A Little Venting
Jan. 9th, 2026 07:36 amI'm looking after Nora ~ 15 hours a day.
Sis, has night duty.
Nora had soaked through her heavy duty pee pads and managed to poop in her crate without Sis doing anything about it. Apparently, the bedding -- which was wet to the touch and reeked -- "looked dry."
I love Sis. She's working hard and paying most of the bills. But I offered to take Nora's crate in my room or switch bedrooms with her, and Sis said no.
Anyway, baby dog has had her morning pills. I've gotten the house ready for the cleaning ladies (I strip the beds; they make them and then they clean all surfaces. Bless them.)
ETA: I took Nora out of the crate to change her bedding. She was on a small lined doggy bed. I walked to my bathroom to dispose of things and found that she'd managed to drag herself to the front door (at least 8 feet) in that very brief time.
She's a determinator.
ETA 2: Nora's breaks for freedom are, per the vet, bad for her recovery. We're picking up a new prescription for her that should keep her docile and prevent her speeding around dragging her back legs.
Also, I know that science has yet to find the graviton, but I think they should interview Nora. She's pulling something to herself to make 30 lbs of dog feel like a Great Dane.
