Margo Puppy Day 9.
Set up a pair of pet gates to make a good sized enclosure around the pup's crate which lives under the stairs in a basement kitchen. Last night was my turn to be on watch and was to be the trial of the pen set-up whereby she's free to come and go from her crate and pee and poop on the pad in the utility room. I was to sleep on a camp bed at the other end of the same room (it's a kind of open plan kitchen/dining/living room space) to comfort her if she needed and to make sure she didn't get out or get stuck.
As usual she woke up every hour for the first half of the night and whimpered to get out of the new pen and be taken for a pee. First time it happened, I thought i'd leave her for a bit in case she just needed to figure out the new set-up. A few squeaks and some scuffling and noises and... a happy little dog face popped up by my pillow. Yep, she can get through the bars. Great. Spent the rest of the night being woken up every hour or so as per. *le sigh
She's also been back to the vet because she's still very itchy and has scabs and raw patches behind her ears. The bad news is that she still has fleas and may also have mange. Joy. The good news is that she's put on so much weight that she qualifies for the proper oral flea-treatment and can now have a bath.
In other news I have made a logo (ripped off Mar-a-Largo obvs) to make a a "Lair-a-Margo" sign for her den. because I'm a besotted idiot and am too tired to do proper work.
