If the librarian thing doesn't work, I guess I'd be happy being a professional pet and house sitter. Right now I am caring for 3 dogs and a cat. The dogs are a big black sweetheart named Isabelle, a cute Bischon Frieze named Ferdinand and Sweet Pea, a little something or other dog..plus Mishka the old man kitty. It is fun. I think animals hold a special comforting ability for the people in their lives. They all have such special personalities also. They seem to know when you're feeling down and they like attention (well who doesn't). Plus pet sitting in home is nice for the animals because they don't have to be kennelled that way. It's less disruptive to their standard routine. And they get mor playtime with me because I don;t see them often. :)
