Yesterday started off well. No whining or barking in the morning (thanks Rescue Remedy!), a good walk at lunch (though there was some crying and barking when I left) and a decent jaunt around the block when I got home from work.

When I put Poppy in her pen later to take a shower, I was greeted when I got out to pee in the pen. AGAIN. This is the second day in a row this has happened. This rarely happens when I leave her in the pen and apartment alone for 4+ hours, but for some reason this week, I leave her in there for 30 minutes while I am in the apartment and she pees. I was so upset, but as always there was little I could do at that point. She also barked and whined (still less thanks to Rescue Remedy, but it's still there) while I was in the shower too. And as always, when I let her out, I get her ready for a walk and this time, for the first time ever, she SNAPPED at me and ran away, because I was shocked, yelled and got mad instantly. I didn't want to get near her at all after that, but I had to take her out for a walk. She could tell I was mad and didn't want to come so I had to force her. We went for our normal long walk and I pretty much cried the entire time (12 day record!). She (and I) were fine when we got back and everything was back to normal.

Today I put her in doggie day care (a different place then on Monday) because I have a work function at lunch and it looks nice. Plus I could look into the playroom when I dropped her off and they have a webcam, which of course I am going to be obsessed with today.

Due to her pee'ing at night, I am going to try putting her in her create instead as the area is smaller and she loves getting in it when we go for car rides (which she LOVES!) so hopefully that will help. I'll keep you posted, as always.

(Sorry for all the blog posts, but I just need a place to vent and record my thoughts and this seems like a good place at the moment!!! Thanks for listening:-)).
