In Switzerland.

I get the job in Switzerland. So I went. I was always hoping that one day I would work with horses or dogs. And it finally happened. So now I was sitting in a car with my employer's father in law. He was buying and importing dogs like German's Sheppard, Dobermans, Boxer and selling them there for a lot more.
Trip was exhausting. We spend two days in a car. But we finally got there.

Stables were located on a huge property surrounded by forest. Attached to a stable was office and a small dinner.
As we entered the stables we were welcomed by a bunch of barking Labrador Retrievers. Martin (my employer) was also a dog breeder. And I learn that he had about fifteen females and a one male stud.
In the stables were about twenty horses of different colors, sizes and breeds. My job was to care for these gorgeous horses and beautiful dogs. And help in the diner and feed the exotic birds in huge cages I forgot to mention. So I've had a lot a work to do. Day by day I was feeding animals, cleaning the stalls and dog kennels,brushing and riding horses, worked as a waitress and dish washer in the diner.......

I was happy but by the third month I was also very tired. It was almost December, my birthday was coming up and Christmas too. So with tears in my eyes I said good bye to all horses and dogs, packed my bags and went home. I never regretted that I went to Switzerland. I learned a lot.
