Brent's been traveling for the National League Championship Series this past week so Maddie and I have been hanging out- you know, the girls. Slumber parties, pampering ourselves, working out, the usual. However, Maddie feels that when Brent is gone she must become super dog rather than passive pup who will show a robber where the Christmas china is stored.The first night, as soon as the TV and lights went off and I was just drifting into beautiful dreams Maddie jumped up into fighter stance and started the low growling while staring at the bedroom door. Well who can sleep through that?! Let alone fall asleep without going out to check the house. She barked a few more times throughout the night and was restless. I got zero sleep!
The second night I thought we had things under control. We'd done the patrol of the house together and locked up and left lights on outside the bedroom. Well Maddie wasn't convinced. She kept checking the door, perking her ears to listen for noises and watching for shadows. I got zero sleep!
After that I had to try new tactics to please Maddie while her hero Brent was out of town. Pary time!! I left all the lights on in the house and the living room TV on. Finally, she was convinced there was a something going on in the living room and thankfully we had decided to let the good times roll without us. I got sleep!
Needless to say we're happy Brent is home, if only for a week.
