Visitor Dog is Gone

Mother of the dog owner came by to pick her up at last (been waiting 6 months for this moment when I said the dog could stay for a week). I petted her goodbye and grabbed all her things. I even let her keep a squeaky bunny toy she liked that I gave my ferrets for Easter. Cats don't play with it. Sure it was nice to take her on walks and practice training her with treats, but also a headache taking her out to potty when roommate wasn't home. She kept escaping the yard via the holes in the fence and whenever I went out the front door cuase the outer door doesn't shut all the way. Last night she escaped out the front door when I took out garbage and she came back half hour scratching at the door. Cats were terrified of her. She was a friendly dog, but they reacted with hisses and growls which made her respond with barking. It was stressful keeping them apart and keeping the dog in the kennel all the time cause she kept pooping on the floor (even right after taking her outside). The last 2 walks around the local lake trail I went by myself to have some peace. I bring her and she wants everyone to pet her and sniff every dog so had to hold her back a lot. Plus the 2nd miles wore her out so had to rest after the 1st mile. Hopefully my cat Misty who has been living under the couch since the visitor dog's arrival will start pooping in the litterbox again instead of under the end table where the ferrets use to do their business on newspapers. Bit sad, bit relief.

In other news, roommate's buddy started his first day at the fast food place. He got his buddy a job there so doing less food delivery. Roommate got called in on his day off to work because two employees walked out so they both went to work at the same time. Hope the job works out for them.
