By now you may know that I am trying very hard to come up with a plan for Gigi when I am at work. So I came up with the play pan idea... which works fine on day 1 and 2. Today is day 3, I woke up, took care of Gigi and put her in her play pan area and went to the bathroom to get ready. When I came out she was obviously trying to dig and the plastic drop cloth was all crunched up!!! I was pissed. But I controlled my anger and disappointed and just calmly fix everything and let her out of the play pan, then we play and just hang out. Then I put her back in the play pan and gave her her kong (filled with treats and some of those PB mousse stuff) and seems she like it this time and did not pay too much attention to me when I was leaving...probaby she did cry after she is done with the kong... anyway...
What did I find when I came home???????????? I was greeted by a naughty doggie! She was supposed to be inside of her play pan!!! (The play pan is set against the wall... 3 sides of fence and the wall) She was digging the plastic and it got all crunched up (the pan is on the plastic), that's how it moved the pan and she escaped! Not only was I mad I was worried what if something happened? Instead of yelling at her I just calmly fixed the mess and feed her dinner. I think I am definitely getting better on my level of patience. Anyhoo, I found a new solution, instead of using those plastic drop cloth, I bought those chair mat for office chair, they are heavy duty, so I think this will work nicely. I really hope this will work...I am so exhausted. :P
