We are fortunate to have Deb Foster in our lives, she is our house and pet sitter when we travel. The animals love her dearly, I am not at all sure they notice when we leave. Deb often sleeps over, and it seems there is a huge pile of dogs and cats in bed with her. We do not ever worry about our animals when we travel, Deb is on it, she has handled some tough stuff when we have been away, she does it well and without complaint.

Deb is one of the many compelling strong women I meet in my town. She left corporate and institutional jobs to live in the country and follow her bliss, she has about four jobs in addition to pet sitting. She and Red ran into one another at the Farmer’s Market this morning, they just collapsed into one another’s arms.
