For the first time I’ve been asked to babysit by one of my sons.  No, I don’t have an unknown grandchild.  I have a granddog!  Patrick and Veronica have headed off to Patrick’s office Halloween party and I am dogsitting their pitbull, Floyd.  He’s a great dog, loves coming over here and loves hanging out with Murphy.

I opened the sliding glass door and screen in the family room, and Floyd is totally amazed that he’s allowed to wander in and out at will.  For awhile he just hung out inside, but now that he’s realized the open door allows him to go out whenever he wants, he’s decided out is much better than in.  It also helps that it’s a really nice warm night.

I have to be careful not to let Floyd get too comfortable, though, or soon he’ll be here more than he’s at home!
