College roommate who I lived with for a few years after school (and watched 2008 Game 5.2 with and is from Conshy) became a dad tonight for the first time.

She was likely conceived on/near the weekend the Eagles won the Super Bowl and if she were a boy I think odds are very, very high she'd have been named Nick. But my buddy I think got a bit less of a say on the name with it being a girl. I have friends and families with kids with worse names and the one they picked is not an objectively bad one, just can't seeing it being his first choice.

I got my first message this morning. I was excited. Read that you have to reply quickly and take all requests when you start to help people find your profile.

Strange request. It was 11 am. She wanted me to board her dog for the weekend. She'd drop off at 1 pm. Incredibly short notice. Gave her the benefit of the doubt, maybe some awful emergency happened.

She then asked if I could pick up the dog. I said no. She would have to drop off. Fine she said.

When will you be back? Sunday morning? No. Sunday night she said. That's a decent amount of time for two nights of pay on Rover. However, I want to help and get jobs in the future.

She shows up in a Lyft at 1. Basically hands me the dog, some food and a leash which are in a bag. I asked if there is anything I need to know. No, she says.

She gets back in the car and leaves. Thirty seconds max.

I am worried someone just dumped their dog on me.



Hey Cal, how's the new dog?
man I drew all these penises for nothing - housh

Ha.

She took him back later Sunday night. She was still incredibly weird. Handed the dog to her outside her apart building. She gave me a decent tip. Said very little. Have her the small bag with the least and toy and food. She didn't ask anything about how he was or did that day. Wished her a good night and she scurried away. Made 70 bucks though. Not bad!

I would guess many people who use this service would be socially awkward--otherwise, they'd more likely find a friend, maybe someone with a teenager looking for a few extra bucks to watch their dog for them rather than a total stranger.

maybe i like dogs more than the average person, but i volunteer myself to watch a friends dog any chance i get. i agree, tho, i feel like it's not that hard to find someone to watch your dog.
I like teh waether

i think it seems like she was in an emergency and it may have been tough, thats why those services are so helpful. and i'm reluctant to ask people to do things like that too often.

Yeah it's a struggle. Especially when you have a dog who's afraid of most humans.
