Hi.

I'm Ilia Jones.  Minneapolis-based human woman writing and learning from each person and experience I encounter.  I write about things that inspire, challenge and move me and most things inbetween.  Welcome!  I'm glad you're here. 

The Dog (Sitting) Days Are Not Over

The Dog (Sitting) Days Are Not Over

For those of you who don’t listen to Florence & The Machine, go do that and then come back. I’ll wait.

Welcome back. Everyone reading this should now know that The Dog Days are Over is an F&TM song hence the title of this blog.

Since I’ve been back in Minneapolis something extraordinary has happened, I’ve become a go-to for dog sitting and I am not mad about it. In fact, I’m quite glad about it. I live now in constant fear that whatever made people think of me to sit their dogs will change one day and POOF all the dogs gone.

Here is an amazing gallery of all my sat dogs. Some are repeated because can you ever have enough photos of the same dog? (no you can’t the question was rhetorical)

LOOK AT ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGGOS! (complete with names)
