Since we are such a venting society, I thought I would report on the good stuff too, if only so I can keep track for my own sanity.

This morning when I was getting ready to leave, I put Poppy in her pen with breakfast as always. After she was done, there was only minimal whining and barking. I had forgotten to put her blanket that we snuggle with at night on her bed when I first put her in the pen, so I put it in a little bit later. There was very minimal whining and she quickly went to her bed to snuggle in the blanket. I waited outside for the usual 5 minutes to listen for anything and there was NOTHING today. I am so happy at this moment!

But as usual, ask me again at lunch....
