This job must end!

Down with dog walking!!! Yesterday, the first day day ever that it wasn't one million degrees, I walked my two pm dogs (two huge muts, one doesnt walk so i have to lift her and the other was labeled "aggressive" and tries to bite me). When I got back to their place to drop them off (after climbing the 4 stories of stairs with them bc the aggressive one cant use the elevator for fear of biting people) the woman who owns them is there. SHe asked how they were and then told me her light was delayed until tomorrow. She was spontaneously going away for the weekend because her husband decided to leave her. Like a true gentleman, he picked up and immediately moved into a new place....right across the street. Oh, and he's taking her dogs and bird. Then, she starts crying. I'm standing there, drenched in humid sweat, hungover, and paralyzed with confusion. I met this lady once before for 10 min, do I hug her? Do I slowly back out the door? Or do I slap her around and tell her herr husband was a creep anyway? SO many options. I went for the sweaty hug. It was just as awkward as I expected. Like if you were to hug your teacher or something. Today I get to go meet the creepy husband at his new place. I'm bringing mase.
