Pet Sitting with Bailey the ragdoll cat!
Bailey is such the sweet, playful, typical cat~~~ He makes you find him when you walk in his home… and once that game is over, he is rubbing up against my ankles everywhere I walk. After Bailey supervises me scooping his litter and feeding him some of his wet food, it is time for grooming, which he tells me is the best part of his day! Persians (especially Bailey) have lots of hair, so I brushed and brushed him emptying the brush about four times by the time we were done! He even left me a present to take home with me… a nice new FUR shirt! 
he he he. It is the perks of the job. Although Bailey has many cat toys and whips, he was really just concerned with some old fashioned TLC and massages! He even let me rub his belly. For those of you who are cat lovers, you know that is a bonding experience all in itself.
Bailey is a happy boy!!!!

If I didn’t have dogs…
I got this from a friend in an email and thought it was cute!
If I Didn’t Have Dogs…
I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. My house could
be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces,
clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair. When the
doorbell rings, it wouldn’t sound like a kennel.
If I Didn’t Have Dogs…
When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wa ding
through fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could sit on the couch
and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how
much space several furry bodies would need to get comfortable.
I would have money…..and no guilt to go on a real vacation. I would
not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put
their yet unborn grand kids through college.
If I Didn’t Have Dogs…
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit,
down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE. My house
would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or
barriers. My house would not look like a day care center,
toys everywhere. My pockets would not contain things
like poop bags, treats and an extra lea sh.
If I Didn’t Have Dogs…
I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E,
W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E I would not have as
many leaves INSIDE my house as outside. I would not look strangely
at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.
I’d look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading
‘mud’ season.
If I Didn’t Have Dogs…
I would not have to answer the question ‘Why do you have so many
animals?’ from people who will never have the joy in their lives of
knowing they are loved unconditio nally by someone as close to an angel
as they will ever get. Remember, D-O-G spelled backwards is G-O-D!
How EMPTY my life would be!
Safety is Key
Do as much as possible to ensure that things are safe and secure before you go away.
- Unplug any electrical appliances that will not be used to prevent injury to pets or damage during an electrical storm.
- Close the door on the clothes dryer.
- Consider leaving the radio on to keep your pet company (and deter crime).
- Clean up anything that might be accidentally swallowed by your pet (Christmas tree tinsel, pine needles, string, ribbon or other holiday items).
- Never leave your pet in the garage. Too many toxic substances may be stored there. If you feel you must, pet-proof the garage first.
- Make sure that indoor pets are inside.
- If your cat(s) escape(s) beforehand, let the sitter know to look for the animal(s) outside.
