It's Friday! Yeah!!!!

Hello my furr kid guardians, how are you this evening? I would like to apologize for the horrible amount of time that has past since I last posted a blog. I have had one heck of a couple of weeks, and your loyal pet sitter is burned out!

This was a sad week for your loyal pet sitter...Nanny Elaine decided to hang up her nanny cap to find something with a bit more of a set schedule. Being a pet nanny comes along with some CRAZY hours which can change daily, and it's a hard adjustment to get used to. She was a great Nanny over the year plus that she was with me, and she was wonderful with all the furr kids that she visited over that time. I suggested to her that maybe she look into working at a doggy daycare since she is so great with doggies, and this would give her more of a structured schedule so she didn't have to keep track of our crazy ever-changing schedule. I have been interviewing for a replacement for Nanny Elaine, but after receiving nearly 100 inquiries it is taking some time trying to find that needle in a haystack. I have talked to some AWESOME candidates, but I am committed to finding the perfect Nanny who can join the superstar ranks of Nanny Samantha, Nanny Chandel, Nanny Heather and of course Nanny Katy, (well, me too). If any of you former Nanny Elaine clients would like to discuss this situation please do not hesitate to call me.

On a lighter note...I received all of my "swag" for the Bark in the Park! WOW, what cool stuff! I am super pleased about it, and feel that I made some very cool picks. I have electric personal fans, pedometers, bone shaped jar openers, paw shaped chip clips, a safety light/whistle and I'm still waiting on the poop bag holders...you know, the kind that you can clip onto your leash or belt buckle! We assembled the prize wheel last night, and my wonderful Husband designed a really cool graphic for it! Even if you do not have guardianship of a pup...you should still make a plan to visit the Bark in the Park, which is on September 20th at the Williams Street Park in Naglee Park. You can find everything that has to do with doggies, and a lot of kitty stuff too!!!!

I met the CUTEST pup the other day! Nanny Chandel is doing a 10 night overnight visit with a wonderful Shitzu named Molly Mae. Oh my goodness is this girl cute! She has a smile that would melt your heart, and is such a love bug! Nanny Chandel says that Molly Mae sleeps with her every night, and won’t let her out of her sight while she's there. I went to drop off some things for Nanny Chandel and that's when I had the pleasure of meeting this little girl. As we drove away Molly Mae was on the living room sofa looking out the window with a "please, come back" look on her face. I love when I get the chance to meet cute furr kids...although; they are all cute in my book, so that makes me the luckiest gal in the world.

One of my favorite things about working with furr kids is hearing the wonderful and sometimes hilarious names that they were given by their guardians. I talked to a new SVPN furr guardian the other day that has a Pug named...get this...Rhino. When I asked his guardian why she named him that, she replied, "because his butt is as big as a Rhino"...could you not laugh hearing that! I also met a furr guardian as I was walking Smush, (the Pomeranian) with a Dachshund puppy named...Banana!!! How appropriate is that name!

I still do not have nominee's for Septembers news letter pet...please do not make me go the nepotism route again and be sure to send me a cute short story about your furr kid. You can talk about anything...how they got their name, cute things that they do...does you kitty play fetch...that could be a story. Also, if you do not see your furr kid on the website please make sure to e-mail a picture of them to me so they can make their website debut.

That's all for now...until next time!
