Angus looks like my sort of pet sitting! Have to say he looks fairly superior in your photo ..... "You looking at my tail???" (It's a wonderful tail Angus!)

This weekends work, two cockateils, Harvey and Nix. Harvey loves to sit on my hand and bite at my rings. Nix wants to be beside you but not so much on you. Lovely birds.

It is nice, isnt it.
They are very friendly birds. Took me about 10 minutes to catch them and put them back into their cage. Thought it was gonna take me alot longer than that:lol: They really weren't a problem at all.

[Elaine]

Harvey did crap on my hand, must buy that lottery ticket:lol:

[Mags]

Zeke is a Doberman. He is still a pup really, 11 months old, dominant, smart and very strong. The owners are working very hard with him as he has a fixation on bicycles right now. Their last dog trainer didnt beleive in dominance so they are looking for another trainer to help them take control.

[Moli]

He is a beauty Elaine, Dobes are very strong willed....But sure you can sort him out...;)

And dont the owners know it;) SuzyQ's owner heard me talk about him and said he loved Dobes and he wanted one:roll: I gave my best Paddington Bear stare and said very firmly NO.:?

[Moli]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Love to see your Paddington Bear Stare!!:lol: :lol:

[Elaine]

I also now have a few bunnies on the books as well as two amazon parrots.

[Mags]

Your getting quite a selection of different pets, aren't you? :D

[Elaine]

Yes, which is what i wanted, I didnt want to become just another dog walker. I love the dogs and i enjoy the walking, even if its in the rain but its nice to have the variety.:D

[Elaine]

Just got a call, have now got two bassets to walk:D Hamish and Homer.

[Moli]

[dandysmom]

Angus is a stunner...what a tail!! Love the cockatiels! Sounds as if your client list is growing; excellent news!

[Elaine]

I have two talking amazons in October, Sophie and Roxy. Erin is comi9ng up to visit that weekend but she had better not teach them any foul language:lol:

[Moli]

They really should have called one of those Basset.............Bertie....;) :lol: :lol:

[candyshandy]

You sound as if you're really enjoying it Elaine.

I'm really pleased for you. :)

Its a shame you don't live closer my friend with the Bassett Macy is desperate to find a dog walker.

[Elaine]

Just send Macey up here:lol:

[Elaine]

Only walked one basset today, Hamish, as Homer has hurt his hind leg and has to rest for 3 weeks. That said, he tried to jump all over me when he saw me:? . Hamish really reminds me so much in the basset we had as children.
Things are certainly picking up, got a call from a guy who used to come into the pet shop asking me to walk his two staffies, Buster and Tara. Going to see them this weekend.

[Grete]

Really pleased it's all taking off for you Elaine, you have some lovely clients there :)

Having had my first experience of a petsitter last weekend, it was amazing the difference in my stress levels (and the girls) not having to worry about them and that they were calm and relaxed and not too huffy when we got back. Will definately be using her again.

[Elaine]

Thankyou Grete.

Here are a few of Honey, the bunny I looked after last weekend.

Yes she did. She doesnt like you trying to handle her but will sit with you for a comb and a brush. She was lovely.

[Mags]

Does she sleep indoors or out?

[Elaine]

Indoors, she has a hutch and the run of the flat when there is some one home.

[Elaine]

Dale.

[angieh]

I do like Dale - is he a young'un?

[Elaine]

He's 4 months Angie. Have been doing little bits in the garden with him, walking to heal, sit and stay etc. Just a few minutes at a time coz puppies get easily distracted what with flies to chase and stones to collect:-D :-D :-D
He's a treat though.;)

[Mags]

What a lovely chappie he is, he looks very playful too..:D

That's a nice garden for him to play in and get a bit of training at the same time......... I am sensing that you are enjoying your job, Elaine...:D
