Dog Sleepover

We are having a 4 day dog sleepover, and frankly it has been semi- chaos. Neddy and Lucy belong to my friends on the island who have International visitors, so have gone away for a few days. It's school holidays so you'd never get them into a kennel, and anyway, nobody likes sending their dogs to the kennel, me included. So I offered to look after them, and now that we have sorted a few things out, all is well.

Lucy (the big brown kelpie) is the top dog, and likes to make sure that Neddy doesn't have too much fun. Neddy is a maniac, who wakes up at 4.30 am and seems to keep on going til bedtime. I didn't quite believe them when they said he would be bringing me presents at 4.30am, but now I do. My fluffy slippers, Chloe's toys etc. Then failed attempts to get on the bed, then successful attempts landing on my head. So last night Ned and Chloe slept in the loungeroom, but I don't think Chloe was impressed being sent down there with him. They are friends though, and play together like fools part of the time. This is Chloe and Ned, with Chloe on Lucy's bed which I don't think she wants to give back.

Lucy and Simon slept with me, the first night it was one on either side with me squashed in the middle, but last night I insisted on having my own side, and there were no problems.

Feeding time rivaled the zoo, but now we have one feeding time for all dogs - no chance to be precious here! Then to cap it off, I walked them today. Ha ha ha. The good thing is that Lucy walks off the lead, but this means you have to be watching for the dog catcher. The other 3 were a joke, so it will be 2 dogs only tomorrow.

As for sewing - who has time after supervising this lot? Plus it's getting hot now, and all I feel like doing is lying down having dozy afternoon naps, which isn't good. The day's nearly over and I've hardly done a thing. Oh well, I suppose I should enjoy it while I can. Maybe I could do some sewing tonight. Maybe. If you have come this far, sorry about the lack of sewing content.
