Day 60 Joy in researching side job ideas.

This summer I have been reading books on how people created their own businesses as well as on dogs.  Many of the books I have been reading say to start by looking at what you are passionate about.  Well, there are many things I am passionate about, ofone being loving and caring for my dog (as well as my kids!).  So as I was reading about the healing powers of dogs, I started brainstorming dog therapy ideas as well as working with dogs and kids down the road.  In the meantime, a neighbor mentioned/asked if my daughter was interested in doing some dog walking for a friend of hers.  I got to thinking more about it, as I'm not sure it would be her first choice, but it got me searching online for business in the area and anywhere about dog walking.  Ironically, about the same time, a friend posted that there was an opening in a bigger city's business for a dog walking and pet care job.  The only downfall was the drive as well as the over-night in home sitting that wouldn't work for me.  So the excitement of the search continues as I am coming up with name ideas and creating a logo.  Being a town a good 20-30 minutes from a big city, another neighbor today agreed that many people in town would probably love having someone check in on and play with/walk their pets while they work during the day.  You have to start somewhere...so we'll see!
