"Poor Cooper"

My roommate and I employ a dog walker who comes to our house each weekday to theoretically give our pups some love while we're at work during the day. I have to be the brokest person on earth who actually pays someone to walk their dog, but it's just something I feel like I need to do. I regularly think about what our dog walkers must think about our house when they come over - it's bound to be the crappiest place they go to during the day.

L and I pay $220 per month for this service and recieve notes like this every day:



Text: Hux and I went for a walk. He did #1 and #2. He met some friendly strangers who said he was very handsome. I gave him a treat. Poor Cooper would only bark in the back yard.



Text: Hi, Hux and I went for a walk. He did #1. I gave him a treat. Cooper just ran under the bed :( Have a great weekend!

Sigh. Why is my dog such a degenerate?

Hilarious. But...it beats my turtles. They just simply poop right wherever they are, muddying up the water. I wonder if the dog walkers will walk the turtles?

I do think it is totally worth it too. When I worked and was gone from 9-5, I always tried to come back at lunch and go see how Rocky was doing. It's not too expensive when you're 2 people paying for that service, well worth it =)

I am really happy you you CAT scan came back negative, these things are so scary. My Dad had brain surgery in 2003 and we were so worried it was tumors, thank god the surgery solved the problem and there was no cancer.

Keep us posted, we worry about you!!!

Had I a dog walker, the note would probably read something like this:

"I took Striker for a walk. He went #1 and #2, and then #1 and #2 again. He tried to tackle a woman carrying her chihuahua in a purse, and nearly tore my arm out of its socket chasing a bag blowing in the wind. And then he went #1 again."

those notes from the dog walker are very cute! alas i have a cat that always hides... so any note would read like this:

HI... i added food, and scooped the poop... but no cat was ever seen :(
