What do you do…?

Off Topic

  • I work at the post office, sorting and taking mail out to my customers.
    I am lucky to have a Rural route along the Hood Canal…where I can see subs and many
    marine transports.
    I don't mind the work, if the bosses would just leave us alone...but they just can't. sigh


  • I work on a Quarter Horse Breeding Farm.We breed Appendix and straight Quarter Horses.They are all Hunter under Saddle horses and I do all the ground work with the young horses.Handling when they are just foals and then working with them to get ready to be broke to ride.
    It's alot of work as I also do all the barn work as I'm also the farm manager.
    If that wasn't enough I also work at my friends poodle kennel 2x a day,helping with kennel chores and grooming.Then I also dog sit for 2 JRT everyday,(I just let then out)there dad works 3-11 shift and they need to get out before then.
    Then I come home and take care of my crew of B's.
    I wish there where more hours in a day!

  • I do agree that it isn't just about the job you do but also the people you meet every day, be that going to work on the bus or the folk you work with. I would go mad if i stayed at home all day. I have a 19 year old daughter who is studying to be a microbiologist. I also need to work to keep her at university :-)


  • I'm a customs co-ordinator for a trucking company at the Queenston-Lewiston border crossing 5 days per week. I also groom 4 days a week right now. Plus I have 3 adult children at home with the husband and 5 dogs, 2 cats. I also have a grandson I take care of every other Sunday. Count in editor for the BCOC newsletter as well as researching various things. So I am left with very little time.

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).
