Willie Weekend

Last weekend we had Willie stay with us. He is a Basset Hound and Cattle Dog mix and he and Izzie have known each other for a few years. It was like Izzie had a friend over for the weekend. It was so cute to watch them walking around the house together. Just two buddies, following each other around from room to room. :-)
We had a beautiful weekend and our backyard was the perfect place for a "dog" nap. Willie loved just sprawling out in the grass.
Izzie loves to lay on the warm dirt....with her black fur...and cook! Ahhhhhhh.....a dog's life!
Willie found a toy that soon became him favorite. He carried the orange toy around for 3 days!

We also gave Willie a bath. He was a trooper..
Look at those hound eyes!

Despite the bath....Willie still had a great weekend!We can't wait to have Willie over for another weekend.

4th of July in Bothell

Bothell has a great 4th of July parade every year and my husband often drive his landscaping truck as a "parade float". He decorates the truck and builds a garden or lawn in a trailer hitched to the rear. He usually builds a patio and this year he added a water feature.

I of course love the opportunity to dress Izzie up in her "4th of July Best". :-) Thankfully Izzie is a great sport and doesn't mind wearing silly outfits. Here are a few from the past years.

While we were waiting for the parade to start, we were lined up next to a summer cheerleading camp. The girls spotting Izzie and instantly surrounded her. Izzie was in heaven! :-)

Hello World!

Welcome to our blog! We are Tailor Made Pet Sitting and my name is Laura Sprague. We are a new Pet Sitting and Dog Boarding service in Bothell. I have always been a huge animal lover, and starting this business is a dream come true.

I am going to kick-off this blog by introducing you to my family and telling you a little bit about who we are.

My husband James and I are newlyweds. We will be celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary in August.

We love our dog so much that we had her as our cake topper :-) Made by my amazingly talented sister-in-law

We live in a wonderful neighborhood in Bothell called "Westhill". The best thing about living here is that we across from an 80 acre farm. This means that we can live in a neighborhood AND also have some unspoiled natural beauty.

We also have the best sidewalk along this road for taking a walk. You will always seen moms pushing strollers and people walking their dogs....often both at the same time.

One my favorite things about where we live, is our back yard. These are the perks of being married to a landscaper.

My husband James Sprague owns Fancy Plants Gardens. We are all dressed up for our annual ride in the Bothell 4th of July Parade. :-)

We have 2 cats and a dog. Oscar is our dog-loving cat :-)

Oscar loves to cuddle with Izzie :-)

Izzie tolerates it ;-)

Then there is Molly. She is our "serious senior cat". And yes, it's not just your eyes, she is also a LARGE cat. But I am proud to say that she has lost 4 pounds.....in 3 years! haha!

Then there is Izzie. She is the furry love of our lives. She loves to be with people and there is nothing she loves more than children. Maybe that is because they are at the perfect height for a face lick! :-)

James loves his "puppy dog"

Izzie loves a good belly rub

Izzie is an Aussie mix. We have no idea what the mix is. Of course my husband who is always cracking jokes has decided that she must be mixed with "Irish Shedder". haha! Bad joke....I know. ;-) I love my husband and his cheesy jokes.

Now she has her "Summer Cut" :-)
