Day: 30. August 2010

One day in our small town, an ad went up on our town bulletin board. It said:

NEED: A petsitter?
Call: Eva Williams at 407-999-4362

I couldn’t believe my eyes! Eva Williams is my elder sister! She had always wanted a pet, or at least be a petsitter, but after what happened last year…. I didn’t think she would try again!
So you are wondering what happened last year, well let me take you back to two years first.
—————————————————————————————————
Eva has always LOVED animals, but mom is allergic to any pet hair, and my sister, even though it is true that she loves all animals would like to have something to hold. Eva also likes to write stories and is always looking for new story ideas.
One day we were at my Aunt’s house, and Eva was walking there dog Daisy, and I was walking next to her. Then I had a idea, “Eva you could write a story about a petsitter who on her first job, killed the dog!”
“What!”
“Not intentionally, but the dog ran out in the street or something.”
“Wwweeelll. But that does give me an idea! I could be a petsitter!”
Eva’s idea took a year to get off the ground, and she never did use my story idea.
——————————————————————————————————-
The same billboard post that is above appeared last year. Eva got a call a week after she put up the ad. The call was from Mrs. Granger, asking for Eva to watch her dog Lucky, which was a Mastiff. Eva was so happy I thought she might rip our house to pieces! They set up a time and Monday morning in the summer of 2010, Eva’s first client showed up.
————————————————————————————————————
Lucky was very hyper, but Eva was still excited. She fed Lucky and took her for walks. But the tragedy happened right in front of Mrs. Granger. Lucky was out side for a walk when luck ran super fast and jerked the leash out of her hand!
Luck ran out in front of Mrs. Granger’s car! Then Lucky got hit and died! Mrs. Granger was so mad she mad Eva buy her another Mastiff, and they are the most expensive dogs in the world! She finally raised $1,250.00, but she had to use the money she had been saving for an iPod touch. She was broken hearted. Not because she didn’t get a iPod touch, well that was part of it but I mean she LOVES pets, and she just killed one! So now you know why I was surprised when the ad went up this year.
—————————————————————————————————–
She got a call from somebody who had just moved in, and it went really well. So her petsitting career went well. She still loves pets and says she will always be a petsitter, and nothing tragic happened again!
