Weekend Recap: GUEST POST

Rudy stayed with Rob this weekend while we were out of town. #guysweekend #bestfriends #dogvacation 

I asked if he wouldn't mind sharing how it went for the blog. Here's what Rob had to say, unedited and illustrated with pictures mostly from the internet. Rob also said he's happy to do it again, so that's a great sign. 

"I dog sat for Rudy over the weekend while the owners were out of town. He stayed with me in my apartment complex and was very well behaved the entire time! 

At first he was a little shy and uncertain of his new surroundings, but after about 5-10 minutes he opened up.

He is house trained so there were no "accidents" during his stay, and would wait by the door when he needed to go out. During the day we relaxed on my couch while watching football, and he sat on my lap for most of that time. 

I went out with some friends in the evening and left him alone for about 4 hours. As I left, he did bark when I shut the door behind me (which worried me since technically I wasn't supposed to have dogs here), but the barking ceased after about 5 minutes. Returning later that night I found him just waking up from his dog bed, so I imagine that after he realized I was gone, he stopped barking and took a nap while no one was around. 

Note: this is actually Rudy

That night Rudy slept on the bed next to me, and slept with no interruptions! 

The next day I brought him to a friends house (whom he had never met before) and he warmed up to his "strangers" right away. He even sat on everyone's lap at least once throughout the visit. Afterwards, I had to drive him back home, a car ride which he seemed to enjoy very much.

I had a great time with Rudy and would strongly recommend his calm personality to someone who does not want an overly excitable animal."

Rudy and Rob, real life. BFFs.

Thanks to Rob for hanging out with Rudy and for this very professionally-written, yelp-worthy review.
