Professional Dog Petter

When Jon’s first Petco store was nearing its open, he told me they had a position for a professional kitten petter. Not realizing that he was kidding, I thought my eyes would pop out of my face with gleeful surprise. I would have taken minimum wage and whatever else might come with the job as long as I got to pet kittens all day.

Although Jon has left Petco, he wants to continue working with a particular rescue group (maranathafarm.org).

They need volunteers to come and play with the dogs and give them one on one attention for socialization purposes. While that sounds logical and business-like, my only thoughts were “I get to go pet dogs all day and it’s considered work? Hot diggity dang!”

I realize the danger of doing this: I will probably be getting another dog(s) soon.

If anyone’s interested in volunteering (Maranatha Farm is located in Ridgeland, SC), let me know or contact Maranatha via the website information.
