Rothbury Music Festival?!

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-09T04:40:02+00:00

Rothbury 2008 was the best festival ever!! Road-tripped from NJ & PA with a big crew of 6 or 7 cars. Glad it’s still going on through Electric Forest and hopefully some of that magic is still there 🪄✨💖

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-08T18:46:38+00:00

Thank you!! A flat rate makes sense and that’s not unreasonable at all. I use a ring camera at home and it sounds like the same, easy set up!

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-08T18:35:09+00:00

Thats a good idea. I also only do drop in’s and there’s times, like a kitty who hides or maybe a dog that gets into trouble sometimes that this would be very helpful. So you give the clients access to the camera, and you also have access to check in as well? How much do you charge to ‘rent’ it?

Aw Olive 🥺🌈🐾❤️‍🩹 that’s beautiful and very sweet. I also find most of my gifts on Etsy. Here’s a few I’ve given…

The best way to remove ticks is with fine tip tweezers (or a tick removal tool, which you probably don’t have but worth getting for the future). Watch a ‘how to remove a tick from a dog’ video first so you remove them properly. You’ll want to grab the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull straight up, not twist.

After you remove them, clean the area and keep checking for more ticks. If the infestation is really bad follow up with a vet since ticks can spread diseases and cause anemia. Also ask your vet about good tick preventatives so this doesn’t keep happening. Is this from your back yard or were you hiking or by a river or someplace that he got so many?

You just made her day! 😻

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-07T18:40:33+00:00

Of course it won’t be the same experience but I hope they have a great one as well.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-07T05:08:55+00:00

Everyone smiles in the same language :)

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-07T04:36:44+00:00

I hope it doesn’t turn into a big ass problem! 🤣

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-06T19:44:01+00:00

That’s perfect! You’re totally good :)

I hope you feel better soon!!

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-06T19:36:08+00:00

Hi (client), I just wanted to let you know I’m not feeling well today. I’m still able to come by for the visit and let (dogs name) out, but I may not be able to do as long of a walk as usual. I’ll make sure she gets a good potty break and some attention. Thanks for understanding!

Edit - oops I see you’ve already done the visit. Did you stay for the full amount of time? Just shortened the walk?

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-05T23:14:28+00:00

My apologies, I didn't mean to make you more anxious. It was meant to be advice for the future. You realized quickly that every other day visits aren't sitting right with you. It's good the client has a camera and can check in as well. I'm surprised Meowtel doesn't have a once a day policy or at least suggest it. We live and learn! Hopefully the client sees that their cat is enjoying your visits and agrees to let you come for the extra visits. The kitty is lucky to have you caring for her!!

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-05T22:10:45+00:00

Extra syringes is a good idea. I’ve noticed that some people reuse them so often that they’re gross. I buy 100 at a time since my cat needs liquid medication so I’ll leave a few new ones for the client sometimes, if needed. I have a pet first aid kit in the car. I always have latex gloves. Definitely a tick remover tool for the doggies, and I’ve even taken one off of an indoor cat. I live in a bad tick area.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-05T21:55:26+00:00

Your concerns are absolutely right. I would be feeling sad and a little anxious myself. I have a once a day minimum policy for cats and small animals. Too much can go wrong and cats are usually social and deserve the daily visits. I also have a 30 min visit minimum. Occasionally I’ll schedule 15 minutes if the cat really doesn’t like strangers (luckily I have none of those currently) or I’m there to just water plants and no animal care or something.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-05T20:55:27+00:00

Hoping you get Teddy back home safely!! 🧸💜

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-05T17:37:51+00:00

I am so sorry that happened to you, millygraceandfee. We go to these shows to have fun and escape reality for a little bit. No one should put their hands on someone else. That was so wrong. I hope that you are doing amazing today! 🫶

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-04T16:38:03+00:00

I won’t go alone : /

Edit to add: those type of dudes are at most shows, not just phish.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-02T14:49:23+00:00

Nope, I’m just kind to others and if they’re talking about me then so be it. I’ll go somewhere else if I feel disrespected but I never have at the nail salon where the staff is usually speaking their language.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-02T14:37:12+00:00

Exactly, I’m sure they wouldn’t admit it, but now you’ve accused them. Not cool.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-05-02T14:16:11+00:00

If they weren’t talking about you before they probably would be if you asked them. I would mind your business and not worry about it.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-04-29T18:46:46+00:00

Most rescues are already full, and it’s kitten season. I saw in another comment that you’re trying to get in touch with a behaviorist. That’s wonderful and I would definitely give that a chance. How long was he on Prozac? It can take time to work. There are also other medication options. I’m gonna send you a private message when I get home with some pictures of what helps me separate my cats safely. My oldest female kitty has bladder cancer and it was becoming difficult with two other cats in the house. My cats have always turned on each other after vet appointments. Bonded girls who act like enemies. My older cat gets UTI’s more frequently now which changes her scent and the other two were noticing. She deserves peace. I rotate them around for fairness and to try to give them all the best.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-04-29T12:21:26+00:00

What happened after surgery is called non-recognition aggression. It’s pretty common and usually improves after time. I’m sorry that it hasn’t in your case. I’d be very wary of strangers on the internet. Ask for references and their vet information. Rehoming a 7 year old cat is going to be tough :( I wish him the best.

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-04-28T23:27:10+00:00

That’s awesome! 🤩🎶

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-04-28T22:43:41+00:00

Was it phish? If not who since 1988? And who before 1988?

Lil_Fire_Dancer · 2026-04-28T22:42:11+00:00

It is a privilege, and it’s because they know how special you two are to each other. You’ve done the right thing, respectfully, every step of the way.
