About 45 minutes from now, I’m interviewing a pet sitter, or she’s interviewing me. We have to travel next month and are in a new place and need to get cracking finding someone to stay with our Zoe.
Normally folks are knocking on our door asking to take Zoe home with them for the weekend. But as we’ve only been here for two weekends (the first one we were sick) we’re going to pay, and dearly, for this service.
Zoe just jumped up on the sofa and is comfortably at rest/sleeping for now while the rain pours down outside. She hates water she can’t control. Jumping into a pool, river, lake, pond is fine. Baths are fine. Rain, not so much so Jim put on her Ruffwear coat this morning. I don’t dress my dog, but when it saves me a load of laundry, I will. She looks so cool in it! Sorry, photo problems.
I hope she’s not too hard to handle. Mostly, I hope she behaves and is treated well by her new sitter. As a herder, she loves “routine” and it’s simple, just has to be followed and we’ll all be happy campers. Cheers! Dee

Never do anything fun with a herder once, because it will become “routine.” Full-bred herders I wouldn’t know how to deal with but with a little “stupid happy” thrown into the mix, as in she loves folks and will settle down and sleep a lot and not bug me in the kitchen, I can live with. Good girl, Zoe.
