Our pets are staying behind and friends are watching them for the first time. I left some directions with meals, routines, and behaviors they each have. I thought it would be fun to write a cliff note version. These are phrases I'm pulling out I hope they pay attention to. Good news, our friends love dogs.

Your dogs must be related to mine! Except I'd have to add 'Don't leave food on the counter because Star will eat it.' Funny!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just giggled out loud. My dog growing up needed large rocks in her bowl to slow her down. Gotta love those furry kids. I'm sure your friends will enjoy your notes.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Writing notes when leaving your pets with someone is so much like writing sub plans. You think you've been thorough, but there's always one thing that hits you when you are halfway to your destination, and you smack yourself on the forehead and say, "I forgot to tell them about..." Hopefully, you've thought of everything. If not, I'm sure it will make for an interesting blog post!
