One phrase that makes my dogs jump, run and even yelp is “who wants to go for a walk?!” And I take them out for at least one most every day.
During a recent walk, a random SUV stopped across the way from me and called out for me. I paused my podcast to approach the woman, who turned out to be the owner of Daisy’s Pet Sitting / Dog Walking.
She offered up her business card in case I’d ever need a dog walker. I politely declined, but took her card anyway, for a number of reasons.
- Walking my dogs is my way of spending quality time with them.
- Their reaction to wanting to go for a walk makes my day and it gives me such pleasure to see them excited.
- If I would need someone to watch my dogs, I would probably go with K9 Resorts again instead of having them left alone for a majority of the day.
- I would find it hard to trust someone who would have keys to our house & didn’t know on a personal level.
- I don’t see anything online about this specific company including reviews or even a website.
Number 4 is probably the biggest one in my book because I love my dogs too much to depend on someone with no online reputation. I barely want to leave them alone for too long, but I know they’re good with one another.
I also noticed the name of the woman I spoke to was Doris Cistrelli, not Daisy. Perhaps Daisy is an ode to a pet or child, but Doris is so close to Daisy that I’d just go with Doris’s Pet Sitting / Dog Walking.
But alas, that is not my business. I was merely the victim of a drive-by dog walker. Doris seemed like a nice lady based on the 1-minute interaction I had with her, so hopefully she has a good clientele and the animals she cares for are treated well.
The care of the animals is of the utmost importance. They count on us humans to be good to them, which is what I strive to do with my dogs every day. They just melt my heart.
My last blog post talked about adopting a beautiful dog named Winnie, who has become a part of our family already, from 
She was described by Bonnie’s Animal Rescue Kingdom as:
We’ve been looking to adopt another dog for about a month or two. I looked into 
One of the few dogs they had was a beautiful girl named Winnie. She’s 1 year old and she’s a mix between a Jack Russell terrier and a hound who recently arrived from South Carolina. Levi came from Georgia, so it’s a thing that dogs come up from the south to get rescued.
I was so excited to take Winnie home to see how my significant other and kids would react to her. The camera phone was rolling and everybody fell in love with her like I did.
And she loves going outside, resulting in Levi going outside with her. They played really rough with their teeth, ending up with us having to separate them. I learned that Jack Russell terriers are very hyper dogs and Winnie fits the bill.
I’ve always wanted an authentic Philly cheesesteak and remembered that there were 2 particular places that were known as the best: Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s Steaks.
I tried the whole plastic bag treatment as a temporary fix as I drove home from Philadelphia to no avail. I did not use the right type of tape since I didn’t want my car’s paint to come off from using duct tape.
Politics is a world I’ve never really held too much interest in, until Donald Trump became President. But I’ve seen some political-related business cards in my collecting time.
Anytime you involve the police with something, you know a lawyer is not far behind. And the experience I had at 
The last time I made a major vehicle purchase with my Nissan Sentra, I got into a fender bender a few months into owning it. And why would that be any different for my Dodge Grand Caravan?
Delta Collision is a bit of a ways away from me in Matawan NJ, but it makes handling the claim a lot easier. As does the fact that the driver also had my insurance.
I explained in a 
That’s when I decided to go to Bank of America (where I bank) to do it. I met with Africa Becerra and we discussed the notarization process and of course there was another obstacle.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) is probably the scariest thing our country has experienced since 9/11 and the world has experienced since the Spanish flu (influenza) pandemic of 1918. In fact, it killed young siblings of my great grandmother.
In my most recent blog post, I spoke about taking a trip to the 
And I got some roasted veggies, classic hummus with cucumbers and baked falafel with tzatziki sauce on the side to round out the meal. And the sauce I got to complement these shish kabobs was a Israeli skhug, which is comprised of olive oil, chili peppers, garlic & a variety of spices.
