Today, I had to watch my grandparents' dogs.

Today, I made sure my puppy went number 1 and 2 before taking them into a pet-friendly store. In the store, two ladies awed at my puppy, but as I picked him up I didn't notice he'd shat on the floor until they pointed it out, giving me a dirty look. Other customers glared as I picked up his smeared shit. FML

Today, after spending eight weeks making a life-size clay Cocker Spaniel in class.
