Oh, this little lady just drives me crazy. Really, she's a wonderful dog and we wouldn't trade her for the world. But, every day around 3:30, she knows her boys are supposed to be returning home from school. The bus drops them off down the road and they walk through the door about 3:45. She did this in Kansas as well- somehow she just knows their schedule. She does the same thing at night when it's time to go to bed {with Justin}. She'll lay down on the floor in our room while we're all hanging out or watching a movie. Pretty close to 10:00, she's ready to head upstairs- just like clockwork. She knows.
After school, the problem is they don't always come home every day right when she's ready for them to arrive. From 3:30 until they walk through the door, I get to listen to her whine. It's really so annoying. She alternates between sitting up and lying down right smack in front of the door, on the rug of course, with the most pathetic whine. I can scold her, but within a minute she's right back at the door waiting. Waiting and whining. On Friday, Coleman was home sick. Justin and Tyler stayed after school {as they do Monday/Wednesday/Friday} to lift weights. Once 3:30 came around and she didn't know what to do with herself. So, she whined ALL the way until 5:30 when they showed up. Two solid hours. I thought I was going to lose my mind. How do you break something like this? She's going to be so lost when Justin goes away to college. We're going to be left with one depressed dog. Oh, she loves her boys.
The other morning, Ty was still {trying} to sleep. She's absolutely forbidden from jumping up on our bed, but knows the boys let her up on their beds. She jumped up to go back to sleep and Caden covered her up with his blanket. Maybe this is the problem.
