Adventures in Dogsitting

[wook77]

To those new to the flist - I work at a humane society. I'm a dog person. I'm allergic to cats. The last has no bearing on the following story but it's semi-interesting considering where I work

LOL!

[serious bit] Oookaaaay, those humans? are abusing their dogs. and you. you could always report them to your employer.

[wook77]

I've left literature about how not putting discipline and routine in a dog's life is actually a form of abuse so I tihnk they'll take the subtle hint *hopes*.

[ellie_nor]

Do you think they've taken any notice?

[yodels]

Aw...that just made my Saturday night. Don't ever say yes to them again.

We'll see how desperate I am for money the closer to Prophecy it is. But, yeah, I'm hoping to be busy next time so I don't have to lie to them.

[why_me_why_not]

aww, poor wook!! What a horrible weekend!

*hugs*

[wook77]

They're outside right now so it's so much better. *nods*

I'm goign to just basically ignore them and not walk around furniture they can get under as the one came out from under a chair and nabbed my barefoot this morning.

What kind of dogs are they? They sound like ankle-biters. I am not a small dog person AT ALL! Good luck!

I've learned to not mind small dogs since I got one of my own. I was only allowed a dog up to 20 lbs at my apartment and I desperately wanted a dog so I got Cisco. Up until then, I'd only ever had german shepards and collies and golden retrievers and such. But, Cisco has the terrier tude so I think of him like a big dog. He's fairly rugged and likes the same stuff my big dogs do.

But, that being said, these little bastards are chihuahua/pug mixes and I cannot stand chihuahuas. (sorry to those on the flist that have them but their eyes freak me the frick out) These dogs are the traditional yappyslappy anklebiting dogs and they can't weigh more than 10 lbs a piece.

Also - funny you should call them ankle biters. The one darted out from under a chair and bit my arch. Luckily, it was lacking in front teeth so I could extricate my foot without injury. That would be the reason they're going to be staying outside until, um, well, forever works for me but that would be cruel so for another hour.

Yuck! I have to agree with you -- there's no way they could possibly be paying you enough for that. Sheesh.

They are demons cloaked as dogs. I'd rather be around cats than these little buggers and considering cats make my face swell up and my lungs close? That's saying something.

Prophecy will make it all worth it.
