Doggy tales

Hope our U.S. bloggers are enjoying a good holiday weekend and that the folks in Houston are getting the help they need.
I will be visiting my good girl today and will be seeing her dog for the second time. She couldn't stand having her in the kennel all night and then all day when she was at work so she started letting her sleep in a doggy bed at the foot of her bed. It has gone well. She has had no accidents and if she wants to go out in the middle of the night she will come to the side of the bed and push her with her nose. But she often sleeps through the night and then gets up when the alarm rings. My girl can no longer hit snooze because she is looking for attention.
One she didn't have to spend the night in the kennel, she didn't want to be there in the day. She has had a few problems keeping her in the kennel while she was at work during the day. The dog figured out how to open it from the inside. And then she made a mess. When my girl tied the door shut she actually bent a steel latch. My girl was worried she might squeeze her head out and get it caught so they she had to get a bigger kennel and that is working. When my girl arrives home and lets her out of the kennel, she heads right to the door.
And when she wants to go outside after that, she goes to the door and pushes the leash with her nose.
Well, time to get packing.
Hope all is well where you are.
