YAY!!!! Very proud of my girl!

So Shasta is 15 months old now. Last night she spent her first night out of her crate and upstairs in the bedroom with us!! I had her bone up there with us just in case but had absolutely no problems! She was a little confused and excited and couldnt settle down easily at first but she did VERY good. She didnt try to get Riley to play and she never once tried to jump up on the bed. I'm so proud of her! No problems at all! We're gonna try it again tonight and see how she does. Hopefully we'll keep up the good streak and she wont have to sleep in her crate at night anymore which in turn means Riley wont either. She is doing so well. I'm proud of my girl. Yay Shasta!!!

Woo hoo, way to go Shasta!! I hope she continues to do well now that she's a big girl.

Grover is still crated at night in our bedroom, but Jamie isn't. She has her own bed right beside ours. She sleeps with me when hubby is gone, but on her bed when he's home. She only gets on the bed if she is invited to. What I love to do is when I get up before hubby does I let the dogs out to do thier morning business then we all come back in and then Jamie will automatically go to the bedroom door to go get her daddy. When I open that door I tell her to wake up daddy and she bombards him. She jumps on the bed and kisses and tail thumps, talks and rolls all over him. It's so funny to watch.

Good job Shasta!! Keep up the good work!

i'm not sure she really knew what to do with all that space to move around lol. now every time i go upstairs she's hot on my heels and plops down in what is apparently her favorite spot at the foot of the bed!

exactly!


thanks everyone. Shasta is enjoying her time out and about today. She's been in her crate once because i stepped out for a few minutes and we had some tasty pizza on the counter but otherwise she's either helping me with laundry or crashing on my chaise.
