Well here I am sitting in my garden at 6.30am for the first time ever, my former life of lie-ins a distance memory for the next 15 years! Actually it's rather nice. I thought it only fair to wake hubby to join me!
Seriously though, last night I put Keltie in her cage without fuss and locked door. Then I pottered around silently for a few mins, then switched off light and just stood for another few mins. She started whining but I had my back to her. (Did I do the bedtime routine right?) I then left her and threatened children, who were watching that awful boxing match, in the adjoining room, not to go to her.
Anyway, I didn't hear a peep but thats not to say she wasn't whining I was just shattered. At 6.00am this morning, which will be my usual time to get up now, I went downstairs with our cat, who had forgotten we have a new 'friend'. As we went into kitchen cat spotted Keltie in cage, arched back, fluffed tail up to enormous proportions and exited via the window in record time, without any brekkie. Anyway, Keltie appeared not to have noticed effect she has on her new sister and just sat looking at me in the cage. Maybe she was hoping I wouldn't notice the poo and wee alongside her - however it was on the puppy pad so I think we can say that was a good night.
Put her out in garden and she didn't wee, but after eating her breakfast at speed, she delivered not one but two poos at the right spot in the garden - what a good girl.
As I write she's at my feet eating a big clump of moss - proving what I always knew that we need to sweep our patio more often - next job when I get time!
Right I'm off back to bed..................................not! But I might wake my children up who usually are up with the lark but for some reason are still in the land of nod - ummm, maybe it was thought of doing poo patrol this morning that aided their slumber?
Sorry for long post and I expect everyone else is still have a lie-in?????
