Maple and I encountered a record number of deer on our walk this morning, perhaps six or eight?

Such devastating news out of New York :(

We are devastated by the heartbreaking passing of Chris Arsenault and the many cats lost in the fire at Happy Cat Sanctuary. A true champion for homeless cats, Chris’s unwavering love and dedication gave countless animals a second chance.

We also mourn the innocent lives lost and are grateful to those caring for the surviving cats. North Shore Animal League America stands ready to assist in rescue efforts in any way.

Chris’s legacy will live on in every life he saved. Rest in peace, Chris. Your compassion will never be forgotten. 🕊️🐾

Charlie has been a snuggle bug all day today. It’s been rough, I tell ya.

Best time of night and petsitting… settled in and snuggling.

Emergency petsit up in Grand Marais. Arrived last night and right now, we’re experiencing a thunderstorm. These are my usual characters that are always clamoring and fighting over my lap. Well, the thunder and lightening has made it much worse. Seems my big doggies are scared of this stuff! I’m not sure how we’re going to fit three dogs on my lap but we’re going to try as I am their protector.

Your pets are more resilient than you think.

A cat thought to have died in the Los Angeles wildfires in January proved that there may be some merit to the saying that the animal has nine lives after all.

Good morning! I’ve been walking this pup for the past week and we encounter these three deer (or their fresh droppings) every morning. Today I finally caught them on camera.
