Good morning, Bert, When you have a moment, would you accept the Confirmation Requests from Trusted House Sitters? This will enable me to decline the other applicants.

Hi, just logged in and took care of it. Was in a long morning video meeting that finally ended. All good. Looking forward to helping you and Ellie out.

Hi Michael a question came to mind just now, I remember you saying it’s OK for Ellie to be on the couch but what about the bed in the master bedroom? Should I keep her off? thanks!

Jul 19, 2024 7:41:52 PM Me

And the day bed in the office too, unsure if she is allowed on it

Jul 19, 2024 7:59:11 PM (Read by you after 32 minutes, 39 seconds) +19203770345

She’s pretty much allowed wherever she wants.

Hi bert. Sorry to bother you, but are you still up? I forgot something at the house

Jul 21, 2024 11:38:21 AM Me

I'm sorry I missed your message. Just read it. Ellie and I just returned from a long walk, streets, and the beach. Ran into some other fun dogs, and she loved running off into the water. It was so fun to take her walking. She's incredibly well-behaved. 😊 Let me know if there is something you need me to look up or find here in the house and send you a picture or information or what have you. I’ll keep looking for a message. I hope your trip, other than needing the thing here, is going well

Jul 21, 2024 11:39:19 AM Me

Serious buffet of smells here. 🤣

Hi and good morning. Ellie and I are going to the beach and I noticed we’re out of those green doggie bags that go inside the bag with treats on the leash. I remember you showing me them, but for the life of me cannot remember where. I looked out by her food but came up empty. Whenever you have a chance to let me know would be great. She’s doing great! We went on an evening walk last night and there was a younger girl, a teen, who said she watched Ellie recently, and of course Ellie had to go over and wag her tail and walk through the middle of the group of kids sitting on the sand to say “please pet me!” We socialized with some other dogs out there too. She is SO well behaved. I’ve been around so many dogs and Ellie is a keeper 😊 Hope your trip is going well!

Hi there. Great to hear! There is a tote bag under the sink on the left door. Inside that bag should be all of her things - including the green bags. Please reach out if you can’t find them!

I found it. Staring me right in the face. 😊 We’re all set, and she’s in a deep nap after the beach this morning—she’s doing great.

Good morning! Before I post another TrustedHouseSitters date, I wanted to offer it up to you first. Any interest in watching Ellie again Labor Day weekend? Friday 8/30 afternoon through Monday 9/2 early evening.

Aug 23, 2024 7:59:41 AM Me

Hi Michael yes 👍 I would love to, thanks!

Fantastic! At the moment it’s a little up in the air. The trip is somewhat dependent on whether our friends have their first grandchild later than expected. If it arrives early we won’t be going on the trip. So we appreciate your flexibility.

Good Aternoon (for you 😊 Some pictures from yesterdays walks. Again she’s been so great this whole time. Yesterday I could sense a little stress with her when we were hanging out after the morning walk. She was looking at me as if to say, “Where are they?” That’s what I was reading from the look and her energy. I think she’s missing you bigtime. 😊 Got back a little while ago from this morning’s walk. I’ve started to tidy up and wanted to confirm your arrival window so I’m gone before you arrive, but also don’t leave Ellie alone too long before you arrive. Hope all is well, and safe travels back out west. ￼￼

Good morning! Apologies for the late notice. We found that our sailing plans for this weekend aren’t going to happen. We really appreciate your willingness to be “on-call” for Ellie in the case it happened. Although we will continue to use THS for her care when we’re away, I’d like to message you first for your availability if you’re okay with that?

Aug 31, 2024 12:43:48 PM Me

Hi! Not a problem at all. And yes I would love to sit with Ellie again!! Send me a text and thanks!

Fantastic! I ran in to Michael at the beach. He said that you and he may have chatted. He’s a tall skinny guy who regulars at the beach.He has a husky named Kai. He asked about the THS site and was wondering if you may be interested in sitting for Kai (outside of THS)? I didn’t provide him your info at the time, but if you’re interested, I would pass it along.

Sep 01, 2024 9:54:24 AM Me

Wow! How cool! I do remember him and Kai because I saw them more than once, and we did chat once while the dogs were doing their thing And please do share my info. I’d be happy to watch Kai. It would be funny for Kai and me to run into you and Elie serendipitously. I wonder if Ellie would wonder why I’m with Kai? 😄
