Maddie came along with me on my trip to Glasgow yesterday and today and I'd just like to congratulate her on being the perfect guest! We had a couple of ball-throwing interludes in the park (she loves chasing tennis balls) during which she ignored all other dogs and even dropped her ball when Sophie (young and boisterous chocolate lab) came bounding up - who then nabbed it and ran off with it (the owner brought it back). We went for a long walk round the streets this morning (well, to Susan & Ian's, there was a purpose to it) during which she didn't pull too badly on the lead and managed to be let off for a couple of rummages round open green areas and burns without finding a car to run in front of.
We left her on Saturday evening while we went to church and dinner and the house was intact when we returned. I left her this morning to go catch up with a friend and Dad's comment was "she didn't cry for four hours" - see Murphy? It is possible!
Overnight I kept her in my room in case she went a-wandering and she did get terribly excited and wake me up a few times by coming to the bed and pawing at my face (probably to make sure I was still there and in case I'd missed any daylight) but I managed to roll over and ignore her so she went off to lie down again (although what daylight there was at 3.30am who knows!) - however she remained quiet.
And finally we went to visit Elizabeth on the way home. Maddie headed off out the door into the garden, did a wee on the grass like a good girl then stood patiently at entirely the wrong door for a while until we noticed and invited her back in the right door! After which she drank some water in a most ladylike way and went to sleep on Elizabeth's feet.
Awwww!
