Since Lulu is still peeing inside (she poos outside though, thank God… but I have to pick it up immediately or else she snatches it up and eats it… yum!), we’re crate training her to save it for outdoors.



When I put her in her cage, she settles down immediately, laying down and relaxing. As long as I’m in the room, she doesn’t mind being in there. But as soon as I leave, she bounces up and starts barking and whining her head off.



Today, my friends came over to treat me to a movie, so I had to leave her in her cage for about four hours. As I left, I made sure the latch was on tight.



When I got home, Riley came running to the door to greet me and then I heard a second set of feet running down the stairs. And there she was…Lulu…bounding down the hallway right at me.

Curiously, I walked upstairs to where her cage was, and there it was -- door wide open!



How the hell she got out of the cage, I guess I’ll never know. But this dog scares me how smart she is.

Oh, and there was a puddle of pee on the floor, waiting for me…

Perhaps, I should’ve named her Harriet Houdini.
