How perfect is this.

funny thing is I couldn’t run for 2 weeks and was seriously considering paying a HS kid to run with my GWP pup.

Hmmm… A little extra cash on the side, maybe… I am running anyway and love running with MY dog. I might have to look into this.
When I used to travel a lot for work I posted an ad around my neighborhood looking for a dog walker/sitter and found a college student who loved to run. I paid her $10 a day to run/feed them when I was gone. When I wasn’t traveling sometimes I’d come home to a note saying she took them for a run. I was bummed I didn’t get to run them that day. She said she’d be out for a run and just hear them going crazy in the back yard as she ran by the house. I guess they could smell her and they associated her with going for a run. She just couldn’t ignore them. I used to have to speed home from work to get to run my dogs! Actually I normally saw her at some point on the run and she’d hand them off to me if they were just starting their run or I’d run with her a ways.
20 bucks/30 minutes seems cool to me.
I really love running with my boy. I gotta admit I definitely let the type A go-It’s his run so if he needs to stop or sniff, we stop, we sniff. Still seems like a good gig.
Course Goose needs a good hours. Those folks pups are putzes.

Yeah, I’d have mixed feelings.
On the one hand I’d be glad that she loved my kids and looked out for them. On the other I’d miss running with my kids.
My latest guy I think, is dog enough for two, as long as it’s cool.
In Hawaii his stamina would be less than in Illinois. He actually rested for the first time in a run yesterday morning.
