It's Spring Break for the public schools and my friend is going on vacation.
I'm watching the cats and guinea pig from Apr 20-Apr 30.
The reason I don't mind is because my friend is a wonderful friend, and they live very close and the travel back and forth is very convenient. So it's a matter of the logistics working out, plus I'm friends with the cats. They know me.
I go over there in the evening, feed the cats, check on the guinea pig, sleep, then wake up early to make a guinea pig salad, feed the cats, then commute home to go to work!
Yes I know it's a really valuable thing that I will watch the cats and make sure everything is ok, and they can go away and not worry. But I also think this is what society should be- friends being there for each other. Just like babysitting, pet-sitting has turned into a freakishly expensive thing.
I am old enough to remember when society just wasn't like that.
The cats are pretty fantastic.
They are absolutely bonkers, but they are fantastic.
