ChicagoNow: "My dog chronicles: Becoming a professional dog walker"
Why I became a dog walker: I was the proud (and obvious to visitors) owner of a 13-year-old Labrador Retriever and a 9-year-old German Shepherd. I threw a full tantrum with my day camp counselor who refused to let me out of summer day camp during a tornado. Never mind the danger! My Lab was still outside. The minute they opened the doors (an hour or so later), I turned into Flo-Jo during the two-block run to get home and hugged that Lab for hours.
I equally spoiled the second dog. Rain, hail, sleet, snow. I walked her every single time I saw her. (I'd moved out by that time.) Unfortunately, both dogs have passed on, and I couldn't convince my parents to get another dog. (Hey parents, it's never too late. Just sayin'.)
After spending three months trying to buy a condo that allowed dogs, and not succeeding, I looked for alternatives to being around dogs. On March 2019, my answer was Wag. I am having a blast.

Dog chronicles: I have had the pleasure of walking ...
Note: Some of the dogs below are ones I have the pleasure of walking (or dog sitting) on a regular basis. This is why my Wag profile walk total is higher than the number of dogs below.
