Rabbit rabbit! Yes. She’s in jail. Playdoh is a known felon.

I normally carry the keys with me when I’m doing chores at the house but I did not realize that door would lock behind me when I let the dogs out. Lesson learned! I won’t be doing that again!!

Managed to get locked out of the home I’m sitting for. Just me and the corgis, sitting outside staring at a locked door 😅😅 Thankfully, she had a spare hidden but it was a panic inducing hour and a half. We are so far away from civilization that getting a locksmith out was a problem.

Thank you for sharing!!!! I really want him to find a good home. 💕💕

I’m farm sitting and my all time favorite pig, Daphne, remembered me from last time. She’s a retired and stately lady - we share bagels with cream cheese every morning 💕

The ladies at the HSPCA kept raving about him and even sent him home with a toy. I honestly can’t believe no one wants this kitten. 😭😭 He handled the car ride like a champ and is just as adorable as the day is long.

RAV4 is officially FIV/leukemia negative and got his first vaccines with our local HSPCA I’ve gone ahead and scheduled his boosters and neuter appointments because they book out months in advance for surgery. Just in case we can’t find him a home. He’s a very chill and sweet guy 💕💕

I love these dogs. I always thought I was more of a cat person but these two dogs are my favorite little weirdos 💕💕

My son’s room tonight so he’s getting the full pampered house cat experience. Cats LOVE my son so RAV4 is in a good space. I’m still hoping we can find this kitten a good family - we are willing to get all of his vetting done first. In the meantime, we’ll just spoil him 💕

Twisted Mare Stables @twistedmarestables.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

truly appreciate her. We really wanted the kitten checked over before heading into the weekend just to make sure we didn’t miss anything. One of my friends surprised me with a Venmo that covered today’s vet visit and I’m so thankful. RAV4 is still quarantined from the other cats but he’s in

RAV4 went to our vet and was proclaimed “very healthy”. He’s about 6-8 weeks old, got some dewormer and flea meds, and will going to the HSPCA vaccine clinic next week for vaccines and bloodwork. Our vet recommended we go there because she can’t beat their prices - she’s a great vet and we 🧵

You guys. This is the picture that has killed me with cuteness. I swear to Taylor Swift, someone better adopt this dang kitten.

True story 💕💕 First night home he was curled up next to me on one side and my heeler, Sabo, was on the other side. I love these dogs.

Monkey has never really been super duper snuggly, but ever since I got back he’s been snuggling more than ever. I know he missed me and I sure did miss him.

Morning update: The vehicle owners do not know or want this kitten. He was stuck in a RAV4 so I guess that’s what we are calling him for now. He’s heading off to the vet this afternoon for a check up and hopefully we can find him a good indoor only home.

The engine kitten. He’s safely quarantined away from the other animals and is resting quietly. Fingers crossed he belongs to the owners of the car - if not, we will foster and do his vetting until he finds a safe home. Not my home. We have so many already and not a lot of extra space

My oldest came home long enough to grab a cat carrier - there was a kitten stuck in a car engine at her job. The guys were able to get him out and now he’s coming home for the night until we can figure out where he can go.

The person I’m housesitting for is coming back over a week early and I’m not emotionally prepared to leave this little dog 😭😭

Why are they always in weird spots and not marked?? It seems like something super important that you shouldn’t hide lol

The plumbers came out this morning and fixed it very quickly, thankfully. Had I not been here full time I wouldn’t have been out walking the property to find it and the pump could have died. The dogs are annoyed that the backyard is squishy but at least nothing is permanently damaged

So thankful I’m a stay-in-the-house type of house sitter. Got back from running errands yesterday and found a broken water pipe in the yard - it hadn’t been broken for long but it was definitely trying to flood the backyard. I called the owner and he told me where the well shut off was.

Twisted Mare Stables @twistedmarestables.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I remember everything about that day. It is OKAY to not watch the memorials and videos and basically reopen that trauma. The memory you have is enough. Be gentle with yourself.

We have a thunderstorm rolling through and the tiny dog I’m dog sitting is very scared. So I now have her shoved in my hoodie in the hopes that she will relax a bit. She is quite pleased with this turn of events lol

I had to scrub water tanks yesterday and kept running the hose over myself and it just didn’t help at all. And don’t get me started on the damn gnats. 😭😭

This heat and humidity is going to be the death of me. I’m struggling and I can’t wait to start complaining about blanketing horses and my feet being cold.

I’m so thankful I’m out. This is pure insanity.

I’m going to attempt to brush this floofy old man today - he has a couple of snarly knots and those have got to go before they turn into mats. His owner says that Gibbs doesn’t really enjoy being brushed so we will do it in small portions with lots of cheese tax.

Thank you! I’m just so disappointed and frustrated and worried about winter hay.

Twisted Mare Stables @twistedmarestables.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Going to be a very part time kind of a job, but I was hoping this would open doors in the community to more jobs or whatever. I am SO sick of job hunting. Beyond sick of it. I enjoy the house/pet/farm sitting I’m doing but I’m not busy enough to cover my hay bill for the winter. I am frustrated

Twisted Mare Stables @twistedmarestables.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Something came up with them, and they said they would contact me to reschedule. I roll with it because things happen. I get it. Well. They just got around to letting me know they went with someone from the accounting firm. Which great, glad you found someone. But I am so disappointed. It was only-

One of my friends referred me to a bookkeeping gig for her organization. I thought I had a good phone interview, which was confirmed a few days later by my friend telling me the interviewer called her specifically to rave about me. They wanted an in person interview, so we got that scheduled -

Thank you 💕💕💕 I love these bonus babies so much. One of my families refers to me as the other mother when they’re talking to their dogs and it makes me cry. I’m so thankful

I’ve known him for years and he’s a very sweet guy. This is the longest I’ve spent with him and I still have several weeks to go. He’s a lot of fun - I’m learning very quickly what he is demanding when he’s just staring at me lol

House/dog sitting again and this elderly gentleman has spent every day herding me around. His name is Gibbs, he’s 14-ish years old, and he is INTENSE. Very sweet and I adore him, but he is far more work oriented than my young heeler. So I let him herd me around the kitchen and the yard 😂😂

I love pet sitting because what do you mean I had to let these girls outside to yell at the brand new fence that got installed this morning?
