Funny Martini story

Since we started watching Martini I've learned a few things about having a dog. One thing I learned was that kennels book up WAY early for the holidays. I was basically laughed at when I asked the Petsmart PetHotel if they had any room for Martini over Thanksgiving. Resorting to plan B I talked to one of my friends who has 3 dogs (and 3 cats) to see if they could watch Martini for a couple days. Since we weren't sure if Martini had been around big dogs before she wanted to get them together to make sure it would work before agreeing to watch her.
I brought Martini over to their house after work yesterday. Now, this is the trial run... if things don't go well I need to find another arrangement for Martini in the next couple days. No pressure... ;) So what does Martini do after being in their house for 5 minutes? She poops on their floor! AAARRRRGGGG. I get her outside in case she needs to do anything else. It can't get any worse right? Well.... they have a pool. I figure it's night, it's November, the dog isn't going to want to go swimming, so no problem. She's running around the backyard and I realize that she's headed right for the pool and isn't going to stop - SPLASH! And now we have one very freaked out, very wet dog. And I get soaked holding her. That water was COLD!
Luckily it went better after that. We got her dried off and introduced her to the other dogs, one at a time to make sure everyone was going to get along. She even got to meet one of the cats. So everything was ok in the end. :)
