Another good night's sleep! I was woken at 7.45 by a little voice telling me that they needed to go for a wee. Again, he'd had a wee in his crate during the night so again the day started with putting the washing machine to work ;o)
Rainy morning fun involved my standing out in the rain in my pyjamas waiting for Bran to decide whether he *really* needed a wee or *really* needed to chomp on Flora's tail first! After spending half an hour racing around the garden, then half an hour racing around the house, I gave Bran his breakfast and settled him in his crate for an hour whilst we had our breakfast.
Being a lab AND a puppy, he's very food orientated and seems to lose all control of his manners when food appears!! However, every time he's coming in from having a wee outside, I've been asking him to sit for a treat and that's working like a charm. He's slowly realising that he gets a treat straight after Flora so doesn't need to try to steal her's out of her mouth!
More friends came to visit today - my heavily pregnant best friend Sarah and her nearly 3 year old son Zack. Zack arrived in a not great mood as he'd been sleeping on the journey over and needed to be woken upon arrival here, so he wasn't very thrilled with the welcome he received from the dogs! After a little while though, he felt better and was happy to pat them on the head. Bran started to go into his crocodile mode* though and so I popped him into his crate with a chew for a break. He happily chomped on his chew, then settled down for a sleep without a murmur of complaint. Bless.
Again, the little fella was ready for bed by about 10, so we followed his lead and settled him down. He sat and barked for a couple of minutes tonight, but then settled beautifully.
