Hilarious (sort of) Misunderstanding

Sitter Questions, Advice & Chat

My 80 yo husband and I are doing 10 sits ,one after the other for most of it, as we escape the Arizona heat this summer and visit Colorado and Iowa, to see my daughter’s new baby. Today I got a message that our 5-day sit in Iowa (hard to find sits there BTW!) was suddenly canceled. Then I saw a sweet inbox note to my husband that she was very sorry to hear about me and had really appreciated my energy yada yada - it sounded like she thought I was either very ill or dead!

It turned out that she misread my profile, in which I mentioned that my husband’s PREVIOUS wife (now deceased) had raised English Bulldogs and that Dave helped raise and show the dogs. She got back to me with an apology and reconfirmed the dates!

So now I am trying to figure out how to edit that portion of my profile and believe me, it is not easy to do so! But really nice to know that I have resurrected from the dead! Happy travels to you all!

So funny! Just don’t mention the ex wife as it may complicate things.
Just mention Dave’s experience.

I enjoyed reading your husband is 80 and healthy going from sit to sit. I am in my 70’s and nice to read you mention in the profile he is 80 and no prejudice by hosts and still get sits.
Good luck with his ankle surgery. A year is a long recovery time.

Just found your profile. You don’t mention his specific age nor should you. He doesn’t look his age at all. Both of you look delightful. It does read like he lost his wife and traveling alone. and written in third person. I would just say, before we were married my husband raised huskies. ( can’t remember exact breed)

“Ask yourself how old would you be, if you didn’t know the day you were born”, lyrics from the song Don’t Let the Old Man In by Toby Keith. I first became aware of the song in the Clint Eastwood film The Mule.
