Kelly, can I borrow your instructions and just change the cat's name, your names and phone numbers?

When I take care of my neighbors two Golden's and her four outdoor cats she leaves me three typed pages with instructions. I never thought twice about it, but waded through who gets what and when - who gets fed inside and who out.......and on and on.

What is cute is that I mixed up the dogs and kept the wrong one in the kitchen. She just looked at me and wouldn't eat. I knew immediately that I had made a mistake, changed dogs, and everyone was happy.

Another neighbor just gave me a bag of food and a bowl and said, give him a cup a day - nothing else! This little guy, a cocker really missed his owners and he needed some TLC while they were away. When they came back - he "dismissed" me with a glance. Like - "thanks, we don't need you anymore."

You have to love all of these different personalities!
