A few weeks ago, my little sis made a surprise visit from Portland with her fiancée and 7-month-old puppy in tow. I hadn’t seen her since the holidays, so it was great to catch up and meet her new bundle of fuzzy energy.

As a full-time working mom of an incredibly active toddler and wife of a ridiculously active husband, my life is pretty full these days, so the idea of adding a rug-chewing, hole-digging, toddler-pouncing Golden Retriever to the mix seemed like a bad idea. Don’t get me wrong, my husband and I are known among our friends as avid dog lovers who will take care of anyone’s pup - we haven’t had the heart to get another dog after we lost our beloved St. Bernard a few years ago and dog sitting fills the need for some dog time - but dog sitting and puppy sitting are very different.
