Am I being difficult or is this just too much to ask a person doing another
a favor?
First of all I am not comfortable putting my hands inside of someone's else
dog's mouth and diffenately have no intention of picking out the eye boogies. In the past when someone fills in for me I would only ask to walk
Buddy and put his food down turn on lights and say bye-bye. Would you
expect a neighbor to do these things for your dog if it were only for one
night? |
Wow...that sounds a bit extreme to me. It sounds like you two just do favors for a day or two at a time, so HECK NO I would not be asking my neighbor to pick "eye boogies" out or anything like that. That's just WEIRD. And I wouldn't be doing it for them either. It would be a little different if it was liek a week or two when she felt like the eyes needed to be washed, etc, but definitely not for a couple of days...JMO
