Dog Sitting




Numbered ListWe watched my mother in law's dog for a night this weekend. Rhoadie is an old friend of Dan and Jules, so they generally enjoy their visits. We hadn't watched Rhoadie in some time, and I had forgotten what a neurotic mess he can be. He followed me EVERYWHERE for the time he was here. I said:"Rhoadie go lay down!" about ninety times in a twenty four hour period. Rhoadie has a history of murdering birds, so we wanted to keep him from the poultry. Jason thought the best solution was to tie him to Jules, so he wouldn't get into trouble. Jules was thoroughly pissed off, but I was amused. They couldn't agree on which way to go, so they went nowhere.

Buahahaha, I guess that solved the problem. Too funny!

ps.: I checked out some of your recommendations. Already started playing Spoon for baby girl. Have you ever heard of Midlake? I think you might like them.

That reminds me of the year I bought a leash splitter/coupler for Lucy and Karl. It was basically one leash that split at the end so that you could put two dogs on it. Well, bad idea. Karl always fancied himself a hunter and Lucy did not have time for that kind of nonsense. I used the leash for the humane society walk that year. Karl flung himself into every ditch and patch of tall grass he could find, and Lucy nearly choked to death in the process. He weighed more, so he always won.
