More Dogs Than You Can Shake a Stick At
We have been dog sitting for a little over three weeks now. That does not mean that it has been the same dog the whole time. No. There have been three dogs on the list so far, and we are adding a fourth one tonight. Also, we have not been watching all of these dogs at the same time either.
First, there were the neighbors girls. They stayed at home, and we took turns visiting them three or more times a day. Generally, they are well behaved, and they survived Kels giving them almost four full boxes of treats in less than five days. There’s just something about giving a dog a treat and watching it get extremely excited about receiving the tasty morsel.
Next, we have Benzie. She has stayed with us several times, and Marj really likes having her around. She is a good dog, and pretty easy to entertain. She does like to pick up anything she can off of the floor, which can be unfortunate for Noah as most of his toys live on the floor. There is not an hour that goes by that you don’t hear someone say, “Drop it Benzie!”
Our cats don’t care for Benzie too much. They have gone as far as to retreat to the second floor of the house; refusing to venture out unless we carry them to their food dishes and litter box while Benzie is outside. We’ve missed a few times, and Peaches has left us a few surprises. Kat got the worst of it, unfortunately.
Now, we add Bentley to the mix. Marj took Benzie down to Bentley’s house for a visit, and they got along famously. So, we will continue to take Benzie down while we are caring for Bentley. We’ll see how it goes on my first visit tomorrow morning.
