The Not So Glamorous Side...

Here are 10 reasons that show the not so glamorous side of dog walking. Yes, it looks easy but we are professionals , we are supposed to make it look easy, right!

1) You are already having a bad day and some idiot leaves both gates at the dog park open. Two of your pups think it's a fantastic idea to run outside and explore the neighborhood. Suddenly you find yourself chasing down two dogs on a busy street. Your heart sinks, you freak out, 10 millions thoughts are chasing through your brain and you just start running after them (praying not to get hit by a car). You finally get them into a corner, you leap and you catch them. An eternity. a heart attack, two cuts on the elbow, bruises and ripped pants later the dogs are safe and you are ready for a drink!

2) You are wearing your new shoes to the dog park, you step in poop but don't realize it 'til much later in the car while sitting in a traffic jam in the canyon, with no possibility to stop ANYWHERE.

3) One of your pups attacks a Pitbull, you try to break them apart. You trip and fall and 80 lbs of pure muscles lands on your head while you're head is hitting a rock! Splendid day! A concussion and a wrecked back later you are ready to take on the world again.

4) You get bit because someone else did something stupid and you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. The bite was accidental but it hurt!

5) One of your pups decides to chew through your backseat seat belts of your brand new car!

6) You are in a hurry, you drive to your clients house and you realize at the clients door that you left the key at home! outch!

7) One of your pups decides to bite someones butt! The butt was gianormous but this hardly justified the action.

8) Your pup rolls in skunk dung and nowhere is a hose around! Yeah, that was disgusting. Especially driving home with him!

9) Your pup vomits and pees in your car all at the same time. Needless to say we were stuck on the freeway and all the other dogs were freaking out. Did I mention the smell? :-0

Last but not least my ultimate favorite:

10) You are helping to break up a fight, none of your dogs is involved and you are getting yelled at for 10 min. how stupid you are and the F**** word 100 times and that you are getting sued. Who cares that you were JUST helping out. She let of some steam and I had my day ruined! Thanks.

Do I love my job? Absolutely! If I wouldn't love my job I wouldn't put up with the bites, bruises,aches and pains that come with it!
