House Sitter From Hell
Coco was not amused when I informed her she would be spending the next couple of weeks in the dog kennels.
I don't like to leave her at the kennels but, I felt it was in her best interest after the house sitter debacle.
A friend of ours offered to stay at our house and look after the place while we were away. Hubby and I cleaned the house from top to bottom, filled the pantry and left a bottle of vodka - as a thank you.
I left for my holiday feeling confident my home and my babies were in good hands. I couldn't have been more wrong!!!!
I came home to :
- a house smelling of cigarettes (hubby is a smoker but, our friend knows smoking is not allowed in the house)
- a blocked shower
- a broken tap
- a broken fridge shelf
- rusty frying pans (from being put in the dishwasher)
- broken toilet
- a dirty house (how one man can create so much filth in ten days is beyond me)
- broken biocycle system ( waste treatment system)
- pre-programmed TV shows - cancelled
The worst by far, was the state of Coco. She has an enclosed area, which has a dog kennel and space to do her business. We put her in there for small periods of time when we aren't able to take her out with us. My poor, baby dog had obviously been locked in there the whole time we had been away. The area where she can relieve herself was so full of waste, she had started to use the deck area instead.
The first thing I did when I arrived home was wash her - she smelled like shit. I was disgusted, in fact, I still am!!!!!!!
Some friend he turned out to be. LAZY BASTARD!!!!!!
Love KB

Hello Krazy!..Did you or your husband address these issues with said 'LAZY BASTARD' upon your arrival home and after realizing the condition of poor Coco?
ReplyDeleteYou would not have been able to restrain my hostile verbal attack on such a specimen! If I failed to make known my my grave disappointment in person, be sure he would be getting a visit from Mr. Postman..
I tell you, you just never know who your true friends are these days!
Uhm, by the way, did you cross him off your Christmas list..?

So I assume you won't be needing my services again!
ReplyDeletePoor Coco. A messy house is bad enough but there is no excuse for treating her like that.
ReplyDeleteMay I sugest that Coco has special training in how to bite appropriate butts
