Pilots n Paws Rocks!


Problem: A wonderful 6 year old wire fox terrier needs a new home. His name is Alex and he is in Phoenix. Alex has been tossed around since his owner diet. A foster home is available in Boise. How do we get Alex from Phoenix to Boise? Hmmm, we've got a problem!
Solution: Pilots n Paws to the rescue!

I posted a request to the pilots who volunteer through www.pilotsnpaws.org and within a day I had several offers to get Alex flown to me! Jack Wood, a wonderful volunteer pilot, flew Mr. Alex from Phoenix to Reno. Alex is being boarded there until Kelley Moore picks him up on Saturday and drives him back to Boise.

I would like to thank not only Jack Wood, but my wonderful rescue folk volunteers on the Phoenix and Reno end of this transport. Follow my blog for updates on Alex. He gets neutered on Tuesday (ouch!) and then will be available for adoption. Cool!!

Burmese Mountain Dog Weekend

When it rains it pours! Between my sitters and me (The Pet Sitter, LLC), we are caring for 4 Burmese Mountain dogs between two families. They are really wonderful dogs! Big teddy bears! When we are out walking them, people come up to see them. They are like people magnets because they are so incredibly cute! They just make me so happy....they are big, lovable creatures. If you haven't seen one, look them up...they are cool dogs!

This is Bella, my latest foster dog. She is a 1 year old border collie mix. She is all border collie in personality....curious, playful, and smart. She is smart enough to ignore any command I give her. She is truly a blank slate. My friend, Joan Smith, president of IDAWG, says Bella is her kind of dog. Joan thinks she has all the cool border collie traits and has potential in agility and herding and all that border collie stuff. It will be fun watching her blossom.

Boots Again


Boots is one of my favorite cats. I think it is because he is a snuggler. He'll put his head on my chest and just purr. I adore him. He also has quite the personality. He loves his treats and also his bath water...yep...he demands that I put just a little fresh water in the bath tub each time I visit. This is where he drinks his water.


I also think Boots is gorgeous. He is a tuxedo kitty...my favorite. Kitties like Boots make my day and always bring a smile to my face.
