Why I’ve Been Writing Less — A Note From The Heart

For those of you who have been following our blog for a while, you may have noticed that my writing here has slowed down.

I wanted to take a moment to speak honestly about why.

The simple truth is this: Biggest Little Doggy Care has grown more than I ever imagined — and while that fills my heart with gratitude, it has also stretched me thinner than I sometimes know how to admit.

At the end of the day, this place is still very much a one‑man army.

As our little resort became busier, my days became fuller in ways that don’t always show up online. Every guest who walks through our door comes with their own needs, routines, personalities, quirks, anxieties, diets, medications, exercise preferences, and comfort levels. Making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and understood isn’t something I can automate or rush. It takes real attention, real presence, and real energy.

My days are spent carefully managing meals and special diets, coordinating playtime and exercise, watching for subtle changes in behavior, making sure potty breaks are timely and stress‑free, and ensuring everyone gets the affection and reassurance they deserve. On top of that, I work hard to keep up with constant photo and video updates — because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your dog happy, relaxed, and thriving while you’re away.

By the time the day winds down, I’ve given just about everything I have.

As much as I want to keep writing frequent blog posts, there simply aren’t more hours to pull from the day. Economically, physically, and emotionally, it became impossible to do everything at the level of care I demand from myself. And if something had to give, I chose words on a page — not the care your dogs receive.

There’s another layer of honesty I owe you, too.

Because we run a pretty consistent, structured routine here — by design — it also became harder to find new stories to tell without repeating myself. Consistency is what keeps dogs calm and happy, but it doesn’t always translate into exciting new blog material. Over time, I worried the writing was starting to feel stale, and the last thing I ever want is to post something just for the sake of posting.

And if I’m being completely vulnerable: I’ve never claimed to be a great writer.

What I am good at is caring deeply. Showing up. Paying attention. Loving every dog here as if they were my own. Writing has always been my way of trying to share that heart with you — even when the words don’t always come easily.

So if the blog has been quieter, please know it’s not because I care any less. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s because every ounce of my energy has been poured into the dogs sleeping under this roof, wagging their tails, and trusting me with their well‑being.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued trust. This place exists because of you — and because of the dogs who make every long day worth it.

I may write less at times, but my commitment to your pups will never waver.
