Well as far as operating a business goes, I'd say we had a pretty smooth first day. Marja and I went out together again for most of the day so she could be introduced to even more of your pets. Once we are both familiar with all the dogs, cats, fish, etc. we'll be able to ensure we can provide the most flexibility in terms of scheduling.
We did have one "exciting" moment today but it happened to Coulee and thankfully not one of your pets. Marja, Tundra, Coulee, Ponz and I were out at Popson Park having a great time soaking in the sun and hiking up and down the coulees. The dogs were tiring themselves out playing and running up and down the hills and we were tiring ourselves out climbing up and down those same hills. Then disaster struck. Or rather, then Coulee struck.
By the way she was acting, I could tell she was getting ready to roll on something dead and smelly but the grass was too tall for me to see what it was. Just as Coulee started to roll, I caught up to her and saw what she was rolling on...a dead porcupine. Yes, my dog was quilled by a dead porcupine. How smart was that? Luckily she didn't get any on her face, just her paws, back, legs, belly, tail and behind her ears! Thankfully we were near the end of the walk and Tundra and Ponz were quite tired so they didn't mind waiting for Coulee to be de-quilled.
