    My daughter is living in the house of horrors. Earwigs, ants and a cockroach infestation. I told her to pack her shit up and come home. Go back twice a day to feed the dog. Something ain’t right. I reckon these people have fled. The nudity is over.

      You are a good mum. Recognising something’s not right and getting her out of the place.

        I was in Coles carpark ready to come. I told her I’d call her back once I got home and put my cold stuff away. Called her back and told her to get home now. Dump all open packets of food there. Load up the car. We’re going through one bag at a time.

      I wonder if they thought they’d get free cleaning as well as pet sitting. I wouldn’t put that past some people.

      The Young Seagoons used to house/pet sit.

      The owners should have left her a contact number in case of questions or emergency. She should call it.

      The scummy house is apparently not unusual.

        She has. And the agency.

          Has she checked for cameras? That’s what you are worried about, yes?

          I would worry too.

          in fact, now I’m wondering if anything happened like that to the young seagoons 😐

            The house is almost bare. There’s no where for a camera. Things aren’t adding up.

              That’s not normal.

              Maybe the owners aren’t on holiday at all. Jail perhaps? Done a runner?

                My gut feeling is a runner.

                  Have they paid her anything yet? It might be useful if YL keeps any record of such payment - such as bank account details etc. The cops could possibly use that to trace the house owners/renters. I’m glad the agency has been informed.

                    They have paid the agency upfront. YL gets paid once the job is done. She has recorded the entire house with her phone.

                  From rent or the cops?

                  That poor dog.
