Still in Seoul
A mix dog. Only 6 month.
Last evening in the UK
. It has been a whirlwind (4 months in the Uk) of wonder and these past two weeks I made effort to connect with my long term repeat hosts and dearest friends. 8 sits from London to Wales.
I month In Portugal, 1 sit in Spain.
I am blessed beyond words.
18 cats, 12 sheep, 2 dogs, 2 pheasants, one fox, countless birds and beautiful flowers.
Thank you.
and a dove in … a pear tree.

I’m just finishing up a week in the high desert of Arizona with these two loving fur heads.
It’s been great, and we’ve all been enjoying the cooler temperatures. We’ve been able to keep the back door open all day, allowing the dogs to come and go as they please.
We’ve also been getting used to using a Thundershirt, which members here recommended, as localized storms have rumbled through.
Forgot to mention bats ![]()

What beautiful cats—very Egyptian looking; especially the first one.
I just completed a lovely house/pet sit in a wooded area outside of Sebastopol, CA. After leaving my small MidCentury home in Ventura, I was a bit taken back by being alone in a beautiful 3000 sq foot home on 5 acres. Thankfully, Chloe, the Labradoodle was excellent company and though beyond sweet and friendly, could pack a loud bark when critters or people came on to the property. She liked a lot of exercise which was fine with me. We had many adventures to nearby parks, hikes and the beach. Meanwhile a lovely TH couple was at my house spoiling my active little poodle mutt, Shula. In the last photo, Jen and Scott were “on their way” to pick me up at the Airporter Shuttle.
@ShulasMom - Yes, the first cat is often mistaken to have Egyptian origins . However the breed is an Abyssinian and originated from southeast Asia - The second cat is an Ocicat and is the result of many years ago breeding a Siamese with a Abyssinian. Both were beautiful cats with great temperaments .
@ShulasMom - I sat a cat trio on a wooded property west of Sebastopol a few weeks back. The cats were indoor only so couldn’t enjoy the time on the deck with me. Did you get to Florence Ave to see the sculpture?
I’d be happy to do a return sit to the area!

I’ve swopped wet and grey Scotland for dull and grey London but hey I have also gained little Miss Teazel … first time we looked after her she was just 6 months old, now 9 and apart from COVID times, we have looked after her every summer while Mom, Dad and the girls go “home” to MA USA :Not sure if it was lockdown times but this cat who would use you as a pin cushion at the drop of some cat nip is now lovable and even gives kisses … mellowing with age perhaps or been put in her place by the prickly evening visitors heart_eyes_cat: ![]()
Only downside of this sit … we are in the direct flightpath of London Heathrow … flights begin at 4.30 amd and stop at around 1.30 am, no amount of Sound Proofing would help
We’ve had over 100km per hour winds here in West Gippsland, Victoria so we’ve been out checking fences to make sure no gum tree branches have come down that will let the cattle in from next door. We got excited yesterday when it got to 16 degrees and sunny (our warmest day in 3 weeks) but we were still dressed in merino base layers, polar fleece jackets and beanies! We figure the sun has a long way to travel south to us so that’s why 16 here feels so much colder than 16 at home in Brisbane ![]()
Our menagerie is doing really well. Lila the ragdoll and I have been enjoying the Commonwealth Games in the early mornings, watching the Aussie Dolphins swim team take home their huge haul of gold medals. We introduced Cara the Australian Shepherd to carrot lollipops (she is a garbage guts). She wasnt sure at first and then she loved it! Our horse Charlotte comes running for her apple or carrot pieces which disguise her daily tablet and our 3 chooks have increased their productivity from 2 eggs per day to 3 eggs.
We have also been on some beautiful drives and bush walks close by, had lunch out at some great places and tried many local wines.
Life is pretty good!
