My silly girls

Stacy on Behavior - Sat, August 09 2008

Today I moved the girls crates from the basement up to the spare bedroom. Their crates were in the big laundry area downstairs that has a painted, concrete floor. This room is pretty big and would be perfect for (you guessed it) fosters. The bathroom I had the other kittens in was big enough for them to play in, but having the crate in there really took up most of the space. It was pretty cramped.

Anyway, I get the girls' crates all set up and grab squirt cheese and treats. I know I need to retrain them to go to the bedroom and not down the stairs when I say Crate. I call them in the room and say Crate. They both stare at me like, I'm not getting in there!! Silly dogs, they're the same crates they've been in for the last year! I have them going in them now by throwing the treats in, and they'll even go in when I say crate but I haven't closed the door yet. One step at a time! Big Sillies!! :)

Ha Ha! I can imagine my Beverly looking up at you thinking What? You want me to go into there? I think it's cool that Beverly and Minnie have their own bedroom. They can decorate their walls with pictures of me and Charlie.

They're actually doing REALLY well now. I've just been saying Crate periodically throughout the morning. I have them going in there now and have actually shut the door. They seem to be adjusting pretty well.

Hey..I got this great poster of a squirrel that can go on the wall. Mom can find some great doggy material for the curtains.

Bev and Minnie, you girls are so lucky to have your own room. Have fun decorating it!

I'd love to come over and help you decorate! If I had my own room it would be all pink with my name on the wall with sparklie diamonds. I'd also have a canopy bed.

We have our own room. It has a futon in it just for us.

Maybe you could come over and tell mom to clear her stuff out of our room! She has her scrapbooking stuff and yard sale stuff in there. I think the room should be totally dedicated to us, and we should get a futon like Madeleine. Better yet, we want a canopy bed with treats hanging from the canopy, so we can just reach our snouts up and eat them!! We can put Godzilla and Charlie pictures up all over our room. That would be so cool!!
