Hi, it's no wonder the English discuss the weather constantly; we have so much to discuss. One minute it's pouring the next it's brilliant sunshine and we're all flagging in the heat, the next we are sheltering from a hail storm and then we're taking pictures of the brilliant rainbow in the sky. Having an outside job I get to experience every change in the weather that's thrown my way throughout the day and I never know what to wear from one day to the next - sometimes from one hour to the next. I think I am going to have to invest in some outdoor wear that keeps you cool but dry, so if anyone has any suggestions please email me.
Luckily for me I live near a very large wooded area with a little river running through it, so if it's hot, as it has been just lately, I can take the dogs for a walk and stay mainly in the shade with a stop off for a wallow in the stream. John and I have been splitting our walks and this has been working out much better for us. So usually now I will only be walking three dogs at a time. Much more manageable! I do admire the dogwalkers who can walk six or seven dogs without any help but that's not for me.
So who am I looking after at the moment? Buster a big black lab, very well behaved and well trained. Bear, a tri coloured Jack Russell cross, who has a few behaviour issues and Bob, the Schnauzer who is working through his unusual behaviours with a trainer. I also have two gerbils staying for a week. Outside of the house I am looking after a cat that doesn't even belong to the family who have hired me to feed him and their Guinea Pigs, two lovely puppies called Jasper and Honey and two beautiful Spaniels called Skye and Freddie who give me a heart attack every walk when they run off and don't come back for quite a while, they do always come back though, phew! I am also looking after a client's garden who is on holiday, just watering and tending the plants. Of course I cant forget Poppy and Paolo, two little regulars who enjoy their midday walk in the park, today accompanied by Jasper.
More cat sits starting soon and I will have some piccies to post very soon, so come back and visit again.
Thanks
Sharon
