It is being quite the annual occurrance that for one, two, three or four weeks of the summer, i find myself house sitting for people in church. Who knew looking after a house, two dogs, two cats and countless chickens would be so…interesting! So I’ve decided to share all the events and happenings of the next month with you all…just to keep you amused!
Lets go back to the start, just 2 days ago. I hardly got a wink of sleep on Thursday night, my first night in the house, because Crumble, the Labrador started barking and it feared me so much that I couldn’t fall asleep! I eventually did at some point in the night but I was woken up at 6am by more barking! I lay for a while, then gave up and got up to let the dogs out. I was then sitting minding my own business on the sofa when out of the corner of my eye chickens were just randomly dandering about the garden…and not in the hen house where they should be! If I’m honest though, I didn’t bolt up to chase them into their run/hutch thing, instead I just let them be and brought the dogs back in and went upstairs and got ready for work. When I came back downstairs I got some breakfast and let the dogs out one last time. By this stage stage the chickens has wandered by to their hutch area, although not quite inside it. I then went to get the dogs into their run to find that Daisy, the schnauzer had decided to run off! I went looking for her and found her down the lane. So I chased her back to the house and got them locked in. Finally on my way to work although I was a little late! As if my week hadn’t been hectic enough what with working 9-5 everyday and then having holiday bible club in church every night!!…
