House-sitting

Here I am again after a long absence...I haven't been able to find time to blog, so I have some catching up to do.

A couple of weekends ago I went to house-sit for a hospital client that was going out of the country for the weekend. This is not an un-usual thing for me to do, but it was the first time I had stayed at this particular home. I love house-sitting, mainly because people who ask me to do this are not poor, therefore have rather nice houses which usually include pools (and nice cars)! haha So here are some pictures of our adventures at that house.

On Sunday Kevin came to spend the day with me and brought our dogs who were very quickly put in their place by the small dog that I was watching. My dogs of course had to investigate every corner of the property and found a few things they didn't like so much...

All around the pool are different carvings of animals. As soon as the dogs caught site of this big cougar or whatever it is they both ran up barking to investigate (Ok, anyone who knows Mansin knows that he was scared first and wouldn't go anywhere near it) and finally got close enough to sniff and realized that it was no threat. I still caught them looking over their shoulders throughout the day though, just to be sure...

Charlee finally decided to join Kevin in the pool and didn't want to get out - I don't have any pictures of Mansin in the pool because he wouldn't go in without me in the pool also. So here are a couple of our water-dog Charlee.
