I did pet sitting for a couple of years when I was a digital nomad, and this piece brought it all back. It's wonderful to see the experience from your dog's point for view. Apollo is the best!
"I don’t have the right hardware for the chortle." is the best 😂 and that Apollo's universal currency is "balls". Oh, to come back in the next life as Apollo!
So fun. Apollo has a pretty good life. Gonna check out rover.com the next time we have to board the dog. The bill from commercial boarding seems more like a 5 star hotel bill :) Our dog takes two medications a day now. He is very chill and will let me put my hand in his mouth as long as he gets carrots or cucumbers before and after :)
I think I wrote about Denny pretty frequently in my old Substack and included some occasional photos. He is now closer to 18 than 17 and still going strong. He's a cocker spaniel BTW. I often wrote about his unusual food habits. Here's an old photo of him. https://photos.app.goo.gl/iZFcmTwz6uxFHefm9
Here's a very old story with the ultimate clickbait title -- it's a little bit about Denny and includes a photo https://markdolan.substack.com/p/all-hail-crucifer -- I actually got a couple of messages from people outraged by the title :) -- absurd -- it is a shame that sense of humor is not a gene everyone gets
BWAHA. OMG, I loved his answers and I loved that it was in the voice of The Dude.
🥰🙏
Apollo seems more qualified than most of my colleagues - when can he start?
Haha. Tomorrow. 😊
This was fun. Love our animals! 💜
This is soooo clever! I can tell your dog gives you plenty of great material to work with.
“Yo, dude, I know you can’t reach that Great Dane’s asshole, so you just gotta trust that he’s cool.” 😂😂😂 and “I guess
I just like slapstick.”
Thx, Julie. 🥰
Every time I felt I couldn't laugh any more I read another line... and laughed some more! Absolutely BRILLIANT, post, Carissa!
Thx, Rebecca. 🥰
Bravo! Brilliant job capturing the mind of the dog
Thx for reading and commenting! 🥰
Can’t stop laughing! The puking grass and bile as I race to move Ryder off the carpet, or better yet outside. Check (just yesterday 😂)
And the swallowing of pills!!! Clamping their jaws shut like somehow that will make the pill go down.
I loved this. And Apollo.
Thx! 🙏🙏
The pictures😍😍
I love Apollo’s life purpose and that he says Dude!!
Hehe.
Hilarious! I have 2 cats. In my mind, one has the voice of Marc Maron and the other sounds like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.
Haha! Those are great voices for cats. Love it.
That was fun

Thx so much!
You probably have some good pet sitting stories. 🙏

Pills are the worst! I’ve been finding success lately camouflaging them in cheese, but those calories add up.
Ah yes, the cheese. Apollo also has a weight issue. Sigh.
Ugh. Nothing is easy!
LOVE this.
Am going to copy and paste just for fun. Great post CK. PS: Balls would be my dog's answer as well.
Thx! 🙏🏻

Why have I not heard about your dog? Did I forget?
Rover is great. We lucked out finding our sitter. She was reasonable. Many are as you say, think they’re running a 5 star hotel.

Wow! What a cutie. And living a long wonderful life. ❤️

Haha. Great title! Thx for sharing pics of pooch and cruciferous veggies.:)
Dogs are great. Wonderful idea to interview them :)
Hilarious!! I can totally picture Apollo saying and thinking it all. Well done! ❤️
Thx, sistah. 🥰❤️ You know your nephew well. Hehe.
