Oops.

Hmmmm ... we have a new puzzle to work out with Mojo.

Overnight, we heard him walking in and out of our bedroom several times, which as you know is a HUGE new thing and one we were getting a real kick out of.

What we didn't realize, is that he had to go.  And then I remembered his foster mom Robyn's sage wisdom that when he needs to go out he paces.  Oops.

We did the get-dressed-scramble, but our noses told us that we hadn't figured it out quickly enough.

It happens.

But it also was repeated today while we were at work, so we are going to have to figure this out.  On the one hand, we're thrilled that he's more comfortable venturing out of the kitchen ... but of course not so thrilled if he figures it's a good place to boldly go where he's never gone before. 

So, we're going to adjust feeding time and make sure we've gotten him out enough (we still have to keep him on leash because we're concerned he won't come in when called and it's an awfully big yard to be chasing a dog around!).

We'll just have to see how it goes.  No pun intended.  OK, yes it was.

I guess we need to get more fluent in Mojo!

... and it's probably time to ratchet up the rug cleaner and odor remover inventory.

  2. Thanks, Debbie! I'm betting that as a foster mom, you've had your share of clean-ups to deal with. I appreciate the lead.
