Dear Elise
Welcome to Dear Elise — a space for the pet parent who treats their home like a sanctuary and their pet like family. Here you'll find calm-home rituals, honest care guides, and a little behind-the-scenes of life at Fur Elise Pets. Written in Chicago, inspired by Sunda, Elise, and Aurie.
A weekend away with a dog doesn't need a duffel of gear. Here are the five things that always earn their spot in Sunda's summer travel bag — and the small one that matters most.
A good harness should disappear on the walk. Here's the unfussy way I fit Sunda's — how to measure, the two-finger rule, and the small details that quietly prevent chafing, slipping, and the dreaded backward wriggle-out.
Bath time doesn't have to be a wrestling match. Here's the unfussy way I bathe Sunda at home — how often, the warm-water setup that keeps her calm, the gentle wash I trust, and the small after-bath habit that does the most.
Most "dog smell" isn't really about the dog. It's about the soft things they sleep on. Here's the calm, once-you-set-it-you-forget-it schedule I keep for Sunda's bed, blankets, and plush toys — so the apartment always smells like home.
The first real park days of the season are here. Here's the calm, three-minute post-walk check I do with Sunda — what to glance at, what to brush off, and the small habits that keep summer easy.
Summer shifts your pet's skin in small, easy-to-miss ways. Here's the soft, weekly rhythm we use with Sunda — what to look for, when to bathe, and the simple habits that quietly prevent the itchy stretch most pets hit in July.
