Terrible Twos...

If dogs went through terrible twos, we had a case of it today!
We were headed to Nathan's parents house to pick up some of his things from their basement, but first we wanted to stop by Town Center for a quick errand.  We knew this meant that she would be missing her morning nap (yes she has scheduled naps :) but figured she would sleep all afternoon to make up for it.  We checked first to make sure the stores we were visiting were open and they all said they would be, BUT they lied... we were there at 10:00 and no-one opened till at least noon, so that was a bust. We figured we would stop on the way back.  So we continued on to Paola but Miss Bailey could NOT sit still!  She insisted on sitting in the engine rather than the back seat...
Once we finally got there, she was SO excited to see her cousins - Sam, Daisy and Stella!  They ran and ran and ran - we thought surely that would wear her out so she would sleep the rest of the afternoon!  But NO, Miss Cranky Pants could NOT sit still - front door, back door, basement and over and over... then she PEED IN THE HOUSE!!!  What on earth - she hasn't had an accident for at least 5 months!

Meanwhile - Doris and I were in the process of making her a fleece coat - with Miss Bailey's help of course!  We didn't have a pattern, but based it off this picture - (yes I could have bought it but I'm cheap!)  Looks easy enough, but it definitely served to be a little trickier than expected!


After we ate lunch, Nathan and Bill took Bailey out to the shed while we continued on her coat.  When they came back in, she was all wired up again, so Daddy and Miss Bailey had a heart to heart... literally.
Her next little trick was the icing on the cake... He let her up, she went straight to the basement... AND POOPED!  Really Bailey, REALLY!  You have been house broken for at least 6 months, probably longer!
That was enough excitement for one day, we loaded up and headed out.  We made it about 8 minutes before pottery barn closed - I hate being that person, but we really needed new towels!  The ride home was MUCH different than the previous drive - she didn't move :)
Once home she was promptly fed and put to bed!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day with naps taken and less attitude!!
