[nagdu] Entertaining doggie while sick?

[debby phillips]

Hi Abigail, I have let friends walk dogs for me when I was really 
ill and I knew they needed some exercise.  I gave them very 
strict instructions.  They had to walk the dog on the left, they 
had to pause for curbs, and they were to try and keep the dog 
away from distractions.  My dogs always came back very glad to 
see me, but willing to be calmer until I felt better and it was 
time for them to work.    Debby and Neena
