..... she stopped crying, so I let her out .....and she jumped straight up onto the table! :ilmc:
oh dear, got that wrong!
I have a mountain of paperwork to do, including vat return 
so I brought it all downstairs to do at the table, rather than shut myself away from the dogs in my study. Izzy is a climber, and the latest game is getting on the table, I have taken her off with "NO" I don't know how many times this morning, but when she jumped up to pinch my bacon roll it really was the final straw. I picked her up and put her in her crate (I know, I know!) and she has been crying and barking for 15 minutes. I'm now waiting for her to stop so I can let her out again. Feeling like a bad, bad mummy and I can't get on with work ....

Honestly, this is meant to be guilt free mothering, did (and still doing) too much guilt stuff with the kids

Yup - I have a toddler (Izzy) and a teenage daughter, I know which is easier..... my boys were a breeze.....
oh, but Izzy sat at the door twice yesterday evening wanting to go out and she didn't wake until Ciara came down at 7am (she's not sleeping in her crate now)and now she's gazing up at me.... :love-eyes:

Dont worry Ali. We all have days when we think Uh-Oh bad mothering, rewind
How does she manage to climb up, does she use a chair. Or is it one god almighty leap. LOL, I've just had a vision of her leaping, sliding uncontrollably along the length of your table, taking all your paper work, inc the VAT return with her.
Sorry, I wasn't much help here have a :hug: instead.

What a cheeky girl! Don't feel bad! She wont hold it against you!
It seems to be her main mission today - to be on the table
I have made myself some Lady Grey, time for a doggy cuddle on the sofa :hug:
