Write it off as an expensive (at her income level) life lesson, and

Don't say a word to the people who referred her- she doesn't want a
reputation as a difficult-to-please sitter. And if she sits at any other
houses with puppies, put the shoes in the coat closet and close the door.
Can't blame the dog- that is how dogs investigate interesting new smells.
(Hmm- this is interesting. Wonder if it is food? 3 categories for dogs-
stuff that can be eaten, stuff that can be humped, and stuff that needs
marking.)


Hello.

Thanks for your input.

You're correct, you can't blame the dog, and she's not attempting to.
