The "Cat Sitter"

Lindsay and I frequent our favourite restaurant "Max's" about once a week, and are always greeted with outstanding service, and delicious food. One of the highlights for Lindsay is saying hello to the "mascot" of the restaurant "Maxine" (a cat that hangs around the entrance each day). It was Lindsay who named the cat, and her love for the animal must have been noticed. A couple of days ago (fresh off Lindsay's desire for a cat) we entered the restaurant with the owner approaching us. He shook our hands, and we had our usual friendly greeting, but this time he had a question for us, and he seemed to be looking for a favour. "Is there any way that you would be able to babysit "Maxine" for a couple of weeks for me?" he asked us. Before I was able to say "No, I'm allergic", I turned to Lindsay to see her eyes booming, and her smile sparkling uncontrollably. Thank goodness we'll be back in Canada when he needed the sitter! There was no way I was going to be able to say no to his request!!!!!!
