terrieI often watch the neighbors' dog. They're both professors, so often have to leave for a few days to go to confrences, give guest lectures, etc. In the past, my parents or I have done it for free -- after all, if we travel, they watch our dog, right? Only, with me living at home, we haven't needed anyone to watch the dog, Max. I'm broke and never travel, so if my fokls are out of town, I watch the dog.
Since I've been doing most of the watching and they so little, this time the insisted on paying me. Now, their dog is EASY. Feed him twice a day, walk him twice -- just around the block so he can do his business. So I figure, $5/day is fair, right? Only they never asked me what I was charging. They just paid me. About three times what I was going to ask for.
