Friday, July 23rd, 2010Another devoted client raved in an email this morning about Megan. She wrote: Funny story about Tucker and Megan.

Could you live in only 6 pieces of clothing for a month?
Friday, July 23rd, 2010http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/fashion/22SIXERS.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=homepage How about his & hers together on 3 pieces? That’s my husband and me in our matching company t-shirts, white socks & shorts. OK, a dressy t-shirt and long pants for special occasions. Easy on storage, the laundry, and the budget.

Getting your dog from here to there
Sunday, July 18th, 2010Stella’s “mom” did not want to send Stella by plane under any circumstances and particularly not in the summer heat.

A walk in the park
Friday, July 16th, 2010Well, what do you know! your morning walk in Central Park with your pooch is boosting your immunity, actually driving up your white blood cell count.

Does your dog throw up bile in the mornings?

Most people who feed their dogs twice a day generally give the breakfast and supper within 8 hours of each other. [...]

Sunday, July 11th, 2010Roxy is a Bernese Mountain Dog. In an email to me on 7/9/10, her owner wrote: Hilary is a caring, wonderful and focused dog walker. When she comes to our home, routinely in the late morning, I see Roxy’s tail begin to wag, and she cannot wait to go outside with Hilary (and often, some [...]
Wonderful dog walkers! Today: Jen
Sunday, July 11th, 2010No sooner did we post a client’s praise of our dog walker Megan than other clients wrote in praise of their dog walker Jen. (I have to think they wrote via email because, like me, they’re a little unsure about using new technology, ie, social media.) So, from Fosco’s mom we heard: I cannot resist [...]
