Housesitting

Chris and I agreed to house sit for a co-worker of mine over the weekend. They have two dogs, a cat and a gold fish. They were leaving Saturday afternoon so we didn't have to make a grant entrance until that evening. Once I got done (ditched out, really) with my Sustainability Conference we stopped at Papa Murphy's and got a mega meat delight to take with us up the hill. Oh, we also stopped at Long's and tried one of the Red Box movie rental kiosks (got Iron Man).

The house we were staying at is on Valley View, down at the end (past Valley Ridge) with all the rich houses. It's a three story house (you enter on the 2nd story, all the bedrooms are on the 3rd, and a entertainment room and guest bed/bath are downstairs). Since the house is so big there are intercoms throughout the house that we of course had to play with.

All the animals we were babysitting were old and therefore mainly just lay around and sleep. My kind of pet! The black one on the left is Max and the white and gray one on the right is Scully.

From the back of their house you have a awesome view of the canyon between Chico and Paradise. It rained last night so first thing this morning you could see the layer of fog sitting over Chico. Last night (before the rain) you could see Chico all light up.

We're home for the afternoon, but I'm heading back up the hill right after dinner and staying the night there again. I just have to check in on them tomorrow during my lunch hour and then part of the family will be back.

It wouldn't be so bad if my co-worker drank coffee and therefore had more than tea at her house. Arg!
