When you think of a perfect Valentine, do you think of that someone who lights up whenever they see you? Waits for the moment you walk through the door? wants nothing more than to cuddle up on the couch with you to watch a good movie? Gives unconditional love? (Yeah, I get you). Treat your best friend on Valentine’s Day!

Don't forget to leave out an extra towel by the door today!⁠
I was happy to pick up the extra walks to help your dog release that energy (in a good way) rain or shine. ⁠
⁠
🌦️Many of my Fetching Dogs to love the rain, but I will admit that I've invested some extra steps to get a few dogs to look forward to walks in wet weather. ⁠
⁠
☔️Here are some things that help me and your dog:⁠
a. 🌈rain gear or vest⁠ (make certain that they can see)⁠
b. 🌈reflective leash or reflective tape⁠
c. a flashing light-⁠
the increased visibility helps keep us safe!⁠
d. Practice! Allow me to increase rainy day walks by a few more minutes each outing!⁠
⁠
On rainy days, I do change my routes to areas with some overhead cover and wind-blocking, so I have added these walks during dry winter days to acclimate your dog to these places to create happy, puddle-jumping pups⁠!

I was recently in Oaxaca City in October– what a beautiful & magical place. I made a point to return, especially during Day of the Dead, or Día de los Mu***os to this festive city
Just like Día de Mu***os in other parts of Mexico, Day of the Dead in Oaxaca is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. Though in reality, the celebrations start on the night of October 31st when the spirits return at midnight.
November 1st-The first day of celebrations is called Día de los Inocentes, or Day of the Innocents. This is the day to remember children that have passed. It’s believed that spirits of the angelitos (little angels) return at midnight on this day.
November 2nd – The second day of celebrations also begins at midnight. This is the day to welcome the spirits of the adults that have passed. This is generally the most festive of the days.
💀
Have any of you celebrated in Oaxaca for Día de los Mu***os? In Mexico? Does this make you think of death differently?To grieve, to reflect or heal-oneself?

Happy National FETCH DAY! October 15th 2022 is National Fetch Day, a celebration of the human-animal bond, and an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of exercise for your dog! A good game of fetch gets you and your dog some exercise, helps your dog engage and release their natural instinct to chase, and helps strengthen the bond between you and your pet. Overall, fetch is more than just a game. The memories created and the time spent with your dog is a reward. 🐕‍🦺❤️🐕‍🦺How did you spend the day with your dog?
🐶
, a game of FETCH and PHOTOS to capture those memories are my jam. I help dog-moms & dog-dads exercise their pets on week days when they can't be there themselves.

Here is something to start your weekend!

Happy Fourth, pet friends!
If you are like me, you love to have your pet be your plus one at a party...except this one.🧨🧨❤🐕. Here are a few tips to keep it fun for them:
🐕
1. Let them hide out in their happy place...and chill.🐶
🎇
Since the day's pyrotechnics can promote anxiety and stress, put on a tv show or the radio for white noise;
🎆
2. Give them something to do: give them them a stuffed food puzzle or kong.❤🐕
🐕
3. Make sure that they have ID and/ or updated microchip
🐕
4. Get out your arsenal of calming aids (thundershirt, Adaptil, chamomile chews).
🐕
5. Keep them away from the BBQ!
Resist those puppy dog- eyes around the grill and refuse to give them leftovers.

High fat or salty foods can bring on painful GI problems. AND foods and drinks like chocolate, avocado, and alcohol can be toxic to dogs.
☕🍾🍷🍺🍫
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

We hope you are having a ball this weekend!

Happy Easter!
How are you spending the holiday with your dog?

Ever had an egg hunt for your dog? Fill some empty egg cartons with dog treats and let your dog sniff out the snacks. You can also use empty muffin tin and cover treats with toy balls (Fetching dogs have lots of balls around) or cardboard boxes- put some treats inside and encourage your dog to find and eat the doggo snacks...
And, of course, send me a picture!

one ever!

How did you handle losing an extra hour of sleep?

Some pets have a strong internal clock and are highly schedule oriented, but most respond to human cues (owners getting out of bed, putting on shoes). Do your best to keep up your pet's routine for walks, play time and feeding.

For those that felt the struggle this weekend, thank you for contacting . I was happy to pick up the extra walks!

Thank you to our clients, past and present, for helping make my holiday a happy one! Your support of my small business means everything to me! Without you, I wouldn't be able to help dog lovers like you give the best care to your furry friend while you are away. Thank you for your continued support. I wish you and yours a very happy holiday and a Happy New Year!
