Day 2614 Dog sitting.

11th October 2024

I had spent my first night looking after Ryan and Louise’s two dogs. They are both lovable but loud, especially at food time.  Their eager barking could easily affect my hearing.  

I tried the system I use back in the US with Phoebe and Dharma where I let them out in the back garden, then prepare their food, then let them back in.

Well no, it doesn’t work for Dexter and Bobby, they won’t go out. Bobby bounces up and down barking all the time, it’s like he’s on a pogo stick.

Dexter just stand there and barks. They know it’s food time, and want to watch every movement I make.

I had to be a bit of work in the cottage, mainly putting things away, a general tidy up then it was back to the dawgs.

I thought I would take a chance and take them for a walk, this entailed getting them in to their collars. This was no easy task with both of them jumping and barking. I did manage to get the collars on, not necessarily correct, but it’ll do.

The we set off for the playing field with Bobby pulling every step of the way, he has a lot of strength for a little un’.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
