Our Pets

When we go away we have a service that comes in to take care of out cats.

It really works out well for me. I really don't like taking my kitties away from their home. I try to make it as least stressful for them as possible.

I love this it makes me laugh so much

We drop our dogs off with my SO's mom when we go out of town. "Grandma's house" lol

We already had no plans to really travel these next few years anyway because our dogs are very elderly and nearing the end.. we want to be with them. The pandemic just cemented that for us.

My brother and sisters leave their dog with my parents' housekeeper. We still let her live in the house so my siblings think that she should do things for them still.


I just can't do that to her.

She has an 89 year old mother to take care of and she also gets a job with the county.

She is taking such great care of the house that my sisters did not want to sell the house.

My broker told me he just sold a house right around the block for almost $200k over the asking price but I really have no energy to argue with my sisters.

I am so sorry for your loss. You're right it doesn't matter how old they are or if you know it's coming it is a blow that leaves a hole in your heart.

Run free little one and may happy memories of her fill the hole she has left ...

I am so sorry to hear that Heather. Have a hug. ❤️

When our dog was puppy new to us, she chewed an aglet. Luckily. we caught her at it, and was able to tell her off. 

She has never damaged anything since. The only thing she ever chews is her nylon chew bones. 

Rant alert...
Common sense . Apperently not so common.

Today we took the boys to the playground. This isnt a dog park in the American sense of the word its one of a number of small fenced in areas where dogs are allowed off lead, everywhere else in the town they have to be on the lead.
So we are throwing a ball for Murphy and George is chasing. George has zero recall, hes a hound and he lives up to it.
A lady rocks up in her mobility scooter with two little dogs and just flings open the gate.. WE scramble to grab George before he heads off over the horizon. Then she lets her dogs off and they start yapping and snapping.. Then she throws a ball for them.. George goes over to say hello ( he is a social butterfly) and gets snapped at, she thinks its funny..She throws the ball and her dogs take turns to chase the ball and snap or bark in Georges direction..she thinks this is so amusing...
Murphy had his own ball and isnt possesive anyway so he just kept well clear of them.
Luckily Murphy had pretty much had enough so shortly after she arrived we left but honestly stupid isnt in it.

If my two had been aggressive or had ball envy like hers it could have been a bloodbath and her dogs would not have come out of it well.
Why oh why didnt she first ask if it was ook to join us and if her dogs are that badly behaved around a ball keep her damn ball in her pocket.

Some people are just not very thoughtful/mindful.
