Breaking houserules...

Well, one of the first houserules has just been slain!!

Do you know the rules? Well, then you should, because it seems like we have tread on the slippery slope...

The Schnauzer House Rules

•   The Schnauzer is not allowed in the house.
•   Okay, the Schnauzer is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.
•   The Schnauzer is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture.
•   The Schnauzer can get on the old furniture only.
•   Fine, the Schnauzer is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the humans in the bed.
•   Okay, the Schnauzer is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.
•   The Schnauzer can sleep on the bed when ever he wants, but not under the covers.

You want me to do what?

So, we have some rules too. No doggies in the bedroom or in the study. For some obvious reasons, the study is off limits due to the heavy traffic and a roaming office chair. I don't want any canine feeties to get crushed under those pestky little wheels!!

Ok, I'll do as I'm told.

However, come one of the coldest and wettest days in winter in Cape Town, there is only two rooms with some warmth. The main bedroom and the study. Poor Truffles has been pining to get into a room with people in it and of course warmth.
So, I had to bend a rule. Ok, the Schnauzer is allowed in the study, only by invitation and on its allocated spot - he may or may not be constrained by a warm blankie when in there. :)

I can get used to this!!

It was really funny exercise. Truffles walked in and had to be coaxed into getting on the blanket, however, he only wanted to get on with his front paws. We tried to entice him with his blue ball, but he would reach right over the blanket, with his hind legs stretching out behind him. Eventually we had to physically move him onto the blanket so that he knows it is ok. Once we covered him, he submitted and as they say, the rest, is history...




If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, keep warm and dry.
Untill next time : Love your doggies!!
