The Dog Sitter

I once sat a pet for a good friend He said "come and take it easy" The Jacuzzi and food never ends Just until I get back from Belize I said " You got it, I'll do it" I had met Spot, he was cool But, within an hour I was bit Pulling him out of the pool I had just got him into the car I knew I needed some stitches The hospital wasn't that far He started barking in high pitches I decided to leave him there So I put him in the back He fought me like a bear He was on full attack Bleeding from both legs now I rushed back to the car I turned when I heard a "growl" There he was wanting to spar I jumped up on the hood He circled on around I climbed up to the roof To get to higher ground The neighbor had just pulled up I saw he was going to bite her She used her Mace on old Spot Yelling "are you the new sitter?"

Ha....!!! There might be more truth than fiction in this one!! Dogs sometimes don't take to their babysitters very well! Good luck!
