Will I Go To Jail For Stalking My Dog?

by Joshua

How many times have you noticed your dog doing something so unbelievably adorable that you quickly call out to anybody else around so they can witness it too?

Only to find that all the adorable activity stops the moment the dog hears you or notices you watching.

That’s why I’m trying to master the art of (legally) stalking my dogs – tiptoeing around, crouching behind furniture, snapping pictures… whatever works.

But as much as I love my dogs, this time of year hits us over the head with a Hallmark-branded mallet and some red rose pedals. I’m talking about Valentine’s Day, of course.

Valentine’s Day has become the official day of romance, when we lavish our loved ones with flowers, treats, and presents.

The History of Valentine’s Day

Imagine for just a moment if our President of this great nation stepped forward and said, “My fellow Americans, this is a time of great need. Since we are at war, I am banning marriage. From today forward, it’s now against the law for any American to marry. Why? Because single men make better soldiers than married men.”

Inside the First 91 Days with the Woman Who Would Become My Wife

by Joshua

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. and, like me, you’ve no doubt received plenty of THANK YOU emails from family, friends and colleagues.

It’s a special day. One where we go out of our way to show our gratitude to those who have made a difference in our lives.

My amazing wife Alitia has not been feeling physically well as of late.

You see, a few years back, she had spinal surgery (in her neck area) and now has two of her vertebra replaced with titanium.

You can imagine this might cause some additional pain and discomfort even though the operation was considered a success.

Alitia is, and always has been, an energetic, animated performer. She spent most of her adult life on a stage pursuing her dream as an actor.

Now, with titanium “holding her neck and head together” (as she likes to phrase it), [Read more...]

Do Something Nice For Others This Month

by Joshua

Perfect HeartCan you believe September is here already? I was browsing the aisles of my local Walgreens yesterday and was shocked by the wall full of Halloween ghosts and goblins.

Doesn’t life just move too fast at times?

Maybe it’s the anticipation of the Fall (my favorite season), but each time September rolls around I begin to feel all warm, fuzzy and cozy inside. And that tends to make me overly giving and sentimental.

I have a special gift to share with you below.

Fully SEO Your Pet Sitting Website – Look Beyond Keywords [Video]

by Joshua

pet sittingeoWant to hear a scary fact?  If you are only focusing on keywords when it comes to SEO and your pet sitting website, you are going to consistently miss out on a ton of new clients.

Why is that?  Simply because choosing the best keywords and implementing them on your site is just ONE part of a full SEO strategy.

Unfortunately, just focusing on keywords alone is like just getting partially dressed to start your day.

Sure, you might be decent enough to answer the door, but you’re a ways off if, let’s say, you have a meeting to attend.

In that case, you’ll have to finish getting dressed, put on your shoes and socks, brush your teeth, do your hair, put on some makeup, gather your belongings and get on your way.

Optimizing your pet sitting website for the search engines is an equally as involved process.

And as you’ll see in my video, it’s not that difficult or mysterious.
