HE IS SUCH A HAM! "PUT MY PICTURE IN A POST! COME ON DAD!" SO, HE GOT HIS WAY...AGAIN!
Yes, its the fur, feather, and scale babies, that really are my passion! I"d like to tell you a little bit about the joys of having a Pet Care business! I think that this is best accomplished by introducing some of these wonderful critters, that keep me smiling (most of the time)! The other part of this, is being the one who must be responsible for their well being, while their family is away! And that includes the emergency decisions that I must make, as well! They are the ones, that make a person truly know if they have what's necessary to do my job! It really does separate the true professionals, from the hobbyist! In my career, my decisions have saved the lives of at least two kitties, and four pups! These decisions usually have to do with contacting the owners (when possible), and doing the best thing possible to keep the fur babies safe, or, to actually save a life! Knowing animal first aid, is crucial, to making the correct decisions as well.
The very first time, I was put a the life or death situation, was many years ago, (of course, in the middle of January), when a little Dachshund, walked into it's families swimming pool, and proceeded to sink immediately to the bottom of the pool! These little short legged pups, are a little bit, like rocks with legs! Just not built for long distance swimming, or any other kind! They are , perhaps, better built for sponge diving in the ocean! (as long as there is a lifeguard on duty!
A responsible Pet Care professional, or not, will do as I did... and jump in the pool to save the pup! I did, and the little girl was ok! I'm no hero...only someone that knows how to make responsible decisions, based on the events at hand! Sometimes you don't get much of a chance to think, only the choice to respond (or not)! If this sounds like an advertisement for my services, then, maybe it is! I don't take chances with my own animals, and I regard, your animals as mine, while under my care! I have studied animal first aid, and feel comfortable in most any sort of emergency! I feel that this is one of the things that separate a good Pet Sitter/ Dog Trainer, from one that perhaps, should be passed by, as not a good choice to watch your precious babies!
ANY QUESTIONS?
