I'm going out of down for an extended long weekend in two weeks and I could not find anyone to kittysit Max. Two different people I had asked fell through. The first because of some emergency surgery (I can understand that) and the other because she is just too busy (sigh). I called my friend Robyn (Robyn has a husband, three dogs and four boys so you can see why I did not want to ask her) and she said she would look forward to the quiet of my house and was happy to kittysit Max. I told her I insisted on paying her and she agreed. She is going to Mexico in February and she said she would put the money in her Mexico fund. I'm so relieved. I just don't feel comfortable leaving Max without someone checking on him every day. Some of my friends think I'm nuts, but they don't understand that Max is like my child. Just had to share my relief!
