Grand Dog Duty

Jess & Wills are celebrating their first anniversary in San Francisco, leaving the dogs at home. As a refresher, they adopted two dogs, Edie's two least favorite breeds.....pit bull (JoJo) and chihuahua (Pancho). But we're all getting along well and Edie is learning to love the dogs. So this evening we went to the their home to tend to the cute critters. We fed them as instructed, even administering the meds to JoJo. It all went so well. Then we took them out to do their business....this was not as effortless and quick as we were led to believe.

First off, we're not too sure how those harness collars work...Pancho could have been hindered a bit with the way we put this on. It worked, but it looked odd. Then out the door we all went. The dogs seemed to know what to do and where to go...we simply followed. The potty part went quickly, but the other just wasn't happening. And Pancho, the male, could possible be dehydrated from sprinkling EVERY item he came near.

We came up with a plan, it had been 30 minutes and it was dark and cold. So off we went down the street headed towards Main Street. They were happy walking, but not doing what we wanted them to do....their business. Then we figured that maybe they were a little hyped up because it was us and not Jess & Wills. So we headed back home so they might be a little more comfortable. When we got to the front of the complex, it was like magic. We should have brought flashlights because it was a little tough to actually see where we needed to clean up. But all worked out and then we tucked them back in to their home.

Dave gave them a bit of snack bone....I hope this doesn't make them go more....since the housesitter doesn't arrive for hours.
