I had a great time….
Here's where I broke out at....
My husband and I went down to the city to see my daughter and left Buttercup in her kennel with one of the latches latched. We left at 4:00 returned at 8:00. My husband was so worried about her and her potty needs that we left after dinner.
We got home at 8:45 and found out she broke out of her kennel and her and Jasmine had the run of the house. They broke down the gate to the kitchen, thankfully the bedroom gate was still up. (has carpet). /I did leave the basement door open for the cats and of course that is Buttercups now favorite place to poo.
We had puddles all over the ceramic floor – thankfully she left the hardwood floors alone.
Mike had to take her for another walk because she is wound up!!!
Running around the house for 4 hours unsupervised and then have to be controlled she is not happy!
Now, the breeder told us that her mom could undo any lock so the apple didn’t fall far from the tree so to speak!!!
We had to get her a pincher collar because she is just so huge!!! and totally has a mind of her own.
I tried taking the two for a walk and what a disaster. First of all Buttercup backed out of her collar and it’s not the easiest to get back on and then Jasmine is just uncontrollable so I was trying to get the collar on and hold Jas at the same time. We were all set for about 100 yards and then Jas backed out of her collar on the corner with cars at all corners. We made it home finally but until Jaz gets some control it’s a two person walk. I looked so pathetic! Worse than having your kids have a melt down at the check out…….
I have mopped, mopped and mopped some more. I am low on the sweet mothering qualities right now.
Jas has been sick for a couple of days 2 am (worse than having babies) YUCK! I think its the new food.
Buttercup is just peeing all the time no matter how many times she goes out. I think tomorrow is the two hours in the kennel out for a while and back in because we are going backwards on this potty training.
Seems everytime we turn around there is another purchase to be made. Last week it was the collar and those are not cheap.
I swear the Petsmart is our new Lowe’s.
Don't I look innocent and calm-NOT!
From what everyone writes we are talking 4 years of puppyhood-AHAHAHAH!
PS: She came back from the walk more energized she is in her kennel with both locks locked! Time out!!!!
