First aspect in which I had to say to myself "oh my gawd" - Every morning is the same routine, get ready for work, let Wagner out, feed him, visit with him and then take him out to the bathroom before I crate him up and head to work. I got to laughing at myself this morning because I actually got excited that my dog peed AND pooped outside before I had to put him away. I figured, this must be a start to a good day and then I quickly thought - wow, has my life gone downhill so much that I get excited when my puppy does #1 and #2 in the same outing and I think that that's a start to a good day???
Any way, I crated him up, left for work.
Second aspect where I had to say to myself "oh my gawd" - Well, I arrived home after work, excited to let the puppy out OF HIS CRATE and play, but to my surprise, when I opened my front door - there came Wagner like a bolt of lightning, kidney beaning around like he was the star of "Flashdance". (I have never seen him kidney bean this seriously ever). My THREE MONTH OLD PUPPY had been out of his crate all day! Our fault completely, since when we put his plastic crate back together we didn't attach the screws and he must have kicked a little too hard and knocked the crate up and the door out! Those of you who have those airline-type plastic crates know what I'm talking about. We have never had to put the screws in, because he was just too little before to kick hard enough to make the crate ajar.
Anyhow, I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only was my puppy out, but he decided he'd like the company of every piece of garbage in my office as well. He shredded everything. There was paper covering every inch of my office floor! Not to mention, he pooped twice and peed as well!!!
I just couldn't be mad. As soon as I saw him kidney beaning his way down the hall, I melted. He was so excited to see me - all I could do was clean the house back up and promise myself that I would secure the crate better next time!!!!!
Thanks for listening! Had to tell someone!
