My kids are leaving this weekend, which means Redface Magee will be staying overnight. Yay.
Last night I was in prepping mode. I have a list of hotels that should have room on the weekends for walk ins and who also accept pets. In the chance of me leaving I lock up the cat in BS14's room(it's his cat so all her things are in there) making sure she has enough food and multiple bowls of water.
My dogs already keep away from him as much as possible but if I call they come right away and sit next to me. I have even been working with them on a one word command. If I should say this work, not a typical word any of us would use normally they are to run behind me and not move. I also have many things hidden all over the house in every room that can be used in self defense.
It does get exhausting prepping for his visits, but on any good prepper show you learn that in the end of days(skid weekend) one must be prepared for what ever is out to attack. Be that zomies, merauders, or psychotic children. Although I will admit it was difficult comeing up with a believable excuse for why the little hammer was in the toilet tank in the kids bathrooms.
I should really get special ops training for these weekends.
