Raising up Rita (she kept her name)

[TAH]

Adorable

She is getting big, I can tell a difference from these pics compared to the last one.

And I just love that badger face

What do you get when you cross a puppy with an ink pen?

...and you didn't know said puppy was chewing on ink pen...

... and she comes over in her naughty way and chews and bites on your hands and pantsleg and you scold her and say NO... kisses... no bite...

... and then, NOT knowing you have ink all over your hand because said puppy is black and you cannot see it....

... you proceed to the dryer to take out the WHITES you just washed and toss them on the couch to be folded when suddenly you see your hands!



... then you see ink blobs on the wood floors....

..and the carpet...

Thank goodness for one thing... DH was going to go buy another area rug tonight on the way home and I said do it tomorrow, our son stopped by and he was waiting on his dad.... wow that would have been really bad to have a new rug hours old with ink!

Yes, I found the pen- eventually.

Tonight she officially will sleep in her crate overnight.
No cuddling with "mommy".
Yes, I will miss my cuddlebug but I need a break.

I am always getting after DH to pick up the ink pens off of the floor. For me it isn't a dog chewing on them...it is my cat.

Poor baby Rita, sleeping alone and she doesn't even know why. I bet she gave you kisses too.

Mia's new chew toy in the barn is a lawn chair.

She did great!
I woke her up at 6am to take her out. She looked so cute all sound asleep but I had to wake her up. She likes to wake up at 5 when not in the crate and while I am trying to get a jacket and shoes n she can't wait... so crate overnight til she can hold it will have to do.

She is crate trained Babs!
However, she tries o "play" the kids! If she starts that pathetic whine I just walk out to the room and look at her and she stops and lays down. She can't play me!

Haha! I seriously think Rita and my Clara are long lost sisters. She has to be crated when we leave or she'll chew the entire house. When it's just me putting her in there she's fine. When my husband is home it's run away, whine, sulk and put on a pathetic face. He feels sooooo bad for her!

What a relief on the rug!

Hairspray is supposed to help get ink out of fabric.....

Silly Rita! Maybe she was just trying to "mark" her territory, lol!!

 

[babsbag]

A girl's way of marking...

Glad you got her crate trained; she was a crate terror.
