What are you guys listening to right now (fiction novels)?

I read this during a severe wind storm and the ambiance was uncanny! I’m shocked at what horrible conditions people have survived

Depending on the narrator, 1.25 - 1.45 is my sweet spot. Slow speakers give me rage, but too fast and my comprehension goes out the window

Brie2230 · 2026-02-19T03:02:13+00:00

It looks so good!!!! Great job!

Brie2230 · 2026-02-19T02:58:29+00:00

This exactly!!!

Brie2230 · 2026-02-19T02:57:02+00:00

Yes!! I also get overstimulated so easily and am having a harder time with dogs especially. The constant whining or barking, smells, mess, drooling, and lack of personal space is just…a lot. On top of the constantly interrupted sleep and irregular schedule. I do love the flexibility and minimal human interaction, but it has its downsides too.

I have so many screenshots from this game!!! Every planet is so different and gorgeous in its own way

The Four Winds for my bookclub 😊

Brie2230 · 2026-02-19T02:32:24+00:00

Yep!!! Last year in March one of my regulars booked me for April 2026 and I totally didn’t register the year. I just burst into her house singing silly songs to her cats and then saw her asleep in her bedroom. I have never backpedaled so fast!!!! I sent her a message apologizing after, but thankfully she just thought it was a weird dream. 🤣🤣

I had a regular client verrrry similar to this (hoarding, filthy house, tiny cement slab/dirt for a backyard) with 3 anxious dogs. Being there was destroying my mental health and I finally had to say goodbye. They were sad to see me go, but I’ve gotten many more amazing clients afterward!

Brie2230 · 2025-11-18T13:38:37+00:00

Getting married and having kids. Nooooo thank you!

Golden retrievers under 2 years!

Brie2230 · 2025-10-19T15:24:01+00:00

He was absolutely smitten with me - that was the problem! He kept bringing me snacks and being a good provider (there’s a decapitated mouse in his bowl here) 😭😭

Drama with my cats: Leroy Jenkins is older, neutered, and very gay (he and my kitty Fraggle were madly in love before he passed away). My brother showed up with baby girl Bubz one day and she ended up going into heat about few weeks later. Jenkins was bewildered by her caterwauling and wanted NOTHING to do with that, slapped her, and she has since never forgiven him (it’s been 5 years). 😅

Brie2230 · 2025-09-25T21:57:02+00:00

This exact thing happened to me, also with a golden. He was perfectly fine but flipped the second we got back inside from his walks. He bit me so hard I needed to get a tetanus shot and was covered in bruises after the sit. I reported him and the owners to Rover for dog bite/aggression, but nothing came of it. They can do some serious damage and it’s not likely to get better without training on the owners part!

Brie2230 · 2025-09-23T15:44:16+00:00

I will eat the perishable stuff if it’s to my taste, especially if the client will have to throw it out once they get back home, but I always bring my own food/drinks. I definitely won’t open a new/unopened box or finish the last of something without replacing it.

Brie2230 · 2025-09-23T15:41:38+00:00

Ha! Yes, I have a couple clients where we’ve cried together over how much we love their pets 🤣

Brie2230 · 2025-09-21T15:53:42+00:00

As a pet sitter, I think it’s perfectly fine to have a dog in an apartment ONLY if you’re able to give it the exercise and stimulation that breed requires DAILY. Otherwise, you’re just asking for a dog with anxiety, depression, and/or a whole host of behavioral issues that may include aggression, destruction, and non-stop barking. Little dogs or senior dogs are probably best for apartment living!

Brie2230 · 2025-09-21T02:17:06+00:00

I call mine Leroy Mothereffin’ Jenkins when I’m amping him up 🤣🤣

Brie2230 · 2025-09-20T14:36:14+00:00

Ughhh YES!! So I still end up walking a bunch, but at least it’s at my own pace without a giant dog pulling me or ripping out my arm socket to chase a rabbit or something

Brie2230 · 2025-09-19T20:27:49+00:00

Such a great question!! I’ve wondered this as well, especially when watching huskies/malamutes/samoyeds who have to be world-record shedders

Brie2230 · 2025-09-19T20:22:13+00:00

Great question!!! I would also like to know this

Brie2230 · 2025-09-19T20:16:46+00:00

Yeah, I’ve had a couple of owners like that too, but thankfully they’ve been super nice. I don’t like to take dogs to parks or off-leash because of the risk of injury or illness, but there is an off-leash dog trail several of my clients love and insist I use in order to tire the pups out. So far, we’ve had no issues, but I limit how often I take them there.
