Happy Halloween!

Shadow, the senior foster chihuahua*, wore this to an adoption event this weekend! How dang cute is this?!?!?!?  Thanks to Chava for the photo!



* Yes, he is available for adoption! Don't you want him? Write me if you do!

Marlo!

OMG PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!! That is how I felt pretty much every time I saw Marlo last week!

Dog art

Baxter the Beagle's big sister, Nora the Human Child*, drew this amazing portrait of him in our notebook!  Isn't it perfect?




*No one calls her that.

Aspen

Everybody looks good in a yellow slicker, but especially Aspen!

Sterling

A hairless Chinese Crested? A puppy? With a sweater and blue hair? ARE YOU KIDDING?!!?!? He is amazing!!!!

Lola!

Tiny Lola is a dream to take care of! Her little tiny legs barely need walking! She's very happy to just play fetch inside!

Burt the beagle!

Burt is crazy on walks, but almost immediately goes and falls asleep on his person's bed afterwards!

Bella cat!

We got to take care of cute little Bella and her brother Rye in August while their folks were off getting married! Such a treat! What sweeties!

Kali!

Looks like I finally got a good picture of Kali, one of the greatest pups on Earth!

TANK!

 

This is by far the cutest picture of Tank I've ever taken. Beagles have great smiles!

Kaia and Aspen

Kaia is a nice older lady who lives in the same building as our fluffy little friend, Aspen! She was staying at his house for a few days so we got to walk them both! It was super super hot out that week so we did a lot of hanging out in their building's dog run. How cute are they?

 

Kaia!

 

Aspen!

Farewell, Ruby!

Oh no! Ruby moved to another neighborhood! Stop doing this to us, people! We loved this crazy adorable pittie so much! Good luck out there, cutie pie! Don't eat any cats!

Dru and Mr. Pants

Augh!

Roxie again!

Earnestly begging for a piece of my bagel. Sorry, dear, at your size, a crumb might make you gain a pound!

Madonna and Slaid!

I recently got to house sit for Madonna and Slaid, who are super fun! Madonna the Chihuahua is the tiniest little old dog! Here she is cuddling on me!

 

Slaid the poodle is a big old goofball, and so gentle with his tiny sister!

 I took a few shots trying to show the size difference, but this was the only good one:

Juno

Juno is a pretty kitty who looooooves when we visit. She has this adorable permanent head-tilt!

Rum Tum Tugger

 Tugger is NOT into pet sitters.  Which is too bad, because he's so beautiful, and has that nice long fur that I just want to pet! But no, he prefers to hide in the front window the whole time we're visiting!

Words to live by...

Just thought I'd share this find from Old City. It seems to be a combination gravestone/water fountain for horses! Too bad it probably hasn't worked in many years.

Jack and Dee Dee

I've been working for Dee Dee's family for years, so I still house-sit for them whenever I can, even though they moved to Center City. Dee Dee, the little beagle, is very old and slow now, but she seems very glad to have her new friend Jack around.  Especially if he sits still and lets her give him a "bath!"

Sadie Mae!

Look at how sweet she is! Sadie hates going outside, so her parents moved the furniture so we can play tug-of-war in the living room after our quick walk! She always wins.

Soupspoon

Soupspoon is just as cute as her name suggests, but she is not fond of visitors! Her brother cat, Bill Romanowski, is much friendlier, but harder to photograph!

Mac

Our newest doggy friend, Mac! He is super sweet and very patient, despite the seasonal allergies that are driving him crazy! We're very excited to add him to the roster.

Baxter and Benji!

These guys are so cute together! Look at those serious faces. They're very focused on the treat by the camera!

Bye for now, Luna!

Luna! One of my oldest friends. Luna has lived in West Philly 2 different times and both times we were pleased to have the privilege of walking her.  She hates dogs, trolleys, and trucks, but she looooves people.  We are so sad that she is moving away! It's just Center City, so we all hope we'll still see her around sometimes!

Good luck in your new neighborhood, sweetie!

Good luck Griffin!

I know this pic is blurry but I had to post it! Our buddy Griffin just moved out of the neighborhood, to our great sadness! This was taken at his birthday/going away party last month. That's his new favorite toy, named Greg Dean, a giraffe with a purple mohawk! We'll miss you so much, Guff!
