The Nine Days of Dog Sitting

On the first day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
A yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the second day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the third day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the fourth day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Four paw prints on my work clothes
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the fifth day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Five great big howls
Four paw prints on my work clothes
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the sixth day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Six hours of whining
Five great big howls
Four paw prints on my work clothes
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the seventh day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Seven licks on each leg
Six hours of whining
Five great big howls
Four paw prints on my work clothes
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the eighth day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me
Eight bruises from standing on me
Seven licks on each leg
Six hours of whining
Five great big howls
Four paw prints on my work clothes
Three shredded couch cushions
Two dumpsters full of strewn trash
And a yellow puddle on the kitchen floor.

On the ninth day of dog sitting my two dogs gave to me...

Oh, hey! They aren't my dogs! What a wonderful reason to be thankful.

But I think I may wait a good long while before I try that again. Maybe even two whole weeks.

Hopefully your current residence's pet won't "give" you any of those listed...although, he's been known to give great big leg whips with his tail and LOTS of nuzzling.
