The ultimate test of responsibility for myself and Ty -- we are looking after Pat and Alexis' "Mush Face" this weekend! I was given a flurry of instructions last night; with a "more detailed email to follow". Pat has repeatedly told me that Pearleen is "his special girl" and that I better treat her right. Apparently she may be a "bit pouty" at first and I'm going to have to "win her over". Yikes. Here are some of Pat's instructions:
The rules to baby sitting our pup:
Feed a cup and a half twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night.
Fresh water at hand always.
She craps three times a day.
Always on leash and no doors in house left open so she can escape.
Should she ever try and bolt you have to get mad at her and tell her to sit and stay! Dogs like a pack leader! You will be her pack leader!
She is very affraid of fireworks, thunder and loud sounds. When she hears them she tries to bolt.
She is not a fan of large crowds.
Keep the leash short unless she is trying to cut a loaf off. Then she needs a bit of room.
Do not leave her in a car too long.
She loves to play fight. Especially if you get on your hands and knees and fight her like another dog.
She will shake a paw, sit, lay down and gives kiss, kiss.
She will be very shy.
Pat and Alexis are off to Toronto to take in some TIFF and to enjoy the city...I am jealous! Please say hello to Lainey for me. Oh -- and Brad Pitt, too.
