| My friend Holly |
A couple of years ago I was at a coffee morning when a lady whom I knew slightly was bemoaning the fact that she couldn't find a dog sitter. We got into conversation and somehow I offered to look after her two dogs.
Two years on I'm still looking after her dog. Sadly one dog has died but I still look after Holly, a delightful Border Terrier. I'm now looking after her for the ninth time.
It's no hardship! The house is in the countryside about eight miles from my home and in a village where I have several friends. I treat each visit as a holiday. I don't take any "shoulds", "oughts" and "musts" with me. I take prepared meals and some sort of project to do, and I just chill.
So it's win:win for my new friend and me. She can get a dog sitter at very short notice pretty well whenever she wants, and I get free holidays.
What a brilliant arrangement. :-)
ReplyDeleteWorks for all of us!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a win-win situation for both you and your friend. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Holly Dog too, I hope. She wouldn't like kennels.
