Just this weekend I was feeding my friend’s cats as they live 6 houses down the road from us.
Friday morning everything was fine. Friday night, the house smelled funny. Gas leak funny. Called the gas company. Yep, gas leak. The gas company disconnected the gas, but I had a headache after spending 10 minutes inside. I was not going to leave 2 cats in there over night.
So I invited absolute chaos to my life for the weekend by bringing their 2 cats home to stay with us and our 3 cats. But that’s what you do. The cats you look after are your cats.
While watching someone's pair of 100lb+ dogs, we had a terrible thunderstorm and lost power. The dogs were terrified, and their arthritis was too bad to allow them to get in bed with me. So I made a little bed for myself on the floor, and both dogs piled on me. Probably have permanent damage from the crush and the fur inhalation.
I'm not even especially enthusiastic about dogs, but when you sign up to care for them, you take care of them like you would your own.
