This right here is why I love what I do. 🥹🐾
For nearly a week, I spent time with this sweet girl every evening. Not because her parents were gone yet, but because we had something very important to accomplish first - earning her trust. ❤️
She’s an anxious girl who would much rather hide when she’s unsure of someone. And since she needs injections while her parents travel, simply showing up and hoping she’d let me give them wasn’t an option.
So we took our time. I sat with her. Loved on her. Let her come to me on her terms. No rushing, no forcing. Just patience, consistency, and lots of reassurance.
And now? 🥹 This is how she greets me. She comes over ready to cuddle up close, get some love, and comfortably lets me give her injections.
THIS is pet care. ❤️
It’s not always just feeding, walking, and letting dogs outside. Sometimes it’s taking the extra time to understand an animal who can’t tell us with words that they’re scared. It’s building enough trust that they feel safe with us and giving their owners the peace of mind to leave knowing their baby is comfortable, loved, and getting the care she needs.
Knowing her parents can enjoy their trip without worrying about whether she’ll hide from me or whether I’ll be able to give her medication makes every evening I spent earning this sweet girl’s trust 100% worth it.
And I think the cuddles mean she agrees. 🥰🐾❤️
