Making a Dog-gone Good Living..

You would be surprised at how much this guy (and others like him) make just walking the dog (remember the song from Deadwood???).

The daughter of a friend of mine got a scholarship to college playing Volleyball. (wait... I'm going to get to the point .. no really)

She was tall, athletic, and not the type to settle somewhere behind a desk, so she took up dog walking. Mom and i used to see her every time we went to lunch at Scotty's, on the strand. She was a dog whisperer of the first order, and had at least 2 packs of dogs:

The big dogs (like this pack) and some small dogs who thought they were big, and the smaller dogs (and a couple of big babies who couldn't walk with the big dogs). I remember stopping her one time and petting all the goldens, who then went right back to their places without a hitch. She was marvelous.

and made a lot of money..

You see, when you live in a wealthy area and HAVE to have a big dog (but have no back yard or can't leave them out all day) you will pay a lot to have someone come and take them out at least once a day.

a lot.

My niece did it for a while when she was younger... it's the greatest job in the world.

Good living.

Good friends.

And you're outside walking every day for a few hours and then you're DONE!
