Pet Sitting

Pet Sitting

Before we got Boomer I booked ticked to see a couple of comedy shows (Jeff Green & Bill Bailey for those who want to know) at the Edinburgh Fringe. My friend R had already agreed to dog sit for us. I assumed that she would be ok to look after Boomer at the same time but unfortunately for us I didn’t realise exactly how much she hated cats!

She had in the past said that she thought “Cats are evil” but I wasn’t ready for her backing away from a tiny kitten when she visited prior to the date! It transpired that she couldn’t physically stand to be in the same room as a cat for any length of time and had thought it would perhaps be ok to put Boomer in a different room and then at almost the last minute requested to take Yu You to her flat rather than be in the house with Boomer. Not ok. (o_o) **

After some panic I decided to ask my next door neighbours if they might mind Boomer for the night as their daughters had previously visited and seemed to enjoy playing with her. Thankfully they said yes! b(~_^)b

The following morning we went to collect Boomer hoping it all went well to find Boomer quite happy with the adoring attention of this family! They had completely fallen for her charms and actually took photos of her during the night they thought she was so cute! I believe they may be considering one for themselves now. m <(~_~)> m

Finally we managed to drag Boomer away from them and re-united the terrible twosome. But for some reason Boomer didn’t want to play with Yu You! fO_o and although she was getting lots of attention from Daniel and myself Yu You sat on my lap and whined sadly until we persuaded Boomer to give her a few licks on the face. So odd!!

Anyway the two (“\(.:…:.)/”) ‘s are back in form and chasing each other around again. Chewing my slippers and cardigans.
