Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived nearby? But it's not that I think that there are no other people who can take care of my animals like I do! I am sure there are lots and lots that would do a better job than me! But, usually, people who are willing and able to do this have their own animals to take care of and cannot come over and live in my house for an entire weekend. I do have this neighbor that I already talked to and agreed to do it (he is the guy that did the birdroom floor and wood boards as well as lots of other handyman chores around my house) but one of the dogs I found on the street bites and carries on like a maniac to the point that not even my husband can handle him. Gonzalo, the son that came last year in March, wanted to come back next month but we had to tell him no because I don't dare have a child in the house with this dog and without my supervision (the dog is a NUT! he is getting better but he is going to need a couple of years of very patient, very persistent and extremely consistent handling for him to start trusting everybody without me having to worry about his biting). My youngest daughter, Nya, is coming in July with her kids but a) it's the summer and I will be home all day long then and b) they are older (15 and 13) (all this had to be explained to him as if talking to a 10 year old - sheesh!)
