diaries of an incompetent dog sitter
When you're dog sitting for friends who are off on vacation, the kind of dog owners who call back at least once a day to make sure the dogs are OK, that's a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. I think there are probably 2 things that tie for the worst thing that can happen under your watchful eye and don't reflect well on you as a dog sitter.
- dogs learn to open front door, start exploring neighborhood, while you're in the bathroom
- dogs eat your entire deep dish pizza while you're playing Madden 2005 on PlayStation. such a good game.
Luckily for me, I'm only guilty of allowing the first of those transgressions to have occurred. I'm betting that by letting Daisie find out about that through the web, there will be a veneer of impersonality. An "All stories are fiction," sorta thing, you know? She still has 2 dogs. I don't know what she'd be so mad about.
Now, it's occurring to me that I should have consulted Daisie for her position on humping. I really thought both of these guys were fixed. I kind of think of them as brother and crazy sister who has this OCD licking thing, but maybe that's not really the relationship they operate under.
