The Day After

Friday, November 28th, 2008 | Uncategorized

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m still full from eating two Thanksgiving meals yesterday.

Our day is fairly typical. I run the Bonfield Express at 8:30am, I slack off for a couple of hours, we go to my mom’s around noon, we come home for about an hour, and then we go to Dan’s sister’s house in the 4-5pm range. But this is the first year in a while we’ve had that schedule with a 9 month old Swissy pup who is not fully house trained. Which means she would be crated for a long time.

Well, we decided to through caution to the wind. Since her longest time without a person with her was about 3 hours, we thought Thanksgiving could be the test day. Meaning, we left her out of the crate. She’s sometimes left out unsupervised in the mornings while we’re sleeping in, or on nights when we both decide to go to Hapkido and don’t want to crate her again.

Each time we came home, we started the search. The search for pee and poop. It had to be somewhere, right? I am happy to say that she went all day without an accident in the house! And she was not crated! We had her favorite neighbor girl come by around 7pm to feed everyone, so I thought Indy would have left us a nice present, but no. I’m so proud of her.

I have probably jinxed myself. Indy will probably start pooping everywhere today, just out of spite.
