Happy “Gotcha Day” to our sweet boy Leo! He has come so far in six years, from a timid bag of bones to a sassy couch hog- and I hardly remember what it was like before him!

The “no dogs on the couch” rule seems to be working well….

This is our newest walking client, Winston. He is a 4 month old Bernedoodle/baby shark.
Still learning that hands are not for eating and legs are not for hu***ng. His favorite things are sticks, stuffies and rabbit p**p- not necessarily in that order. 😂

A PSA- because we love all the dogs, no matter their color or where they came from- but there are some that still break our hearts when we meet them.

This weekends intakes, and many of the subsequent comments and emails, tell me we need to have a chat.

Meet one of our newest friends. As you can see, she has a particular coat pattern known as merle, and light colored eyes. She also appears to be an English Bulldog. We also took in several bulldogs of the French variety, all in shades of “Bulldogs don’t come in these colors”.

And there are many of you who keep saying- they look like my dog. And while I hope that ALL of you adopted those dogs, I know that many of you did not. Meaning- that you financially supported the type of abusive and neglectful breeding practices that are becoming ever popular in an attempt to keep up with the demand for unethically bred bulldog mixes in ✨fancy colors✨that led to creating a dog so unhealthy, he couldn’t even survive an hour long car ride to freedom.

So while I think it’s great that you want to adopt one of our dogs, I also want you to realize that these dogs exist, and the breeders who abuse them exist, because you’re keeping them in business.

French and English Bulldogs don’t come in merle. Or fluffy. Or platinum. Or Isabella. Or black and tan. Or tri color. These are poorly bred, mixed breed dogs whose health was sacrificed in an effort to produce pretty dogs in fancy colors.

Every day dogs die due to human ignorance and greed. Puppy mills stay in business because the public is funding them. Please do better.

Touta and Artemis are new WoofWatchers clients and were a joy to take care of last week, although Jodi is demanding hazard pay after being gassed awake by Artemis, who may have some issues with respecting personal space….

Barry and I stopped to admire the temporary art installation at the Lodge in Old Trail- he thinks it is almost as handsome as he is! This statue is being auctioned off with proceeds going to Service Dogs of Virginia- what a beautiful way to memorialize a friend that crossed the rainbow bridge, while also supporting a great cause!

Barry: “Get dat b***y! Cmon… do it!”

Also Barry: “Launch sequence activated!”

Maisie and Agatha are new to both Crozet and WoofWatchers! We had so much fun taking care of them last weekend!

We do pet sitting and dog walking in Crozet- we are not currently accepting new overnight clients, but are accepting new clients for walks and drop in visits. Please contact us at WoofWatchersCrozet if you are interested in our services!

Just another reminder about keeping your pets safe during the heat- dogs especially have a harder time staying cool as they do not sweat!
