Sit Stay All good

For the next week I get to learn all about Joey, Mazie, and Lou. So far I have learned that Joey likes to move around the bedroom a LOT at night. I’ve also learned that Mazie has a hard time deciding if the human bed or her bed is the best place to sleep. I’ve also learned that 3:54 a.m. is the perfect time to go out to the pen for a potty. Lou (the cat) has so far been snuggly and sweet. But I hear there’s another side to her… so I’m cautiously optimistic.

I understand this is their first night with me as much as it is mine with them. We’ll figure it out.

This is a new challenge I take on for the next several days. Meet Ducky. She’s an otherwise completely healthy, happy, and energetic two year old Pibble. And a pretty blond one, at that! She gets along perfectly with her two foster brothers; Jax and Juice. Even though completely blind she plays, interacts, and behaves like any other dog.

She is looking for her forever and ever loving home. She would obviously do best in a home that has at least one other dog to show her the ropes.

Such a sweet girl she is! Fur Love Haven

As much as I adore every animal that I’m lucky to care for, there are certain ones who rise to the top. Stella, the black German Shepherd, is one of those top tier animals. She’s sweet and affectionate without being clingy. Loving without being needy. Playful without obsession. And the BEST indoor manners. On top of it all - she’s perfect with the rest of the animals on the property. From cats to chickens, as well as alpacas and goats. She sets the bar for “good dogs.” And, she’s showing Luka, the newest and youngest addition, the ropes. He has the best mentor!

Thank you Mavis and Dan for the opportunity to care for your crew and property. ❤️

Great tips on earning a dog’s trust.

You’re their “it”! (By the way, have you ever introduced yourself to your dogs? Do they even know your name?)

Oh, I’m going to need their signature! 🐾

Whenever I care for two dogs. 🤣🤣

I imagine “She seems cool and she gives great pets, scratches, plays, and walks. But, like, where’s our parents? Is she our mom now?”

Always, always, always LISTEN TO YOUR DOG! This happened not 10 minutes ago here in SW Portland. I am not afraid of coyotes, but I have a healthy respect of them.

Leo had frozen in his tracks looking up the hill just prior to this. Even though I looked carefully, and repeatedly, i missed her. Good boy, Leo.

I will take on a coyote barehanded to protect a good boy (or girl!)

Leo! The newest handsome addition to the wonderful pets entrusted to me. He’s a sweet soul with kind eyes and a fun, adventurous personality.

Today we took an extra long walk so I could bathe my eyes in the fleeting colors of fall. There’s a storm blowing in that is sure to strip the trees of their colorful leaves.

But today - they were admired and appreciated.

Is your pet .... "unique"? What qualities make them unique? Rover.com wants to hear about it!

It was a lovely evening for a power walk with Dublin. (He’s Tommy’s neighbor 😊)
