Dog walker

As I sit here typing on a very rainy - blah day out I have to wonder, can I get a dog walker?

I don't have a dog. I love dogs, but I can't get one now. First I have no extra money for another living thing, even a fish (times are bad). But second, which may be more important than the first, I'm not sure I can garner that much responsibility. Another life? I haven't moved from the couch in four hours (except to eat the rest of my giant cookie in the fridge).

So this had me thinking. Can people get walkers? In lieu of a creative name for this I will call this "dog walkers walking people". I guess I should add an "Inc." at the end to make it sound more officially weird.

But really, I wouldn't mind someone coming to my home office to remind me to get up, out and walk around the block.

We wouldn't have to say much to each other. I surly wouldn't get up and leave everyday for mindless chit-chat small talk. But I hear vitamin D is important and I haven't gone outside during the day all week. Working from home has it's high and low points. Like you have the freedom to walk around with a pony tail on the top of your head and wear white strips, glasses and a mu-mu. However, walking outside to get a cappuccino you tend to feel guilty. I start to think "would I want someone to charge me for them to walk around to get their cappuccino?" No.

But I'm sure there could be an elaborate presentation showing the positive work effects of employing the Dog Walkers Walking People Inc. Maybe if I had more vitamin D I would have the minor ambition to create said power point. But I don't.

I haven't been walked.
