VACATION for ME?
This is my list so far....
Oct. 16th-off all day

RAINBOW BRIDGEThe most difficult part of my job is losing a one of "my" animals when they pass away. Whether or not it's unexpected or an illness or old age, the pain is still great.
I cry all of the tears along with their "caretakers" and try to remember all the wonderful times we had together.
It never gets easier.
Saying goodbye to:
NICKIE
Nik was almost 16 years old when he passed away recently, he was so dear to my heart. He always followed me around the house no matter how he was feeling and had to have his "lap time" before I left, much to the chagrin of his siblings! Nickie (aka: Ranah's Little Black Tonka Toy) is survived by his sibings Pudge & Shasta. I miss "my" little Nik. There will never be another like him.

MOVING AWAY
...always so hard to say good bye:
August is proving to be a difficult month saying goodbye to long-time clients!
I can assure you, Kleenex will be my 24/7 companion as I bid farewell to all of these furballs and get my last hugs & licks in! (photos to follow soon)
#1: Possibly the most difficult, the family of Lacey Grace, Henry, Sadie & Olive.
As I also became good friends with their "caretaker" Krissa over the years, her becoming my kayaking buddy too, the final visit to say goodbye is going to be tramatic. They have been my clients for a few years. I may have to save up some Skymiles to go visit them in Washington DC! A rare photo getting everyone together the night I said goodbye.
#2: Not moving very far away, but out of my territory, 2 loving kitties I have also known for several years, Sasha & Frisbee. We said our goodbyes last week and I was lucky enough to spend a few days with them while their "Mom & Dad" took a short vacation.
#3: Another big move a few states away, Dakota & Oscar leave soon, we said our farewell last week. Although only knowing them a few months, through the "scouting for a new home" process I spent a few weeks with them and became very attached to these big goofballs! Safe travels 'Kota & Oscar-man!
#4: Chip-Shot & Divet, two crazy & entertaining Bunnies I bid farewell to next week as Mom is being transferred to the NW. I have only known them 1 year, but have spent a lot of time with these affectionate cuddly floppy-eared babies! These two were amazing as they knew basic commands, had free roam of the house, and frankly, were better trained than many pets I have had the pleasure to meet in my pet-sitting journey. Yes ladies, I will remember to bring you some Organic "fronds-on" carrots from E'vrman Foods as your going away gift.....so spoiled by their "Nanny"!
#5: Two of my longtime Mon-Fri Daily Dog Walk pups have just moved due to their Mom & Dad being Military. It was a very sad day when I had to go say good bye the night before they left. Here's to happiness in your new home. (I totally "lost it" the moment after this photo was taken....)
Tyler & Maggie......
I will miss you so much!
#6. On Aug. 22nd I said a tearful goodbye to Bella & Gizzo. A sudden job transfer takes them to Jacksonville within 2 weeks. This pair of fur balls have brought much joy to my life, I looked forward to my weekly visits with them....truly a joy! Another sad day.
CRAZY CRITTER
OF THE MONTH!
KIWI
Kiwi is one of my favorite Parrots I care for on a regular basis! She s a CAIQUE Parrot and has so much personality!
Caiques are known for their "hair-surfing", and as a general rule, I usually keep my ball cap on when visiting with her!
Caiques are not a "beginner bird", they require a good deal of traning and firm "rules". Kiwi was a rescue and has found a great home with one of my regular customers. She learned manners quickly and is a complete joy to spend time with. She loves to swing upside down on my finger as well as playing with my hat! I look forward to my time with her, as well as the 3 other birds that live with her. KIWI! You are one special lady!
***SPECIAL NEWS!***
The photo I took of Shasta, above, just won a contest in the Nov/Dec Issue of Pet Sitter's World Magazine!
Shasta will be the "Pet Pinup" for the Holiday Issue!
Congratulations Shasta!
