Happy 2020! We Dog-Sat

We got a call on New Years Eve that a friend's father had died. They asked if we would go by their house and get their mail, etc- which we were glad to do. They also have 2 dogs, and seeing an opportunity to see how our family does with an animal, I asked if we cold dog-sit. Of course they let us. 

Welcome S'more. 

She was a really cute dog who didn't know what was going on. She was a little afraid at first. Amy and Tyler loved petting her. At one point (on day one) Tyler was petting her when Will decided to come over and tackle them. Well, S'more didn't like that and reacted, by biting Tyler's face. Geesh, this was not going well. 

With our friends headed out of state to the funeral, and us with the dog, we had no option but to keep her. We started giving her some space (although she was attached to me- much to Amy's chagrin.) 

After a few days she weakened me and I let her curl up on my lap and even sleep in Amy's bed. That's when she really started to settle in!

She really is a sweet dog, and very obedient. We aren't sure we are ready for our own dog yet though. They are a lot of work! I've gotten selfish in my independence. Amy is allergic to dogs and is still really bothered by them. Her poor face was swollen and her nose was sniffy the entire time. She tried to convince us (through a nasally voice) that she was fine, but her efforts were in vain. We finally had to return S'more to her home, but it was fun to have her here! Maybe a granddog is the best option! 

 

Oh and mom and dad were here with the dog fiasco. I'm sure they enjoyed watching the comedy show that was us with a dog!
