Pupdate from the Crate: it's always something

Hellooooo my dear friends!  I bet you have been waiting to see how my whole day with dad alone worked out, right?  Well, it was X-awe-sting!  Mom came home late at night and could not find me.  Dad was at his computer in his office.  Well, I was in my crate with the door open cause I took myself there myself and I could barely lift a paw when she came in.  I spent the whole day with dad, in the garage crate while he cleaned for FIVE hours and I know that cause he told mom FIVE hours about a dozen times and it was really true!  Then my people-brother came with Deana and that people-puppy Sawyer and we went straight to the pool and stayed awake and on high alert for three hours which is really true, because they went swimming and I was stuck there staying as far away as I could from everyone and every drop of water. Then I arte dinner and passed out in my crate and that is it.  Dad told mom I was EEEEmazing because I didn't pee on anything and I didn't eat anything, and I didn't run away but.....dad said I have to be watched in the garage pen because I kept trying to find cloth stuffed in holes in the cool-a-roo cot but that was because my teeth go really bored.

Then yesterday I got a tummy sickness and didn't eat my Monday dinner or Tuesday breakfast and my tummy was doing pings and squealy noises and gurgles and I could not lay down so I had to stay the whole day at the vet 😩. But nothing was wrong and I get to eat boiled beef and rice, eggs and broth and that is really yummy!  Mom said she had an old car with a bad radiator that pinged and squealed like my tummy and she was so worried.

Hey!  I am now 44 lbs big and I outgrew my baby crate and I got moved up to the mansion crate!  Ya huh!  The biggest crate in the world!!  It was my Bruno's crate and mom said it is wayyyyy to big for me but dad said we are doing a "financial adjustment" and there is no need to buy a bigger smaller crate.  Just get a look at the difference!

I am thinking I might have a big dog party in there with my buddies and we will have lots of room!!  Mom got sad cause now I'm big, and it reminds her of Bruno who never used this crate after he was 2 years old and might not have even fit in it when he was 8 cause he was a GIANT!    This is him!

Mom has been working her fingers to the bone cause we are maybe having a house showing tomorrow.  Poor mom, she said she wants some time to work in her sewing room, but this house won't let her.  Two big trees fell yesterday and her lightbulb blew out glass all over her sewing room, and a dead bird was in the middle of the driveway and its that time of year for spiders everywhere and a groundhog has dug a giant hole by her studio and the repair guys aren't calling back to fix the barn where the other tree fell last week or so ago and......she says she just wants to cuddle me and then sew.

So you see, mom was worried for nothing when she did her rescue drive, but just so her energy wasn't wasted, My tummy gave her something to worry about a whole day later.  That mom!  She is always right!  Something WAS gonna happen!

Hope you are all staying cool and having the best summer day ever!  With love, Ardie, the little big dog!
