Thought you might like to know we survived our dog-sitting debut. Actually it was fairly easy except for a few incidents...such as whose room the dog was going to sleep in...etc. Poor thing was in a different room every night!
At times I think Holly wished she could just go home to have some peace and quiet. KA took it upon herself to be our guest's playmate for the week. Note: Holly does not usually play dress-up.
Our children did well keeping up with her food, water and going outside. I was rather surprised at how responsible they were. Who knew?
When it came time for our little animal friend to go back home we were all kind of sad. Mr Sugartunes agreed that it was "nice to have a dog around the house". After I picked myself up off of the floor, KA said "Mommy I miss her already".
Who knows what the future holds for us regarding owning a SMALL dog? A fully trained, not a PUPPY small dog...only time will tell. Do you hear that clinking sound? My no animal armour has been completely undone by the sweetness of a pup...hmmm, maybe we could just be the regular dog-sitters and get a fix every now and then...
and now...TOP TEN THINGS WE LEARNED WHILST DOG-SITTING:
Number 10: When dogs give you clues they need to go out, please let them out. Don't go back to sleep. I repeat Do. Not. Wait.
Number 9: Dogs are not into "dress-up"
Number 8: If you give them table scraps they won't eat their own food.
Number 7: Don't.Ring.the. Doorbell. unless you are used to having the dog become Jr. Guardian of the family.
Number 6: They really don't like their crate.
Number 5: When you leave have them stay in it anyway.
Number 4: Lucy was on to something when Snoopy would lick her and she yelled : Dog BREATH!
Number 3: Small dogs can bark really loud.
Number 2: They love to snuggle you.
and Number 1: Dogs love you no matter what.
