24 hours & a Blanky is all that was needed..

Scout is doing much better today. Not that she was doing badly, but she is settling in very nicely. We had to leave her unattended for about 5 hours yesterday afternoon while we went to Derek's Aunt Karen's funeral services in Renton. We were a little concerned about being gone and what we might come home to. We were happily suprised to come home to the same house we had left behind... no poddy spots anywhere in the house, no chewed up cushions or furniture. :)

Oh and she slept through the night! We did put her blanky that she came with into the crate for her to have something familiar and No whining whatsoever.. okay well not from her anyways.. lol Now Russell has been allowed to sleep in the bed every night for over a year now and he was/is a little upset that he now has been demoted to the dog bed/crate! So he whined at us a tiny bit, I wouldnt even call it whining, it was more of heavy sighing, like he was saying in a discreet way "hooo hemmmm, sure wish I didnt have to sleep in this bed......." "pooooor pooooor me....." He quit after just a few minutes and about 30 minutes later we looked in their crate and they were cuddled up together and sleeping beautifully!

At 6am we were promptly awoken to Scout letting us know it was time to wake up! We opened the crate and then bedroom door and she darted outside. While she was doing that, Russell jumped in the bed and went right for his usual spot under the covers. A minute later, Scout comes tearing back in the house, runs in the bedroom and jumps on the bed and w/o skipping a beat, she immediately starts digging to get under covers! She knows the drill, Russell and her must have had a discussion while we slept and he told her the routine, she just couldnt wait til 6:30 when I normally would have gotten up and then allowed them in the bed, NOOO... she had to wake us at 6! :)

She's such a cuddle bug with me and I cant wait to take more pics of her to post on here, maybe I'll get some in the future of her and Russell playing or sleeping together.
