Ben and I didn’t go to Oregon to see my family for Christmas because we didn’t have anybody to care for Brenda. Instead, we ended up dog-sitting Mika, our neighbor’s dog who is also one of Sadie’s best friends.
In order to fully appreciate the day, which both Ben and I agreed to not work on, we walked all four dogs and then gave Brenda four Benadryl so she’d pass out in her crate. That way we could let the other three dogs play peacefully (Brenda can’t be free around Mika) and we could drink cocktails and watch movies.
It was glorious. The dogs played tug with the boxes our presents were wrapped in and Brenda didn’t make a peep for hours.
