I woke up last night and man did I have to take care of some business. The night had started off rough when the lady tried to lock me up. I told her, I barked and barked until she let me out. She grabbed my new pillow and I got to spend the night in the little boys room. Back to my business... well, no one was awake to let me outside and I'm not sure how to wake them up so I found a nice spot in the kitchen and the living room and took care of it.
I guess house broken has less to do with getting something broken while in a house but everything to do with not doing your business in the house. Mom (that's the lady's name) woke up pretty early and took me outside. Then she cleaned up my mess and hung out with me until everyone else got up. She is really nice, she didn't yell at me or kick me just took me outside and let me walk around and eat snow and grass. Oh yeah, I love grass, it settles my stomach and since I just switched food it is a necessity.
After a full episode of Law and Order mom finished her first cup of coffee and I got breakfast. I didn't even know dogs got breakfast... It was wonderful and then I got a biscuit and more loves. These people sure do like to touch me and play with these squeeky balls. Pretty soon Jeff got up (the is mom's husband, I think) and I got to play with him for a while before the little boy, Hunter, got up.
Hunter took me back outside and we explored some more before his sister finally got up. Mom said she was going back to bed and left meto play with the two kids. We played for a long time while they watched TV until I had some business to take care of again and this time I found a nice spot in sister's room.
Note to self: HOUSEBREAKING is important to this family, the kids got in trouble this time.
I had forgotten to go outside but when Jeff found out he stomped in and told Mom. She yelled down the hall for everyone to go outside and so I was back outside with the kids. By the time we came back in everything was cleaned up.
Have I mentioned I love it outside, the only problem being the stairs. I am finally able to go up and down by myself without my leash but it is pretty scary. Coming back up isn't much fun either since I have to use my bum leg but I have done it twice today after they left me outside alone.
I don't mind being outside alone but I don't like to be locked up inside, so when they all left today to go bowling I cried and barked and scratched at my kennel door but no one came. Then, I made an amazing discovery, if I put myfoot between the floor of my kennel and the carpet and push it lifts the kennel up and I can get out. So I was out and had the entire place to myself, so I took a nap until the people got home.
The evening was much of the same except now I get to go outside all by myself as long as I stand by the door. I haven't had 'accidents' since this morning but my leg is getting sore. After dinner I got a new treat that made the trips up and down the stairs worth it, a rawhide bone and a beggin' strip. These are the two most wonderful tasting pieces of Heaven I have come across in all 8 months of my life!!
I guess the best way to sum up day 2 is that I have learned how to get around and out of this new house. What not to do when I am inside and what and wear to eat.
Now I think it is time for another nap...
