My oak trees are already losing leaves and acorns. I'm going to have to really watch Callie. They can be toxic. Guess I'll have to really keep them raked up.
Yup these little stinkers can get into so much! When Robin brought Pye to me, she brought an old dish towel that she kept in the puppy kennel so he could smell his littermates.
Oh boy did I have trouble getting him to sleep! This is what I finally did, I bungie corded his crate to an old table so he would be at eye level with me. His crate door opened right behind my pillow. At first I would jam a kong filled with a little cream cheese between the bars, he would be busy with that and would usually put himself to sleep. I did take him out
at least once a night at first. And, of course I stayed out with him, that first week Robin and I both did! He was so tiny and I was so afraid of the owls swooping down and geting him.
To this day he sleeps above our heads on the bed.
Right there I was using Michael's piano bench with one of his old drawing boards underneath. I later went to the thrift shop and found the perfect size table.
Here is a picture of his puppy set up.
The next month I discovered LuLu, his favorite toy. He would 'nurse' on LuLu and then go to sleep. To this day I know when he wants to go to bed, he comes in with Lulu, he will take her outside, follow me around till I get the hint. I bought about 6 of these and put them away, he
can't be without Lulu.
Raising Pye was an adventure for me. He's the only puppy I have ever had. I will say
that we have a very deep devotion to each other. He's my baby.
Michael takes Pogo for rides in the car and for little walks around the cabin, Pye won't go unless I go. He wants to very badly, but, he won't leave me.
