Adventures of a Pet Sitter: 2010 - II
This week was pretty uneventful in the pet sitting arena. One of my little friends did find a dead bird on her property and proudly brought it over to Auntie Roberta as a Valentine's Day present. In all honesty is was the only V-Day present I received, so I suppose I should be grateful. Fortunately she didn't eat it, just carried it around. The owner was instructed to watch for any digestive upset, vomiting or worms in the stool. She seems to have been unaffected. As her owner said, she is such a keen hunter!
We did rescue a young female Mastiff who needed to find a new home. Her owners also had a beautiful little (relatively speaking) 8-week old brindle Mastiff pup, and she is now finding her way around our place with two Chihuahuas, two Dachsies and her older Mastiff "brother." We named her Brynleigh. I had forgotten the challenges of bringing up a baby with the potty training and working hard to assimilate her into the family where the hierarchy is already established. I certainly upset the apple cart and confused all my four-legged (and three-legged) friends. She has the usual puppy problem with Roundworms but also has a healthy case of Coccidia which is not good news.
