A conundrum
One of the reason I house sit is that I love dogs. So, I house sit to be with dogs as I have none of my own now. The problem with this develops when I find a dog at work that particularly touches my heart. So far, I've fallen head over paws for Stanley & Tracy, their mom Maxie (who was adopted by a friend of mine, so I at least am able to see her ( Read more... ) -
Changes, Changes
I've been house sitting at one particular house for about twelve years now. I was here for Kaiser and Tequila, then Jameson and Tequila after Kaiser died, then just Jameson after Tequila died. This time, the two dogs are Clutha and Jazz, and it feels as though I'm in a completely new house ( Read more... ) -

Are You Sure You're a Cat?
I'm covered in fur. I have four paws and a long fuzzy tail. I have whiskers and am unable to say words as humans can.

I will practically trip you as you try to walk over to the food cupboard ( Read more... ) -

The birds, on the other hand, need a lot more attention. It's not only the feeding and changing the water; there's also the changing of newspapers and ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Gamer's Choice
Pong. State-of-the-art, classy, black-and-white. The line goes up, the line goes down. A little tiny white square drifts across your screen, and hopefully the line meets it and sends it back. Mesmerizing, addictive, and totally time-wasting!

Beach doggies
The house I am sitting now lies on a canal in a development called Sandyport. When I went out on the canal beach with the dogs here this afternoon, the ripple-splash told me I'd startled a sizeable fish! Most of the fish that congregate at this beach are small, about 1" and blend in so well with the sand that you don't see them until they move. ( Read more... )
