So if we arc lucky we sec them once or twice a year. Therefore, it is seldom that I am asked to babysit for them. But pets arc another story. When my son and his wife flew to Chicago to attend a wedding, I was asked to tend their two dogs. One is a year-old German Shepherd mix, “Bandit”, that loves to jump up on me to show his affection. This is not my idea of the ideal behavior when I must feed him on a Sunday morning. Their other dog is an Australian Shepherd puppy, “Joshua”, that is very good at losing his feed and water dishes. We never did find the one until a few days had gone by. He is to be trained to herd cows, but being a pessimist. I’ll have to see that to believe it My four days with Cindy’s black kitten, “Stormy”, is another story. This is a house cat, and it did use its litter box which I greatly appreciated.

So when I finally caught it, I pul it back in the house, and then ii actually cried to come out again. Ii was afraid it would get lost in the heavy foliage that surrounds oui lawn, and then when Cindy came for it, it would be gone. Anyway, she arrived from North Carolina one evening to gel her pet. She let it in the yard and ii promptly climbed a tall tree as a thrush was scolding it We could not coax it down, and so my sot had to get a tall ladder and go up after it or I’d still be pet situng Famous Ford Mid-Size Muscle 32-85 H.R iiuMgal 2K^
