Bad days & recoveries

So, Tug went back into doggie daycare and 40 minutes after I dropped him off I got a call to come get him. Long story short, without the details: he just got "normal" a few hours before Mama got home 4 days later. He was fine within 2 days after she returned which was great as we had a long weekend away for Christmas.

The really cool part of being away this past weekend was an unexpected bonus for the baby: Mama was sleeping on our suite's couch the first night and let Tuggums stay on the couch with her- all night!! He was snuggled in and keeping her legs warm so we shut the door to the bedroom so he wouldn't decide to come join my sister or me without warning. He stayed right with her and it was the first time he'd slept out of his crate since he moved in with us at 7 weeks old (he's 4 1/2 now). He loved it! It went so well that Mama let him sleep with her the whole weekend.

So, the first night we were back at home and Mama calls Tug to go into his crate- home is different, after all- and he looks at her like "huh?" It took me tricking him into my lap so she coul pick him up and pop him in. The next night he understood the rules and went back in without a yip! :) Gotta love our boy!
