Adventures in Dogsitting

To those new to the flist - I work at a humane society. I'm a dog person. I'm allergic to cats. The last has no bearing on the following story but it's semi-interesting considering where I work.

For extra cash (and to be able to afford Prophecy next year), I dogsit. Every weekend in the month of January, I get a paid vacation away from my family. To start my month off right, I'm housesitting for the next few days for Trooper and Trixie. It's Day 1/Night 2...( and already I want to kill these dogs )
