Joan is back home!
I am super, super, super happy today when I spied an unfamilar car drive up and drop off - who? Joan!!! It is the same type of car that took her away last Thursday morning when I was really sad because she had that zipper box with wheels. I tried to stay on her heels but she left.
However, she did plan a great time for me. The neighbor, Doris, let me out in the middle of the day for a break. Then, Martha came over and whisked me away to "Camp Bosco" in St. Louis Park. Martha and Miguel and Boli (the cat) and I enjoyed each other's company tremendously. Martha took me out for hours on the golf course and I got to run, run, run. Boli would chase me every once in a while but then immediately let me know he was done playing. (Passive aggressive, I think.) And Miguel, well he just loves to give me treats and feed me lots of food....I can always get more food out of him.
Then I returned to my house but Joan was not there. Then Roberta came over and stayed with me for a few days. She gave me a few sausages that were left over from something - another great sitter who loves to feed me. Maybe Joan should go away more often?!
Today Joan finally showed up and I couldn't help but jump up and give her face a couple licks. She told me stories of sandy beaches and warm weather - what is that? It is going to snow here again tonight! Then she brushed me a lot and washed my bed and now I'm still in heaven....

Bosco, this isn't really related to your post, but here's another fun thing Joan could get for you...

Dear Joan,
Re: seeking permission to reproduce parts of your blog
I am the editor of a new house sitting website called MindMyHouse.com. We provide a global online forum for house sitters and home owners to find each other for the free exchange of services (house and pet sitting) with goods (accommodation).
We’re aiming to provide our site users with the largest and most accessible collection of house sitting information on the web. To this end, I am seeking permission to reproduce the following parts of your blog:
1. Joan is back home!
Your article would be attractively designed and would sit alongside many other blog excerpts written by house sitters and home owners in the (still to be created) Resources section of our site.
As membership is currently free on our site, we’re not offering any form of payment for the rights to reproduce your article.
We’d be happy to include a link to your website from your article as well as publish any additional information you care to provide to properly credit your article. As you know, an inbound link to your site would be beneficial to your page ranking. (You are, however, welcome to link back to us if you like).
We’ll be launching a blogging facility at MindMyHouse in the near future to help house sitters on assignment while away the hours. ; j. Would you consider sharing your quirky view of life on assignment via our blogging facility sometime in the future?
