The lengths to which animal lovers will go for their precious pets never ceases to amaze and delight me!
“Lexie,” a little four pound Yorkie, is a perfect example of “pet care extraordinaire!” During the summer months, her owners reside in Maine, and in the winter they move down to their Florida home in Palm City.
The ultimate compliment to Critter Sitters is that even during the summer months, if Lexie’s parents decide to travel from The Cape, arrangements are made for her pet care with me in Palm City! The plan is that her “Daddy” flies her down to Florida and opens up their home here. Then I move in, and he flies back North where he joins his wife, and off they go for a European vacation. To them this is all worth it for the peace of mind, knowing that their precious puppy will continue her routine with me which includes lots of “TLC.” I love her as if she were my own, which isn’t hard to do…just look at that face! She has me totally under her thumb!
Lexie’s routine always starts with a brisk walk to keep her in shape, followed by a special combination of organic sweet potato, a little meatball and a heaping tablespoon of special Yorkie canned food. This combination is perfect for Yorkies, as they have a tendency toward pancreatitis, and must be on a very low fat diet. I microwave it for 12 seconds, sprinkle with Butter Buds, and yum, she gobbles it up. We have one last let-out at night, then off to bed with Lexie cuddle right up next to me for a good night’s sleep. It doesn’t get any better than this. Bon soir!
