Get Pet Moving Tips Inspired by Matthew Broderick

Who'd think that a picture of Matthew Broderick walking a dog would give me such inspiration!? While he and SJP prepare a home for two lil (baby) bundles, movers cleared out their house, he brought out the family pooch . . . and reminded me of three simple tips:

No pets left behind With unfamiliar faces lifting heavy items (that could then fall), take your pet out during the packing and loading process. For cats, it may mean securing them in an empty room or carrier - movers can't pack the chair when kitty's trying to hide under it! For dogs, get a pal to puppysit or pop a pooch in daycare (I dropped North down the street when my movers relocated us to SF!)
Keep it together Store pet supplies in one box or, do as he appears, and stick them in an empty carrier so you won't need to be reading labels or digging around for the goods. If you've got an emergency kit locked and loaded, leave that aside to guarantee having key items . . . not taped in.

Get one more tip and glimpse one more pic when you read more.

Don't pack it all in Seems Matthew forgot to leave out a leash as a rope does double-duty as a lead for the lil pup. Prevent this measure and put a leash in your purse before you start . . . you won't pack that in a box (I hope)!

Look-ee, look-ee who wants to help! At the other end of that leash, you'll find Matthew Broderick taking his little two for a QT walk in NYC today. SJP's off being fashionable and promoting her movie so I'm happy to see this father/son/dog bonding time. And how cute is it that little James wants to get a helping grip on that leash?! Kudos to Matthew for still hanging on tight, though. It's dangerous to let small children walk dogs, especially in big cities with lots of "distractions" for both of them – one quick tug by this feisty terrier and he could be off – so I can't wait 'til James is ready to hold that leash all by himself! If you're excited to see another shot (this one with Matthew in it), read more.
