I've just noticed I've got two followers YAY! Hi David and Anya, Little Glasses is my daughter Anya :). It's only taken three years of posting on this blog :( I don't mind, I enjoy my job and I enjoy writing about it :).
This is how my week went and will give you an idea of what I get up to.
Monday
Starts with an early morning walk with Suzie, a little pug. John takes her out on her 2 hour walk and I join him after an hour with whoever is boarding with me. Today it was a standard poodle called Chloe.
Paid a visit to a neighbours cat, Gibson who has to be fed and then is usually let out for the day and let back in in the evening. It's so cold at the moment I usually let him back in after a few hours. Had to visit Lily between 10 and 10.30am to give her an insulin injection and some cuddles and then it was off to collect the lunchtime dogs, Lobo, Marley and Poppy and Paolo. Today instead of John, my daughter joined me on the walk. Chloe came along too and we had a nice walk in the sunshine.
The day finished with an evening visit to Lily and another insulin injection, more cuddles and brushing and a couple of visits to Gibson to let him out and back in again for the night.
Tuesday
Buster came for the day today. He is a little dog but very dominant. I went over the road to let Gibson out and then I paid a visit to Lily. At 11am I came back to walk Buster, Lobo and Marley while John walked Poppy and Paolo and Skye and Freddy. We met up in the woods and had a warm by a bonfire which someone has been keeping alight. Very cold day but sunny, so pleasant to walk the dogs. Usual evening visits to Lily and Gibson. Last visit to Gibson so made sure the place was spic and span for my neighbours return.
Wednesday
John walked Suzie for two hours and I joined him for an hour with Jasper, a lovely 1 yr old spaniel.
Managed a slice of toast before it was off to visit Lily. Fed her and tried to warm the flat up by putting on an extra heater. Gave her a brush and cuddle and it was off to pick up Lobo and Skye and Freddy while John picked up Marley and Poppy and Paolo. Lovely walk although bitterley cold.
In the evening I had a consultation with a lady who wants me to walk her little puppy, Oscar. He is 4 months old and a cross labrador, collie. Luckily we got on like a house on fire and I start walking Oscar from next week. He will join one of the lunchtime walks, first on lead and then he will be walked off lead. John visited Lily in the evening and I had a rare night off.
Thursday
Buster arrived about 8am and I took him for a walk before going off to meet a new client who is interested in my cat sitting service. She happily booked my services and I will me starting the cat sit in a few weeks time, visiting her two lovely cats. Scooted over to Lily to administer the insulin inject and then it was off to pick up Lobo. Thursday is a quiet day for dog walking , so I had time to meet a friend for lunch. I took Buster with me on the walk with Lobo and then took him to the pub, a dog friendly pub in Beckenham called the Jolly Woodman. Finished the day with an evening visit to Lily.
This is how my week went and will give you an idea of what I get up to.

Friday
First job - pick up Suzie and Jasper for an hours walk. Buster was with me today as well. After that I went over to see Lily and then picked up Marley, Lobo and Buster for a walk in Beckenham Place Park. I was joined by my nephew today, so the dogs got extra time while we chatted and caught up with each other.
In the evening it was off to visit Lily and then off to see Stella and Lunar, two lovely black cats who love playing with feathers on a stick.
Saturday
John made the last visit to Lily and left the place clean and tidy for her owner's return. He then went off to visit Stella and Lunar.
Promise of snow tonight and luckily I only had morning jobs and the night off. I had a consultation with a lovely labradoodle this morning who is coming to board in April if all goes well with his trial visit in two weeks. He is a lovely shaggy brown colour and Im really looking forward to the trial day with him. His name is Berkeley and I will post a picture up of him on facebook for you all to see.
I hope you have enjoyed hearing about the pets I have looked after this week and if you are considering a pet sitter to look after your pets, I hope you call so that we can meet in person and have a chat.
Bye Bye and keep warm :)
