Day 16: The "On-Call" Sitter

As I get older, it seems as though I tend to forget some pretty major, important things.  I'm beginning to understand how it was that mom and dad left us behind so often.  There's just so much to keep track of.

"I'm walked and had my medications, but I miss my daddies!
Hurry home safely! I love you!"

In this case, we were headed out of town for an overnight trip.  Nothing extensive, but we'd be gone from 8 a.m. Saturday to about 3 p.m. Sunday.  Despite all the details I paid attention to, I forgot one pretty major thing.

The dog needed to be walked, fed, and given her medication.  WTF?!?

Fortunately, my niece is the most wonderful "on-call" sitter in the world and was able to rearrange her schedule on a whim just so she could be available for her cousin. WHEW! She even sends us "Miss you" texts from our little girl.

So this long weekend, I am thankful for Steph who is willing to drop everything and help.  Love you!
