Actor needed for emotional role – One day high pay
Date: 2009-04-17, 12:52PM EDT
My deceased aunt gave my two kids a Cocker Spaniel a few months back. The dog has been a terror and become overwhelming for me. I am a single father raising two young children. I cannot face telling the kids that the dog must go. I have found a good home for the dog, and just need someone to transport the dog, and play the villain.
Premise: You will be the dog walker hired by daddy (me) to walk Skittles. I will introduce you to the kids, and you will tell them you are going to help Skittles get her exercise when Daddy is too busy to walk her. At that point you will walk Skittles to your car and take her to her new family 20 minutes from my place. Then return holding just a leash. The story will be that Skittles broke free of the leash and took off. At this point prepare for crying, things being thrown at you, and possibly cursing. My kids are young and dramatic, their girls.
Pay will be $500. The job will take roughly 2 hours at best.
This job is ideal for an actor looking to diversify their role base, or someone who genuinely likes to make children cry. Acting experience is a plus, but not necessary. Please inform me of any prior experience in this kind of situation.

I wonder if this dad overwhelmed dad ever found an actor to fit the bill?
But more importantly, doesn't this seem like a bit of a parenting cop-out? I mean, really. We had a dog. We couldn't care for him anymore because he needed more attention and space to run than we could provide. We explained that to the girls (who were four and one at the time). And they missed him, but they got over it. Life lesson taught, life lesson learned. (Admit your mistakes when you get in over your head, and do something about it.)
Such an elaborate plan, just to not have to tell kids the truth. But maybe I am being to hard on him. Thoughts?
