Anyone near Chicago want to dog sit?

[AdoreMyDogs]

Hello my fellow pet talkers http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif My work is sending me to Chicago area again and I decided to make a vacation out of it. I will be traveling with my mother and I don't have anyone good to watch Graham on the weekend we will be in Chicago. I decided to drive there since it's only about 4 hours away. I would love to take Graham with me and my mom would "hang out" with him at the hotel on Thursday and Friday while I am working, but on Saturday and Sunday I want to spend all day in Chicago and would have nowhere to leave Graham. Would anyone from the Chicago general area be interested in dog sitting Graham over night on Saturday June 2nd, and I would be picking him up on Sunday June 3rd in the early evening? I would be delighted if one of you pet talkers would watch him over night on Sat. and part of Sun. so I could vacation and not have to worry about him. I can't leave him at a kennel because he does not go to the bathroom and he gets sick from holding it in too long. And I have a friend who is watching Cassie but she has an intact male dog that is in LOVE with Graham and he continuously humps poor Graham and Graham gets so annoyed. I can't leave him with that horn-ball dog!

If anyone in the area would like to think about it, I will tell you that he's extremely well behaved, quiet, gentle and he will be an extremely lovely house guest http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif I will pay you whatever you would like and you would get a chance to meet me and one of my two beautiful dogs http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

If anyone would like to do it let me know, email me and I'll give you more details.

Thanks!

Shoot! Is Texas close enough to Chicago??? I'm sooo jealous of whoever gets to watch Graham http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif I hope you find a good person to watch him. I would do it in a heartbeat.

Rachel and Leslie....
I am so envious! You will get to meet each other! Not many of us can say we have done that! But hopefully, Helen and I are going to remedy that this summer when we take a trip northwards to meet some of our friends!
Lots of pictures, Rachel!

Oh how wonderful http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif I am going to email Rachel back now! I am so excited when I read my email this morning http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Thanks Rachel! Graham will be thankful too, he gets to vacation with my mom and I AND also with Rachel, her hubby, Tucker, and Hannah http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

Hurray!!!

Yay Rachel! That's wonderful. I'm glad Graham has such a good babysitter. You have to take pics of Hannah bossing him around http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Rachel to the rescue! And three cheers for hubby for being so agreeable! We can hardly wait for the stories and pictures. Aly...love your comment about Hannah! That poor little sweetie has won all of our hearts with her "ways." http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

I was going to try and talk my parents into it when I read your message, Adore, but it seems like Rachel's already taken the job. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif We want to see lots of pictures of Hannah, Tucker, and Graham together!!!

Good thing I got up early this morning or Rottie might have edged me out. I think Hannah and Tucker and Graham will all get along fine. I know just how it will go. Tucker and Hannah will both act quite rude at first. Some barking and grumbling, but when they realize it isn't theirs to decide (mom yells at them a bit), they will settle down. And pictures....you all better be prepared...you know how I am about taking pictures.

Hey, I'm here, too!!! We would have loved to meet you. I would have been willing to babysit, too but we would have had to check Shiloh out first, though, she loves all humans but not all dogs! Oh, how lucky for you guys to meet!!
