2,425 Visits…and Summer Isn't Over Yet!

As our busy summer season begins to wind down, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible Paula's Pet Sitting team.

Since Memorial Day weekend, our pet sitters have completed 2,425 pet visits—with another 1,000+ expected before Labor Day!

Behind every one of those visits is a dedicated sitter providing love, care and attention to someone's much-loved pet. And behind the scenes, Amy keeps an enormous number of schedules, changes and details moving every single day.

To our pet sitters and Amy: thank you. Your dedication, hard work and commitment to our clients and their pets is what makes PPS what it is.

And to our clients—if we've cared for your pets this summer and you've been happy with our services, would you consider leaving us a Google review?

Your kind words truly are our best advertising and help other Midland pet families feel confident trusting us with their own pets and homes.

Thank you for continuing to trust and support our team!

Legend tells of a time when the forests were young...

Before fences marked the land and before people welcomed dogs to their fires, the dogs belonged to the deep woods.

In those days, they were said to travel where few creatures dared to go. When danger found them, they did not flee across the earth—they climbed toward the sky.

With four strong paws and one small hidden claw, they gripped the rough bark of ancient trees and climbed beyond the reach of their enemies. It was the smallest claw that held the greatest secret, for while the others pushed, the little claw clung tightly to the tree.

Seasons passed. The forests changed. Dogs chose to walk beside people instead of wandering alone, and the old climbing paths were forgotten.

Only the little claw remained—a quiet reminder of a story carried by the wind from a time no one now remembers.
..

Of course... that's only a legend.

But admit it—you read the whole thing wondering if maybe it was true.

So why is it called a dewclaw?

No one knows for certain, but the most widely accepted explanation is that this little claw sits higher up on the leg, where it doesn't usually touch the ground. Early naturalists believed it was the only claw that became wet with morning dew as a dog walked through tall grass—while the other toes stayed on the ground below. Whether that's exactly how the name originated has been debated, but it's the explanation most commonly accepted today.

The real purpose of the dewclaw is much less mysterious. It actually helps provide stability when dogs run, make sharp turns, climb uneven terrain, or hold objects with their front paws. In many dogs, it's still connected by bone and tendons and serves an important function.

Sometimes the stories we believe turn out to be fiction.

The same thing can happen with pet care.

"We'll just have the neighbor stop over."

"My teenager said they'd handle it."

"My friend loves animals."

Sometimes those plans work out perfectly.

Sometimes they fall apart after the flights are booked, the cruise has sailed, and you're hundreds of miles from home.

When your pets are counting on someone, having a dependable professional pet sitter can make all the difference. Whether it's us or another reputable professional pet sitting company, having a reliable backup plan is one of the best gifts you can give yourself—and your pets.

Your pets deserve a plan you can count on. 🐾

Every walk is a chance to appreciate the world our pets love most. 🌿🐾

Today, on World Nature Conservation Day, we're reminded that even small actions make a difference. Whether it's picking up after our dogs, staying on the trails, or simply taking a moment to enjoy a quiet walk with a happy pup, caring for nature helps protect the places our pets love to explore.

At Paula's Pet Sitting, we're grateful that our job allows us to spend each day outdoors with some amazing four-legged friends. Thank you for trusting us to care for your pets—and the world they enjoy.

What's your pet's favorite outdoor adventure?

Thank you to Pet Sitter Emily for the super cute pic of our Pet Cient Vada!
