Tucker the Golden

This week I am caring for Tucker, a sweet, female Golden Retriever. She is the embodiment of goldens. She is smart, sweet, caring, personable, everything you expect from the breed. She also has a sense of humor, and smiles the biggest smile I have seen. She loves her peoples and her home. She also loves her stuffies and has them all over. She is very careful with them, unlike most dogs, she does not rip them open to get to the stuffing. She understands so many words you can nearly have a conversation with her. She loves to please and get her belly rubs. She, like many dogs, misses her family and she will let you know that she misses them. That sweet little whine and look of I am glad your here but I will be happier when my peoples return. She is so funny too. You can tell her to eat and she will take two bites and look at you like is that enough, will you pet me now? She knows though, she gets no treats until she finishes her din din. She wags her tail the entire time she eats, it is so cute. I love to just sit with her and rub her ears and talk to her. She has a wonderful, caring family that loves her dearly, and I lover her too.

Golden Retrievers are notable the most intelligent of all the dog breeds, used for all sorts of purposes, including service dogs to the disabled. I fell in love with Goldens when I started reading books by the author Dean Koontz. He has featured the breed in many of his books, as well as his beloved dog Trixie had a few books of her own. He and his wife even set up a foundation for the breed in the memory of Trixie who passed away.

They are a great family dog, gentle with children and protector of the home. They are suitable for all types of living, from apartments and city life, to country homes and hunting. They are energized and love to take walks, and play fetch, eager to please at every turn. If you are considering adding a dog to your family, you can not go wrong with this breed.

I hope you enjoy this View of a Dog Walker, and this little insight to a wonderful dog.

Sun, Snow, Fog, Oh My!

I was leaving from Titans morning play time on Monday when I seen the most amazing thing, it was flurrying snow, with the sun shining and in the next minute the fog rolled in and moved across the fields. It was beautiful and eerie all at the same time. I stopped and took a photo and a video and was in awe of the beauty of it all. I see lots of beauty with my job and many different views, but this was so rare and breathtaking. It is hard to describe, and the pictures and video does not do it justice. I had noticed while outside playing tag with Titan the mountains was fogging and that is was rolling across the peaks, but was not prepared to be enveloped in the fog when leaving. It was like something out of a movie. I am blessed to be able to share my experiences with you and I hope that you enjoy.

Time...

As today is my birthday, the big dreaded four o, I reflect on the past 5 years that I have been caring for pets. I think how blessed I am to be able to do something I love and to give something back to the people I work for. I like to think that I give them peace of mind while they are away from their loved pets. That they know that their animals are receiving the best care and love possible.

I truly cherish each pet I care for and love them all. I have grieved at the loss of pets, right along with their owners. I am welcomed with snuggles and wet kisses at each of my stops, I get hugs and love during my visit, how could I not have the best job ever!   

The last 5 years have been exciting and at sometimes even non- stop, but I have enjoyed it so much. I look forward to many, many, more years of working with animals.

I have dreams and goals to grow my business, to be able to provide the best service to all my clients. I hope that all of you come along with me.  Thank you for giving me the chance to be able to care for your pets. 

Until next time. Enjoy this View of a Dog Walker.

New Year Blog

With the new year, I am going to get back to my blog page, it has been way too long since I posted last. I had a very busy year end, I took a second job working for Gifts for Kids a non profit organization in Greene County. It kept me very busy and of course the pet sitting was in high gear for the holidays. I apologize in the lack of posts but promise to be better. I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. I don't know about everyone else but I am so ready for warmer weather. I am over these winter blues. All I want to do is hibernate.

With that I have picked up in the pet sitting, adding 2 new clients this month. I so enjoy my job and I always look forward to meeting new clients. Of course I love taking care of the clients I already have. 

I have had a few clients last year that lost loved pets. I wish each of them condolences and I will miss each of those wonderful babies. 

I look forward to a successful year and growing the business. I want to wish each of you a wonderful year and look forward to seeing all my "kids".

Our Pack-Spencer

I wanted to share another one of my pack with you all. Spencer is a Lab/ Shepherd Mix, we rescued him from the Humane Society. Or I should say he choose my husband while we was at the Humane Society handing out business cards. I have to say though that he is probably the favorite of the pack just because he does not know he is a dog. He was fixed at a very early age and did reach his full size. He is also the smartest of the pack. Easy to train and he figures things out for himself all the time. He also is the calm one and he is very spoiled. He sits in the vehicle like a human and in his recliner like a human. He has human characteristics that come through all the time. He sleeps with us and really does not like for my husband and I to get close, he sleeps between and loves the attention. He even pouts to get his way and pouts when my husband leaves for work. When you eat he can stare at you with the intensity of laser beams. He loves food, all kinds of food. We try not to feed him human food but sometimes we cave. Everyone loves him and wants to cuddle with him, he is the best cuddler.

 This is the day we brought him home

 This was this in 2012

                        
                             His 3rd birthday.

So this is just another of our pack and I hope you do not mind me sharing him with you.

I hope you enjoy this View of a Dog Walker.

Mountain Farm

 This is a view from my client that lives in Baileyton. It is a gorgeous view and I often think I can see home from there. I love to take care of the animals here. There are the horses and llamas. The dogs and chickens too. It is a very pretty place and great people to work for. It is very peaceful and I love to sit on the back porch with Buddy and watch the fish swim. Buddy demands my attention while there. But he is so awesome it is easy to fall for him. Even the drive there is scenic and enjoyable. 

 

 I hope you enjoy this View of a Dog Walker as much as I do.

Titan's View

 

This is Titan, he is a 16 month old Great Dane. He is amazing. I love to take care of him when his parents are away. We play and play. He is so loving and very high energy for his giant size. He is very very special to his family and they all love him greatly. I am very happy to be part of Titan's life.  He is an absolute delight to be around. And he has a gorgeous view as seen below. 

I hope you enjoy Titan's view and I hope that I can get back on track with the blog and not be so late getting out. It is getting to be very busy with summer coming up but I will try hard to keep at it. 

Hope you enjoy this View of a Dog Walker.
