double dawg dare!
"And now", cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
-from Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
I'm dog-sitting! And cat-sitting!
Marcel & Sidney (dogs), and Sebastian & Eli (cats, in order of seniority) and I are leading an unsupervised and untamed existence for the next five days. Last night the dogs ate chicken jerky until their eyes glazed over, then romped in the people bed late into the night. Then we had an episode of midnight barking and someone landed back in their kennel. Marcel and I went to The Perfect Cup this morning, where we had iced tea (he got his tongue right in there before I could stop him and he started slurping! That dog does not need caffeine) and split a blueberry muffin. He had a big bowl of water, too.
The cats are a little lonely but for the most part well behaved. They did scoot their water bowl *almost* to the very edge of the counter, in the process of flinging water around, one of their many hobbies. They also had their Olympic events last night up and down the hallway, once the lights were out. Sebastian is very large and hits the floor like a bowling ball.
Before its all over some lucky canine is going to get a bath. I can smell it!
Its almost impossible to get any knitting going when one is surrounded by untamed beastes.
Stay tuned to the Knit-A-Log for developments.

The kittykats have been known to knock the water bowl all the way off the counter. Knuckleheads.
Glad to hear all five of you are having fun!
