About Us
About Us G'day! My name is Mary Nellum. My family and I have lived in the Conway area for 28 years and have had various "zoos" living with us over the years. Now that our son is no longer at home, we've downsized to 3 cats and 1 dog. This is Sox, our rescued American Staffordshire Pitbull… Read more
Testimonials
Testimonials Mary, I was so happy to find your ad on Craigslist when I was looking for a pet sitter because we met years ago and I remembered what a sweet, kind and loving person you are. Thank you so much for caring for my 2 kitties (well actually 3 with the little stray Tom-Tom that appeared right… Read more
Tone of Voice
Today I noticed that Sox seems to respond to me faster if I speak to her in a lighter tone of voice. When we were working at Petsmart tonight she was very focused on me and her whole body language was that of relaxation and happiness, even though we were "working". I was also reminded that… Read more

On Leash
We just got back from our morning walk. It's SO beautiful outside and Sox now walks with me in such a wonderful way. We're getting to that point that Cesar talks about - when you're walking with a dog it should feel like you're not walking with a dog :) We went a little longer today because it wasn… Read more
Our Daily Walk
We went off leash the whole way, even by the "dog gauntlet" - lol. I noticed that when we walked by those yards, she didn't miss a beat, even though they were running and barking. She stayed right by my side and her ears were back - not up! Good girl! I also noticed that she is VERY in tune… Read more
Symptoms Of Dehydration
In most cases, testing the elasticity of the skin by pulling it away from the body, releasing it and observing the time it takes to return (turgor test), can indicate the extent of dehydration. However, overweight and older dogs have a different elasticity rate than younger ones and so this is not… Read more
Heatstroke
HELP COOLING DOWN DOGS You can also take bath towels, wet them down and freeze them to use in crates to keep the dogs cool in the heat. There are apparently freezable doggy pads on the market as well. Letting them play with large chunks of ice - or making them broth flavored ice cubes (or use margarine… Read more
Emergency Planning Basics
Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi River floods, Mount St. Helens, Oakland Earthquake, September 11, Los Angeles wildfires… When one talks about disaster preparedness, the mind goes immediately to the drama and (often) overwhelming catastrophe of community-wide events that overwhelm emergency services.… Read more
First Fireworks
We live across the street from the baseball field of one of the colleges. They were shooting off fireworks just a few minutes ago. I said,"Oh cool! Sox, wanna go see the fireworks?" You know she's a go-with kinda gal, so she looked at me, smiled and wagged her tail. So we went outside and… Read more
My therapy dog
We had a busy but really nice day today. We went to Petsmart as usual and practiced us walking up to and by the other dogs without Sox "breaking" across me (she cannot cross the middle line of my body trying to get to or sniff the other dog). There were a LOT of dogs there today - great… Read more
Surprise Fireworks In The Park
I took Sox (our pitbull) and Spice (our Chihuahua) out to the park this evening to play with some friends of mine. They have a little girl who adores and is adored by my dogs :) They played and ran and romped till they were breathless, then plopped down on the ground to cool off. All of a sudden… Read more
The Delta Therapy Dog Test
The test was on Saturday, the 12th, and we didn't pass, literally by an inch. It was on the neutral dog part. They said that Sox didn't try to get to the other dog, but her head is so big that when she turned it to look at the dog, it just barely crossed the midline of my body, but it still counted… Read more
