Pets

Nine pets in our home.  I was asked the other day what pets we had.  3 cats, 1 dog and 5 fish.  Sabrina, Jersey, Tux, Duncan, Sam, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  It did make planning care while we are gone a little more tricky.  I will need someone daily going to the house.  Duncan, our dog, will be at a kennel so he can have lots of run time and fun.  The cats would have been good someone coming every couple days to feed them and play abit - that is if they will come out because they won't be impressed we are gone.  The fish though need to be fed daily.  Easiest pet to take care of and great entertainment for the rest but want food every day.  Not much to do to get the pets ready for our departure, except for Duncan.  He has a visit to the vet on Friday.  Needle time for him.  He is getting an extra one because of being kenneled.  I know they will be safe while we are gone and any intruder in the house will be eaten by the cats - because my cats are badass.  In our news though there has been a virus that affects dogs going around, and that worries me some.  It worries me to leave him with other dogs, I don't know what they have.  I only know that all dogs in the kennel will have their vaccinations up to date.  That makes me happy.

Not only is the night before we go going to be a long one, but we won't have Duncan here to keep us company.  He is going on his trip a day early thanks to 5am (maybe earlier) airport drop off times.  Sad thing  is we can't pick him up until the day after we get home, again thanks to airport times but this time it's midnight.  He has a new little buddy who plays with him multiple times a week.  They will both miss that.   I'm so glad dogs adjust well.  

So the cats will have rule of the house without the worry of a dog.  Not like the dog bothers him, Duncan knows who's boss.  The fish will just swim in circles as they tend to do.  The tank has a full lid and they will be secure.  Mind you the cats have alot of planning time.
