You know you're a pet sitter when you're wearing cargo pants and feel something in the thigh pocket, only to realize you put them through the wash with dog treats in the pocket! 😆😳😆😳😆😳

Having cats and a China cabinet means having to do periodic toy retrievals. These are the treasures I unearthed today, including six of Carolina's hair rollers (😆😆😆).

Absolutely ridiculous, especially in a city the size of New York. This not only hurts sitters, many of whom probably sit as a second job in order to afford the astronomical cost of living, but it hurts pet owners and pets. Boarding can be prohibitively expensive and incredibly stressful on pets. And in New York City, where many people don't own cars, how are pets supposed to be transported to and from boarding facilities? People with demanding careers can be required to travel for work with little notice, what happens if they can't find an affordable, convenient boarding facility with room? What about veterinary offices and boarding places that are going to have to drop money expanding their facilities, or lose money turning away customers because they don't have the capacity to keep up with the demand?

The only entity benefitting from this arrangement is the government, and usually when the government wins, people and small businesses lose.

What do you think about this?

SO SWEET! Grayce, a once neglected pitbull, gently placed all 11 of her tiny puppies in her foster mom's lap before getting some much needed TLC herself: http://bit.ly/2jkf0Xl

Smile if you have the privilege!

Dogs will always be our most loyal best friends.

As a pet sitter, it's hard to believe that I don't respect - or at least tolerate - all God's creatures, but seriously, mosquitoes can suck it. 😡👎

You know how I know I'm a teacher's kid? All 3 dogs just started fighting over a toy and barking all at once and I just caught myself saying "HEY! Use your inside voices!" 😆😆😆

Pet sitter fail: playing catch with your dog and throwing it wicked far and you're like "YEAAHHHHHHHH IM TOM FRIGGIN BRADY, B****!" Then you realize the ball is in the neighbor's yard and the dog is not happy with you. 😳

People Are Wrapping Scarves Around Their Dogs And It Actually Has A Big Impact

Maybe this is why I favor wrap sweaters?!? LOL but seriously...simple way to calm a dog, kinda like a poor man's ThunderShirt. Give it a try!

More and more owners are doing it.

I never know if it's thunder I hear, or if my cats are running around on the 2nd floor with a case of the zoomies!!! 😆😆😆😆

Ohhhh, our poor starving doggies who never get any food or any love or any belly rubs 😆😆😆😆😆

But I don't want organic dog food for sensitive stomachs, I want grease and salt!

I got to meet this amazing celebrity dog when I lived in Boston. She saved her mom from being hit by a train and lost a leg in the process, and she then became a breed ambassador to show people how amazing pit bulls can be and reduce negative stereotypes about the breed. Here are some of Lilly's tips for guardians of 3-legged dogs!

Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts from my last post when I told you something was wrong with my leg ❤ and I just wanted to give you all an update on how my infection is doing. After a first couple restless, painful and immobile nights the swelling has gone down dramatically. X-rays came back negative for breaks and I can now stand on my own and today I even went to the bathroom without my dad supporting my weight!

I'm currently in gabapentin for pain, clavamox for antibiotics and my usual rimydhl for inflammation. I now have a small puncture wound on my paw pad from what I'm guessing is because the swelling got so big it needed to relieve itself and we're putting bacitracin on as a precaution. I've been soaking my paw in epsom salt twice a day to help keep my paw clean and comfortable and you'll notice the booties that I'm wearing and that's to keep my paw clean when I go outside.

A tip for owners of 3-legged dogs is for you to be mindful that we won't show the usual signs and symptoms of an injured or sore paw as 4-legged dogs do. 4-legged dogs can lift the sore paw but for us, if it's the one leg (front or rear) we can't lift it when standing to show you something is wrong. We may lick it laying down or show some lameness so be sure to periodically check our feet!

I'll post some pictures below so you can see just how bad it got so that it may help you diagnose a potential problem with your pet.

Lastly, i'd like to thank you all for your generosity in helping Pumpkin and Lindsay. We were able to meet our goal and Pumpkin was able to have another consultation today. Lindsay will give you an update on "Punk" either tonight or tomorrow. I'd just like to ask that you continue to keep them two in your prayers 🙏💜.

In addition to pet sitting and having three cats of my own, I also have pet frogs. Or toads. Not quite sure yet, I raised them from tadpoles and they're still less than 1/2" long!

Summer heat can be hard on dogs' paws. Before taking your dog out, try this test. If you can't hold your hand on the pavement for 5-10 seconds without discomfort, your dog won't want to walk on it, either.
