    I'm so excited!

    No, I'm not getting a new dog..but my best friend's grandfather unfourtunately passed away this afternoon and she has no one to take care of her two dogs, Buddy and Rex. She is my next door neighbor and we do basically everything together. I always sleep over her house, go places with her, etc. So anyway she asked me to take on the job of taking care of her dogs for a week to 10 days. I know these dogs extremely well, I love them like my own. They "welcomed" me to their pack a very long time ago. I've also posted about them before and my friend has an account on here. Her username is "kittyKathleen" I think. So anyway, I'm so happy! It's like I have a dog again. =D She's grateful but I'm the one who should be grateful, it's about time I have a dog back into my life.

    My mom and my sister are helping me out. We just got back from the house. We are planning on taking them to our house to play in the yard and maybe in the pool and just to play. I can't wait! If you guys want I'll post pics.

    Pointless thread, but I'm so excited about taking care of a dog again!

    (Oh yeah, and Rex is the one that ran away a few months back.)

    I am excited for you too Alyssa. I'm not sure I have seen you post them before. What breeds are they? and yes you should post pictures. Have fun taking care of them. I would be excited too!

    Thank you Krista and Terry!

    Rex is a lab/golden retriever/shephard mix of some sort, I'm convinced he's more retriever as he has longer hair, and buddy is a shi-tzu. They are both so loving and happy! I hope their doing okay right now, I don't want them to be lonely. My mom was SO close to taking them to our house she felt so bad! This is a sign she misses having a dog.

    I have so old pictures of them..heres a few-

    this is buddy-



    this is rex and buddy out in the snow awhile ago-

    OMG! Buddy in that snow picture looks like a little stuffie for Rex. LOL
    And of course we want to see pictures. Hello, this is PT!!

    I'm sorry about your friends loss. And I'm glad you get to have some dog interaction for a while.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Aw, that is definitely exciting! I pet-sat for one of my coworkers dogs awhile ago, and it was definitely fun having a dog around the house again. Buddy and Rex are too cute! Have a good time watching them.

    Aw, what fun. I think it is going to be good for everybody. Good for the doggies to have someone like you to play with them and look after them, and good for you to have a dog to care for again. I love the snow picture, they are both adorable.
