Happy Halloween

A Walk in the Happy Tails Dog Park

Hanna and Daisy love to walk together. If one drops and rolls, the other does it too. If one heads for the water, the other heads there too. They are like copy cats. It was a beautiful day out yesterday so we all enjoyed our walk.

My Friend Pat's New Puppy

This has got to be the cutest puppy I have ever seen. Pat brought her to Party in the Park on Saturday and I was walking around with her in my arms and she was a kid magnet. Every little child wanted to pet her. Her name is Nugget and she is a little golden nugget! I just love little puppy kisses.

Katie, Mischief and Sweetie

Kitties are doing well. We were worried about Katie for two days. We just couldn't find her. We finally found her hiding on day two and once she had eye contact with us, she then came out to eat, and then disappeared again! Mischief and Sweetie are fine. But a little lonely for their family to be back in the house full-time. Sweetie is the friendliest and most loving cat. We spend quality time together while we are there. One day we took her out into the backyard (because we know she loves to go outside)…and she escaped through TWO fences. The plastic green one and the mettle mesh on the neighbor’s yard (in back). The worst fear when pet sitting….the pet goes missing!! We walked around the block a couple of times calling and looking but no luck. We went back at noon to look and heard the jingle of her tag and collar. She came running back. We probably won’t risk her out side again. Garden doing ok. Rained like crazy late yesterday.
All for now! Ron and Kim

Oliver Having Fun in the Grass

Oliver The Toy Poodle!!!

Oliver, our current pet sit, a little toy poodle with diabetes, is just adorable. He has really warmed up to us over time. He looks forward to our visits now and he has become playfull with us recently. He likes going into the living room or the kitchen and likes when we lay on the floor with him and he nuzzles and rolls on his back and likes to do little bites of our fingers.

He has a short rope in the back yard and after we knew he trusted us, we let him off his rope and walked around the back yard with him and he came to life. He started rolling in the grass, exploring and even started to bark at the neighbors for the first time. He was totally enjoying himself and feeling his oats. He felt pretty darn good and it was so enjoyable to see the little guy happy. He is funny to watch walking through tall grass. He does kind of a march lifting his little legs up. He is just so cute.

He is usually quiet and timid and he has become a whole new little doggy. He is so much fun to visit. He really looks forward to us now. I think he might miss us a little after the pet sit is over and we will miss him until the next time.
