Son decides to go on hols for 2 weeks so we are babysitting a dog, a cat and a van.
Yes a van, he dumps the van on me with a 3 section ladder still attached to it with no padlock, I hope to hell he is insured!
The cat, as many will know you cant let outdoors for 2 weeks until they get familiar with their surroundings by which time he (son) will be back so I am stuck with a litter tray in one of the rooms....yuck!
The dog is a menace "yes dad its house trained" says he, well not in this house it aint. Can you buy disposables for dogs? Has already chewed 2 pairs of shoes, 3 paintbrushes, 1 carpet, why oh why does it never chew electric cables?
Then it ran off so I spent 20 minutes looking for it only to find it sitting in the garden. It also nearly killed our own dog as we got it some chews for a small puppy dog so our Collie gets one stuck in its throat, we had to pull it out.
Why are small young cute looking dogs such a menace! And he has only been here 2 days! I am sure it has a death wish, I may just oblige.
