Comment from Pam Lonsdale

Excellent

Blondie enjoys sailing? As in on a boat?

Wendy, this is so sad. Our animals are curious, and can get into things they shouldn't despite our attempts to keep them from dangerous things.

Sunny must miss Blondie; not knowing where she is, just that she's gone.

I'm glad you both had a chance to get to know her. You are better for having that time with her.

So, so very sorry to hear of an animal in distress.

Yes, Blondie enjoys going out on boats, small ones as well as yachts. She even sometimes wears a sailor outfit! Thanks so much for a lovely review, very understanding. So far she's still hanging on, but the supervisor told me today she's declining now. So very sad. She is my favourite after Sunny.

Comment from Wayne Fowler

Excellent

Yes, it's sad. My wife and I are pet/house sitters. We're traveled the nation caring for pets and homes. We do not charge, but use the opportunity to hike and sight-see fabulous country. We could not afford such trips if consigned to hotels and restaurants.
We have sat for 'food-focused' dogs as well as dogs that will stand obediently awaiting permission to eat. The difference is astounding. It's like some revert to wolves when food is present.
Sad for Blondie.
This is another well-written piece. I always look forward to an early morning read from Australia.

Thank you Wayne. A lovely review, and understanding too. Your pet and house sitting life does sound wonderful.
