Bogie and my moonlight walk the other evening. The moon was beautiful.598C7485-6BE7-477D-B29B-7D967E862353.webp

This guy had Bogie at full alert and trying to get up the tree after him. He decided to wait him out with lots of whining, pacing and jumping. He has him almost as far as he can go on the buttonwood mangrove limb. Was about 4’ long and temperamental. No problem for the swift scissor jaws of a Doberman.

So my life has changed a lot within the past week. One of those is that today I started a new job at a dog daycare, although I will still pick up shifts at the restaurant when I have time. Right off the rip an Australian Shepherd bit me, and not lightly either. I have a pretty big swollen bruise on the side of my leg now and it hurts. It was unprovoked (I literally was walking not even by him) and apparently he’s bitten 3+ people, why is he still allowed to come?! I understand these things can happen with the nature of the job but, after it even happened two times why?

Other than that, it went pretty well. Literally paid to hang out with dogs. Other than the one asshole dog, the rest were awesome. Literally all breeds and sizes and they ALL want attention. I don’t think this is something I’d want to do forever but it will be relevant experience when I complete my vet tech program, and I’ll have a reliable income in the meanwhile. Or maybe open up my own daycare and do it my way, there was relatively few dogs today (12) and they say there’s often up to over 80 on typical days!! It has to be chaotic. Guess I’ll find out!

Lucky is my fav, she’s a senior Boston terrier and not only is very sweet but reminds me a lot of my Odyssey.

This is Brody, he’s a four month old GSD. He’s a really good puppy.

And my bite! I plan on showing the owner when she gets back from her trip.

^^^^^ Ouchy on the bite! All really good in every other quarter. 12 sounds like a good number of dogs for one day............how many people are needed to handle 80? :shock:

@Tropicalbri's Lovely moonlight shot. Moonlight walks are wonderful especially if you can do without a torch. Everything looks magical. That iguana is an evil looking lizard!
 
@Brioddy i am unhappy to hear about your bite. That really upsets me! The Day Care should not allow that dog to return until it has been evaluated and an evaluation done by a behaviorist. Also it needs to be reported to the Vet and the ACO. After my last bite that required me to be hospitalized is still in the front of my mind when I deal with new animals in the clinic.

This job will most certainly help you with your new career as a vet tech
and I am thrilled you are doing it. It’s so rewarding.
Congrats!!

How wonderful! What a great job! Except for that damn bite! I agree with Bri, that dog should not be allowed back! And yes, I would definitely show the bite to the owner. :tap: It's too bad that it happened. A scary thing for sure. And also painful, damn it! LOL Aside from that I hope you have a lot of fun there!
