| ~Our cat CC~ |
It was lunchtime at my office today and I was anxiously waiting for a text from Lydia (new dog-walker) to find out how day two had gone for her at our house. If her schedule was the same as yesterday, I thought she would be at our house around 12:30 and I'd asked her to let me know how it went. But I didn't want Lydia to think that I didn't trust her or have confidence in her, so I didn't try to contact her. However, when I didn't hear from her by about 1:30, my imagination took over. I wondered, had Lydia come today? Had she accidentally left the gate open and the dogs all got out, and she was running around the county to round them all up? Had Todd or Sunny bitten her, and she didn't have use of her fingers to call or thumbs to text? Had Shadow seen the cat, attacked her, and Lydia couldn't call because she was putting CC back together again? Why hadn't she let me know how it had gone? I decided to do the only thing I could, I texted her. I got the below response....
Remember that Sunny growled at her yesterday. So, score one point for Lydia...
I received two more texts from Lydia telling me that things had gone much better today with Todd being on a leash and she'd gotten him back inside with no problem. Score another point for Lydia.
I just knew there was nothing to worry about.

ReplyDeleteGlad today went better.
BOL in a 10 minute time frame you mind went off the chain. Sounds like Lydia has it all under control.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
yay! day #2 is better!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when they first get to know each other and I can imagine with the number of animals you have, all with such different backgrounds and needs, it will take some time. You cracked me up about the loss of ability to use her fingers....made me laugh because it sounds a little {ok, a lot} like me. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for Lydia!!! And, I must say a "yay" for Sunny. It's not easy to trust new people. I think that Lydia is a winner!
ReplyDeleteWhew, that's good!

Woooo Hooo. Sounds like all is coming a long well. Very happy to hear this.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

So glad to hear things went better on day two. I totally understand all your thoughts because that is exactly how I would be.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Lydia is a winner and further its easy for a pup to have an "off" day, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteCheers and hugs,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
It sounds like things are working out, dogs and people wise.
ReplyDeleteYay, that is so wonderful Kim, glad Lydia is taking care of business. happy Sunny greeted her and Todd was a good boy. relax my friend, all is good, Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a good new dog walker for your lovely furry friends, Kim. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to say " Don't worry" but tomorrow maybe that will be lots easier. Lydia must have a magic touch, Sunny and Todd will know this, just a new face takes some getting used to. Cheers, Jean.
ReplyDeleteHehe, from a fellow worrier I can totally relate. Glad everything is going so well. No worries, and love, Carol (and Stella and Rory)
ReplyDeleteDefinite score for Lydia. As days go by things will get better and better. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteAna
I know things will improve as time goes on -- hopefully Lydia will stick around for the rewards. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat for the dogs and great for Lydia!!! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lydia, all is good on the home front.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news...all is well in the Kingdom today!
ReplyDeleteGreat news, sometimes it does not take long. Both Todd and Sheba are cute doggies.
ReplyDeleteWhat good news! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh Todd you little devil outwitting your dog walker and her having to put you on a leash to make sure you came back in.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
That would be a great job for me....dog walker!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to thank you for all the prayers for Tweedles-
ReplyDeleteWe will be back and take the time to spend sometime- when all is quiet and enjoy your bloggy.
We are glad the day was better for Todd and Lydia
xoxo
Yay! It especially touches my heart that Sunny is responding so well. It reinforces that you made the right decision to give Sunny a chance. Happy dance!!!
ReplyDeleteGus' Mom
Whew!
ReplyDeleteThe downside, or should that be upside, of instant communication.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the 'kids' are being good with the sitter! Thank goodness for cell phones to be able to check up on them.

You know Kim I make soup every week of the year... We love it and I never use a recipe either. It is what needs to go in the soup and then the other stuff comes from my dried beans and grain that is always in plenty here.
ReplyDeleteIn the cooler weather cornbread gos with it always. A great healthy meal!!
Our pets, are our life. Sharing is caring and so delighted everything has gone well.
ReplyDeleteGradual improvements are good. Hope it all works out soon. Sonny is a tough nut, like my Sydney.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are working well. Walks are great!
