Seven weeks and I have two rants, a complaint, and a "WTF?".
Rant 1: The Owner: Owner has two Bulldogs (maybe English ones, but I don't know.) She's boarded them twice since I started, and had the same issue both times.
She has lists. One for each dog. These lists detail what we are to do to her dogs every morning, afternoon, and evening. The list includes "AM butt wipe", "PM butt wipe" (yes, we are supposed to wipe her dogs asses twice a day.), wipe the face wrinkles AM and PM, Feed the vitamins twice a day (It's a fish-oil pill and a vitamin E capsule. Twice a day.) And we must sign off when we do it.
Now, the dogs get bathed before they go home, so the butt-funk is dealt with. We have to feed the dogs the pills, but these are people pills, you know, doses in a size for a person. I take the same dose of Vitamin E, and I only need 1. These dogs weigh 50- 60 pounds, and they are getting 2!
The rest of the list is mainly annoying.
Rant 2: The Coworker: Coworker J seems kinda cool. Granted, I've only worked with him a few times. Anyway, another coworker called in yesterday, said he was sick and can't come in today, so I covered his shift. So, we are supposed to have three people in the back today: me (Peon), Coworker H (Manager type person, because the kennel managers were off), and Coworker J (Another peon).
We have 30- 40 dogs in house, with 25 more in camp and ten in grooming. Guess who NCNS? Coworker J!
Apparently, this is (maybe) his ninth NCNS. Front end people called him, he didn't answer or call back. Grrrrrr. We had to feed, clean all the kennels, do all the activities, everything, with two people. I'm so thrilled, can't you tell?
The Complaint:Why do you have a dog? I've been here seven weeks and seen your dog board four times! She's a sweet old girl and she hates it here! She wants to be with her people! MEAH! (inarticulate sound of anger and frustration).
/complaint.
And now:The WTF?: We offer bottled water, shopping sprees and bedtime stories for our clients. We are a kennel. Our clients are dogs and cats. Sometimes birds. And we offer bedtime stories.
