Saturday was kind of a drag. Mom and Dad both had to work and they couldnt find a sitter for me so mom put my kennel in the hallway and blocked off the bedrooms, put up my gate, gave me toys and food and water i had access to the whole hallway and the bathroom. mom had picked me up at grandmas and we spent time together till about four when mommy left. mom came home about 9 and i hadnt gone potty on the floor at ALL! mom was soooo proud. then she had to go back to work, she got home about 1:30 am and i still hadnt gone potty! i was so good, mommy loved on me forever, she was so proud. we went to bed about three and we didnt wake up till 1pm. i was such a goooooood Maraka. Mom even said that we were going to get a dog park pass this year, cause im old enough now. wooohooo. mom said that there is a park on German Church on the east side of town that is closer to us but isnt sure if that would be the best fit for us. she would LOVE some suggestions from any other bark parkers!
