I am living with three strangers
They are not people, but they are strange.
I am the dog sitter for someone's three Great Danes while she is in Switzerland. I live with them, and it is a strain.
One of them has terrible gas. I am not sure which one, but I have my suspicions. In a way, they are like people....cut one and pretend nothing happened. That terrible smell?? Don't look at me. I am innocent.
And they have a terrible sense of timing. I want to go to bed, they want to play. I want to sit on the deck, they want to come inside. I want to sit inside, they want to go on the deck.
And poor Bennett can't play because he has something wrong with a knee. I heard OCD, but he seems as focused as a dog can be. He has been very good about going out into the little yard while Cooper and Gwen go play in the big yard.
Dietary habits are puzzling. I don't know what Bennett was eating, but it was really wet and fabric like. It might have been a dryer sheet. All I know is, I looked over at him and he had a beard.
Gwen eats anything she can. Look away and she sneaks into one of the crates and munches in there until she hears me coming.
I discovered tonight the surround sound on the TV is great until a doorbell rings. That sets all three of them running around, barking at each door. The damn show I was watching had a doorbell going off every 5 minutes....I missed half the dialogue.
Throw in the bizarro cat, and you can tell I am losing my mind!
Earlier I had Gwen laying on my lap and the cat sitting on my lap, licking Gwen's ears! Gwen weighs over 150 pounds, and it is not a pleasant experience when she lays on you.
But they are good dogs. They keep looking at the door. I think they are waiting for Emily to come home.
Nine more days, my friends......until then, I keep a handy supply of dog treats in my pockets!
