Everyone in the house
Is having a lazy day

The house sitter
At the end of three awful weeks
That had moments of good
Still not sure if they are done

The dog
Missing her pack
She knows the sitter well
And seeks her out for pets and takes naps nearby

The tortoiseshell cat
Alternately seeking out the sitter
Sitting by themselves in the house
And instigating the dog and the tuxedo cat

And the tuxedo cat
Preferring the outside
Follows the sun around the house
And takes solace in the quiet
