Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Riley came right at 7 p.m. on the nuts, while I was getting ready to watch “Survivor” and work out at the same time. CBS switched “Survivor” from Thursday to Wednesday night because of March Madness.

Anyway, Riley walked in with his owners and he went wild. Riley is also a yellow lab, 6 years old, and occasionally has accidents in the house. His owners brought the stuff we told them to bring, contact numbers and asked how well he respond to commands. He responds better to hand signals and when he needs to go out for his business, he will sit by the door, and when you want him to do his business, say “Hurry up!” It worked.

Once the owners left, Riley was all over the house looking for them. He has separation anxiety and I was wondering if we should get the crate out. Also, we found he already had an accident in the Executive Office – both duties. DB cleaned that up. He is trying to make things easy for me, and that is how it should be.

We went to bed at 9 with all 3 boys in the room and the door closed. We didn’t want Mr. Riley to wonder around the house with us snoozing away. As it is, he paws the counters; good thing I saw him and I kneed him good. Didn’t do it again after that.

I was surprised the night went by very good. I thought I would have sleepless night. Riley was a little nervous initially, but settled down when we shut the TV.

This morning I took all three of them for a walk. Good thing is I can walk Cooper without a leash. The walk went very well. I was surprised.

This afternoon, DB will be joining us for our walk….will see what the room look like when I get home this afternoon.
