First day back at “school” (online) and we wake up to a stray cat that came into our house last night and has taken up residence under the couch. At least it explains why the dogs were both barking and pacing in our bedrooms at 5am.
She’s a cute and quiet thing, but I’ve spent all morning managing riled up dogs who keep sniffing, whining, barking, and pacing. Just what Josh needed for his first day back at work and the kids’ first day back at school. At least I’m working from home today and can take on the job of animal wrangler. Currently I have each dog locked in a bedroom with a kid so things stay quiet in Josh’s “office” (corner of the living room).
The plan for later today is to lock both dogs in the bedroom, open the back door and gently encourage her to leave with a broom. Then we’ll be down to only 1 cat that the dogs try to antagonize. If only I could get them all to chill together . . .
