We have left
our house sit on the Gold Coast. The owners have returned from Europe and will
be there for some months over the summer. It was nice to see them again, and hand over the house and land all ship shape and Bristol fashion. All being well, we will return for
next winter. In the meantime we have new pastures to visit.
Our first
stop has been only a few kms away. Our daughter and her family are having a few
days away, so we are at their house now looking after their two little dogs.
Their dogs
have been part of the family for some years now, Pippa having had several
litters of Hudsons babies. You would think that a dog with a name like Hudson
would be refined. Well he aint! He is a small dog, furry, black and white and
with a good nature. But he is a barker! If it moves he barks at it. When
someone walks past he lets the world know. When the rubbish truck comes, well
you have to shut him up, he gives the poor truck a rapturous welcome, and tries
to befriend the tyres as they amble down the road. When someone comes to the
door the whole world knows it. Now this is a good thing when you think of
security, but it can be a pain in the neck at times.
He has also
been a wanderer. Lils had to get him fixed because he would wander the
neighbourhood looking for love. If there was no love on offer, then lust would suffice,
and if neither was available, well the nearest leg would do.
Anyway, we
are here til tomorrow and then we are off to our eldest son for one night. Then
onto the next real house sit. I’ll keep you posted.
By the way,
I saw this flower vase at the Helensvale Mall. Inventive eh?
