See that adorable face in my header up there? \u00a0A face everyone would love? \u00a0A face that melts your heart? \u00a0 An adorable, little puppy face that just makes you want to squeeze her?<\/p>\n
Well, I’m just saying to all of you that have managed to raise a puppy indoors, I applaud you. \u00a0Molly is caged at night for her safety and David gets her out every morning before he goes to work and then just leaves her in the shop until I wake up. \u00a0Then first thing after I get out of bed I let her out and she does what she has to do and then she is left out with the big dogs to play.<\/p>\n
So far so good. \u00a0Not many accidents in my shop.<\/p>\n
This morning it was pouring rain and David didn’t leave her out which I am glad for, but…….<\/p>\n
Let’s just say I slept in a little this morning. \u00a0 Okay, I slept in a lot. \u00a0I don’t like to get up late because I feel like I have wasted part of the day away in bed, but this morning with the rain pattering on the skylight and feeling all cozy and snug in bed I slept. \u00a0And I slept. \u00a0Something I haven’t done in years. \u00a0Once I woke up and through sleepy eyes I saw that it was nine- thirty. \u00a0“I have got to get up,” I told myself as my eyes closed again. \u00a0Then, the next time I looked at the clock it was ten-thirty and I jumped up and ran downstairs to let Molly out of my shop. \u00a0I was afraid of what I would see when I opened the door. \u00a0My fears were well founded.<\/p>\n
Molly had had a poop and pee party all over my shop. \u00a0Whether it was from frustration, anxiety or revenge, she sure did \u00a0a number on my shop floor. \u00a0I was so glad at that moment that I had cement floors and no rugs in the shop.<\/p>\n
I let her out and began the clean up, pouring bleach everywhere and spraying disinfectant. \u00a0Then I realized I could hardly breathe so I turned on the air conditioner and fan and left the shop for a while. \u00a0Later I came back and scrubbed the floor with soap and water. \u00a0I am going to go over it with a wet swiffer \u00a0in a little while.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Molly was all, ” I want to play and bite your heels,” something we are trying very hard to train her not to do. \u00a0She is out with Belle and Bonnie now. \u00a0I know, I know, this is what you should expect with a puppy, but I really didn’t know a puppy could go so many times in a matter of a few hours. \u00a0I won’t let it happen again.<\/p>\n
Other than that, Molly is such a good addition to our dog family. \u00a0She is sweet most of the time. \u00a0Once in a while she turns into the Tasmanian Devil and tries to nip and bite and goes all growly and vicious, but we don’t let her get away with it. \u00a0She is learning to sit for treats and she loves her treats. \u00a0She can smell them before she sees them and gets all excited.<\/p>\n
I hope your day started better than mine. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
