thor's first time at a sitter

Thor is only 7 months and already too big for my condo. Anyway, I had to go to Japan for work for 10 days in March, so I had to find someone to take care of him. I used the pet sitter my neighbour recommend, a young lady from Ari who do boarding at her home. The first two days Thor cry every night, I can hear it on the phone call, he is very sad. The sitter sent me a video of him sleeping next to her cat (Mochi, very cute), so I feel better. When I come back he is so happy, he jump on me like he didnt see me for 10 years. He also smell like someone else's shampoo. I think she bathe him too much, but its ok. Some advice for people: ask the sitter to send photos every day, check the house before you leave, and dont leave medicine just in the kitchen. My mistake was not writing down his food brand so the sitter feed him the wrong one for 2 days and his poop was bad. Thor is sleeping on the sofa now, I cannot take him off. Golden are very lazy when they grow up, they say.
