Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
As a pet sitter… Do you think I should start charging hazard pay? 😂😂😂
If any Haitians are found lurking in the neighbourhood, the hourly rate should automatically double.
Agreed 👍 😂🙌😂
In all seriousness…. Some of the places that I pet sit at, there are Mountain Lions, Havelina, etc. Most places don’t even have dog doors because the dogs can’t go out without being hunted by another animal. I’m generally out there with them all the time if they’re small for certain. One of my clients wants me to check the side yard before I even allow the dog to go out of the house. I get it though, because this little dog is the most precious in the world and my favorite. The dog got lost once eight years ago, and they found it. It was a miracle. She’s so precious and I get to go sit with her this week for five days 🥰
But to be perfectly honest I think Haitians are more dangerous than mountain lions and havalina 🤷♀️
