DEAR ABBY: Does anyone know what the protocol is for providing food for house sitters? Should they bring their own, or should it be provided for them? -- NOT CERTAIN IN ALBANY, ORE.
DEAR NOT CERTAIN: I think the answer depends upon who is doing the sitting and for how long a period of time. However, if you're wise, you will make sure to have a clearly stated agreement in advance so there are no misunderstandings.
