Royal Treatment Fit For A King Charles Named Vincent

When we walked into Penny the King Charles Cavalier's house on Friday we found a darling boy named Vincent sleeping in her kitchen. No doubt he was dreaming about his much loved humans who chose to put Penny in charge of his care for a few days.

What he didn't know was that Penny hired her dog walker, April, to comfort him with a big hug

and to take her and her guest out for a sniff

followed by a synchronized tour of the neighborhood.

Penny also employed her other dog walker, Amos, and their coon hound, Daisy, to walk along with him.  

And because Penny was such a thoughtful friend to Vinny, she was the first to get a treat and Vinny didn't mind one bit because

he knew his humans chose the right caretaker for him---Penny! 

Has your pooch ever taken care of  friend while his/her owner was away? If so, how did your pooch make his friend feel safe and relaxed? I'd love to read about your stories so please share!

A Penny For A Pet Sitter's Thoughts

Hello there, furends! My name is Penny and I'm really looking forward to seeing my girl, April, in just a few minutes because I've been worried about her because her car got smooshed on Saturday and she is sad about that. Soooo.....I think she's going to need some cheering up and I know exactly how do it.

 As soon as she gets here I am going to tilt my head to the side and say, "I missed you, girl!"

And then I'm going to show her my sad face and say, "I feels your pain, Miss April, but everything is going to be alright."

 And then I'm going to show her my serious face and say, "I will take you for a walk but we are going to take it S-L-O-W fur today."

And when she's about to leave I will try not to cry and I will say, "Please rest up, take 2 aspirins, and I will see you in the morning!"
