So there I was minding my business. It was 2001. I was with my dog Duke at one of the local dog parks. In the distance, at the top of the hill, I see this guy. He is surrounded by dogs. I wasn't sure what to make of it.
As they got closer. I got curious. I asked him what he was doing with so many dogs. He told me that he was a professional dog walker.
What? A professional dog walker.
I was down on my luck. I was lost. I was looking to find my way in life. I have to admit. Much like I am today.
I'm going to draw the parallel. Dog walking became my OpenSea.
This guy was great. His name is Brian. And we still cross paths on occasion. I asked him all about dog walking. How do I become a dog walker. How does it work. Brian pointed me in the right direction. He gave me several tips on what to do. If I wanted to become a dog walker.
Aside from Covid, when things shut down. It's been a great run. I met my wife walking dogs. We have three beautiful children together. And even though she and I are no longer together. I care about her very much.
Anyway. All good things come to an end. That is the one downside of dog walking. At least when you have been in the business this long. When I meet a puppy, or a new client for the first time. I know how it ends. But you can't let that reality keep you from enjoying the moment.
