Fall is just around the corner...
Yes, I know it is still August, the hottest month in Texas, but yesterday morning it was 68! It felt like winter! True, I am desperate for something that feels cool on my skin, but it really did feel like a shift in the weather was coming. That will make today's 96 degree forecast more bearable. Don't worry by next month I will have stopped talking trash about the weather.
This has been a quiet summer by pet sitting standards. A downward shift in the economy always comes later to Texas, it seems, than the rest of the country. However, I have never, in 24 years, experienced a recession in this business until this summer. Business is off about 50 percent. My clients are all still with me, they just aren't going anywhere! Maybe I should get with a travel agent and offer cheap packages to my clients. Does this seem proper-Take A Vacation and keep your pet sitter employed!
My own dogs and cats, 2 of each, eat a super premium, organic, holistic, human grade, very expensive food. They are high maintenance and would not appreciate, or eat, a lesser quality bag of kibble.
This is already too much ado about nothing, but I just realized I have not written about my own brood. Above from left to right my 2 dogs, Benjy and Charlotte, then my friend Melissa's girl, Penny, and on top is Nemo, who spends half his week with me giving me 2 1/2 dogs technically. They are all doing what they do best. More about them next time.

This is a wonderful article. I especially liked the information about your pet's nutrtionl. I can see that it gives them all of the energy that they need. Go back to Kibbles without the sedative.
