Dog sitting reflections

as we enter my 2nd or is it 3rd week as a dog sitter i have some thoughts on the process of getting to know the dogs i am looking after.

hehe

its been a good few weeks so far and have a while to go yet i am very tired though which is mainly due not getting into a routeen to begin with we are now in a bit of a routeen which is much better.

they are also starting to listen when i give them a row which means less stress which is good.

have let them both of the lead twice (near home and in broad daylight) the first time was fine with slight naughtyness when other dogs where brought into the equation but only slight which was sorted in minets. the second time was no problem at all though i would not let them off in the dark would scare me to much.

i think it must be much easer to look after them in a cupple though because without easy access to the garden they are quite wearing particualy since the weather is going for muddy at the moment so i am walking them rather than just letting them out in the garden.

but all in all its been nice looking after them so far they are demanding in a good way.

although i think my grils will be glad to get home since they are feeling the strain of being in the cage for a bit to long at a time.

work is good a bit behind because of the routeen thing but getting there.

Penrith in all its glory

so i am back in penrith and have been back for a week now yay.

I have had some fun and games at the start of the week but all sorted now.

Carl and Rachel are away in Patagonia so i am Dog sitting for them but when i reurned on monday the heating in the bridge and their flat was broke so i couldn't stay here and neither could the dogs. i left them in the kennels for an exstra day while it got fixed.

now we are all hunky dory and i am enjoying the central heating while i have it lol.

first week of work has been okay although been a bit strange with all the groups not startig back till next week. you would think i would get more done at these times but it never works like that does it lol.

saying that cafe was great loads of people came and we had the YOW serivce tonight which went really well and i feel i am starting to make some head way in getting to know the church young people.

it snowed 5icnches on wenesday and some of the lakes where so frozen some people went ice skating on them! although the police where not having that hehe. I love that i live in a place where it snows in the winter and you can build snow men its great.

Christmas and so forth

been home for the past two weeks which has been lovley. we have actualy had one of the most relaxed christmases and so nicest christmases i remeber!!

so came down for christophers birthday which was nice although we went to see the day the earth stood still and that was rubbish. then hung out at home putting decorations up and stuff and avoiding the sick people or at least the air around them untill christma came.

we went to the christingal at the mission which was lovley as usal it gets better every year and i don't care what anyone else thinks!!

have spent some time with Ant and his girlfriend Claire with Chris
with Jen and Dan and Aron

went down to see dad although he was stressed because of work I had a nice time and got loads of work done on my essay which was good i wish he would stop worring about weather i had a nice time though.

went to see a really good play that Diana was part of called Well go and see it its at the Appollo although was souly tempted to go next door to see bill baily i was good though.

go back up to Penrith Tomorrow and am really happy about that i am so looking forward to work you would not beleive i have missed it loads.
