Instructions For Dogsitting My Precious Furbaby

Don’t worry, I’m a super chill pet parent.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for agreeing to dogsit Hershey while my boyfriend and I go glamping for a few weeks.

You know I take Hershey to work with me every day, but since you can’t really take a dog into an operating room, you’ll need to take some time off. Being a brain surgeon is cool and everything, but it has its downsides, no?

I’ve jotted down some quick notes just to give you an idea of Hershey’s routine to which you must STRICTLY ADHERE.

Haha, I’m kidding! I’m a super chill pet parent, remember?

6:00 A.M.

Rise and shine! Hershey will wake you up at the crack of dawn and present herself for a brief 15-minute head and neck massage. Please pay special attention to her ears, since that’s where she holds all her stress. You’ll know you’re doing it right if she falls back to sleep.

6:15 A.M.

No rest for the wicked, am I right? While Hershey gets her beauty sleep, please prepare her breakfast as follows:

1 scoop small kibble
1 scoop slightly larger kibble
1 scoop wet food
1 baked, unseasoned chicken tender
3 Omega-3 salmon oil cubes
1 glucosamine chew
