history: I've been pet sitting for my mom for a couple weeks. It is hard not to have my wife with me. I've been pet sitting for my mom while she's on vacation_comma_ and I've been alone in her house for a couple weeks now. It's tough being her by myself. Aw_comma_ you must be lonely. At least you have her pet with you_comma_ right? What pet does she have?
current: She has two cats, but they're both pretty shy. They've warmed up to me a bit, so that part is nice.
next: Yeah, cats are a little tricky. I think dogs are much more friendly, but that's just me!
