Many of you know Penny... She has been a part of the Walk the Dog team since 2008 and I couldn't function on a daily basis without her!

I am so excited for her and Jon. As you can see, they are engaged!

Jon proposed at the Hometown Fair this past weekend

(where they met 13 years ago).

Congratulations Penny & Jon!!!

time for some online shopping?!

Just in case your looking for adorable dog/cat related gifts.... You should check out Splendid Paws. Sadly they are closing shop and blowing out their remaining inventory.

My favorite items are the Giraffe pet bed and the puplight.

Prices are marked down 65% so have a look ASAP.

Look who's turning 10!

This sweetie pie is turning 10 soon!

Can you believe it? I can't!

We started walking him 2 years ago and have loved every minute since.

Kind words make us smile

I received a very sweet email today from Riley's mom.... They were daily dog walking clients of ours for the past 2 years and just recently moved to Colorado. The email was very kind & I just have to share part of it! It said:

"Hi Suzanne, I hope all is well. We miss you so much, you have no idea! Riley is actually doing pretty well at the new house. I am on the search for a new dog walker and so far, no luck. They just don't give me the same vide as you and Penny did that first time I met you."

Thank you for the kind words Maggie! We miss you guys too!

Since no blog post is complete without pictures...

Here are some sweeties that we walked today:

VCA Coast Animal Hospital

I am often asked for veterinarian referrals and I figured it was a LONG overdue posting topic...

Back in 2006 (when I started Walk the Dog), I was working part time at the front desk of the VCA Coast Animal Hospital. It was such a great experience for me. I learned so many valuable medical tidbits about vaccinations and countless other lovely bits that come along with being an animal caregiver (like how to avoid parasites: don't let your dog drink from puddles on the ground)...

This is where I met Dr. Jennifer Kitchen. She is just an amazing person and veterinarian. She cares so much for animals and their well being. She's honest and takes the time to explain those crazy medical terms. I highly recommend her! (p.s. they have a new client promo where your first doctors exam is free.)

Dr. Kitchen recently sent me an email about a dangerous cocoa mulch that is sold at Target... Let me know if you'd like the details and I"ll forward her email to you. I know some of you have pets that will eat anything (see photo above, Maggie ate a hole in the stairs back in 2008- no joke), so this might be helpful info!
