Adventures In Pet Sitting - Harry & Beau
I'm pleased to introduce Harry and Beau - two new clients!
Harry is a Shih Tzu - German Shepherd mix. He looks mostly like a Shih Tzu, except for his size. He's a good, solid twenty five pounds. Easily double what you'd expect for the breed.
In just a few visits, he's taken the top prize for best walker. He doesn't pull or lag behind and rarely wanders off our route. Best of all, he listens and responds to commands quickly. (Important when we have to deal with traffic.)
This the main view I have of Harry as we walk. Eyes front, ready to go.
It was actually a challenge to get him to stop for a minute and let me take his picture. This is the only shot he'd stand still for - facing me, sort of - before he was back on track and trotting along, going about his business.
Then, we have Beau, who's a Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie). True to the breed, he's bright, bossy, and hilarious. He gets his own separate walk, because he's all over the place. He prefers a random wander around the neighborhood versus a set route. We've worked out a deal to follow the route, if he gets goodies periodically to make it worth his while.
He can be a bit smug when he thinks he's gotten his way...
... and then immediately looks to see if there are any more treats.
Don'tcha know - he got 'em, too. Who could resist that face?
Upvote, ReSteem, 
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Now thats a smug face, looks a right cheeky monkey. Both so cute, never seen a cross GSD and Shihtzu before, he does look well behaved :)
Love those dogs. That little one Beau would take my heart. The other one sounds like a true champ. Let's see what kind of mischief the 3 of you can get into before this gig is up? Lol!
New clients is a good thing. Btw how is your hubby doing? 🐓🐓
Thanks! They are sweeties and fun to hang out with. ;~D
Hubby is doing better, thanks for asking. Getting stronger every day and is more active now than a month ago. Good trends...
You out there aunt-deb? Haven't heard from you in a couple of days. Though it is frustrating to do anything on here, we keep on trying. Just checking in to make sure you and hubby are ok? Your friend. 🐓🐓
Yup, still chuggin' along, thanks! Working mostly - crazy hours. Not much patience left for the gremlins in the system here. Hoping they get it fixed soon.
Hope y'all are well, too!

Hey aunt-deb. Glad things are going ok for you. Check out the new steemit. It does seem to be better. Just in time cause we treasure you on here! It is cold in Florida. Artic blast as promised. Behave and don't over do it. 🐓🐓
Definitely a new look! Seems a little less glitchy, but still having some stalling issues. Haven't had the patience or attention span to post anything but a few comments lately. Hoping to remedy that soon, especially if posting is improving.
Keep warm and pick up a pair of longjohns as a back up. ;~D
Those pups look like fun. So glad your hubby is feeling better. Is it cold there yet? We are supposed to have an artic blast in a couple of days. Lol! 🐓🐓
No cold - yet. Was 80 today, but looking like we're heading for mid 60's soon, which is more normal for this time of year. Sounds like you need to locate your longjohns and have them handy!
80 degrees. It is very warm there. Enjoy it while you can! 🐓🐓
Yeah, I'm guessing it'll be the last one this year. I'm ready for some cooler temps to ease into winter.
I didn't know there was such a thing as a Shih Tzu German Shepherd mix. What an unusual-looking dog! And the Yorkie is stinkin' cute. Have fun with them!
Me neither! First time I've run across that mix, too. He does have some of the Shepherd coloring on his back - almost a caramel color. His coat, however, is pure Shih Tzu. His proportions are perfect which makes his gait so suited to walking. Sweet boy, too. ;~D
Beau is a hoot and he knows it. Lil stinker... ;~P
Thanks and I'll sure do my best. Lol!
