Inspired

My cousin, Bobbi, inspired me to write again. Nothing much to report. This dog sitter is still taking care of animals. It's been very warm in Northeast Ohio, 88 degrees yesterday. Today's line-up is as follows: a very shy cat named Natasha, then a walk for Lucy, a black lab. After that go and let out Ariel and Gibson, then let out Chloe and Tanner. Next a visit with Rocky (rottie/lab mix) and then I'm finished for awhile. Tonight it's Stan (St. Bernard) and Chole (beagle) for a walk. Then off to Adeline, Elliott, Chiquita and Moochie (cats) that I'm staying with.

Okay, I wrote...My cousin thinks there is not anyone reading her blogs, well, I did. Now will anyone read this??? I think not.

how to post from a blackberry???

Julie and Julia Inspired

I went and saw the movie "Julia and Julie" or "Julie and Julia" whichever it is! I highly recommend it. It inspired me to blog more and to cook. Something tells me I will blog more and I will cook! Two days in a row worth of blogging ... Wow! It is possible! Although, how do you get into what to say! Today was uneventful, pet sitting wise. However, I must smell good because every single dog today has their nose stuck to me, smelling my legs and my shoes. I always wonder what's going through their heads and if I should introduce them to each other as their smelling each other and if they met each other in person, would they know the other dog from smelling it on me??? Ponderables!

Little Girls In Big Boxes

The funniest thing happened while I was checking in on a friends dog the other day. I hear a knock at the door so I go to the front door and through the side window I see a box with what looks like a black wig in the box. My friends daughters are always playing dress up so I figured that a neighborhood kid must have borrowed the supplies. Well, when I opened the door I realized that there was a real live little girl stuffed in the box. You can't imagine what went through my mind. I said to the box...."Hello???..." The girl does not move a muscle. I actually tapped the side of the box with my foot, why???? Who knows! I needed the little girl to move. I actually was starting to think that someone stuffed a little girl in a box, who might be dead, and dropped her off! Right when I was ready to go into rescue mode the little girls pops up and says....To be truthful, I don't remember what she said. She scared the devil out of me! To which this little 6 year old (?) started jabbering away. She wanted to know if I knew her other neighbor because she almost gave her a heart attack. She just talked and talked not even noticing, I don't think, that I wasn't who lives in this house. Then all of a sudden she picks up her box and says she's off to the next house! Is that not hilarious! She never stopped talking! I wanted to ask her if she thought of her little trick all on her own. Pretty inventive. Maybe she watched "Punk'd". I had to write about this! Too funny, too cute, but one I hope her parents keep an eye on!

Picking Up After Your Pets

I've been walking dogs for going on five years now. I am an expert at knowing when my shoe/boot hits mud versus dog poop! Poop has a different feel to it entirely and of course stink! I hate when people don't pick up after their dogs. Maybe the excuse is it's biodegradeable...Do these people know that 30% of the e-coli found in our water systems (including our drinking water) is from pet waste. It's also considered a "bio-hazard" by the EPA...How to get that message out I'm not sure...Maybe bumper stickers that say... Be Kind Pick Up After Your Pets Behind

I'm Back!!!

Wow! It's been since January that I last wrote...It is hard to keep up with pet-sitting, facebook, personal email, business email and still try to be my lazy self! Will try to do better!

More Snow

Okay, I just noticed that I've been commenting about snow since I started my blog in November. I must take a new video tomorrow to show what was added to our snow yesterday. 10 more inches! It's been a long, white winter, which hasn't happened in awhile. However, even though it's usually not fun to drive in when it's like it was yesterday, it is pretty and I like it a hundred times better than COLD RAIN! Which would be our other option this time of year! Oh well, it won't be long until we'll be complaining about the heat!
