Dog Sitting
Today has been a peaceful day with the pups. Linda let them out early
and I turned the pack out again about 6 AM. We have had wrestling
matches in the floor and on the bed. There hasn't been a real 'dog
fight' yet, we slow them down when it gets too rowdy. We had a couple
customers for mums and hay that set off a barking frenzy when they rang
the doorbell, but other than that it has went smooth. Linda took them
for a walk around what we call the 'horse shoe' and when they came back
from that they were ready for naps. Missy, Pico and Poco were all on the
three couch pillows sleeping, when Linda and Stacey went to town. I just
laid on the love seat and watched them. Every now and then there would
be some little noise that would cause one of the pups to raise an ear
and then lay back down. When the girls came back from town, Linda had an
old sweat shirt that she cut the arms off. I took one of the arms and
held it up to Poco to size it for him. I cut the hole for his front legs
and slit the wrist band to give him some extra room for his head to
slide through. Getting it on was a little trouble, as I'm pretty sure
Brent has stuck socks over his head and made him pull them off himself.
Once it was on, he was going to tear it off, but I distracted him with a
toy for long enough that he forgot about it. Then it seemed like he
liked it because it kept him warm.![]()
I think they are getting used to being here and the routine we are using to
keep them occupied and the floors dry. You never know what tomorrow will
bring though.
