Good Morning Pack,

This past Monday I had my finally walking assistance device- my ankle brace removed and I am cleared to return to life as normal with no physical restrictions and am released from the care of my orthopedic team.

The full time job I took did not work out for me for a slew of reasons, I’m currently in second stages of interviewing with several other places. Financially, after my medical emergency in 2022 and my ankle break in June 2026, I absolutely need to do my best to salvage the financial situation I am in and get back on top and can no longer just wait and see how much the pet care company will bring in month to month, especially now since all my clients are displaced to other companies and the service area epicenter has shifted.

I do not know what the future holds for Purrs and Playin’ Paws, it feels ripped away from me without my consent but I will most likely begin the legal process of shutting down the business.

I’m sure this not the updated some wanted to read, but I don’t really have any other options.

Later today I will be posting updated announcements regarding the future of Purrs and Playin’ Paws Pet Care, LLC. The company is still closed through at least September 9th, 2026. I have three more weeks of PT to finish out and (I think) a final ortho appointment September 21st, 2026.

Good Morning Pack,

I wanted to give a heads up that the service area will be changing for M-F and that during the week, I will only be offering dinner visits in the new service area. Dinner visits will start at 4:30pm.

On Saturdays only, I will be serving the current service area and will be open for AM, MIDDAY, DINNER + PM visits.

Overnight care has ceased.

Both of these service areas will be temporary, probably lasting for 6-9 months (give or take) and then a new permanent service area will be established once I am settled into a new home.

Again I’ll post details around Labor Day or maybe a little earlier.

The company is currently closed and will remain closed until at least September 9th, 2026. My next orthopedic appointment is August 26th, 2026. All plans are dependent on that appointment going well.

Hi all,

Have been having a rough week health wise . Having some issues with my left foot since graduating from cast to walking boot. They basically forgot to tell me last kMonday I had to continue to elevate my foot every 2 hours for at least 2 hours and continue to take the aspirin since not 100% weight bearing. I was so excited I could drive and walk with crutches I probably over did it first half of week and didn’t have that information so I had serious blood pooling, discoloration and swelling, last night had numbness, tingling and soreness from foot to above ankle which was brand new in my recovery so the last few days I’ve had to basically be in bed again with foot elevated and staying low key with activity level. Hopefully starting PT this coming week which will be 2x a week for 4-5 weeks. The surgeon does not want me to return to work until after I am evaluated August 26th appointment . I am holding off on any announcements until around that time.
