Zoe

One of the very best things about pet sitting is that we get to interact with so many wonderful pets.  We see some of our clients on a daily basis as we give them their midday breaks.  Others we may only take care of a few times a year when their families go on vacation.  We come to know and love each and every one of them as if they were members of our extended families.  Kind of like our furry little nieces and nephews.

One of the very worst things about pet sitting is that we occasionally lose one of our client pets.  We recently lost one of our favorites.  Zoe, a black lab, came into our lives just over a year ago because she was no longer able to make it all day without an accident while her pet parents were at work.  In addition to daily dog walks, Zoe was also a guest in our home a few times when her family went out of town.  We lovingly walked her, administered her meds and supplements, and even patiently waited by her side for her to recover from an occasional small seizure.  It was our pleasure to do what we could to make life better for her. 

                          

Zoe left our lives just short of her 16^th birthday.  A good long life for a big dog.  We miss her very much.
