The upcoming Eclipse, and your pets.
Should you be concerned?
Even though the Phoenix area is not in the path of the total eclipse this Monday, about 64% of the sun will be obscured, starting from approximately 10:08am, and peaking at 11:20am.
Your best bet for your pets during that time is to simply keep them indoors and keep to their regular routine. The eclipse itself won't stress them - but the excitement surrounding it might. They don't need special glasses if they go out - animals don't look directly at the sun.
But YOU need glasses to see it.
Here's info on where to get glasses for free, plus some other cool event deals.

I came across this in my Memories today, from 3 years ago. Sound up, and enjoy a smile. This was during our foster days just prior to my starting this business. Happy Friday!
The Saturday start to the holiday.
I think it's going to be a purrfect long weekend!

This excessive summer heat is especially hard on our furry clients, but even more so on our brachycephalic ones (like our Boxers, Frenchies, and Bostons). That's why it really excites us when we find a toy that seems to appeal especially to them.
Voila, the Crazy Ball. Let the indoor soccer games begin!

Older dogs....new tricks.
This sweet teenaged Dachshund is one of my first clients, handed over from Kate. He had a "sister" when I first started caring for him, but she sadly passed early this year. I had never tried puzzles with the two of them, but decided to introduce Gabe to one this recent pet sit. And voila!

Cats get bored in this heat, too...so it's particularly satisfying when we can engage them with the special cat puzzles we bring...
Of course, it's worth noting - they're cats. They're almost equally enthralled with the boxes the puzzles came in (at least at first)!

Here's to keeping cool this weekend!

Keeping pets SANE in this heat is a big responsibility.
Here's a recap of some of the fun INDOOR things we did to keep this pretty girl content and happy.
Featured during our visits: Wobble Kong, Saturn Ball, Grunty Pig, Crazy Ball, and lots of belly rubs and relaxing!
We did go outdoors to play, but very early in the morning!

On Golden Pond.
A splash pad is a great way to stay cool!

Enrichment! It really defines The Pawsitive Pets Sitter -
We are delighted when clients return and ask about getting toys, games, and botanicals they've watched their pets engage with through our communication during their pet sit. We love making a "pawsitive" difference!

Work Perks Wednesday!
We love it when a new toy gets such response! The "crazy ball" isn't for everyone - a lot of dogs were initially a bit freaked out by it, or ignored it. But for the dog that really likes it.....

Saturday! Let's Play!
We have had so much fun introducing our cat clients to the Cat Dancer toy.
If you haven't tried it, check it out - so simple in design, yet the cats just love it.

Sunday Funday, and a laugh to go with it!
A boxer discovering a giggle ball. Make sure your sound is up. We (and our clients, especially the brachycephalic ones) are loving this toy!
