Summer so far has been SO different than what I expected. I think I assumed I would have more time than I could fill and would be bored. That has not been true at all! My days are full of friends, church, work, babysitting, housesitting, learning. I really like it!

I finish housesitting today and will be heading back to my apartment. I think it will be good to be home after a week away. The dog that I have been watching this week is certainly something else. Brittany’s a Yorkshire terrier and probably the smallest dog I’ve ever been around. She’s 14 years old, so she is set in her ways. Most of the time she lays around the house, changing locations about every hour. She wants to be taken out on her own schedule, which required me to carry her outside more than once (she weighs maybe 7 pounds, so no big deal). When Jen came over last night she about flipped out. It was the most energetic I’ve seen here. She was probably really excited to see someone else besides me…who can blame her? She’s been a fun dog to take care of, but really doesn’t convince me that I ever want to have a dog.
