Planning For Our Pets
If you are a pet owner then I give one word of advice. Have a back up plan for your Labrador retriever in case you can not make it home to feed them or let them outside. Having a pre-plan will save you a lot of grief and worrying down the road. It happens to all of us. We get called away to a meeting or have to go away during overnight expectantly. God forbid there is an emergency and you can't make it home. Having somebody that you know you can count on to look after your pet is worth it's weight in gold.
We have a couple of people that have helped us out several times on the drop of a phone call. There is nothing worse than being in a panic trying to find somebody to pet sit for you, even if it's just to let them out to go to the bahthroom. Even if you have to have a pet sitting service or kennel on call. Either way you will be glad you did.
My advice, set something up with a family member or close neighbour. Just in case. And if they help you out enough maybe think about gift baskets or some way of saying thanks!
