Wanted dog walker, friend
Occasionally we have a day where Shan is on a long day shift and Patrick is stuck on big job he can't leave at lunch, and our teens are at school. We are thinking about getting someone in during the day to let Otto out, and give him at least 30 min of play or walking. We also have a elderly dog.
The right person must be experienced with bull breeds and confident with all dogs and have the ability to be firm when out walking.
Both our dogs are beautiful and friendly but do have some health/pain issues.
Disclaimer: our property has full security camera coverage so if you don't like the thought you are always on camera while here this job is not for you. We like to be open about cameras to protect our home, family, dogs and business.
Thanks Shan and Patrick
Baby knitting
At night while watching TV I knit baby cardys, bootees, beanies and have a couple of bags that I would like to donate to a worthy cause. It is all wool and would range from newborn to about 6mths old.
Would anyone have any suggestions for a place that would appreciate it.
