There's no way around it: Miss Moo is such a good girl. She's goofy yet well behaved, entertaining yet not overbearing, and social yet not an energetic space cadet. She has continued to blossom herself and is earning more freedom. Nick and I have been throwing the idea of leaving her uncrated while we leave the house for a week or so. We decided to give it a go on Friday night while we were at barn bash with the 56ers. She was left alone for 5 hours (a bit longer than originally anticipated.) We came home and she hopped off the couch a happy little girl. Nothing disturbed or touched, no pee, just a happy Miss Moo.
So Sunday we did the same thing while we went to church. We closed the doors to the bedroom and bathroom, tucked the trash in the bathroom, gave her a tasty kong and off we went. Upon return, again, a house fully together and a happy Molly hopping off the couch to greet us.
We thought we might take this process a little slower than it's been going, but we tried a full work day to see how she would do. Perfect, beautiful, not an issue. Apparently she went to get her kong and then realized she really had to pee so she bolted to the door where she was promptly taken out. Looks like she may not need to be crated during her golden years here with us.
We made a spontaneous trip to Don and Twyla's in MD on saturday and of course Molly came with us. She was a really good girl and aside from trying to get all Maddie's bones into her possession she was a model citizen. We did keep a leash on her just in case she decided she didn't like Maddie, but by the end of the visit she was walking past Maddie without any hint of issue.
It's really tough having such a well behaved dog... : ) now if we could just keep her from pawing up at the dinner table. That is one behavior that I don't tolerate. But all in all, easy easy little lady : )
