I thought I would bring How To-sday Back... but again... I'd like to do it in a more personal way and talk about what I actually did this week that's a little different than what I usually do and teach you how to do that... or maybe something that isn't new... but idk maybe a little different... I already have an idea for next week in fact! This might be satirical... so keep that in mind.
Anyway... so yeah dogsitting! My friend was going away for the weekend while she was dogsitting- so I get to watch the cute puppy! I miss my own puppy but I love having puppies around! Which brings me to #1!
1) Love Dogs!
Seriously... if you don't love dogs what kind of sick monster are you? Especially if you clicked a video saying how to dog sit... just make sure to actually love dogs at all times... in any situation. It will make you feel better about things like the patriarchy being terrible and Casey Affleck winning the Oscar after he's been a known abuser of women... okay still upsetting... but how mad can I be at the world when there's a cute little pup next to me and she's being so sweet!
2) Go Outside Responsibly
This is a big one. Make sure the dog is wearing everything it needs to wear... make sure you have keys and everything... a phone is good just in case... and poop bags. Gotta have the poop bags! If you walk by a park they might provide bags... but you know. Be a good neighbor!
3) Be Patient!
Just be patient with the walks too... sometimes dogs can be too fast... sometimes they're really slow. I watched a dog once for my neighbor... and I was in 6th grade and the dog was a big puppy...and it was my first time walking her... so I didn't know and she just kind of started running and I ran with her. I didn't have a cell phone at the time- so I couldn't tell them where I was and they were worried. I only knew where I was because I was near the house that made freshly popped warm popcorn for halloween... they had a distinctive sign on their house that I thought was for Halloween... and as it turns out- it was not!
So yeah- if you are having a dogsitter come over... maybe do a trial run first if you can. That made it easy for me today.
4) If you're going to someone else's house... pack food!
Since I was staying at my friends house... I needed to make sure to feed myself. I didn't really want to go out or order anything... so I brought some chili that my mom made... I got one of those Thanksgiving Sandwiches from Starbucks... some snacks, a Starbucks Via thing... some milk... just some good little snacky things. Really good!
5) Pay Attention to where you're going!
How do you not get lost? Pay attention to where you're going! That's just good advice!
6) Have Fun... Be Yourself
This is just life advice in general. Sooo I thought I'd put that in here too lol.
Byeee!
