House Sitting

Taking care of Pets and Houses - between projects

While we organise the build on our land we are house sitting in the area. We are starting to be in demand, but there is a down-side.

I am an animal lover - mostly I like animals more than I like humans, they listen better, they don't judge and they provide unconditional love. So I quickly adore each pet we take care of.

I also thought I was more of a dog-person than a cat-person, but little Bonnie (with a thick coat) thought otherwise.

At first she was shy, it took her a while to trust us.

However, soon, she had me wrapped around her paws.
Picture
She'd often ask me for something, and I'd follow her, thinking she wanted to go outside, but she'd reach the soft hallway carpet and flop down - it was time for tummy tickles!
Picture
Not only did she endear herself to me entirely, we could also enjoy these blissful sunrises - so far we are unpaid house-sitters and I get so much pleasure from different animals.... wonder what/how many we'll end up with when we move into our house, once it's built!

​Next installment on our new infrastructure on our land - are we serial shed dismantlers... and what's that? A ship's container?

Don't forget to check out my other blog - I'm doing an experiment to combat my migraines. Take a look here.

I'm so with you there, Jackie. And what a cuties that kitty is. It must be hard to leave them when you say goodbye to a house-sit!
