Howling and peeing :)

Tonight will be my last night pet sitting for Powell and Mimi. They are such sweet dogs- I will miss them a lot (hopefully they'll need me to pet sit for them again soon)!

Whenever someone sings or plays music on an instrument (such as the piano), Powell feels the need to 'sing' along too. He does the same thing when someone howls. Only about 15 minutes ago, I managed to capture a video of him doing just that with me. He is definitely one vocal dog!






In addition, I went with my mom to Barnes & Noble today for some coffee, snacks, and reading. While I was skimming through one magazine, I saw something that made me giggle- a device called Whiz Freedom. It enables a gal to pee just like the guys do. :)

 

I could definitely see how this would come in handy, though... particularly during lengthy road trips!

 

 



In bed with Powell and Mimi

Once again I am blogging from the bedroom and am joined by Powell, as well as Mimi (Powell's a Vizsla, Mimi's a Dachshund). While Powell has been by my side constantly and has always slept with me from the first night I pet-sat him (which actually was only a few weeks ago), Mimi has gone from somewhat keeping her distance from me to following me around almost as much as her 'brother' does.

In fact, here is a picture I took of them about 15 minutes ago. Mimi was lying down with her head under the covers with Powell, but she awoke while I was taking the picture- though I think the result turned out adorable. And yes, that is Powell curled up under the blanket behind her. :)

 

And thanks everyone for the well-wishes. I feel a bit better today (at least my nose isn't really running anymore), but I still feel lethargic and out of it which is also due to the fact that I'm still not really sleeping through the night. Well, I'm hoping that tonight will be different.

 

I hope everyone else also has a great night and a restful sleep!

On the job

So right now I am doing some overnight pet sitting. I've been here since last night, and the 'parents' will be back tomorrow. The one dog has been by my side pretty much since I arrived here; sometimes if I am going into another room, he will press his body against me and whine loudly as if he is trying to prevent me from going. He appears to have separation anxiety issues and doesn't want to be left alone, poor guy.

Here is a photo that I took of him about 15 minutes ago laying down in bed next to me (he's still cuddled up with me as I type).

There is also a little Dachshund who is adorable, though I haven't taken a photo of her yet. I'm coming back here to pet sit again later this month, so I'll most likely take one of her then.

Anyhow, I'm going to sign off now and watch a Netflix movie on my tablet with Powell (the dog in the photo). Have a good night, everyone!
