Gratitude for your village: Moose’s story and the power of support

The holiday season is all about gratitude, and here at Sit n Stay, we have so much to be thankful for—including the incredible stories and connections we share with our clients. This week, we want to highlight a very special pup named Moose, a little dachshund with a huge heart—and an even bigger support system.

Moose’s story reminds us of an important truth: it takes a village to raise a dog. Just like raising a child, ensuring your pup grows up happy, healthy, and well-loved often involves a community of people who step in to help. And Moose has one of the best villages around!

Moose and his amazing village

Moose is one lucky dog. Not only is he loved endlessly by his parents, but he also has some of the best doggie grandparents we’ve ever seen.

When Moose’s parents need a sitter, his grandparents are there in a heartbeat, ready to shower him with love, care, and probably a few extra belly rubs. But what really melts our hearts is how they go above and beyond for him:

The toy workshop:

Moose, like many playful pups, has a habit of destroying his toys. (We know some of you can relate!) But instead of tossing those toys away, his grandparents run their very own "toy workshop." They sew Moose’s favorite toys back together, good as new, and return them to him, ready for more playtime.

The backyard racetrack:

When the snow piles up in the winter, Moose’s grandparents break out their snow blower and create a special racetrack for him in the backyard! They carve winding paths through the snow so Moose can zoom around safely and enjoy the outdoors. Watching him race through his personal winter wonderland is just another example of how much they adore him.

Moose’s grandparents remind us how special it is to have people who love our dogs as much as we do—people who step in, help out, and make the journey of dog ownership a little easier and a lot more joyful.

Who’s in your village?

As dog owners, we all need a “village.” Raising a dog comes with challenges, triumphs, and everything in between, and having the right people in your corner can make all the difference.

Think about all the people who help you and your pup thrive:

- Friends and family: The ones who watch your dog when you’re away or simply provide a listening ear when you’re struggling with a behavior issue.

- Pet sitters and dog walkers: Those who care for your pup when life gets busy, ensuring they’re happy and exercised.

- Veterinarians and groomers: The professionals who keep your dog healthy, comfortable, and looking their best.

- Trainers and behaviorists: The people who help you navigate challenges and build a stronger bond with your dog.

This holiday season, take a moment to reflect on your “village.” Who are the people (or even businesses) that make your life as a dog owner easier? It’s the perfect time to share your gratitude with them—whether it’s a heartfelt “thank you,” a holiday card, or simply letting them know how much they mean to you and your dog.

Let us be part of your village

Gratitude for your village

Moose’s grandparents are a reminder of how much love and care goes into raising a dog—and how important it is to have people who are there to help along the way.

This week, as you celebrate the holidays, take a moment to think about your village. Who has made a difference in your dog’s life this year? And how can you express your gratitude to them?
