kmyoungs and i have a dog walking service!!!

this is where we will share all of our awesome dog-walking stories:

i'm already covered in dog shit for the day

i love all my doggies, but sometimes they get me dirty really early in the morning! this am one of my dogs had an upset stomach and as he doo-doo'ed on the side of the road he got his ear covered in it and then rubbed his head on my jeans. fun.



shameless plug: starting January 9th, 2012 I am available all days of the week to walk yo doggie! pm for more info!

12/9/2011 10:26:28 AM

12/9/2011 10:39:29 AM

I got a dog that needs walking.

12/9/2011 10:41:07 AM

I read this as shameless pug.

12/9/2011 10:47:27 AM

i will share dog-walking stories here...

how about the time i was almost dragged across the pavement onto ridge road by 180lbs worth of yellow labs?

or... about when one of my doggies caught a goose?

lol

12/9/2011 10:49:24 AM

Shameless pugs

12/9/2011 10:49:57 AM

... or when I was walking a dog that hates other dogs pulled me into the road, followed by me skinning my knees, all over a stupid ass pug puppy that was running loose.

12/9/2011 10:51:03 AM

our dogs don't sound very nice so far

12/9/2011 10:54:23 AM

My dog likes to attack leaves when we're on walks. Which in the fall means all the fucking time

12/9/2011 10:54:55 AM

most of yours sound nice

12/9/2011 10:54:55 AM

i'd let kmyoung 'walk my dog' alright.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

[Edited on December 9, 2011 at 11:15 AM. Reason : January 9th is my birthday i want a complementary 'walk']

12/9/2011 11:15:00 AM

who is this kmyoung you speak of?

12/9/2011 12:20:33 PM

im pretty sure that you shouldnt walk dogs for money if youre really bad at walking dogs

12/9/2011 12:21:41 PM

^most people hire dog walkers because their dogs are out of control and they cannot handle them (or they are too busy).

12/9/2011 12:23:06 PM

so they hire people who cant handle them to take them out near traffic?

12/9/2011 12:25:46 PM

I am more than capable thanks. Sometimes they get the best of me... And yes we walk them on I-40

12/9/2011 12:27:11 PM

lol something like that

i got them doggies handled now. literally eating out of the palm of my hand. they were just a bit rowdy to begin with

12/9/2011 12:27:26 PM

oh okay


i was worried for the dogs' wellbeing



do you use that muzzle-leash thing "gentle leader" or something

12/9/2011 12:28:29 PM

no worries Youngs, these fools don't know what we deal with.

i challenge anyone to hold their own with two neurotic 90lb labs who are using all their strength to get at a little frou frou dog.

or to handle Miss...

aw! i get to play with Miss all the time now!

12/9/2011 12:29:15 PM

yay

12/9/2011 12:29:41 PM

Can you walk Arthur for me? Holly finally stopped taking him.

12/9/2011 12:30:57 PM

where do you live?

you should PM betty, she is better at coordinating with the people.

12/9/2011 12:32:08 PM

You think she'll have a problem walking a 75 year old, obstinate, semi-racist, and almost senile father-in-law?

12/9/2011 12:52:35 PM

Haha I'm glad I got it without further explanation


How much do you charge to walk and do you do single dog walks?

12/9/2011 12:57:08 PM

yes... ^^^I just got the reference, I'm retarded

12/9/2011 2:19:19 PM

Yesterday when I was walking my favorite doggie, we chased the geese at the lake together, it was so fun! That tail just waaaaaaaags, aaaaaawwwww

12/11/2011 8:23:24 AM

tell me:

when you walk them dogs, do you represent Wu?

12/11/2011 9:16:14 AM

Are you bonded and insured?

12/11/2011 9:30:42 AM

I'm a sole proprietor and trust kmyoungs and my clients so I don't really need to be bonded as of right now (but we'll see how it goes as I pick up new clients).

I'm also fully insured AND have a business tax ID. Now that I'm switching to doing this fulltime I plan to start reporting in January because as it stands right now, I make very little money (and haven't exceeded my non-taxed limit for my business for 2011) but in Jan, it will be my sole source of income and I'll have to report it anyway.

so booyah

12/11/2011 9:48:46 AM

ok, serious question here.

how much if i want both of you to walk my dog at the same time? also, can i record this for future viewing? will that be extra? im sure everything is negotiable. i look forward to your prompt response.

12/11/2011 1:10:23 PM

12/14/2011 11:05:41 AM

TUTORING!! wooot wooot

12/14/2011 11:14:46 AM

tutor for $15/hour


easy $$

12/14/2011 11:15:11 AM

DNL IS INVOLVED IN THIS

12/14/2011 11:15:29 AM

sheit, i'm doin $20 and meeting at the kids house. MAKE IT RAAAAAAAAIN

12/14/2011 11:16:25 AM

well the tutors that charge $20 and $25 are licensed in the teaching field, so you have to set a lower price to get clients

12/14/2011 11:23:56 AM

danggg

12/14/2011 11:24:43 AM

You should take your business to NYC. I dated a girl there that paid someone $550/month to (daily) walk her 5 lb rat dog.

12/14/2011 11:31:11 AM

^yea, I have friends that get $450/month for walking 3 x a week in CA ... it is called a higher cost of living. If I lived in NYC I would still be broke

Not if you do ESL for high paid execs in the RTP area. I was making $40-50/an hour when I was doing that. But the transient nature of the families I worked for made it difficult to earn a real living on those hours.

12/14/2011 11:34:16 AM

^^I'm pretty sure that dog walker was making more than me, and I was doing alright up there

12/14/2011 11:37:30 AM

eh, point taken... I never plan on moving to a big city though...... I plan to move to a highly wooded area if anything

12/14/2011 11:45:58 AM

4/11/2012 8:29:58 PM
