Sleeping with the dogsitter...

Skinny is on vacation this week. Well...he's kind of on a mini vacation. It's been a rough week for Skinny. The couple we met through has given us a really hard time about our relationship and it interfering with their "game time." I'm use to this guy complaining about me cause I took away his friend but in reality, I didn't. Skinny is the same guy he was 5 years ago, just more confident. While he's gone, I'm taking care of his cat, our dogs, his fish, and his parents dog.

Our dogs are 20lbs and 13lbs. Their dog is 88.8lbs. My parents came up to visit as well bringing their two small dogs. It was A LOT of doggies in my house. After they left, everyone napped. It was adorable.

 

Isn't that cute!? I was stuck in the corner with a pillow in my lap and a pillow on my side. Shortly after this picture was taken, it started thundering and that big ole 90lb guy was almost in my lap shaking.

 

This is the dogsitting went wrong. The wind was still strong so I went to feed everyone. My babies LOVE food and will eat each others and Buddy's food. Buddy is very apathetic about eating. He didn't want his breakfast, he's not been real into his dinner. So my dogs food in their kennels and put Buddy's food in the master bedroom.

 

As I start walking away, I hear massive scratches on the door in the bedroom. So I run to yell at him and let him out and step in piddle from one of the dogs from earlier in the day. I looked out the window, saw the box that Skinny had sat next to the recycling (not in the recycling since it's empty) was flying down the driveway heading towards the street. So I take all the dogs out, yell at them to stay which was completely ignored. Our little girl came running with me as did Buddy. I kept yelling at Buddy to go back to the house. As I grab the box, I hear my neighbor's 30 year old son yelling. I look and my little boy is barking like crazy at this guy so I have to run over (the entire length of our plot to pick him up. Buddy also ran after this guy but wanted to be friends.

 

All this while fighting wind and carrying a box that needed to be broken down and in the recycling. Needless to say, it's back inside.

 

But since then, the dogsitting has been great. He's sleeping at my feet. One is sleeping in between my legs and one next to me. Soon we will move to the bed where Buddy will sleep on Skinny's side and snore awkwardly just like Skinny.

 

The good news is I made the right decision by staying with the dogs instead of going out with friends. They need me tonight. Skinny agrees. I love that man.
