Petsmart job

Hi everyone...

I started at Petsmart as a Senior pet care specialist and today I got to spend from 9:00am til 1:00pm in the play rooms! My favorite was the big dog room where the bigger, more aggressive dogs play. I got to play with Tuscon, the 180lb Great Dane, and Solomon, the 150lb Rottie. Tuscon came over to give me a kiss, and I think his mouth was big enough to cover my entire face. :D

Peej and Bailey get to go to work with me and spend the day in doggie day camp on Friday. I hope they behave themselves around that many new dogs!

Anyway, what have the rest of you been up to? :)

CONGRATULATIONS! I can imagine that has got to be one of the best jobs. EVAR. :D Do share pics (if allowed)! :D

Myself? Applying at Petsmart. Seriously.

I am slightly irritated because the folks who run the one here don't have ANY idea what they are doing. You know how they do the job preview thing? Well, I was doing one of my bi weekly check ins and the manager that I spoke to said, "Well, um. I don't even know if we are using that system to hire people any more. You'll just have to apply again." I have no problem with applying again but their incompetence and lack of knowledge about their duties aggravates me.

Also, applying at vet clinics and whatnot.

I love my job at Petsmart too. I'm one of their dog trainers, and LOVE it. I get paid for puppy kisses and to watch them grow up in front of me.

Yeah, I have issues with the management too, but I'm not going to let that ruin the fun I have with the pets. I wish we had the Petshotel in ours. We don't even have a vet in ours yet (but then again, its a new store)

Yes, its called the PetsHotel. They offer Doggie Day Care, Doggie Day Camp and boarding.

I never thought I'd see anything sad there...it's a fun place, after all. Today 3 dogs between the ages of 10 and 13 were dropped off for a week. :( One was full of mats and stickers, one was almost totally blind and the other had arthritis. I sat in their kennel with them for awhile and almost cried so I had to leave them. :( :(

On a brighter note, two boxers tried to eat my hair. :D

Sounds FUN!
I didn't even know about the PetsHotel! Ours just got a Banfield. I wanted to work at Petsmart but I can't drive yet and walking there takes an hour because it's 3 miles away. I got a job at a Walgreens a few blocks from my house. Niño and I sometimes walk to Petsmart though!

Wow! That's cool that your PetSmart has doggy day care.

That's a shame about those dogs. Give them a big hug for me.

Watch out for your hair!!

The one with the swollen feet

Thanks for the impho on my feet. My feet swell so bad and I am in so much pain. The swelling goes up my calfs to my knees. The pain is so bad I sometimes can't get up if I'm bending. I put my feet up when I can but the swelling never goes but the more I'm on my feet the more they swell. I went to a couple of doctors and I think they think its nothing other than I am on my feet alot, So if anyone else can help I would appreciate it. I'm Audrey's mom. Thanks, Bobbi
