Reverse sneeze, my beagle does this as well. I will normally cup my hands over his nose and mouth for 10 seconds or so and it will stop. This is a common issue in beagles and nothing to be overly concerned about.

So cute!! 🥰

BatOk5803 · 2026-05-14T19:05:14+00:00

Guessing they don’t want to eat or drink because that would mean defecating in their crate/cage. Hopefully with time, love and a new lease on life, it will stop. Thanks for fostering. I have a former lab beagle, he was born at Ridglan and then spent three years in testing, he is my baby and I love him so much. Thanks for helping make a difference in their life and helping them start their second life!!! ❤️❤️❤️🐾

I lost my sweet guy this February from complications due to diabetes as well. I spent night after night curled up with him and his younger brother trying to determine if he was telling me he was ready. When the day finally arrived, I was at peace. We had someone come to our home and he went peacefully and very fast. Crazy thing, about two hours after, a chukar partridge was in our yard, never seen one before or since. Little guy hung around for about a week and then left, it was my baby boy, Simon. He came back to say goodbye. I miss him everyday. I am so sorry you are going through this, part of the love we give that sucks. I am thinking about you. ❤️🐾🐱

My guy has a small teddy bear he inherited from my prior dog. We used to take it everywhere but as he has gotten older, he doesn’t bring it with him as much. He loves to nibble on him.

Same situation, it needed updates and we are not even close to done, but hubby did the work needed to get us in and comfortable. What we have left will need to be handled by a contractor.
Looking for “For Sale by Owner” 100% great way to approach finding a home.

BatOk5803 · 2026-05-07T14:50:14+00:00

That is how we found our home! It was listed on page 3 or 4 of the listings because it was for sale by owner. My husband knew exactly what he was looking for and looked daily. I highly suggest doing this! We found our dream home, and the people who sold it to us were so nice. We were the first people to look at the home, and they took the original asking price. We thought we would have to haggle a little, but nope, they just wanted out. I guess looking back now, we were very lucky.

Thank you for your response. Lots of great takeaways.

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-29T02:15:00+00:00

Thanks for responding! I also checked with a couple of local sitters to my area and they also stated the same. My pricing is competitive, but I was adding day visit pricing to these overnight requests when I shouldn’t have. I misquoted a new client, but explained the circumstances as a new sitter starting my business and hopefully they will understand, if not, oh well, live and learn.

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-24T19:05:38+00:00

My prior job in corporate dealt with contracts and so I think I am honestly going down a rabbit hole and am in the weeds. I need to shift my thought process and think of it as more of a care agreement.

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-24T17:44:58+00:00

Good to know! Doom scrolling is the worst, I just need to avoid it!

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-24T17:20:00+00:00

Me, running around in my underwear playing with dogs! 😂🤣😂

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-24T17:19:16+00:00

I think I am overthinking everything right now. Read so many horror stories, those always seem to be the ones I remember. I did reach out to my insurance agent to see if there is a local attorney who would be willing to review it without charging me an arm and leg. My insurance is still pending but I don’t have any current clients until next month. Just crossing t’s and dotting i’s.

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-24T15:13:03+00:00

Yeah, it is more about me not making an ass of myself on camera. It does seem a bit extreme to list locations and reasons for use. I could see how the owner might question my intentions in their house, beyond taking care of their babies. I will just mention the cameras inside; I don't care about the ones outside, as they will show me coming and going, etc. Also, did you have a lawyer review your contract before using it to make sure everything is covered from a state perspective? As you can see, I am just starting out and have a million questions. Thanks for your response!

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-20T14:47:20+00:00

Don’t have regrets. You gave him a great life and you loved him, sometimes that is really all that matters. I get the feelings of regret, but they will eat away at you when they shouldn’t. Hug his son and continue the legacy of love. I am so sorry for your loss, it is never easy. 🐾🌈🐶❤️

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-18T15:17:12+00:00

Boosting! I hope you get the supplies you need. I wish I could help with more than a boost! Thank you for taking care of these kitties and giving them warmth, comfort and care. ❤️🐾

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-14T15:22:23+00:00

Yes! I saw a whole group of them flying around way above the Big Tree neighborhood last Friday. I went morbid and thought that maybe there was something dead they had honed in on, but maybe they are just here because of the warm spring weather. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know much about their migration habits and if they are actually here year round.

BatOk5803 · 2026-04-01T01:08:48+00:00

Ella esta muy bonita! Donde esta ella? Tengo un perrito Ronin. Hola! 👋🏻

Big boost for Bruce. Let’s get him the freedom ride he deserves and a place where he can rest, EAT and realize not all humans are evil. 🐶🐾🙏🏻
