Dog sitting Dexter
23 Oct 2026
Pupdate. A new VIP has joined us for a week or so. That's Very Important Pet in case you didn't know.
Dexter is a two year old Labrador cross, not sure what with. He is still in the puppy phase and loves bouncing around the room, jumping up at people and other dogs, but takes commands for a few moments at a time.
We did our first walk this morning and he snapped his collar, which is not an ideal start. He really likes play fighting and chewing fingers, but doesn't bite (I hope 😊). Looking forward to the week.
