OK, critter report as of nine o’clock...though I don’t expect you’ll get to read it until you get back!
I went over and hung out from about six-thirty until now. Barkley and Cisco played and played - hopefully Barkley didn’t pull any muscles. ;-) They did do a bit of a number on the lawn, as usual.... They also spent a long time running around and around the tree by the drive. No attempts by the moron to take further dips in the fish pond - the chair seems to have done the trick. ;-)
I let the kittens out for a short while when all the dogs were out, but I was kind of worried that Barkley would discover the food containers if I didn’t supervise somewhat, so they weren’t out all that long - fifteen minutes, maybe. Right before I left, I opened a new can of food, and they all chowed down and were starting to settle in for a nap as I was going out the door.
Nobody was all that happy when we went (except Gidget, who was pretty much indifferent...and ready to take her chair back, thank you very much), and Barkley did a bit of moaning and complaining as I was going down the drive. Hopefully he settles in before too long. He was fine when I got there after having been alone a few hours, and everyone got to go out for another potty break before I left, so I expect they’ll be OK. I did take the empty cat food can away with me, as I figured even out of reach, it’d be a temptation. Probably overcautious...oh well.
Thanks for sitting with them... We appreciate it! All was well when we got home. :~)
