walks with Bentley who is doing great at focusing on me & tuning out distractions!

🐕‍🦺 1 Drop In and 1 Walk with Lily & Max. These two make me laugh & smile even on my hardest days!

🐶 And 1 Drop In on Charlie who was struggling a little bit this week with his arthritis, but still seemed happy to see me!

🧡 I'm excited for my first whole weekend off since the middle of September! I hope you all have an amazing weekend and if it's not, try to change it!

10/18/2024

🙃 It's been a very busy 2 weeks! Today is my first day off since I got back from my mini honeymoon on October 1st.

🐾 Here is my week in review that also finally includes a series of Drop In's that I've had since October 5th!

🐈‍⬛ From 10/5-10/14 I had Drop In's on Pearl & Onyx. I may have found a new hairstylist in Pearl! 🤣

🐐 Last weekend I also had a series of Drop In's on Luna, a fainting goat, and her kitty companions. Cody came with a few times and Luna would play hide & seek with him! 😍

🐕‍🦺 I had my 2 walks with Lily & Max. Both days were a bit brisk, but at least the sun was shining. And the love these two show me, makes it all worth it! 🥰

🐕 I also had 1 walk with Bentley. I found out that Bentley is not a fan of Halloween decorations. Every time the wind made something move, he would get skittish. I'm lucky I caught the picture that I did! 🎃

🐶 And last but certainly not least, I had a Drop In on Charlie who was much more cooperative this visit. Usually it is a struggle to get his harness and leash on because he does not like it. He can be a bit dramatic some days! 😅

🐈🐈 Cody & I also welcomed into our home & hearts 2 kittens we've names Athena & Freya. They get along beautifully with Lola. And while they can be little stinkers (like any typical kitten is), they are absolute lovebugs!! 💖

🍁 A new week starts tomorrow for me! Be sure to get out this weekend and enjoy the wonderful milder weather we will be having!

😭 I'm not sure how much more I can take. I received word of another loss to the In The Dog's House family. 🌈 Sheldon crossed the rainbow bridge today. I know the last few visits I had with him, he had been dealing with some medical struggles and unfortunately his little body couldn't take any more. Each day he had lived since his diagnosis, was a precious gift. 💝

🐶 I had the privilege of getting to know Sheldon for the last year and a half. He certainly had a one-of-a-kind personality! He was very set in his routines. And while he might have barked his head off sometimes when I came for Drop In's, he also hated to see me leave. I think he just liked having the company.

🫂 My condolences to Sheldon's family. May it give you some comfort that his body is no longer fighting and he's in a much better place. Rest easy, Sheldon.🐾

😭 I won't sugarcoat it. This is the part of my job that sucks the absolute most. Even as I write this, my heart is aching 💔. I received word that another member of the In The Dog's House family crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday.

Maggie was one of the sweetest girls I knew. She was always happy to see you and receive your attention and always up for a good cuddle session 🥰. But Maggie also had a spunky side. The biggest personality in the tiniest of bodies, she let everyone, human and animal alike, know who was boss 😂. When she met Cody, she very quickly wrapped him around her little paws 🐾.

🌈 To know her was to love her! Maggie, I know you're in a much better place, but you will be sorely missed here by so many. And even with your fur brothers there, I'm sure the house will feel a little emptier the next time I'm there. To Maggie's family, know that I am grieving with you and for you. I hope these photos bring you some comfort. You are all in my thoughts & prayers.🙏

❤️‍🩹 Everyone, hug your fur babies a little tighter for me!
