My sister’s family is on a trip to Phoenix for my niece’s soccer game. Instead of sending her two dogs to doggie daycare, I’m spending the night at her house with the dogs. Actually, my mom is here too and she’s doing all the work feeding the dogs. I just have to pet them.
The photo is the older of the two dogs. She was getting a ride in my car. They’ve since picked up another dog so there are two of them. They’re pretty well behaved so it’s not too much work taking care of them. My dad will come tomorrow to walk them in case they don’t poop in the back yard.
A lot of people suggested that I get a dog post-surgery. One, it will make me walk more since I have to walk the dog, and two, it’s companionship. I didn’t feel ready to raise a dog so I never looked into it. I just drive 5 minutes to my sister’s house to play with their dogs.

There’s a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives marathon on the Food Network. Most of the restaurant he visits look great but none of it can be considered healthy. I think I’ll just have to watch the shows and enjoy with my eyes instead of actually trying out the food. We don’t have cable TV at our house so I get to watch a lot more TV shows at my sister’s house.
