3am This morning and husband has gone deaf!
"Thank you darling husband says I" Well off we go to sleep Husband having put Cloud to bed in his playpen. 3am I am woken by loud and strange noises. So after 5 minutes of trying to wake comatose husband I thrown on dressing gown and get up. Look in Cloud's room and there he is looking like a little angel in his playpen! So I go in and at this point notice that the playpen door is wide open. Together Cloud and I wander downstairs through an increasing display of chaos! Shredded socks, shoes, gloves, books and finishing with a potty accident (Cloud's not mine) by the front door (which I trod in). So by the time Cloud has been out and I have tidied and cleaned downstairs and me feet it is now 3.30am. Had clever Cloud worked out how to unlock play pen door! NO HUSBAND and forgot to lock it!! End result Cloud is a good puppy Geoff is a very very naughty puppy and will suffer a lot!  |

Men... not puppies. I understand.  (Sorry to all men who do their do diligence) Bennii works from home, gets to sleep til 9/930, and lives in Baltimore, while Chowder lives in NJ with me. We wake up at 6am M-F. So fair is fair, weekends are his job to wake up with her and take care of her. Doesn't so bad? It gets better. As a puppy we trained her to sleep in so Chowder normally wakes up at 1030ish. Not even early!! And, yes, we sleep in a lot like we're still teenagers. This morning, 9 am, Chowder it pacing around the room, he yells "go lay down", so obviously awake and aware she is awake. By 9:30 the pacing has driven me crazy and we are outside enjoying this beautiful fall morning. On a Saturday! Daddy's day! |
| Ah the joys of puppyhood! Nope, men don't normally carry the nuture gene that allows them to hear noises or sense trouble in the middle of the night. Go ahead and skin the guy for not locking the gate, hopefully there is nothing foreign down inside puppy that will require emergency removal.......hard and expensive lesson to learn. Of course men justify it by, "stupid dog" when in reality they are just amusing themselves because the upright was the "stupid dog." Hope you don't have too many more of these middle of the night escapades. |

I wont ask what his (husband not Cloud!) punishment is?! We had the same problem with Esher the other night/morning someone had forgotten to lock the playpen door and where was Esher - eating Tibby-Toos cat food after giving up taking socks out of my drawer. Woke up to find a sock here and there. Lincoln bless him was trying to tell me by licking my face, but it was the weekend - so getting A into G was slightly hard. |
| Ya'll can bash us men all you want. I know that in our house, it's Jen who consistently leaves the back door ajar. There have been at least four times in recent memory where she was the last one up to deal with the dogs and left the door askew. The last time was this past Monday night. I wake to Caitlyn whining around 2:30. Jen got up and let her out and came back to bed. Around 4:30 she started at it again. Jen poked me and said ti was my turn. In my delirium, I figured since she had just been out, she couldn't need to go out AGAIN, ALREADY... I finally got up at 5:30. Caitlyn had been whining on an off the whole time. When I walked out towards the kitchen, I thought to myself, man, it's chilly. As I walked past the thermostat, I checked it and the furnace was on and running. When I turned the corner to enter the kitchen, everything became very clear. I found out why it was cold in the house. I found out why Caitlyn was whining. The back door to the deck was wide open and cats were coming and going as they pleased... and Zoey too!!! At this point, I had to go into what I've begun calling 'headcount mode'. I needed to know who was in, who wasn't and track down the latter. Since we have two Persians who should never see the outside, I went into overdrive. I ran back and threw on whatever clothes I could and a pair of slip-on Vans, (gotta love my Vans!). I raced back out to the deck with a MagLite in hand to round up the escapees. Luckily, only one Persian was feeling wylely that night. I was able to grab Anastasia on the lower deck. Her feet weren't went, so she never hit the grass. Jen finally came out of the bathroom, still starry-eyed and wondering what all the ruckus was about... It ain't all about the men. Some of us men have DWs. Even if only for a moment... Sorry to hijack the thread, but I felt this was relevant. Vance |
Vance be at peace you have an excuse. Many many paws to guard  Hey Moontime tell Esher that Geoff's punishment is that he gets to bath Cloud after his very muddy walk today. |

[color=#8000FF]Ahhh well that is punishment!!! However, I wouldnt bath Cloud, its too much effort as I would put some baby powder on the muddy paws let it dry in and then brush out - its an old showing trick. But we wont tell Geoff <G> [/color] |
May tell him later  xx |
| I complain about David, well, pretty constantly but in terms of waking up in the night with Mady when she was a puppy he was a star. Wow, it feels weird even typing this. I hope he doesnt read it. |
