This N That
Right now I'm sitting for Sasha again. This will be my first time back with 10$ a night more. I'll be here till mid December so that last day with check in hand will be a good day! My new leash works very well for her too. I use her own lead because she likes something longer so she can roll around in the grass. We have no snow yet so that makes it easier to get out with her.
Tony had a repeat dog that we liked the first time, so we thought it would be easy for him. When we first had her, she was a new rescue and although it took her a day, she fit right in and did great. This time, I could tell that from the time they walked in the door, she was NOT happy to be there. She didn't like us, it was hard to get her outside, then back in. I was afraid she would jump the fence; she was that wary of us. If we were sitting, she would come to us for pets. As soon as we stood up, we were the enemy. It was mostly Tony she did not like and since Faith and I were gone, it was pretty hard for him. She had diarrhea in the house twice. Seems like all we've been doing in our spare time is shampooing our carpet. I just don't think we could take her again; that behavior was too wiggy for me. Her parents left a nice tip and I wanted Tony to take it but we decided to go out for dinner instead to treat ourselves for working hard over Thanksgiving.
Faith did her first away sitting job for the beloved Anna. I told her she can keep the tip and even paid her a little for covering for me. She loved it there as much as I do and did a great job.
A few weeks ago her and I went to the Dollar store and bought a bunch of necessities and snacks for the local women's shelter. I also cleared my closets of clothes that USED to fit, two bags full! Sad but true. A neighbor also donated two bags so we had quite a load to deliver. It felt great to do it and they were very appreciative. I hope it can continue to be a yearly tradition for us.
I bought a new computer for myself right before Thanksgiving. My old computer is 10 years old, almost to the day. It had screen issues and was just running slower and slower. It's been a great machine but it was time to move on. So far Windows 10 has been pretty easy to learn; I've dreaded it ever since it came out.
We got a new power/light pole on the corner of our street. They said a camera was added but didn't say what kind. I know it's not a red light camera, but maybe a speed type camera since we live in a school zone. I can't find any reference online to what kind it might be. But I do know it's huge! You can see the light part of it, which is so small in comparison to the contraption above it. It's also so much bigger around, they had to cut into our rock wall to make it fit.
That was our November, a busy month for all. December will busy too but at least I'll be home. I don't do sitting away over the holidays!
