House Guests

Hope this is on topic houseguest/housesitter.

I have anxiety over my houseguest staying at my home watching my girls for a few days this week and weekend. I will be gone on a trip. She will be managing 4 dogs , a racing pigeon and 6 contractors coming and going. I've known this girl for about 17 years , but she has never done anything like this for me ever. She has to manage medications for Addison and Avery, feed all them by the schedules. Make sure all the girls are secure for when she's not there and the contractors are.

My mother-in-law used to do all the girls/pigeon watching, but since Misty's passing, mother-in-law cannot step foot in my house any more.

I have the guest bedroom cleaned, dusted, all the linens are clean and fresh. I dont have any food in the frig. Just bottled water, and alcohol.

I'm leaving her a generous amount of money for anything she needs.

Dog collars , leashes, dog food, treats, dog toys, boneys,........everything is at the ready.

I dont think I can prepare anymore than I already have for my houseguest/housesitter.

I could care less if anything breaks or is damaged or wreaked in the house. I just want all humans safe, all the canines are safe and that one Columbidae is safe.

Any amenities I've forgotten and should include for my houseguest/housesitter please let me know.


Edit. Since I've posted this, I have less anxiety, I guess I just needed to write and read what's been put in place for my houseguest/housesitter. Now I'll just concentrate on having fun......

 

I have fun the first few days, then it wears on me a bit. But always when they leave, I feel a little empty.

 

There's an old saying that says house guests and fish all begin to stink after 3 days.

 

Yeah... That never happens.

 

Only houseguests we've had have been my mom and my sister. When my sister visits, that's cool. My mom? Eh. She makes me nuts when she's here, but the second she's gone, I'm sad and I miss her.

Guess that's just what moms do...

 

Why is that?

You're talking about children, rather than calling your female dogs "the girls", right?

 

Misty, my wife passed away with hospice care peacefully at home. Her mom was bedside. It's too hard for her mom to cope to come back to our home and visit or to dog watch.

I am calling my female dogs "the girls"

 

Speaking of House Guests: "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave"

 

This thread started 2013, what was YFM like 12 when she had to entertain drunken in-laws and clean up after them?

 

Burn!

 

What about the dogs going to her?

 

My mother-in-laws home is not equipped to handle 4 hairy n energetic golden retrievers.

She lives in a small home with no place for the girls to frolic. She has a very confined residence

 

I have no memory of starting this thread. But I do remember entertaining this person as they over-stayed their welcome by about a week and a half. I was afraid they were just gonna move in and my then-boyfriend refused to tell them that 2 weeks is too long to stay with someone without asking.

Also, who went and bumped all of my threads?

 

What a pussy.

 

You are not wrong.

 

pete bumped this thread...but he is off topic and out of line....his paranoia is about a house sitter....this is about house guests....which in my court is a different entity …...fucking mods get away with what ever they want

skip wouldn't let me be a mod....I wasnt moddy I was moody....

house guests......no one visits....but me?...I am a great house guest....I clean up after myself...the most important house guest rule

worst is being a house guest and their only bathroom is right beside the kitchen....I hate that situation
