This show is always on the road

Over the next five weeks I will be housesitting and pet-watching (if there is such a term). Above are Ozzy and Bogart, two beagles that I'll be feeding, giving water to and taking outside when necessary. We're getting along great. So far they've managed to get generous portions of the pepperoni off my pizza last night, a good part of the omelette du fromage I had for breakfast this morning and most of the good bed space where I slept last night. Dogs 3, Mike 0. By tomorrow I'm sure they'll want the first cup of coffee out of the French press.

There's also Molly the cat (not pictured) who basically does her own thing. As long as I leave certain doors open she's fine. What a world.
