new professional plan
I think that instead of getting a job in my profession, I will become a professional dog walker/dog play wither. I’m pretty damn good at it. It pays quite well. And it gives me exercise and a break from my otherwise monotonous day. My aunt and uncle got a new puppy and have enlisted my help. Whenever they travel, they ask me to stay at their house and dogsit, but now they’ve asked for some help during the day, especially when one of them is traveling for work. I basically walk to her house, play with the dogs, let them out in the yard, feed them treats, and leave.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they don’t really need my help, but they feel sorry for my pathetic little work from home self, and like excuses to give me money (they do already pay a professional dog walker to come twice a day). My mom says that’s not true and that they really need me; I’ve decided I don’t care. Money is money. Cute dogs are cute dogs. And if it’s helping out my pseudo aunt and uncle then I’ll do it anytime.
Of course, it’s not all fun and games and I’ve learned a few things the past few weeks, such as don’t wear shorts or dangly earrings when visiting a new puppy, and beware that you’ll probably have your face bitten, scratched, hair pulled out, and nice shirts ripped to shreds. God, please tell me they are going to train this puppy.
Cissy will always be my little baby though:
It was seriously difficult to get a pic of the two of them together. Trust me, I tried. Pretty much impossible when a puppy is lunging at your face and jumping on your head (literally) every 5 seconds. I love the fact that the puppy is almost as big as 12-year-old Cissy.

So cute! Don’t worry – I love my sister’s and best friend’s dogs as much as I will eventually love my own.
