Doggies and kitties who love me

When my friend goes on vacation I say and watch the apartment and kitty Grub, who also has a brother and sister kitty I watch as well. (Fun fact: 3 cats seem to make 9 times the poop!) Whenever I walk in Grub runs right over to give me kisses and face bumps.

Here's Pippi saying, "Yay, Tony's here!" Pippi was a puppy mill rescue and due to his dark past is very nervous and wary of new people. But after one afternoon visit he trusted me and even offered his belly...the ultimate sign of trust! Pippi's family have had me stay in their NYC Hell's Kitchen apartment 3 times for 2 weeks each, taking care of the place and Pippi and their plants while they went on vacation. 

I've looked after Moonpie maybe 5 times, ever since he was a kitten. When the family goes on vacation I go over twice daily and feed and play with him, giving him all the necessary scritches. Moonpie is a nervous cat (growing up with rambunctious and special needs children), but he trusts me enough to flop right at feet, asking for belly rubs!

Bella's mommy is a lawyer who travels on business for work. I've stayed watching her home and Bella 3 times. Bella loves to go for walks along Riverside Park where she can see and be seen! I met Bella's mommy when I worked for her organizing and decluttering her apartment...see my "Organization" page!

Whenever Bea's parents go on vacation, they have me come stay with her and watch over things. I've stayed with Bea 5 times, usually for a week at a time. Bea was such an affectionate and trusting kitty. Sadly, Bea has crossed the Rainbow Bridge (but not on my watch!)

Here are Grub and his brother, Smudge and Leonard. I managed to get them all in one shot! 

Don't you love her fangs? Alexei is very trusting of me after I've stayed with her and her brother while their daddy goes off on his vacations. I've stayed with them many times over the years...probably at least 15 times by now!

Chili is an older rescue dog who was very leery at first, but as you can see, after one afternoon, I was able to earn her trust enough for her to offer me her most treasured toy...her pink bone! I've stayed with her a number of time for a week each time when her performer parents went off to work on a cruise ship!

Can't post more pet stories...Chili needs her walk!
