Do You Wonder What To Use To Clean Up Pet Stains?

I was recently watching a show that featured a veterinarian.  He was asked what he recommended for pet stains and flea treatment.  I can't remember what he said about the flea treatment, but he did say it was a pill which was better than making a big mess all over your pet's back.  If I can ever remember what it was called, I will let you know. 

The two products the vet mentioned for pet stain removal are called "Eewww", and "Safe Paws".  I haven't used either one yet, but I want to try them, because I usually use Nature's Wonder, but it doesn't seem to work as well as it used to, or maybe I am not using it properly anymore.  At any rate, if you aren't satisfied with whatever product you have been using, try one of these 2 mentioned above.  I hope they work for you.  Good Luck, Punkie

Hotel Pet Sitting Service Available

I just realized I had forgotten to mention on my website that I offer pet sitting services to people who are visiting Sonoma County to go sightseeing, wine tasting, or for special events like weddings. 

I cannot board pets overnight where I am staying right now.  I usually watch your pets for the day while you are out having fun.  We go for walks in the country, play in a park, or on nice weather days, we go to the beach.  Then I meet back up with you to drop your poochie woochie off to you for the night.  I do watch poochie woochies into the evening hours, as well.  I realize not all events end at dark.  I know it is hard to leave your baby at home, even for a short trip, but a lot of hotels do not want you to leave your pet alone in the hotel room, and your pooch becomes anxious in a strange environment.  I offer free pick up and drop off service so that you can get on your way quicker, instead of trying to find me, and get lost in the process, wasting precious time that can be better spent sightseeing. 

I have tried to leave my brochures in hotel lobbies, but one hotel told me that they could not recommend pet sitting services.  One client I pet sat for said he was here to attend a wedding.  He told his friends what he did with his dog, and his friends said that if they had known about me, they would have brought their poochie woochies too. 

I know how hard it is to leave your poochie woochie at home when you are taking a short trip.  This service allows you to get away for some relaxation and not have to worry about who is going to watch your poochie woochie.  You don't have to worry about leaving them in a hot car either.  After all of the dogs being stolen from cars lately, this is not a good solution.


I charge $40 a day for this service.  The fee may be slightly higher if there is more than one poochie woochie.  So, the next time you are visiting Sonoma County, bring your poochie woochie along and contact Poochie Woochie Pet Sitting Service. 

We can be reached at poochiewoochie@yahoo.com, or you can find our telephone number on the website at http://www.poochiewoochie.net  We look forward to serving you soon. 

Happy Spring!  Happy Traveling!

A Special Thank You I Received And Will Always Cherish

I mentioned in late summer that I had lost my first poochie woochie friend.  During the Christmas season I was really missing her, so I knew that her owners must be feeling even more sad than I was, because this  would be their first Christmas without their baby.  I wrote to the owners to let them know I felt their pain.  I wanted them to know I missed their baby as much as they did.  She was a special poochie woochie.  I received a Christmas card back with a message I wasn't expecting, but I appreciated so much.  It is the same message I receive from one client afte another.  It proved to me that I am on the right track, that I chose the right way to serve people since I could no longer be a teacher.  Here is an excerpt from the card, "Dear Georgia and Rosie....you  provide such a wonderful service to all who need your help during this time of the year and all year through.  We always felt Callie was in such good hands and loving hands.  We never worried about her when we left her with you.  Thank you so much for all the years of service and love you provided for us and Callie.  Callie was so lucky to have you and Rosie for her buddies....  Susan and Gib


When I first started watching Callie, I spent the night with her at her home.  I loved it there, because her owners had a beautiful home, a beautiful flower garden, and a beautiful view of Mount Saint Helena.  Eventually, I started boarding at my home, so Callie came to stay with me there.  This picture of her is when she greeted me the minute I pulled into the driveway.  She was always ready to climb into my car.  I would let her in, and then go get the things I needed for her stay with Rosie and I.  She was the best poochie woochie anyone could ask for.  We all miss you so.
