Darwin doesn't usually sleep with the cats, so it was odd to see him crawl in bed with Dickey last week. We said our last goodbye to Dickey on Monday and Darwin is curled up in the bed again. 😭 Dogs are amazing. We don't deserve them.

A different kind of freedom ride today as Dickey is free from a body that no longer serves him. Freedom from failing kidneys and bad joints. From incontinence and seizures. He will be missed 💔 RIP, Dickey. Thanks to Dr. Ryan Robinson @freeenergydr and the amazing staff at @thecreeksidevet for making the transition for Dickey as comfortable as was possible.

Another week's worth of toppers prepped for Darwin and Oakley's food. Fruit, veggies and low fat cottage cheese. Now if someone can prep my food for the week, that'd be awesome. 🤣

Being a prissy guard dog is hard work. 😁🐾🥰

If you are ever in the Orlando area, Key West for the Zombie bike ride weekend or Mardi Gras in New Orleans, book an appointment with @emmakenemer ! She's multi talented and does amazing mural work, too! This was our second time to be fortunate enough to get an appointment with her in Key West.

My dogs, your dogs, all the dogs 😁🥰❤️

When you have to work all weekend, but these are your clients...it's a pretty sweet "job". It's nice to provide peace of mind to the pet parents, especially when the pets are so great. #rufflifecrew #rufflifepetsitting #livingtherufflife #lovingtherufflife #treatyourpetstotherufflife #professionalpetcare #bondedandinsured #creeksidepetsitter #timarronpetsitter #carltonwoodscreeksidepetsitter #northamptonpetsitter #augustapinespetsitter #auburnlakespetsitter

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. As a pet parent and pet sitter, I have loved and lost a lot of pets. I know I have not included a lot of photos, but they are all in my memories. Thank you to those who have shared your pets with me. Thank you for the memories.

As a pet parent and pet sitter, there has been a lot of love and loss. Today is a day dedicated to remembering them, but the reality is that they are in our thoughts way more often. #2024remembranceday #petsweveloved

A big shout out to Card My Yard The Woodlands for this birthday card! I waited until yesterday to schedule for a birthday today 😳 and they delivered! Easy process to book and it was more than I expected. Thank you for making me look organized! 🤣

Seriously. Rescues are overwhelmed. Rescuers are exhausted and bitchy. Spay and neuter your pets. Do you know 10+ people that want to adopt an unwanted litter?

When your "therapist" comes for a sleepover, you take pictures. Callie is a great listener and only speaks when you're not listening to her advice. 😁🥰 . . #petsittingandcomposites #amateurcompositer #photoshopamateur #photoshopedit #rufflifepetsitting #slumberpawty

This has been the best 20.00 purchase for the cats' entertainment needs. 😁

Happy 33rd birthday to these two...the ones that were the ultimate test of my sanity, who brought out the mama bear in me, sharpened my twisted sense of humor and are the reason I don't babysit. 🥰😁 Love you both! Kayla Ruesewald Bo Ruesewald

Going to Grandma's. Lol. Darwin is breathing down Monty's neck and Oakley is waiting to see if we turn in the direction to the vet's office.

Lol...send help. I'm sitting outside, being eaten by mosquitoes to get a picture of rats...now they are rats in hats 🤣

Smalls has a love / hate relationship with this squirrel. She loves to wait for her then jumps at the window to scare her away.

Oakley is on squirrel watch with her emotional support ice cream stuffy 🤣 The squirrels are taunting her this morning.

@pinkheartcrochet made Oakley's time during Beryl less stressful. She made the most adorable dog toy for Oakley. This little duck has made it into Oakley's pack of favorite babies. 100000% recommend Caroline for adorable crocheted gifts.

This little lady was the sweetest cat with the biggest eyes. I met her and her mom in 2015 and became their pet sitter. The family moved away in 2022, so I had 7 years to love Chinny. As a pet sitter, I get to know and love many pets, so the loss of one means something. Though I had not seen her in 2 years, I can't tell you how touched I was that Chinny's mom reached out. I hope Chinny is now laying in a cloud garden, chasing butterflies and drinking water from crystal glasses. @meredithsafarik

Oakley's reminder for big hats and sunscreen if you're outside today! I think summer is here a but early 😁🌞

Buddy has found his forever home! We couldn't be happier for him and his new family. No more sharing toys with Oakley, it's time for Buddy to be the center of attention! Lone Star Animal Welfare League Laura McConnell Monty Baggett

Lol...Oakley has met her stuffy hoarding match. I can't even pick one up without Buddy coming to take it from me. Buddy is 2 years old, super friendly, good with cats and dogs and available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League Laura McConnell Monty Baggett

Buddy hopes all the moms out there had the best day ever! This big, handsome, 2 year old lab is available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League

Buddy is such an easy going, laid back dog. He's a great pillow and gets along with dogs and cats (cats make him a little nervous, though). He wants all the attention, as does Oakley, so there's some competition between them - friendly competition. I swear she gives him an "I win" smirk at the end of the day, though because she can jump onto the bed and he can't (yet). Once he loses some weight she may not be the only one on the bed 😁 Buddy is 2 years old and healthy overall, just a bit overweight. He's available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League

I enjoy a good before and after composite. Sadie is one of the best models to work with 🥰

One of my clients is moving out of the country and needs to find a loving home for their senior bunny. Bela is a sweet bunny and a trip that long would be hard on her, especially as a senior. Contact info and Bela's bio is in the pic.

Buddy is also a lover of stuffies. Oakley is not a fan of sharing her babies. Lol. So happy Auntie Laura has gifted 2 of the same toys 🤣 Buddy is available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League. He's 2 years old, good with dogs and cats. Super friendly and incredibly goofy.

I KNOW Darwin is in the best hands at Creekside Animal Hospital with Bryan Robinson and his amazing team, but it was hard leaving him this morning. He'll return with clean teeth and 2 less cysts. I'll be happy to get him home.

If you're in Montgomery County and need assistance with spaying or neutering your dog, reach out to Lone Star Animal Welfare League and see if you qualify.

Buddy went back home today and will return to us in May. I'm pretty sure he needs a stiff drink after being here for 24 hours. Lol - he got exercise and found himself surrounded by cats... He will be available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League .

Meet Buddy! He's a super sized chonk, but as sweet as he can be. Lone Star Animal Welfare League has taken him in and will make sure he finds the best home possible. Buddy's family found themselves in situation they did not ask for and his mom reached out for help. Thankfully, Laura McConnell was able to give Buddy's mom peace of mind and we will be fostering. Buddy is 2 years old and about 15 lbs overweight. We will be working on his diet and he will get regular exercise. He's a very laid back boy, gets along with our cats and dogs. We won't officially have him until the first week of May, but will be happily posting more.

She just looks like royalty 👑 😍 🐈

She does not look comfortable, but she was so relaxed 🥰

This is apparently the best seat in the house on a rainy day 🥰

Run fast for your mother...Girl power! Oakley is now the fastest. In Darwin's defense, he is almost 13 compared to her 6 years AND he had an injury to his leg a couple of months ago. We're just happy he can run, even if a bit slower.
