Our dear friends live right down the street from us. We convinced them to buy a house in the neighborhood the same time we were moving into our new house. It is nice to have them right there-but we honestly don’t see too much of them. Not as much as you would think. I wish we did. But we don’t.

They went out of town this last weekend. Just a little trip to visit his family in Reno. I took them to the airport on Thursday and they asked me to get their mail and check on their house and cat on Sunday. They would be returning on Monday morning.

We stopped on our way home from Church on Sunday. I ran in and saw a big pile of cat poop right there in front of the front door. I stepped over it. Got the cat some food, more water, stole their Sunday paper and left. All under 2 minutes.

That’s right. I didn’t clean up the cat poop.

Do you think they realized that I *saw* it and didn’t clean it? Or do you think they just thought it happened after I checked on the house?

Maybe they won’t ask me to house sit next time.
