Welcome to the Pet Mom blog page!




WELCOME!

I am so glad that you've come to visit! I was hoping you might stop by today! I just love it when friends drop by. I'll put on the kettle and make us a cup of tea, maybe a glass of wine is your thing and we can have a good chat about anything and everything, like our pets, our gardens, our families or anything else on your mind.

If you can't stay long this time I hope you'll come again. Thanks for visiting!

English Bull Dogs For Sale SCAM

To my amazement, the local newspaper called me wondering about my ad for an English Bulldog for sale. A "Carla Bailey" wanted to run an ad with MY petsitting phone number attatched with my billing address (which the paper has on file), at least the classified people called me!!!! "Carla" listed an e-mail address, hoping some greedy sucker would write for $400 English Bull. They usually run $1200-$2500.................."Carla" is probably from Nigeria.

  1. Wow! You have to be so careful. The world's full of greedy jerks out for quick money. Plus, don't forget the people who adopt pets and have no idea how to care for them. Many of my furry clients are rescue pets.

    How is your pet sitting business doing? I've been sitting for almost eight years now myself. Here in New England, I've seen a reduction of requests lately due to the economy. People have cut back on walking services and travel.

  2. Hi there, some months are busier than ever, some slower. Yes, people have cut back. I figure if they want quality, they will use me. The $10 per visit people can pay the neighbor kid that may or may not even show up!!
    Have a great day!
