Posted by in cats I love it when the foster room looks like this: The laundry is all done and the extra stuff packed in the appropriate bin. The litter boxes and trays have been cleaned and extra cleaned with a product called Rescue which is used by shelters to kill anything that shouldn’t be present. The food and…Read more »
Posted by in dogs I got some more information on Bucky since I last posted. Both his front and back left legs were broken – presumably a car accident – 5/3, so it has been a bit. They were splinted by a vet in Kentucky and he was given meds for pain and such. He was also neutered in…Read more »
Posted by in dogs Bucky is here, and I suspect he is going to be here for quite awhile. The rescue said he had a little limp from a broken leg due to a car accident. The actual case is that he has very limited use of his front and back left legs…both of them. That doesn’t slow him…Read more »
Posted by in cats I got phone camera photos – not very good ones – but photos anyway of the kittens I’ll be picking up Wednesday. They are around 6 weeks old, a very fun age. They’ve been cared for by a woman who takes in lots of kittens, many neonatal, and cares for them herself. Because she has…Read more »
Posted by in cats Just a cute picture today. The kittens all in their cones after completing their last step before heading home: spay and neuters! Everyone did great on Tuesday, and they will be out of those cones shortly and off to their forever homes this Sunday. At 4 1/2 months since Amelia arrived this is one of…Read more »
Posted by in dogs Gracie and I are back doing our pet therapy visits – hallelujah! We have both missed doing that over the last year, and Gracie especially really needs the stimulation. Not to mention all the pets and admiration, because you know she doesn’t get any of that at home. (Or so she she would have people…Read more »
Posted by in dogs OK, I broke down and signed up for a new foster dog. We went two months without a foster dog…that’s pretty good, right? Yes, summer is busy, but it is mostly the mornings that are the problem, not the whole day. We often have clients first thing in the morning, and getting our two dogs…Read more »
Posted by in Uncategorized Amelia and her kittens are nearing the end of their time with me. Amelia, after being a total pill about leaving her spay scar alone, finally got out of the cone after seven days. I’ve never had a cat need a cone that long, but she would not leave the incision be, so I had…Read more »
Posted by in cats Amelia got spayed this week. She is not too excited about it, but there will be no more kittens in her future! Speaking of Tucker, he is back to being almost completely black, with just a couple splashes of the dark grey that started taking over when he was younger. He is either a) a…Read more »
Posted by in Uncategorized Today, May 31st, is the last day that I have staff in my pet sitting business. I’ve written here before that we are downsizing our pet sitting business, and after today, it is just me and Marley. I’ve managed staff in bookstores, publishing houses, and the pet sitting business for more than forty years now,…Read more »
