It's been a while!

Hello all my furr kid guardians, how was everyone’s 4th of July? I hope everyone stayed safe and you're furr kids were not totally traumatized. I can tell you that our cat Corn spent most of the week hiding in our bathroom...he's not a fan of fireworks, especially those loud M-80's that our neighborhood kids seem to be so fond of. Blackjack is pretty brave, but he too was not thrilled at the loud bomb like blasts. I know that many of you have "kids" that do not handle this time of the year very well, (a few had to be put on tranquilizers) but it's over now...and we have another year to prepare.

Our Nanny schedule was INSANE over the Holiday weekend! Nanny Sam had quite a few visits on the 4th, but said that she liked being busy due to unfortunately losing two of her beloved kitties in the past month! I felt SO horrible for her...losing a furr kid is very difficult and no matter how many times you go through it, it never gets any easier. Nanny Elaine is still with her blind Oscar dog, and is really getting his schedule down to a science...it's a MUCH different experience when you have a blind furr kid in your care. I'm very proud of her, and it just proves to me how she is just meant to work with animals. Nanny Katy was extremely busy over the holiday, but handled it like a champ...not that it surprises me...she is a champ. Nanny Heather finished up with her kitty job, and Nanny Chandel finished up with her bunny and guinea pig visits. As for me...well, I had a much lighter schedule than the rest of the girls, but that's due to me trying to spend more time in the office and less time actually out doing visits. You know how it is when you take a day off of work and when you get in the office the next day it seems like the world has exploded? That's what I'm trying to avoid.

This is week is going to be bitter/sweet for me...sweet because I get to visit Scooter again! Remember Scooter...the little kitten with paralysis in his back legs? Well, my client is babysitting him again and since I'm doing a pet taxi for her doggy, I get the pleasure of spending some time with the little guy! Bitter because it's going to be SUPER HOT this week! They are predicting temperatures close to 104!!!!!! This weather again, is not good for your furr kids or your loyal pet sitters, but remember to keep lots of fresh water out for your kids and we will make sure to have lots of "nanny water" for us. I must admit, I do enjoy visiting those guardians homes that have air conditioning...it's a nice treat for your loyal pet sitters.

Well, I guess I better go and get ready to visit some of your furr kids. I wanted to make sure to mention that if you're looking for something fun to do this coming weekend, (12th and 13th) the annual Obon festival is going on in Japantown...it's a lot of fun, and you may even run into your loyal pet sitter hoping to win in the bingo tent.

Until next time!
