[Dailydrool] The clueless momPerson checking in

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, it's Dale,

Well, Greg has been in Oregon for a week now.  I was pretty worried about the 
hounds because I work and the girls are at school but usually Greg is home.  I 
mean he runs errands and goes to the gym but they are never alone more than an 
hour or two here and there.  And Gracie and Snoopy have this sibling thing going 
on the last few months off and on, so I worried.  Because I am clueless.

So on Monday the girls went to school and I went to work.   And the hounds were 
on their own.  Natalie got home first, at 3.  I texted her and she said the dogs 
were fine.  I came home at 5:30 and they were all three cuddly and snuggly and 
giving each other head rubs and body rubs.

So on Tuesday the girls went to school and I went to work.  Adn the hounds were 
on their own.  Julianne got home first, at 3.  I called her and she said the 
dogs were fine.  I came home at 5:30 and they were all three cuddly and snuggly 
and giving each other head rubs and body rubs.

And then, last night, I went to bed.  And then Snoopy came to bed.  And then 
Gracie came to bed.  And then LuLu came to bed.  None of the usually snarking 
and grumbling and hey that's my spot and hey, your snooter is too close to my 
snooter, and hey, I was here first, hey ... move over, hey.  Nove of that.  And 
then ....... at 3:30 AM Gracie sat straight up, jumped off the bed.  I heard her 
run down the hall, through the kitchen, out the back dog door and 10 seconds 
later back she came, ears slightly wet, bladder emptied and went back to sleep.  
Now, the moon was full so I don't know if I can count that as taking herself 
potty in the dark or not but I was thrilled.

It seems being alone together all day has actually HELPED their relationships 
and behavior.  They bonded.  I don't understand at all.  I'm happy about it but 
totally clueless.

More later from the ever clueless momPerson who is glad the hounds are happy and 
not making any trouble for me.
