So we were just poking along here when we got a call from Number One Son in California. They are moving to Arkansas to be in a more conservative area. Their house in California sold on the first day and then the realtor in Arkansas screwed something up and they can't close when they thought they would close. So they are homeless. They have two cars and are driving both of them to Arkansas; the guy and the dog in one, the woman and the cat in the other. Could they come stay with us for a couple days until the Arkansas problem was fixed? Sure.
Well, it turns out that his wife's sister (whom we had never met) is moving with them to Arkansas so now we have three guests. And their dog, a huge bulldog, and their cat, and the sister's cat. Hmmm. So now we are five with four animals. To make it even more special, the dogs don't get along very well! Oh well. We are working on it all. We have a sleeper sofa in my office that is set up for the sister and she gets to keep the cats in there with her. Lucky gal, huh. The son & daughter-in-law have the spare bedroom with their dog. Did I forget to mention that the bulldog doesn't like cats? To make things even better, our son is still trying to work from 'home' so he is set up at the dining room table with two computers and a phone/headset all day. It is entirely weird but we are all trying to make it work.
There is hope that the Arkansas paperwork will get done by Friday so they may leave by Wednesday but there seem to be more hangups than anything so we might get to keep them until Friday! OMG! Having two dogs that don't get along and simply cannot be left alone is the big problem. Oh well, I'm not going to complain about life in the slow lane ever again!
Thanks for stopping by and keep washing those hands!
