You guys. It's surprisingly stressful. Most dogs aren't trained at all plus sometimes our own dogs are stressed or jealous plus sometimes the dogs don't leave our cats alone so we have to keep everyone separated and keep an eye on everyone and feeding and walks and monitoring all the various needs of the myriad animals is just... not the most relaxing thing I could be doing with my limited free time. (My wife works from home so it's a little easier for her.)

It doesn't help that I'm usually the first one awake so I get to deal with the feeding shenanigans first thing when I'd rather be drinking my coffee.

Also doesn't help that I've been up since about 2 because one of the boarders was crying so I came downstairs to sleep on the couch to comfort her and never really got much more sleep.

It's 7 am so whenever Mrs. Ksryder decides to drag her ass out of bed in probably 3 hours we're going to have a talk.
