A wet day in Portugal so some editing fun

2025 Pet Sitting Recap

Thanks for sharing @Oztravels - hope you don’t mind I’ve embedded the video in your post :slight_smile:

Wow! That was a pretty fast video. It would be nice to hear which countries and cities you visited

Oh what a wonderful video with so many lovely animals. And an owl. Amazing

Thank you. In all transparency the owl was not a pet but at a medieval market nearby the sit. . https://youtu.be/bTYAF3I3XfU

Yes, I was wondering about the owl! Thanks for telling. Great creative video! I also wondered: did this dog really liked a raw carrot? Or was it cooked?

They loved the raw carrot. We learnt the carrot trick by a fluke. I was cutting carrots one night for dinner and dropped one. The dog we were sitting swooped on it (Beagle so you know the end result :joy:). Anyway after an initial panicked google search “have I killed the dog with carrots “ and realising carrots were ok we started giving carrots as snacks, often to the wonderment of the owners who had no idea.

I sat a Border terrier twice (sadly since died) who had a carrot every day as a snack. If I forgot he would remind me

@EmilyDickinson I’ve sat numerous dogs whose favourite treats are carrots. My nephew’s 2 labradors love their broccoli “tree” for lunch.

Hihi. Tried the carrot trick with a doggie here. Nope. Looks at me with a dog-face like: “Really?” Dogs are so funny.

Lots of dogs really love carrots, but some are bewildered if they have never been offered anything like that before!
