Baby Sitting outside my species

Our next door neighbors got married last Saturday. At the reception they sat down across from us as we were eating and asked us to babysit two of their four dogs. We've done it before and really enjoy the two we get to have at our house. The couple (they'd never told us they'd been living in sin!) said that each had thought the other had already asked us.

Our dog is the negro one. (Saying it in Spanish changes the entire context...) The neighbors' dogs are Angel, the Lab, and Sheriff, the Bassett Hound. They get along just great with our dog despite the fact that our dog is negro. (They seem to know that they're all the same race; too bad many humans don't know that about their own multi-hued species.)

The doggie bed belonged to our dog, but we gave it to our neighbors as a wedding gift.
