Before you leave the house...

Copper - guard the house. Fender, Watson - mind Copper.

Rocky gets crated, I slide the board to keep Boone in the kitchen and in the room with Rocky and then they get treats and I say "Bye Boys....I'll see ya later". Boone has SA so I try not to make a big deal about my leaving.
If I leave and someone is still home they watch me leave out the window and I wave as I'm backing out the drive. :D

Rocky has a make-shift room/bed area in the garage. So we tell him, Rocky get in your bed and he'll crawl inside and peak his head out. Then we'll put a treat at his paws and tell him to wait, then after I back my car out of the garage we'll tell him ok and then he gets his treat. At night (if it's not too cold in the garage) we'll tell him to get into his bed and give him a treat and tell him good night. For some reason, if we say good night, he'll stay quite and if we don't he'll whine at the door for a while. But I figured if we give him a treat then he knows that it's not so bad if he's not right there with us for a while.

We start with "Come on, lets kennel up" - then she will go get in her kennel and sit & wait for me to get there. I fill up her water bowl and give her a biscuit and pat her head. I turn on the tv, open the blinds and position the door just right so she can see around it and out the window. Then I blow kisses and say "bye suga bug, momma see you when I get home, Love you!"

Then when I get home it's "Hi wiggles, hi baby girl, hi mamma's girl. Were you good girl today, love you wiggles". This whole time she is coating my face in kisses..I love it, I'm a dork about my dog and I don't care :D
