adventures in pet sitting....

so rto's brother is feeding the animals while we're gone. either he's trying to mess it up so we'll never ask him again, or he's distracted by the fact that his wife could have a baby at any moment. last night he called us to get the alarm code, fortunately i was listening, because rto gave him the wrong number. tonight he called and said the alarm had gone off, but he'd managed to shut it off and answered the phone when the security company called, but he didn't know the password and he wasn't sure they believed him. well, we'd just got back to the hotel, so i suggested we call the security people just to be safe. they said the police had been called, but they would contact them and let them know everything was okay. (or else they didn't and they were thinking it was all some elaborate ruse.) hopefully matt won't be spending the night in jail.....or worse. i told rto that if nothing else there are pictures of him in the house in case anyone needs proof he's related. ;D
