2008 Cape Cod Marathon Dog

November’s Client of the month is my Jack Russell Terrier – Hunter. He ran the Cape Cod Marathon (CCM) with me in October and he inspired me to start a Dog Exercise and Pet Sitting business on Cape Cod.

Hunter’s devotion as a running partner is amazing. He gets very excited any time I lace up my sneakers. We have run several hundred miles together, and this year I decided to reward him for all of his dedication to the sport of running by taking him along with me in the ultimate athletic event – The Marathon!

The race was amazing. Hunter and I were met with cheers all along the beautiful 26.2 mile Falmouth course, by enthusiastic chanting spectators who knew his name from the Cape Cod Times newspaper article. See more marathon pictures on the Cape Cod Marathon Official Site.

Many runners who heard Hunter’s panting told me they thought a runner must be in trouble. They were very surprised to see it was actually a panting dog. Many asked how many miles he was running, as no one had ever heard of a dog completing a marathon. One runner commented on how he must be the perfect running partner, never complaining or asking how many miles are left and always happy to run.

Pet Sitters - Dog WalkersOur “Cape Cod Pets” of the month for August are Ripley and Molly. These two lovely Cape Cod pets are from Falmouth, MA. The pet owners find it difficult to provide regular dog walks and exercise for these labs and wanted to hire a dog walker or dog walking service. They asked their neighbors if they had heard of any good pet sitters or dog walkers and were shown the artilce in the Falmouth Enterprise“A Tired Dog is a Healthy Dog”, for a dog walking, dog running, pet sitting and exercise service on Cape Cod. They became very excited and called CapeK9Cardio to get their dogs on an exercise routine right away. They knew how important exercise was for canines, but never had the ability to get them out on walks on a regular basis on their own. Finding dog walkers was a vital step toward getting their dogs into healthy shape. At first, Molly and Ripley were so out of shape, they could barely walk to the end of the driveway without panting. They struggled to do a 1/3 mile dog walk around the block. Now after two months of dog walking service, they have walked up to six miles per week! Our exercise service sessions started slow with dog walking only, but have graduated to the dog running service. These labs are working hard and doing great. Ripley (the yellow lab) has lost over 10 pounds and is much more energetic. Keep up the great work!
