I now intend to make use of my abundant spare time to comment on every one of Megatron's posts, until; A) I'm banned; B) She makes like Sully & has no comments; C) They let her go. Good thing I have plenty of time on my hands. g: Glad problem is at very least postponed. Enjoy your trip.

So both geriatric dogs will be staying at home while we're away, and the sitter is well-experienced at cleaning up incontinent dogs (has even shown me some better techniques). She used to care for sheep, who have even a worse problem with poop than fluffy dogs. So the malamute has a reprieve. I feel relieved. It all felt so much like my decision was being forced. Of course, Megan would say its his own fault for being old and sick. Dog update – the kennel turned us on to a great dog-sitter who is a vet assistant and a neighbor.
