Doggie Daycare

This weekend we "dogsat" for some friends. This basically consisted of us actually trying not to sit on the dogs. Our friends have two little white fluffy dogs that weigh about 4 pounds each. The only dog I've ever owned is Dixie, also known as "The Sixty Pound Beast." We're not really used to having to watch where we sit around her.

Anyway, we adjusted to our weekend with tiny, breakable puppies with the help of these instructions from Caleb...

Lucy is the white one, Maggie is the brownish/gray one. If you mix them up they will never forgive you.

Directions:

-1 scoop of food per day in the evening, 8-9 o'clock usually. If you're late Lucy will remind you and be really annoying. Maggie is sometimes funny about eating, but if you sit on the couch and put her bowl on the floor next to you she usually eats.

-If you want Lucy to come, her command is: "GET OVER HERE"
-We didn't realize we taught her that until it was too late...

-Their vet is Babcock North across the street from the old HEB. 210-690-6030
-We hate them, don't take your animals there.

-They stay in their crate at night and during the day. Just tell them to go to bed, they'll do the rest, except lock the crate (no hands).

-Any other questions? Call Bethany!

Jeffrey and I spent a while laughing about this. I remembered one helpful hint from Bethany about the dogs, too. She had told me that if you ever want the dogs to leave an area they're in, just yell "GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!" and they will leave whatever room you're in, regardless of if it's the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.

All this valuable/comical information came in handy when Lucy snuck out under a hole in our fence and escaped to the neighbor's backyard. Jeffrey and I stood on the fence slats at 10 pm alternately screaming, "GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!" and "LUCY, GO TO BED!" until she meandered back to our backyard.

Best part of the weekend? Built in fluffy foot warmers!
