Aloha from Hawaii! Not to make any of you jealous, but it is a warm 73 degrees today in Honolulu.
Anyway, I started a pet sitting business this April and would love to ask you advice on how to care for big dogs.
All of my clients have been smaller breeddogs and cats , but I hope to have a big dog client soon,
a Rhodesian ridgeback puppy.
I have been around big dogs all my life. They are great!
I look foward to becoming a part of your Big Paw community!

Welcome! It's great to have someone from the "islands" here! I'm sure you'll get lots of great advice here (like - always remember your drool towel) and now we all have a place to stay when we go visit Hawaii!!
YAY!!

Besides the drool towel, I don't think my small plastic gloves will do the trick for poo poo pick ups. ;D
Thanks!

Hi! Welcome.
could you tell me again about the weather? Not that we know what 73 degrees is right now. :)~ Oh I hate winter.
How do I handle big dogs? Personally...I do it the same as with little dogs but with a back brace and slobber rag. :)

Jeanne...that is a FANTASTIC idea! :) I wish I had thought of it!

it is so nice right now that I can wear shorts and a light tee shirt to work. I've attached a photo I took this weekend when I was on Lanai. Hope it comes through. (it didn't)
I travel with my Husband often and we are always so grateful for the weather in Hawaii!
I am like you and do not like cold weather! It makes my tummy sore.
-
:D Of course you all have a place to stay in Hawaii!! ;D
-
no picture...try it again! Lanai... is that an island in Hawaii?
-
I sent a few to your email address, gotta run for a few hours! Talk to you later! I wish I could send you warmer weather. 8)

Welcome to BPO Tammy.
The pictures Lin downloaded are absolutely gorgeous!
T-shirts and shorts? Please explain what they are?!!
:) I'm moving there! I swear it.
Anywhere warm would be good.
Do they ride motorcycles in Hawaii?

Welcome aboard Tammy!! Those pictures look great!

I'm jealous! I spent a week on Kauai last month, it was only 200 weeks shorter than I needed to stay!

Welcome to BPO!

Hello and welcome. I think I welcomed you in another thread, too, but now you're twice as welcome....... ...lol.
I run a pet sitting business too and the large breed are the same as the small......... ........other than the poop size, and if they're not leash trained, they can pull you around a bit more. But for me, they're WAY more fun than the little ankle biters. Just plant your feet when they jump on you, and be sure to wear old clothes. ;) ;D Oh, and be sure to wear pants/shorts with pockets so you can carry around lots of plastic bags. ;D
