Sleeping

Lucy is already rejecting the idea of being penned up. Although she'll go into the area, she does it with such a 'hang dog' expression that you know she's cursing us under her breath.

Last night there were fireworks going off because of local summer festivities. She's terrified of firecrackers, so her normal few minutes of whining turned into a production. Now normally she isn't allowed in the bedroom as I'm allergic to dogs and thought at least one room should be 'clean.' However, last night we made an exception and brought her bed in. She hasn't budged. 10 hours later and several different sleeping positions, she is still on her bed.

Soon I'll have to drag (encourage) her out to take care of business and then unfortunately for her, back to the pen. I think we've found a temporary (and I'm sure because she's such a smart girl, she'll make it a permanent) solution.
