That was a good plan or so we thought. The dogs and cat stayed home. I had someone house sit and thought the boys and the plants would be ok. I left food and water and a human with them, what could go wrong? Turns out I was thinking with my lower left brain cuz it all went wrong! The evidence was obvious. We didn't need CSI New York to help us discover the crime, nope. There were waaaayyyy to many dog treats left, someone who shall remain nameless did not give them their treats like a good dog watcher/house sitter would have. Dogs who are being cared for do not get out of their rooms and "eat" house hold plants and leave trails of potting soil through the hallways. Cats who are let out do not use the litter box nor do they leave cat hair all over the beds.
Have you ever been owned by a boxer? They talk. my boys talk and talk. Not this time, we came home and have been receiving the silent treatment. The boys are 6 years old and they have never been silent. 24 hours now we have been being ignored and treated like the wicked witch of the west. Dear lord, those boys are mad at me. They are speaking to and sleeping with Bubba (apparently they realize he is innocent and cannot be held responsible for decisions his mother makes about his life).
So the house sitter will not receive the esteemed and coveted duty again. The poor pets have been apologized to over and over again and the house has been cleaned and will be cleaned again. It's a mess. The fur... it's everywhere. House sitters don't clean house. Well, this one doesn't anyway. So there's a teeny tiny bit of dog hair in clumps, well one might call it colonies of dog hair in various locations throughout the house. I've swept, the kids have swept and we will be sweeping and vacuuming for eons. I love my Dyson vacuum that is incredibly awesome with pet hair cause it does the job it's supposed to do. I just wish it could suck that hair off the dogs before it hits the floor, or my pants.
However, we had a great Thanksgiving. All the usual food, family, friends and fun. VERY glad to be home
