Tessa is part Poodle and part Chihuahua.  She is so sweet and so smart.  She loves to play frisbee and enjoys her toys.  Her owners rescued her and have taught her so much.  She is such a pleasure to pet sit for and can be described as pure joy!  It is hard to imagine such a small being knowing so much and giving so much to people, but she does.  My favorite part of taking care of her is how I am treated when I return.  I am greeted with such excitement as she turns in circles and lays on her back for a belly rub.  Another fun observation of Tessa is how fast she runs!  This is a dog that needs to try agility training!!  Just ask her to find the squirrels in her back yard and off she goes with lightning speed!  Good things definitely come in small packages!

Pink is on the left, Floyd is on the right.  Everyday for 2+ months I have visited Pink, Floyd & Crewella.  Their owner is in N.Y. for a while.  They are brother and sister and I am growing very attached to them.  Pink is the boss and Floyd is just a lover Crewella, still trying to get her picture, was very out of sorts when I started pet sitting.  However, she now sits on my lap every time I visit.  She is very sweet.  Floyd has dancing eyes and Pink gazes into your eyes making it very hard to leave them when I have to.  They are very affectionate and loving and I know they miss their owner who is getting needed medical attention.  I try to spend as much time as possible with them to make it easier on them and their owner.  They will be with their owner soon and I will miss them.

Charlie lives with Annie.  Charlie has a lot of energy and loves to chase lizards.  It is hard to keep her  away from her lizard-chasing hobby, but she loves attention, too.  Charlie and Annie love a walk as well.  They both love looking out the window and keeping watch.  What a joy to take care of them.  

When I first starting watching Crewella, she wouldn’t come out of the closet.  I was warned she may not want to socialize, but as time went by she changed her mind and gradually went from hiding in the closet to being scratched on the head to sitting in my lap!  She keeps up with Pink & Floyd who she lives with and is very affectionate. Pink and Floyd really are gentle with her, too.

Frankie lives with Sunny.  They are very affectionate and love attention! Frankie sits up for attention.  His body doesn’t look like he could sit up, but he’s great at it!  It is so darn cute.  He steals your heart like Sunny. They make a funny pair – one big, one small, but they get along great and that’s all that counts.  Frankie’s eyes are so different and looks like they are painted on – I love those eyes!

Maggie lives with MiMi and they are quite the pair!  She is very laid back and calm, unless you have the treats out and then she let’s you know exactly what she wants.  You guessed it – a treat.  She will bark, in a friendly way, until she gets one.  What is cute is she barks for the both of them.  She is kind and obedient. No wonder that the Golden Retriever is so popular right now.  She has some stuffed toys she loves to play with and when you visit she is so happy to bring one to you for a game of fetch.  She just seems appreciative somehow and you sense it.  It’s such a pleasure to visit her and Mimi.  She looks elegant to me.  Love you Maggie!
