If you have a dog and you go away this weekend, you might need someone
to take care of your pooch while you’re away. But then there are people
who work all week and wish they had a dog only on the weekend.
Hey, wait — they could just share your dog with you! And people really
do this. There are dog-share companies out there who help people come
together to take turns keeping a dog. Sometimes whole groups of people
swap the same dog around and around. It’s a great idea: the dog always
gets food and playtime and attention, and everyone gets to play with a
pet. It works out perfectly — well, depending on the dog…
Answer the following questions:
1. What is a dog-share company?
2. What is a pooch?
3. Is it a good idea to share a dog according to the text?
4. If you take care of a dog, then your friend gets the dog, then you
get the dog, then your friend gets the dog…who gets the dog next?
5.
If you get the dog on a Friday and give the dog
back 2 days later, on what day does that happen? Bonus: If
you get the dog on Thursday from someone who got it 2 days before
that, when did that person get the dog?
6. If you and 5 friends all share Rufus, and each of
you gets him for 5 days, how many days does Rufus get
shared? Bonus: If you don’t feed Rufus
enough and he chews through your $250 carpet and $80 of your clothes,
how much did Rufus cost you?
