Gabe's smile says it all - happy fall! While I do miss the warm sunshine, fall weather has been long overdue.

In light of recent events and the challenges our nation has faced, my heart feels heavy, and I find it important to take a moment to share a message that is central to who I am as a small business owner.

At Rachel's Cozy Critter Care, LLC, I believe in the values that make this country strong —freedom, equality, and respect for all. I stand by the principles that:

•All individuals are welcome here. I am committed to treating each person with fairness and respect, regardless of s*x, race, religion, political affiliation, or personal beliefs. I am eager to learn and encourage sharing who you are!

•Hatred has no place in our community. I respect everyone's right to their opinions, but ask that these differences be expressed in a manner that is respectful, considerate, and rooted in love. Even when expressing tough love, it’s important to approach one another with kindness and dignity.

I stand firm in creating a welcoming and safe environment for everyone. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to continue growing in this great country, and am proud to serve with integrity and compassion.

Thank you for your continued support. My heart aches for the families that have lost loved ones out of hatred, no matter who they are.

With love and unity,

-Rachel, a daughter of the King of Kings

Please join me in congratulating Olivia!

She may look familiar, as she has assisted with peak sitting times these last couple of years. Without her help for your and my own pets I wouldn't have been able to provide as many bookings at one time. This chapter has come to an end, however, as she is pursuing her own dreams!

Dr. Olivia Semrau, Physical Therapist, ventures out of state in September to start treating patients. She is very excited to explore different states in her traveling career, meet new people, and escape the cold winters of Michigan.

It is bittersweet seeing her go, but it has been a pleasure and the opportunity of a lifetime to live with and work beside her during our adult lives.

No matter how far you go, you will always have a place here at Rachel's Cozy Critter Care, LLC.

On a hot walk like today, it's good practice to bring:
•Water pack
•Water for the doggo
•Poop bags
•Treats
•Sunglasses
•Sunscreen
•And a smile!

Please also remember asphalt is HOT! It can cause damage to your pet's paws, so avoid it whenever possible. If it's uncomfortable to your touch, it's even worse on their paws!

Siri and I did a quick walk through the neighborhood and she had many enriching smells.

Bear was my test subject, and it was a success.

Should I make more Meme Monday posts?!

I thoroughly enjoy seeing pictures from your vacations; hanging out with your loved ones is a vacation in and of itself for me!

My apologies for delayed responses...

My Little Lion Man,
I'm going to miss your awkward leg stretches post-surgery, your attempts to trip me while running for food, your puffy tail after your haircuts, your little "Where's Thor Baby?" hiding spot game, your annoying desire to eat silicone and whatever else you decided tasted good that shouldn't, the cute fashionista sweaters you wore during the cold months, the snuggle-filled sleepovers, your possessive growl when "killing" your prey (string toy), you skiiiiiiirting across the carpet when I would brush you because it felt so good, your insane skill of absolutely soaking a cat nip toy from slobbering all over it, your "Skitty Kitty" behavior, your vibrating purr, your drooling smile while getting ear scratches...you.

"Noah's Ark should've had a cat like you...
There is not one hair of you
That I would rearrange
I love you the way you are
And that will never change
That will never change" -The Cat's Meow

Sleep well, Gentle Giant

Kristil and I spent the morning watching different canines compete at the UKC Dog Show. It was a paw-some time!
