Honestly, I am enjoying it.
The sea of cardboard has begun to recede, and we are actually getting things under control as far as setting up house keeping. The babies are still adjusting, which I expect will take about a month. They have never known any other home than the old Dogwood, and they still have to get used to the change in rooms and paths and where the kennels and the water dishes are. But we haven't had any further escape attempts--mainly because I have took NO chances whatsoever with the lock being off the gate or anyone other than myself going in or out of it when the kids are outside or anywhere near the back door.
We met our new pet sitter yesterday, and she really impressed me with her knowledge and handling of the kids. Hines barked like a banshee, Charlie had a panic attack, Daisy jumped like jelly bean, and Lucy didn't care as long as a treat was administered in the end. Carol just stood quietly and let them have their hissy fits, and when they saw she wasn't going to react, they all fell into line.
Ok--it was a short line--they had several rows of hissy fits in the forty five minutes Carol worked with them.
But at least I know they will be safe, and well watched while I am at work.
Still I would appreciate your prayers that God will keep angels on hand for both my kids and Carol as they learn each others ups and downs.
As a matter of fact--keep us all in your prayers--as we are all adjusting, and will need a little extra care from the Lord in or new home.
