Tipli, Hupi, and Kitu
22 Jul 2010
I don’t believe I mentioned to you about having some minor outpatient surgery (just a finger) scheduled for today. I made every attempt to mention it to each client that booked, but I think I forgot to tell you as you booked long before I scheduled the surgery. The reason I wanted to tell clients is I had to have my husband drive me to my pet visits for the day, so the intention was for him to wait in the car unless I needed help. He does help me when needed (rare occasions) and he also has dogs that he walks daily for the business.
For your home, he did assist with watering the front plants. I could have done it myself, but by the time I got out the door with the dogs he had them watered and was proceeding with watering the shrubs. He loves his garden hose. 
He also went on our walks with us due to my not taking well to the anesthesia (he was afraid I would stumble and fall…such a caring guy). Hupi wasn’t crazy about this additional member of our party, but Tipli was fine with it after one sniff of him. I gave him Tipli’s leash and all was well. I did attempt partway through to hand off Hupi’s leash, but the moment she realized I wasn’t the leader she put on the brakes. 
We switched quickly, but I thought it was tad funny. One of my pups has those minor insecurities as well, so we are well-versed in this canine behavior.
Sorry I didn’t let you know sooner, but I did try to keep his participation as non-invasive as possible. He thought your pups were gorgeous, even though I told him beforehand that they were. He won’t be going for any remaining visits as I’ll be cleared to drive tomorrow morning.
How did I garner so much attention? Love it!
