Got a new dog sitter!

My parents have informed me that they want to dog sit next time we go on a long vacation. Oy Vey. It's going to be a fight between the in-laws! They might have to meet-up midweek on a Wednesday night to switch or something (mind you they live 6 hours apart). We have no vacation plans for the next year.

On the other hand... all my family loves my dogs. They were all concerned that they were "wild" and made lots of "messes"... but they fell in love and don't stink nor have accidents inside. We, well really DH, train them well. 

Can't wait to see the "fight" when the grandbabies ever come!

Re: Got a new dog sitter!

  • Can your DH train my dogs not to bark at every. little. noise. ??

    Our dogs only like my parents. It takes them forever to warm up to strangers, including my ILs!

  • Spray bottle of water... like you would use on a cat. Works with the in-law dogs. Now only if they did that when we weren't visiting, it would stick with them!!! We also hold their mouths shut if they are w/in grabbing distance. They don't have the force to open it when we hold it shut.
  • I'm jealous you have them to watch the dogs! I think my parents would but they're 9 hours away so it's a little impractical. So far we've had good friends so watch her when get leave for the weekend. I'm still nervous about finding a place for her to stay when we leave for a week in May :S
