My SILs parents are going on their 50th year honeymoon trip to Hilton Head South Carolina. They are leaving this evening so SIL has gone to get Fritzy. He is one of the schnauzer dogs. He's gray and so cute. He can stay in the house because he has manners, but our own dogs are not allowed in the house ever. Our one dog is a Bernese Mountain Dog. He doesn't like inside. I'm excited that Fritzy will be having a long sleepover. He has such good behaviors. My SIL and his sister paid for their trip and even loaded a Visa card for them to use so their trip won't cost them anything. They don't even have to board Fritzy at the Vet. We are watching him for free. Has anyone ever done something like that for you do you could get away to a nice place and have all expenses paid? Please share.

I think most probably dogs are men's best friend and do love humans very much.

Thats neat. We never ever went on vacations because I never had anyone to watch my little tootsie.

Sounds like Fritzy is going on holiday too! I remember some time ago a wonderful friend of mine knew that I wasn't earning much, not having a job, so they paid for me to have a weekend away with them in a rather nice hotel, with a double bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, the bathroom was just amazing, plus he paid for everything, wouldn't let me pay a single penny. I insisted on paying for the train fare. We had a great weekend away, it just went so damn quickly. Hope you and Fritzy have a wonderful stay together!

that is just so romantic. I love when couples stay together that long. It doesn't happen much anymore.

I forgot to say B is one day older than J. J always teases her and says he loves being married to an older woman! They are so cute together. They were high school sweethearts.

My mom paid for me to go to Florida to attend my best friend's graduation after she earned her Masters. We had a wonderful trip. 50 years of marriage is a blessing. I hope your SIL's parents have a marvelous time on their trip.

Well, not exactly. My wife used to be the dog sitter for a friend of her. When her friend had to go to some music contests, her dog had to remain at home. My wife was the one to dog sit the poor creature. But her friend didn't want to move her dog so my wife had to go three times a day for an hour or two to walk the dog, feed the dog and spend some time with it. I think it's a good thing to have friends or family members that would dog sit for you.

Yes many time, we call it harvest time of what you have invested through sharing in the past. Sometimes we called good opportunity and sharing afforded by your love ones who was now on good financial standing

I have not done dog sitting. I think it is always good to some good job to earn extra income. I think animals and pets are very cute and it is good to spend time with them. I think most probably you will enjoy your job.

I thought you had a beagle or something similar. I remember (vaguely) watching something on youtube.

Fritzy is taking a nap - This is Fritzy.
He's sleeping in his crate right now. He puts himself to bed when he's tired. He's been playing with his babies.

Is this the same lady who owns the house, let me get this straight you dogs can't be inside but hers can. I wouldn't be ok with that, I would be ripping some heads off. But then again I wouldn't live anywhere that wouldn't let them in the house.
