A Great Weekend Dog Sitting

    I was soon bringing Bouncer treats when I was going out for a run, I could tell he looked forward to me comming to see him because he always met me at the end of the yard. It was also good motivation to keep running everyday. After a few months Kathy & Don began asking me to come over & grill out with them. I loved playing with Bouncer & they were really nice people & we got along great.
Then one time when we were eating Don said ” Carla, we know how much you & Bouncer like each other & we were wondering if you’d be interested in dog sitting this weekend, I know it’s short notice but something came up & we need to be out of town” It was short notice, it was Wednesday already, but luckily I had nothing going on so I accepted. We agreed I’d come over Friday after work & stay until Sunday, it wasn’t like I was far from home or anything, if I did need something from my apartment I could just walk over & get it.
That Friday was one of the worst days at work I have had in a very long time, it was one of those days when everything just goes wrong, it was very frustrating. So when I got home to pack I decided to mix myself a drink. I rarley drank but I felt one wouldn’t hurt. It would get me in a better mood for Bouncer.
When I got over to Bouncers house he was happy to see me, his tail was wagging & he followed me all around the house as I got myself familiar with it all. I did find a liquor cabinet & decided to help myself to another drink, because I still wasn’t in the greatest of moods, I still felt a little depressed.
I finally sat down on the couch & began watching a little TV, Bouncer seemed content to lye there & let me pet him. That was fine with me, after my fourth drink I was happy to just sit & relax, I was feeling really relaxed now I was actually a little drunk, I hadn’t been drunk in about six months when I went out on the town with a friend of mine when she came into town.
