I've had quite a busy weekend because I have a visitor staying. My visitor is called Archie and he's so cute. Here's Archie
A few months a go I joined a company to be a dog carer. Basically after filling in an application form, then having a telephone interview they then visit me at home to interview me and check my home and garden are safe for visiting dogs. References are checked and then if everything's ok, I become a dog carer. I get paid for each day or part of a day the dog is with me. I have no expenses to fork out as the owners provided all their food and treats, brings their bed, toys and lead. Insurance is provided by the company I work for. I just give my time to care for my visitors.
So Archie is our first visitor. He settled in well and my dog Sherlock has accepted a new friend into his home really well. I did feel sorry for Archie at first because Sherlock would not leave him alone but they have both settled down now and are like old friends. It's a great way to earn a little more money and my daughters get to have a second dog ( they are always pestering me to get a second dog) without me having the expense of having another dog. I hope future visitors are as easy as Archie has been. Think I've been spoilt with my first easy visitor.
I've seen the brochure for those dog carers, it sounds like a great scheme. What a cute little dog Archie is, I don't think my Archie would take too kindly to another dog in his home, he's too much of a pampered pooch.
ReplyDeleteyour menu sounds yummy! Lamb is something we don't eat much of here in Ontario (Canada), we did when i was a child but it seems I never see it in the shops,
ReplyDeleteArchie is so sweet he looks a little sad, I think it would be wonderful to babysit pets for people, we did it for our friends but to get payed would be great, like a business, like you said , your children would be happy and you earn a little extra, a win win !!
Your menu sounds amazing, you eat very well!
ReplyDeleteCaring for dogs sound like a great way to earn some extra money and give you dog some company, what a good idea. x
