My first Pet Sitting job


Well this evening was the begining of my pet sitting. Am looking after 2 lovely french mastiffs for the week end. Zeus and Tally. They are wonderful dogs and live on the outskirts of Aberdeen. They have a lovely country home where we just have to walk down the drive and over the feilds to the woods and Loch.
Tally was a little over excited and didnt eat all of her tea but I did take a couple of big bones for them to chomp on through out the evening. Tomorrow i am going to seek out their brush and give them a good groom.
Now for the photo overload

When I read that I was thinking what's a french mastiff... of course... a DDB is a french mastiff.

Oh dear
These two are solid and almost knocked me over when I opened their kennel. Tally almost bit me when we were playing in the feild but it wasnt an intentional bite but they were getting a little over excited so I let them run off some steam then we walked through the woods a little. When we turned back towards the house they bolted and left me standing . I could see them clearly waiting for me by the front door.

Re: My first Pet Sitting job


I was about 14 at the time & working at the local boarding kennels. The guy in the paper shop asked me if I'd walk his dog whilst he was away - so I agreed. He was ok, until we walked past a couple of terriers & I had him on a short lead, as we went past them he got wound up & went to snap at them.... my leg was in the way. It hurt.
