Milestones.

Today, it happened. I always suspected it would happen before now, being a pet sitter and all.......and just when I thought I was scot free......bam.

Today, I got pooped on. Yep, lovely runny poop, right down the leg. I've stepped in it, accidentally touched it when picking up during a dog walk; I've even wiped the occasional dog tush. But today was the day I got christened. Bless the poor dog's heart who did it; she is a particularly anxious pup. I thought I was helping her by picking her up, because she was scared of the Yorkies walking our way. Seems I made it worse, as she chose that moment to let loose. And boy, do I mean loose.......whew.

I suppose it's one of the milestones you achieve in this job......not that you ever want it to happen, but it's inevitable. You will get licked, peed on, and sneezed on. You'll clean up cat vomit and hairballs. You'll wipe noses, faces, and furry butts.

But, to me.....it's all worth it. And it sure does make for some awesome stories to tell......
