Maizey in a drawer

Thanks for the offers to take "the poop-y one" off our hands. And while its tempting to send her off to someone else's house to poop on someone else's floor, the husband is quite attached to her. So I'm trying out new ways to keep her from sneaking off to defile my carpet. You see, I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen. When we (the dogs and I, cause husband is long gone by the time we wake up) get up in the morning, the dogs go outside to relieve themselves and then come back in to eat breakfast... in the kitchen. And I don't like to leave the house without doing the dishes, so I spend my pre-work minutes in the kitchen...thats usually when she sneaks off into the dining room to potty under the pool table. And then when I get home from work, I'm usually in the kitchen putting away clean dishes and dirtying new ones while I fix dinner. And I have a baby gate to keep her in the kitchen side of the house, but those darn open floor plans make it kind of difficult to keep her entirely IN the kitchen... again this is where we get into trouble... I'm paying attention to something else, and she knows it and poops. SOOOOOOOOO today I put Maizey in the drawer to keep her conscience close by and thus her poop off my floor!

I think she knows shes in trouble, and the other dogs just like to taunt her.

Fortunately, when I'm not in the kitchen, she crawls up in my lap and we usually look like this.

Yeah... thats my lap, and 2 cavies, and me trying to write this blog while wedging my computer in between them. But can't you see why we tend to forget the poops on the floor?? In moments like this, shes so sweet and asleep shes easy to forgive.
