My daughter and son-in-law have spoken for a long time about this wonderful cat sitter they employ while taking trips out of town. His name is Steve.
Well, something I’ve found to be really ‘good’ for my heart is knowing that Max-man is getting one really GOOD walk each day.So, I went to the Red Rover Pet Care website and decided to ask Steve if he had time in his day to meet with Max. Servicing clients in the south, Steve said, “Yes,” and this experience has been amazing for Max and for me.
I treasure my connection with Max. Typically, we share wonderful times twice a day exploring nature and being outdoors in every type of weather. It’s been a huge frustration to let go of that connection. Unable to be off leash due to his knee injury, Steve gives Max an athletic walk on leash each day and returns after an hour with a very happy border collie! Knowing that your dog-friend is well cared for eases frustration and brings peace of mind. I have learned that if a friend is injured, I can support them by caring for their dog-friends.
These photos were snapped after speaking the words, “Max, Steve is coming.” Other dog-walkers for Max’s second walk these last many days…I appreciate you with all of my heart…Cayley, James, Erin and Doug.
If you are looking for quality care for your pets and you are living way out in these southern ‘burbs…Kim and Steve are the people for you!
An hour long walk…and ten minutes later.
I’ll go along with any recommendation from Max. It’s a shame that Steve lives so far away from here… I would be very glad to have him watch Nechama from time to time.
The heartbreaking eternal sense of hope that dogs have deep in their dna can bring me to tears. The joy they demonstrate at being reconnected does make me long to be the person that my dog thinks that I am!
Take care, Kath and Max.
You know this journey all too well…you understand this particular kind of loyalty and exuberance. I’m sending all my love to you, Hollee and Gucci.
