But. I have a penchant for exaggeration. Rena and Teddy are my full-time responsibility, but other women will feed the horses. I'm living in a rental; the other house is my client's, damaged by a fire and under repair.
Rena is a rescued Border Collie, skittish and shy. She just hopped up on the couch, as if she knew if was writing about her! She incessantly licks a quarter-sized piece of pink skin on her right leg, which her owner said is like an earlier spot that healed naturally. So I watch, wait, and worry, which I'm not supposed to do. They don't seem to worry in The City Different. Maybe I can catch a little of that.
What kind of dog is Teddy, I asked. "He's a black dog," said his owner. She sent his DNA for testing and found Lab, Schnauzer, and a couple other breeds. Also a rescue, he's grown in confidence over the years, his owner says. Teddy sleeps on my bed on a favorite fuzzy blanket.
We're not yet 24 hours in to being on our own, so it's too early for patting ourselves on the back. But. Both ate all their dinner last night (kibble and fresh ground beef) and I got up before 5:00 a.m. today so they can have their morning walk at the usual time. *pat pat pat*
So far, so good! Hope you're enjoying the high barometric pressure and low humidity! Awesome that Teddy gets to sleep on his favorite fuzzy blanket in bed with you.
ReplyDeleteI have a great respect for you, getting up before 5 AM! I've only seen that early in the morning a few times in my life--mainly when having to get up early to catch a flight or go to some kind of far away appointment. Anyway, Teddy and Rena are two good looking dogs! Sounds like everything is going well so far!
