Walking the neighbors' dogs

Miles:



Bill:

The other night we needed to return a couple of items to the library. While we were headed towards town, we stopped by to ask our friends down the street (Robb and Anne) if their dogs -- Bill and Miles -- would like to join us for our walk. It took Anne a minute to figure out we were serious, but of course we were.


It was a nice walk; the dogs were really good at spotting rabbits. Elaine and I like dogs, but they sure are a hassle, so it’s really nice to have neighbors that are happy to share their pets. It’s kind of like being a grandparent.


Anyways, if you like animals, but you don't have the time, money, or disposition to own one, there is likely someone living near you who would be happy to let you walk, pet, or play with their pet. Just ask.

As a recipient of your dog walking/pet caretaking gifts, I highly recommend you to any interested party!

We babysat a kitten this weekend. Lola LOVED it and, not surprisingly, Pip hated it.

I'm so glad you're doing this blog. It's great to keep up with y'all. We miss you!
