@Cuttlefish I just sat a pair of big GSDs near Raleigh, NC. They were both delights to sit for - very calm and made no demands except Kaiser wanted belly rubs. Both had hip problems so had a ramp to get to the yard. They would both go down the ramp but came back up the 5 stairs.
Thanks! My hosts have been great, as has their sweetheart of a dog. Their house is comfortable, too.
This sit has been invaluable, because I’d wanted to see whether my husband and I might eventually retire in this community or one like it. I realized that while I love the community — friendly people, gorgeous landscaping, well-kept homes and loads of amenities — the humidity is a deal-breaker. Walking my lovely sit dog multiple times a day has made me very well aware of that. So when time comes to find a retirement community, I’ll look for one like this, except with weather I like better.
If I hadn’t sat here and instead had made a quick visit (or come during another season), I might have overlooked the weather. There’s so much I like here that I might’ve mistakenly talked myself into it.
These are low maintenance too, so gentle @toml - they’re like big soft bears. The HO says that Bella, the 45kg one thinks she’s a chihuahua 
They sleep on the bed normally but not with us!! 40 degrees & that size. Wasn’t a huge fan of GSDs but we are both smitten 
Great guard dogs ina remote village too.
Love the mug 
That’s great you were able to get a cat sit in Amsterdam @Therese 
Enjoy your time there.
This British gentleman is helping me water the plants!
Amsterdam with a cat - wow!
A few more from Morehead City, NC.
Jacko deciding whether he wants to join me.
The end of sunrise - I am not up early enough to catch the beginning.
The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum on Harkers Island. But the waterfowl are all hand carved decoys - thousands of them, useable size, giant (a few), and bathtub yellow ducky size. Also local history especially about the hurricanes that have hit.

What a gorgeous cat! Burmese?
@andrealovesanimals yes, two Burmese. My first time meeting that breed and it’s now my favourite.
@UKSITTER1
My favourite too. So beautiful, soft and full of love
