Walk the Dogs

Meet Max:

In Ella's words, "This is a dream come true."  The best part for me is that he's not OUR dog!!!
Ella decided that she would like to start earning her own money.  We don't do allowance and so she feels ready to earn something of her own.  This is how WALK THE DOGS was born.  We made up fliers and Ella went door to door around our block to everyone that owns a dog. That is so brave.  I would have just taped the flyer to the door and ran.  But she talked face to face to every person.  She was so scared and practiced for days on what to say.

She got a call back from her first client, Max's owner.  She will be walking Max twice a week and earns 2 dollars for every 20 minutes.  6 dollars an hour is not bad for a beginner!  She picks up poop and provides a treat.

She adores dogs and this helps her get her doggy time in.

We are so impressed with her as we have watched her do this.  She is very grown up with the adults and responsible with her first job.  She records her walks, payments, and tithing. All great life skills.
