Why you should NEVER hire a kid to watch your babies...
So, a client of ours leaves and hires her children's sitter to watch her pets. (Regretting having done so now) Long story short, her (the kid) purse gets stolen from a bar last night. The last time she visited the dog was at 5:00pm yesterday. It is 12:18PM and she just contacted said client and arranged to pick up our key. To top it all off... she is watching more pets for another family (not a client of ours) and she can't get in touch with them so, she is just going to wait to hear back. Again, last time she visited the dogs was at 5:00pm ish yesterday...

What the heck!?

June, July & August:
Los Angeles, CA
New York, NY
London
Leon, France
Paris, France
Porec, Croatia
Vitoria, Spain
Tunisia North Africa

Conversely, I am going to a meeting in Hammond and I have Jury Duty every Tuesday and Thursday in July. If my piano teacher Mr. Fornet, would not have told my Mom that she was wasting her money, I would be the one darting about the world!
TRADE YA DEREK!

"Louis" needs a home!
This sweet baby was found in Louisville this long weekend by our friend Cara. She used a 9' ladder to get the baby out of a tree and he tinkled on her, scratched her and ran back up the tree. He finally let himself be rescued and is letting her hold him. Can you offer him a home?
