How Fast Things Change


Can you believe that I have been at the PugRanch 
almost 5 weeks!!!!

I have grown just a little

Look !

On the left is one of my first pictures at the Ranch


the picture on the right is exactly 4 weeks later !!!!

I am not the only thing that has changed some

I think I showed you my safe pen area
(mom thought I was too little to start right out in the crate when they are not home)


My crate was in there 
along with some pee pads and room to play

All was good - 
I slept in my crate, played with my toys 
and used the pee pads when I needed to go potty

Then one day last week Dad came home to this


I decided to play with my pee pads 
and
 pooped on the floor!

Ooops ! Big Mistake!

Mom & Dad decided it was time 
for the safe pen and pee pads to go. 

They made some changes over the weekend 


and on Saturday
 I went in my crate when they left for a couple of hours
I handled it OK -  So now -  
when Mom leaves for work I go in my crate with my toys. 
 When Dad comes home for lunch 
he lets us all outside for a potty break and play time,
then I go back in my crate till Dad gets home from work. 
(Dad leaves before mom and gets home before mom)

And I am proud to report I have not messed in my crate!

but I do a beeline out the door 
when Dad lets me out to go potty!

We are the PugRanch Kids
Bailey, Hazel & Mabel

  2. You are so cute Fry is growing so fast too. Fry stays in a pen while we are at work with pee pads because we commute and cant come home for lunch break he is doing great and has always used pee pads in his pen. Its 6 hours so we don't expect him to hold it that long though are grown up dogs can. When we are home he has been very good about not peeing inside waiting untl we let him out you guys are smart puppies

  9. Oh Mabel, I remember when I was your age and the same thing happened with me. Ma came home one day at lunch and I had torn up the pee pad and had thrown my water dish all about the area. From then on out, it was my crate and crate only. But with the crate, you learn fast...and you are learning SUPER fast...so you should be very proud of yourself!

  14. You are such a cutie. I bet Bailey told you to tear up your pee pads and poop on da floor. You can blame him. Dat's one of da advantages of having a big brother.

  39. Mabel you just had to go ~ we all know the feeling, when natural calls it is a hard thing to wait till the peeps get home. Yep sometimes my eyes are bulging out and my legs are crossed and my tail is down tight waiting for the door to the outside to open. You is a good girl Mabel.
    Thanks for being a friend

  41. Hi Mabel - I'm really impressed by your head-tilt ability at such an early age. Keep that up and you'll be scoring treats any time you like. :)

    Glad to hear your new arrangement is working out well. Your bed looks really comfortable - and your crate looks so cozy with all your soft toys in there.

    -Love,
    Sid.
