Remember when I came to my new home....I had big time anxiety issues. I had to sleep in a covered kennel. Eventually I could sleep in an uncovered kennel.
Later I was moved to a 4 X 8 ft spot in the basement. Ive been in there about 1 yr. The past couple months I've been breaking out and she calls me her little Houdini.
So....mom thought since I'm breaking out....that I might be ready for the whole basement area. In the past, if given too much space my anxiety clicks in and I poop. But I've done really good this week.
Actually...my mom and dad have been im Texas all week seeing the grand kids. My sitter says that I'm doing great. I will be glad to see them tonight.
You are doing well. And we know you will be really happy to see your Mom and Dad.

Crikey Oreo ..... how good is that?? You and I have something in common. I get anxious if Mum and Dad go out and leave me at home alone. I had to be left in my crate or I would destroy the house. Even in my crate I would ALWAYS eat my bed but guess what?? I've graduated too. Mum thought I would be better left out of my crate and she tried me one day. She only left me for half an hour but when she came back she snuck around the back of the house and caught me stretched out on the lounge chair fast asleep and happy as a pig in mud. She's now left me for up to 3 hours and so far so good. Isn't it great to overcome our fears a bit, aye??????? Bet you can't wait for your folks to get home.
ReplyDeleteThat's it. You're thinking like a bird. Save all that poop for them when they come home.
ReplyDeleteOh how great that your pawrents are back tonight... have a wonderful reunion pawty...
ReplyDeleteWhat great news that you've graduated to no more crate, Oreo! Your bed looks nice and comfy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Thats a big step! Keep up the good work!!!
