Pug Sitter Says

I figured that since I don't work from home any more, I will need to use blurbs from the pet sitter's experiences to share on the blog. We actually have 2 pet sitters. One is Grammy. Grammy lives about 4 doors away and she works the Monday, Wednesday, Friday shift. And Auntie M, as we recently learned she prefers to be called, is on the Tuesday/Thursday shift. We have a form that we have them complete each day. (See picture below).

Well, Grammy is not so much tech savvy but Auntie M is. So, Grammy will complete the form and I will call her each day around 2 PM to be sure things are going ok. Auntie M on the other hand, will not only complete the form but she will also text and photos. This is outstanding since we get close to real time photo updates. It is most relieving!

So, I will periodically share some of the messages left to us by the pug sitter of the day.

Here is the first message that tickled my fancy:

In the column labeled, "How did I eat?" Auntie M replied about Benny, "Without coming up for air." Regarding Henry, she wrote, "Almost as fast as Ben." And about Luna, she indicated that she ate, "Like a princess!"

While on this day, Cupid was not observed eating, Auntie M did indicate that, "Cupid smacked Luna as she walked by because Luna gave her a dirty look!" (Which of course in Cupid's world, if a dog looks at her ever, it is assumed to be 'a dirty look'. Hahaha.)

Didn't take long for Auntie M to get the system around here. And while the photo shown is not of this matching story, it was the photo she sent me the same day via midday text. This photo completely shows that everyone is content being the lazy pugs on the sofa that they usually are just the same as when I am home.
