I lie awake at night wondering if there really is a dog

The sousaphone traveling in the back of the van before Thursday's parade!

This was the plumbing van I thought was so funny the other day when I picked up the boys, I stopped my car while we were driving down the street to get the picture.

Dog sleep here.

This is the door, dog.

The arrow points to the door, the sign is glued to the wall beside the door, slightly above the dog's height.

Tonight we started dog sitting for the week ... we have had this doggie over before, she's very cute. Sort of piebald mini dachsund with freaky blue eyes. I have her strapped to my ankle. Well the end of her leash is around my ankle so if my kiddycat arrives unexpectedly in the living room, she won't actually get the cat.

Mr. C is also very cute, he made these little dog signs and glued them to the walls with white school glue. This one says "Dog eat here" I guess.

The dog is eating kibble.

I want to go to bed but I just know she'll sit there in the hallway whining across the top of the big painting I have propped up in the opening... because for some reason it didn't occur to me to borrow a baby gate.

It was a long day. I woke up way after they did... they drank those pouch drinks on the couch and spilled. And so I went on the cleaning up the house tirade... they did laundry and picked up candy wrappers (this mornings breakfast was yesterday evenings parade candy stash!?)

I finally felt satisfied that the house was better so we went to my friend's house & grilled and hung out with her neice & nephew. And collected this dog. I guess she forgot to ask me earlier. I could have moved my kiddy-cat to J's.

Ugh I guess I can throw her in with the boys.
