    Suzzie the Sheep Dog (and Bunnies, too!)

    What a beautiful and delightful companion we enjoyed in Suzzie, the old English Sheep Dog!  Suzzie is convinced she’s a 90 lb. lap dog, and really, who are we to argue? 🙂

    Caring for Suzzie and her buddies, two male rabbits, Max and Flopsie (aka Mr. Nibbles) while her family enjoyed a 5 week European vacation was a joy. Suzzie loves walks and vigorous games of tug (which is a real workout with 90 pounds of bounding energy on the other end!)

    We were also fortunate the Suzzie’s parents gave us permission to take her with us at times.  Beautiful Mt. Baker in July was a great respite from the heat, for all of us!

    Caring for other animals…

    Besides dogs and cats, we’ve been asked (or wanted) to look after and interact with a broad and interesting variety of other pets, including:

    • Rabbits,
    • Pygmy goats,
    • Chickens, and of course
    • Fish.

    We had the pleasure of interacting with neighboring horses, too!

     

    Our housesitting and petsitting duties extended to caring for and interacting with horses, rabbits, pygmy goats, and chickents, too!
