For the past six days Pete and I have been house sitting for my boss. Checking the mail, picking up the newspapers and making it look like someone is home is quite easy. Dealing with the animals however, is not.
My boss has 4 crazy dogs and one semi-crazy cat. Don't get me wrong we really enjoy them (mostly) but they have had their annoying moments over these six days. Lily (yellow lab) is hongry... not hungry, hongry all the time! She jumps on top of you at the first sniff of food and licks anything and everything that food may or may not have touched at some point. "Lily stop licking," has been said hundreds of times. Pete is scared of Bear (pit bull) because he makes "angry face." Duke is normally amazing but ever since he got his haircut he's got a pep in his step and loves to beg for rubs. And then there's Scooter. Wednesday night Scooter spotted an armadillo in the front yard and wouldn't stop barking at it... for hours... like until 3am. It. Was. Awful. Needless to say we were grumpy the next day. On top of that, one of the dogs ate Pete's new sandal. We aren't sure which one it was but we did find the sandal on Scooter's bed...
Fred, the fat cat, is very loving and likes to cuddle... more like he enjoys rubbing is body all over you whether you like it or not. We usually let him sleep in the room with us when we stay over and the first night we did. It was the first and last night of this stint that we did. He meowed tons, walked all over my lady bits, farted in Pete's face and sneezed in my ear. It wasn't what we were expecting. But we still love him!
All in all it's been okay. The extra money definitely doesn't hurt right now so we will do this as often as my boss offers. :) Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!
