Pet/House Sitting

So for the past 8 days Tyler and I stayed at my aunt and uncles house in South Jordan and watched their dog and my cousins dog, and some fish in their pond, while they were on vacation. Seems like a pretty easy job right...well it kinda was except for the fact that their dog, Jasmine, is getting really old to the point where every step she takes seems painful. So we had to have a lot of patience with her. And the other dog is a beautiful but high maintenance Great Dane named Diesel.

The reason I say high maintenance is because she has an eye condition right now and requires eyedrops every morning and night, she sleeps right next to the bed, and she's a pretty picky eater. But she is really such a lovable dog and is so much fun to play with, I can see why my cousin treats her like a child. The tough part about the whole thing was making it through the night without having to get up and let one of them outside to go to the bathroom. It made for one sleepless week. We had a good time with the animals, were able to catch up on a lot of movies, and successfully non of the animals died, but thats a whole other story! Ha!

Alli you are awesome. One thing I don't think I could do for someone is dog or cat sit especially under those conditions.
