I hope everyone had happy holidays and the new year is starting out right for you. All of this sun we have had the last month has been nice for me. Not so many muddy paws to wipe at one time. I wanted to invent those boots for poochie woochies to keep their paws nice and clean, but I saw that someone had already invented them. I'm just not sure anyone one has a size large enough for my Rosie's paws. I'm not sure she would ever wear the boots anyway. I would like to find out though.
I am still staying at my friend's house. It has been over a year now. For awhile, I had to stay to fully recover from surgery. Now I am still here for several reasons. Rosie loves her daddy, so it breaks my heart to think of taking her away to a new home. They could still see each other, but it wouldn't be the same. Then, there are the two kittens I found on craigslist for my friend to replace his old kitties that died in 2010. They are the sweetest kitties you could ever hope to own. Little Girl is laying beside me now letting me pet her while she naps. I would hate to be away from them, and I know they would miss me just as much. But the main reason I am still here is that it is hard to find a landlord who will rent to me once I disclose that I am a pet sitter and would like to be able to board pets in my home.
The words "pet sitter" bring up all sorts of negative connotations like dog poop everywhere, or damaged floors and carpets, and urine smell from cats, or holes dug in the yard. It is hard to convince landlords that all of those negative things are not caused by the pets, but by irresponsible pet owners who haven't taught their babies to behave and haven't trained them properly on where to go to the bathroom. They don't take their poochie woochies out for proper exercise so they don't get into so much mischief while they are away. It is a sad, sad situation for me, and my clients who loved to board their pets with me.
If you are already one of my clients, thank you for your trust. If you haven't tried my service yet, give me a try. You won't be sorry. I have excellent references. I am not bonded or insured, but I did pay for a background check through Care.com. I am come from a Christian family with old midwest character. I believe in the power of a handshake, and an unspoken code of integrity and trust. I like to keep things simple. I am a simple person, a simple person who loves poochie woochies and kitty cats.
