Are you kitten me right meow?? It’s a kitty-purrito. (Excuse the crazy hair) wow… I’m looking terrible.
Today, my favorite service that I provide was time with Barbie.Barbie loves to go on car rides and wonder around. It was way too hot to go to the park. I decided to take her to Publix. Why Publix you might ask?!?!?✅people are always nice at Publix💨 unlimited air-conditioning🚶 Even floors and no trip hazards.🍊 Barbie loves fruit so I knew we could buy her a treat.Barbie ate her way around Publix. Samples from the deli, free cookie from the bakery, free orange from produce. The staff were so kind. The manager in the bakery engaged Barbie in conversations while he was decorating a cake. The cashier was so kind and very patient when Barbie was picking her items up.Thanks Publix for being so kind to Barbie today!
My pup, Bri went to a pool party last weekend. She injured almost all her toenails.
She was having the time of her life and she ground her nails down to the quick.
It’s been traumatic. She has been uncomfortable.
Here is a video to show you the trauma. If you zoom in, you should NOT see the little circles on each nail. 😔
This was a very hard lesson for us to learn.
Sharing to inform you all that can under that even with the best intentions accidents happen. And it’s okay to not be perfect.
This morning was amazing. I just finished a 13 night, overnight stay at a clients home. I got to have a slow morning drinking my coffee and playing with my pup.Overnights are hard. It really annoys me when society discounts how difficult this service is to clients.Here are a few examples;🛌 sleeping in your own bed is always better quality sleep.💤 you literally hear every bump in the night.☕️ NOT having routine items like your morning coffee. 🥗🥪🍕🍔missing family meals is hard🔐 always being concerned about the wellbeing of someone else’s home and their prize possessions.🐈🐈🐕 your own animals at home get off schedule and lonely Overnights are also incredibly rewarding: 🙏🏻 when clients provide words of affirmation.👀 watching them, enjoy life and make memories with their families.❤️ the messages when they get home of how thankful they are. Have you ever considered overnight care for your pets and home??
Did you know that our business offers transportation to veterinary and grooming appointments ??
Brie had the pleasure of taking a water fitness class from Dip'n Dogs Canine Hydrotherapy.
What cat litter do you use?
Have you tried Hard ball??
I love laying on the floor with my clients.
Sunday has all of us spinning!
Some days you’re just chasing your tail…
Lucy got a gift today.
Lucy is adjusting nicely. She is still antisocial. And that’s okay. She is happy. She stays out on her windowsill 90% of the time. She watches the other cats play and socialize. She does not mind Brie coming in to visit.
Adding a new pet to any home is hard. Knowing how to properly acclimate the change is important.
Lucy and I are thankful to those who show us kindness and care.
Update on Lucy.
Yesterday something unexpected happened, and I let it flow very organically.
While I was in the cat room visiting Lucy, Brie opened the door and allowed the entire gang into the room.
First thought.. OH NO!!!! But it was very good. I grabbed Cheddar and wrapped him in a blanket. Remember, cats have claws… very sharp claws. Swaddling a cat in a blanket will help protect everyone involved.
Lucy, she stayed on her perch. She did not hiss, she did not growl, her hair on her back stayed relaxed.
Zola, was super happy to be in the room. He loves this room so he went straight for the extra food and the window perch.
Brie, did NOT bark. Did not chase and was happy to just be hanging out.
Cheddar, as a typical teenager, he had lots to say and attitude.
Zola, Lucy and I stayed in the room together for 9 minutes. It was very good!!
Tonight, Zola and I will visit Lucy for 15 minutes. Remember friends…. It takes a long time to acclimate any new pet to a new environment.
Morning time with Lucy this morning.
Overnight, Lucy ate a lot of her food and used her litter box several times!! Yay.
When I gave her her medicine this morning, I was able to swaddle her and hold her for about 20 mins. We had some unexpected visitors, lol they sit outside the door the whole time I’m in with Lucy…. Their first look went very well!!
When I opened Casselberry Pet Lady, I had NO clue where my passion would lead me.
Fun fact… I worked for a local hospice company for 13 years. I was damn good and patient care. I injured my back and “retired” my stethoscope.
Recently, I started servicing clients who live in ALF’s. Never in my wildest dreams would I know that this adventure would fill my heart so much.
Today while I visited Ms Judy and her kitty, I enjoyed lunch and a live jazz band. Ms. Judy has Alzheimer’s and It really warms my heart to see her happy and healthy.
Enjoy our silliness today.
