AHHHH CHOOO!

Ok...we are SO DONE with this dog-sitting gig. Although I expected it to be a pain.. and not fun.. because guess what... WE ARE NOT DOG PEOPLE. Oh the kids like to THINK they are dog people... but they just make the poor thing more hyper than she already is. Goddess help us. See the problem? It's the whole, "we are not dog people" issue.

SO really... when you are told that.. by the way, I am going on the road for training for 3 friggin months and need you to watch my less-than-1-year-old-puppy... what are you supposed to do? He watches our kids WITHOUT FAIL whenever we need him to, and many weekends when he is just plain bored. But HIS grandchildren are a whole different story... they are not puppies. I am not allergic to THEM. They are finally past the whining, barking, clawing at the door, digging up the backyard phase... and we stopped at 2 because we DIDN'T want to go there again.

So now what? We can't tell him that we CAN'T watch his dog... what in the HECK are we supposed to do? This is just a week.. how in the HELL are we to deal with 3 months?? Not to mention the fact that my 2 sweet CATS hate us now and hiss at us whenever we come within 5 feet of them.. which is relatively infrequently as they now are forced to live imprisoned in our front room so the dog can't attack them. ugh ugh ugh

Not to mention the fact that $HIT... it's CHRISTMAS-TIME and I haven't had a chance to shop but ONCE... and on top of that I need groceries, and toiletries, and necessities.. and well, I have a STORE TO RUN ALSO. Why o why did he decide to become a trucker this year?

WE ARE CAT PEOPLE... do you get it now??
