Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): February 2010

http://petsittingportland.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Halo, a great alternative to Pet Promise. Many pet guardians (including myself, and some of my clients) are dismayed that Pet Promise is going out of business. That information was first leaked on Dr. Andrew Weil's website; he has been their spokesperson. In the Portland area, you can still find a few cans and bags at Freddie's, now reduced.

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): Small Dogs v. Larger Breeds

http://petsittingportland.blogspot.com/2013/07/small-dogs-v-larger-breeds.html

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Small Dogs v. Larger Breeds. As I was walking Beanie today (adorable, small Pomeranian-Poodle) these thoughts came to mind. They don't eat much, they eliminate less, so there's less to pick up. And, they often maintain a cute "puppy" like appearance into adulthood. Are you a fan of small or large dogs? I would love to hear from you. I love both for different reasons, but at this point in my life Im ...

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): Cats & Renal Disease

http://petsittingportland.blogspot.com/2013/08/cats-renal-disease.html

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Monday, August 12, 2013. Cats and Renal Disease. My Porter was diagnosed with renal failure. I thought we were at death's door, but at the advice of a friend in the medical profession, I cancelled the appointment for euthansia, and decided to let him die at home, after she assured me it's not a painful death. Yet no one seems to know what can prevent it. Here's Porter after he sampled my lunch! Cats and Renal Disease.

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): April 2009

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Monday, April 13, 2009. City Dogs, City Cats. Spring is here, and dogs and cats are everywhere. Responsible pet guardians make good neighbors. Those with and without pets can co-exist peacefully. Let’s review some guidelines for keeping dogs and cats safe in the city. Outdoor pet cats exercise their wanderlust and hunting skills, even when well fed. Keep identification and a bell on your cat’s collar. Remember,...Rescue grou...

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): Today is the Feast of St. Francis of Assissi

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Friday, October 4, 2013. Today is the Feast of St. Francis of Assissi. St Francis is known by many as the Patron Saint of Animals. You don't have to be Catholic to relate to St. Francis. I'm not. But I find myself praying to him when an animal is in need of comfort or healing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Loving Wyatt and Frida since 2004! July 2008, photo by their Mom, Susan.

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Satya — how could a creature so lovely suddenly metamorphose into a hissing, growling spitfire? Her family tells me she is really very sweet. I’m sure she is, with them. Evening arrived, and I had not made progress getting the second medicine into her, though she gladly ate the first medicine, disguised in (yummy! Sunday morning dawned, and apprehensive about the visit, I said a prayer to Mother/Fa...

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Monday, August 11, 2008. Great new product: The Furminator! What it can't do is to eliminate those nasty knots; they still need to be cut out with scissors. Yep, The Furminator is pricey, but well made and effective. You can find it in Portland at Freddie's and most pet supply stores. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Loving Wyatt and Frida since 2004! July 2008, photo by their Mom, Susan.

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Monday, March 15, 2010. Maybe some animals are born with an anxiety gene? So there was Ms. Amy cowering, and she was NOT buying my gentle assurances that I LOVE kitties! Then came the feeding challenge. Amy had a 45 minute window of opportunity to eat her food (actually,they both did) before it needed to be removed. Gina, who loves to eat, would eat Amy's food, too, if she could. That. There's a one word answer: Porter. ...

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present): Greyhounds: A Breed Apart

http://petsittingportland.blogspot.com/2013/08/greyhounds-species-apart.html

Pet Sitting Portland (2004 to present). Elizabeth Fischer, The Pet Professional. Friday, August 2, 2013. Greyhounds: A Breed Apart. Most greyhounds, like Leo, have a difficult time being alone. His way of stalling a return to his condo is to lay down on the grass in the middle of a walk. When greyhound rescue had a kennel for greyhounds for adoption at the Greyhound racetrack, Lyn and I walked them on Saturdays. This is a breed that I hope to adopt or foster one day. They are wonderful. Anyway, I appreci...
