Tonight, on the 7th anniversary of starting my business, after *seven* incredible years of pet sitting for THE best clients EVER, I've decided to retire in 2025, after the holidays.

I've decided to concentrate on ME for a while, and try to get my health under control. I can't begin to tell you how much I've enjoyed working with you all and your pets. Your loyalty and support of me and my business, especially through the difficult Covid years, have meant more than you'll ever know, and I will truly miss you and your pets. Thank you for seven wonderful years!!

😢😢😢😡

"I died today.
I was found by a kind, sweet woman who does wildlife rescue.
I was so sick, I could barely open my eyes.
She took me inside, cradling me in her warm arms, and made me warm and comfortable.
I opened my eyes and looked at her and thanked her for making my last few minutes as comfortable as possible.
But I was too sick to keep fighting anymore.
I had eaten a mouse that was poisoned, and it made me very sick.
I closed my yellow eyes for the last time and went somewhere else.
Please, all I ask is never use poison to kill the mice.
Poison kills owls, like me.
All I wanted was a mouse for dinner.

Stop the use of poison for rats or mice.
Live traps are the best to use. Catch and release.
It only takes one share to spread the word."

Tissue alert!

A poem from a pound dog….

Today is the day that I shall die
My life was short and I don't know why
I don't yet know that this will be my fate
the humans just stood there at my gate

And in their eyes I saw their sorrow
They told me I had no more time to borrow
My 7 days have been and gone
I'm yet to know what I've done wrong

I greeted the humans with a waggling tail
But with their resolved seemed to fail
I did not understand why they cried
They told me again that they had tried

But rescues are full and I'm on death row
and this meant that I had nowhere to go
Except from that room at the end of the block
It was only then that I took stock

I've seen others go in and never come out
And it was at this point that I had no doubt
Today was the day that I would die
And yet I still did not understand why

As they lead me kindly into that room
I knew my life would be over soon
The needle comes out and the drugs take effect
The humans hold me kindly with respect

This is the end I'm going to die
and then suddenly I understood why
I was bred without a care, without thought or reason
Only because my mum came into season

I was bred to be sold, bred for money
At first my new family thought my antics were funny
but as the days past by and the bigger I grew
Left home alone all day I began to chew

Soon they said this is not the place for me
so up went my ad onto Gumtree
Family dog free to a good home
Five months old and no fault of her own

Next the place was even less fun
Kept in a cage with no hope of a run
soon came the day of my first season
And now I was the one bred without reason

My pups were soon sold and I was alone
I really hope they have all found a loving home
Shut up in a cage alone and in the dark
For hours on end, I would just bark

Once again I became too much trouble
so up went my ad on gumtree
the double work commitments forces sale
Only 10months old its a familiar tale

The next people seemed nice at first
But it was not long before the bubble burst
In this place I was trained to fight
But they gave up on that as I refused to bite

They spoke to me as I was taken back to the crate
If you won't fight we'll use you as bait
I was chained to a post by my collar
When other dogs attacked I would holler

this life went on like this for quite some time
But I was soon told I was past my prime
I thought we might have been going for a walk
Yet in the car was no talk
​
And slowly the car came to a halt
I was thrown out the door with a jolt
I stood and watch as the car speed away
It was cold and dark and I had nowhere to stay

It was by this road that I was eventually found
And was taken away by the local pound
And here I lie as I take my last breath
I have one thing to ask as I accept my death
