The Dog Whisperer

Emily is a dog person.  She L-O-V-E-S them.  Little ones, big ones, furry ones, white ones, black ones, pure bred, puppy, adult, rescue...you name it.  I, unfortunately do not share her passion; I like other peoples' dogs, but do not want one.  Todd grew up with them; my family had one for a week.  'Luckily' I was diagnosed with an allergy to dogs so that seems to have worked as a reason for keep Coco, the guinea pig our only pet.  Since being dog owners isn't an option for us, Emily has looked for other ways to be around them.  I used to ask her if she chose her friends based on whether they had a puppy or not.  She assured me that she doesn't.  She and Todd then decided that she could start a dog-walking business.  That excited her and up went the posters around our neighbourhood. I am happy to report that she has some 'clients.'  For a 10 year old who really has limited exposure to dogs, they really respond to her and she in turn is in her glory.  It's a win-win.  I call her the dog whisperer.
