And I dont have time to spend with her. I feel very guilty because she is so depressed. By the time I am finished ‘work’ it is time for dinner and then I have to do dishes and take out the garbage and then I read for 30 mins before bed (I HAVE to read before bed or else I cannot get to sleep it is weird) and she is sooo bored of me. (I am eleven years old) Sometimes I set up mini-agility-courses for her but she is still so bored. Here is some stuff about her:

Female spayed Border Collie/American Eskimo mix. 7 years old. Been with us 6 years. She was abused as a puppy but is not afraid even if I pretend to hit her (Which I ONLY do to make sure her abuse-responses are gone). She is all black and LOVES nature walks at rivers or in forests etcetera…

Luv,

Now that my rant is over, would you like a cupcake??
My only brother lives in Calgary (I live 12 hours driving away), and my parents work from 8:30-5:00. All the dogs I walk do not get along with others except for one that I only walk once per week. I really wish I could take her, but that would seem disorganized. A business that comes in with a 30-year-old experienced, licensed dog-walker doesnt bring their dog and say ‘Hey I hope its okay I brought my dog she doesnt get walked much because I am here walking your dog’. And I cannot say that either!! I plan to keep my business going until I graduate, at which point I am going to go to college to be a veterinarian.

    Why don’t you let her come along with you when you walk other dogs. I can’t see how much more suitable that would be! Just check with the customers before hand. Explain that you have no time for your dog and that it will be helping her. Maybe those with friendly dogs will be glad your dog can play with their dogs. Border collies especially need LOTS of stimulation, and I’m sure a mix is no different.

    Well then you basically have to decide what is more important, your business or your dog. I would deminish some customers if I were you.

    The dog is completely your responsibility at 11 yrs old? No siblings or parents to care for the dog or take it for walks? Why can’t you take her for walks along with the dogs you get paid for? It doesn’t seem fair that you would care for other people’s dogs and your own dog suffers going w/o walks and gets ignored. Sorry, but if I hired you to care for my dog and heard that your own dog wasn’t being taken for walks and lonely – I wouldn’t trust that you’d do the proper job caring for mine. You don’t hire a house cleaner whose own house is filthy – at least I don’t.
