House sitting Ocean Shores

Via friends of ours who house-sit on a regular basis, we were contacted by a couple, Russell and Brenda, who needed their house and 2 dogs, Harry and Penny, cared for. We spent most of an afternoon with Russell and Brenda, mainly getting to know Harry and Penny. Harry is a mixture of Corgi and 4 or 5 other breeds; Penny seems to have some Labrador, bit of Alsatian and maybe even a touch of Dingo.
They both are real characters and tend to get a bit worried if they are not quite sure where you are. They sleep outside the bedroom and are just so excited to see you in the morning. When we returned after being shopping for a short while they nearly knocked us over when we opened the door.

We are going to miss them when our 6 week stint is over - but not enough to be tied down by a pet!

There was a storm brewing and Penny gets a bit nervous....a cuddle for her helps though.
