Good Morning World

It's cold outside so bundle up for your holiday shopping. Keep your doggies, kitties and other furry family members warm and cozy.

Today is going to be a wonderfully busy day. I get to see all kinds of four legged friends. They're all a joy to visit and I'm looking forward to it.

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday season. So far, so good for me :)

Monday Monday

It's a great Monday morning with the sun trying to make it's way into the sky. The trees are silhouetted against the light of the sun sitting below the horizon.

Today will be a busy day for this pet sitter. I will meet two new pet families and take care of some dogs of pet families I've known for a long time.

This week I'll be baking some homemade holiday treats to share with my furry family members as well as my extended furry family.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys each minute!

Another Late Night

All is quiet in the Facklam household and is an opportune time to blog.

It's been a good day. I met a few sweet dogs and a couple of cute kitties. Susan will be taking care of some of the pets and is looking forward to it. She's a great animal lover and an all around good person. She was great with our new client and gave them peace of mind knowing their pets will be well taken care of.

Plans for tomorrow are to go see a few big dogs and take the best care of them they can have compared to mom and dad :)

Wag More, Bark Less!

Pet Allergies

Today I received a Keurig (by the cup) coffee maker, so here I am in the middle of the night blogging instead of sleeping {8-O

Today I researched dog allergies due to a few dogs I've visited exhibiting some symptoms such as Scratching a lot, spots with no hair and red spots and/or dry skin, etc. Some of the symptoms are seasonal which is indicative of atopic dermatitis. There are treatments for the symptoms though the allergy will never go away. Benedryl can cut down on the itching which irritates the sking, but consult your veterinarian before administering any medicine. If giving your pooch the wrong dose it could be toxic to him and hurt him instead of helping him. Look on my Facebook for more info about allergies (link on my website).


Allergies, though annoying and sometimes painful if untreated, aren't usually a medical emergency. If, however, the allergy causes respiratory distress or any other extreme reaction, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Happenings

Today the December issue of Metro Pet Magazine should be out with our ad in it. Look for us on about page 28.

Yesterday there was a news story on the recall of some Iams brand foods. Read about it under Resources > News on our website.

Tis the season for new clients and I'm getting more than my fair share...yay! If you have plans for the holidays and need a pet sitter, get in touch with me quick so I don't fill up before you get the chance.

Well, it's off to run errands and see a few new babies and a few old friends. Take care and have a great day!

Another Day Going to the Dogs (har har)

Today is starting off early. I put a pot of coffee on and have started my day. It's the weekend you say? Four legged folks don't know that. To them it's just another day to be happy to see the Pet Sitter.

There are three wonderful kitties and a few really cool dogs I'm going to see today. I love having a variety of furry guys to see. Both are from new clients and I'm loving it. I love my existing clients too but its always fun to meet new ones and take care of them.

I created a new article on Pet Allergies and have been researching more on pet nutrition. I plan to have a seminar in the spring on pet health and have a booth at the Kearney Business Group expo called "Home, Health and Happiness". Be there!

We just added a Store to our website. Check out the savings of no tax and oftentimes no shipping!!

Well folks, I'm off to go see a dog about a cat, or is it a cat about some chow... at any rate, I'm off.

Take care!
