<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh my, little Gracie is a bundle of mischief today!! On the plus side she hasn't peed on the floor in a few days. She's funny ... she'll got 4-5 days without a mistake and then she'll have a day which a total disaster in which she has 2-3 mistakes and then she'll go another 4-5 days without one. She's very private and tries to hide when she pees ..... so it's hard to help her ..... she uses the dog door when no one is looking to go out .... anyway ...... It kind of reminds me of when my kids were 2. They'd go days (weeks) without any issue but if they had ONE issue on a given day that whole day would go downhill and I couldn't wait to put them to bed and start over on a new (clean) day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Snoopy isn't here to make mischief and Gracie is DEFINATELY taking up the slack. She started off wrestling with LuLu up and down the hall ..... furry little alligators .... but LuLu is six and after half an hour she is DONE and went to sleep on the couch behind my desk in the office. So Gracie (who the vet said was 4-5 initially, but we're now thinking ~2) bounced off in all directions. No Snoopy to tease .... so off to Juliannes room and back with a shoe. A new shoe. A new Tom. One of those lacy WHITE ones. She brought it to me after she'd had her way with it. She chews but she doesn't make holes or rip or fray ..... however the shoe was SOAKED and we'll see what color this WHITE shoe is when it dries. Couldn't find the mate. Oh joy. Julianne waited for weeks for those shoes, they were on back order for ever, she really should have put them away .... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I should have put my cashmere lounging pants away too but I didn't and Gracie pulled them down off a chair and high tailed it out of my room with them. Fortunately they tripped her up and I got them back before they got taken out back or mouthed much.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mommy's little dickens is something else. And LuLu, who should be konking her good, is sleeping on the job.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>more later from the clueless momPerson who has NO IDEA how to take care of a young basset and needs Snoopy back NOW before Gracie does anything else.</DIV></div></body></html>
