Another year is upon us. I hope this one see’s more people getting back to work and the economy stabilizing.
I know it is has affected all of us. The trickle down effect, so to speak. January is always a slow time in retail and business, so it gives me time to reflect and re-organize my priorities.
One of those is how to market my business via the internet. I am an avid user and believer in technology. There really isn’t anything I do not do these days that doesn’t require me to be on the computer or my smart phone. I blog, twitter and facebook all in the name of getting my business out there to my clients and also to new clients. Becoming more efficient and available for my established clients is another important area for me.
In the coming year, I am going to find news ways in which I can reach pet owners through the web. Since dog walking and pet sitting for me is only a ten mile radius, it make the demographics of study a bit challenging.
I guess you could say this is my New Years resolution. I think we all need something to work towards.
To my established clients, I thank you and I will be working hard at making your experience with my business even better.

Today as I read the various news articles on the internet I came across an interesting tid bit that few owners might not be aware of.
Take from a direct quote Howstuffworks.com some veterinarians say dogs and cats can suffer from depression and seperation anxiety when they are left alone during the day or night. Studies show the more than 10 million dogs in the US suffer from separation anxiety. They even go on to say that birds do as well. This seems likely as birds are such social animals.
If you think your dog is acting out, chewing, peeing, or listless when you leave and then come back, this may be one of the causes.
It is another reason why hiring a pet sitter is becoming more and more popular among pet owners. It is one of the reasons I recommend checking out a pet sitter or even for the matter, if your dog can handle it, a kennel. Never leave for an extended period of time without first attempting one of these solutions.
Your dog, cat or bird will thank you for it.
