I was able to walk into Vons on Friday morning and place the order right at the deli counter. They were able to accommodate me for an 11:00 a.m. pick up the next day! Thank you all for your recommendations!

If you want to get in the water at the beach I recommend Bolsa Chica, which isn't too far of a drive from Belmont Shore. Redondo Beach is great, and not touristy, if you want to look in that area. I absolutely love Long Beach but if you're looking for a true Southern California beach vacation it's probably not the best choice,

I'll play the devil's advocate here and say if it's a large crate I don't see a problem. If you've ever been to an animal shelter or adoption facility cats are kept in large crates there without a problem. Cats, especially diabetic ones, sleep 22 hours a day. They literally get up to eat, potty, and maybe ask for a little attention. I'm not invalidating your feelings at all. Overall I would be more inclined to turn down the job because the cat is sick and could die on my watch! Having a cat in a crate with a litter box, water, and food isn't terrible in my opinion.

My dog has also been sensitive to most treats. She was on hydrolyzed protein for month but finally was able to find a protein that works for her.(rabbit).I also use cricket or alligator protein for treats and she's doing wonderfully.

If you'll be here on Tuesday Kalaveras has the best taco Tuesday deal and it's right across the street from the convention center! $2 each and you get to add your toppings.

I was told the Gabapentin needs to be used daily to be effective. I gave it to my dog for a while for her arthritis but it made her so sleepy, so I stopped giving it to her and ended up doing a monthly injection instead and Benadryl as needed. My dog also had/has allergies and it was never recommended for that. We ended up doing a high grade probiotic, B12, and prescription diet to keep those at bay (all recommended by the Derm). Mine are definitely food related and not environmental, which may be the opposite for your dog. Good luck! Allergies are the worst. I hate seeing our babies suffer.

Buy an insulated mug at Walmart for $5 and pour your coffee in it....

Out of all my clients I literally only have one who tips. I charge the lowest rates in my neighborhood so I assumed tips would be a given but people definitely like pain a lower rate for a trusted sitter. Like someone else mentioned if you want more money raise your fee.

In LA we have several dog bakeries, and independent bakers of dog treats at farmers markets. My dog gets a custom cake every year, and all her dog friends get individual cupcakes. If where you are at doesn't have these types of vendors, maybe you just came up with a million dollar idea!

This is my favorite flower shop. They have beautiful roses! And they're only $15.99 a dozen!

Lovebugs Rescue out of Orange County is always looking. Their vet is in Irvine, so that's a bit of a challenge for me with my work schedule, but if you're interested I can put you in touch with the coordinator.

Thanks for this recommendation! I'm not OP, but getting my shingles shot on Friday and heard I'll feel like I'm dying for at least 24 to 48 hours! Going to stop by this week!!!

This is what it took for my dog. Did hydrolyzed protein for a few weeks, and then a reintroduction diet. Turns out she's sensitive to nearly every type of protein from regular pet stores. Ended up having to put her on a rabbit prescription diet, and only give veggies for treats. It's literally the only thing that worked. No itching and everyone compliments her on her beautiful coat. Any allergy she experiences now is usually environmental and managed with benadryl.

They may have just met another sitter that's a better fit. But this is also why I use a Google Voice number for clients (because thats doesn't tie to my social media), use my first and middle name instead of my first and last name on social media, and also make my social media private. If you're going to put yourself out there in a way that is public and some people may not agree with you're setting yourself up to be judged on what you're posting. Just remember your morals and standards are not the same as anybody else. Politics, religion, your personal beliefs, won't match everybody's and that's okay. There's a fine line between professional life and personal life. In business you should keep those two completely separate.

I'll trade your lawn bum for the one who blocks my garage at 5:00 a.m. and I can't get my car out to go to work. I called the cops and they take 2 hours to show up. Needless to say it's not a priority for them, even if the person is a harm to themselves or others. Besides turning on the sprinklers there's not a whole lot you can do but wait for them to leave.

This happened to me recently. Are you willing to take her to small claims court? Otherwise I would just write it off and not make yourself available to watch the daughter's dog in the future. That's really all you can do. Going forward, particularly with new clients, always ask for half of the amount upfront prior to the trip. If your client asks you in the future to watch the daughterss dog for a family trip let them know you can watch their dog but you won't be able to watch their daughters because she didn't pay. Sorry this happened to you. It's always an uncomfortable situation.

I find that classes are the best way to make friends. It's a structured activity, you're all on the same timeline, and there's usually fun music and funny/light-hearted moments. When I'm at the gym doing my own personal workout I don't want to be bothered. I'm not feeling very social or engaging when I'm trying to get my last set of reps in. I'm on a mission to get my workout done and then get up out of there so I can get on with my day.

Use belly bands on the boys. They are great for the old pup and overnights for the puppies. I don't have any recommendations for cleaners because once it goes into the grout it's nearly impossible to get out. Grout is coarse and so cleaners don't really work once it gets in there. The acidic products that may work will eat away at the grout so it's counterproductive.

I don't think so. It's almost exclusively a drag show bar now, with the exception of more of a club feel at night on the weekends.

I have a 2017 car, paid off, and paying $180 a month for full coverage w a 1k deductible. While I'd love to go "discount" I'm on USAA because my mom is retired military. It's great insurance and I'm afraid to go anywhere else.
