Our furry little houseguest

We're watching the Nicolaysen's little dog Percy for them while they're out of town. We haven't had a dog in a few years, and for some reason Drake and Lucy are PETRIFIED of dogs. They're definitely curious about dogs and they laugh and laugh with delight to see them run and play. But the second a dog comes within two feet of Drake and Lucy, they freak out and start screaming.

Anyway, Vanessa, if you read this, Percy is doing just great. He is eating and drinking and getting plenty of walking. Sky and Bart fight over who gets to take him outside. And George was actually the person who got him to start eating. Despite all the smack he talks, he has been very kind and gentle with him.

Oh, and he only peed himself once. Luckily it was in the entryway on the stone tiles. He's really being a good dog for us.

Soooo....I guess at some point (not for a while yet), we need to adopt another dog. I think Bart and Skylar are at the age now where they will really enjoy playing with him/her and can be trusted to help us feed and walk the dog. Plus Bart's doctor said that it would be a good idea to have a dog around for Bart. It would be really good for him to build a bond with a pet.

Alas- I have to go get ready for errands and work soon.

I am soooo relieved he is being a good dog and your kids are enjoying him somewhat. I hope y'all don't hate us! I told George if he gets too annoying just take him to the pet spa and we'll pick him up when we get back.
