Townsville - Dog Sitting

Most house sits involve pet sitting – and it is usually dogs. This one in Townsville was unusual in that the homeowners didn’t own any pets. We have plenty of other responsibilities like watering, mowing, yard care and pool maintenance, but no animals apart from the chickens, who do not need to be walked and whose poop can be left where it falls since it is actually good for the garden. But we ended up dog sitting after all when Erin, the homeowners’ daughter asked us to look after Lilly her border collie while she and her family were off at a family wedding in another part of Australia for ten days. We can always use a bit of doggie love so we were happy to oblige, especially since Erin was kind enough to lend us her car to use until it sold a couple of weeks ago.  Lilly was well behaved and got lots of walks around town, a new toy, and spoiled rotten by Deborah.

All the following photos and video are by Deborah, except of course those in which she appears:
