In order to truly acclimate O'Riley to feeling safe in an enclosed area I have decided the basement is just not feasible............he needs a minimum of 15 visits per day as training and I just am NOT going to be able to manage climbing stairs that often...........
Because he has responded so well to the meds that Dr A has prescribed I feel he can be placed in a guest room with a gate at the doorway.......I will empty out a walk in closet so that he has a nice 'den' atmosphere with bedding and yummy kongs to keep him busy.........Dr A had been concerned about my having to go up and down the stairs that often but I just didn't feel I had a choice ( that was PRE new meds !!)
So that is our mission this week..........lots of fun in Ye Olde Gueste Roome :)

Sounds like a plan! Guest room or downstairs, he's still "away from you." And the closet being his hidey hole? Perfect. :-)
What a great idea, Beebs...I know that my guys do NOT like being placed in a room that is too far away from their normal hang out areas. I'm sure Ye Olde Guest Roome will be much more comfortable for His Holy O'Rileyness :)
CB survived my 2 week absence and we lucked out with no real storms except for the day before I got home. He scratched up my wooden dresser pretty badly and almost knocked the webcam computer off said dresser. Glad there weren't any other storms while I was gone-would have been an ugly outcome I think!
Thank goodness I'm home :)
Can't wait to see some pictures of the new OR den...what a lucky boy to have such a great mom :) And am so happy to hear that the meds are working well! Way to go!
Thanks, Nell and Sue !
Sue, I checked the weather in Nederland, Colorado while you were gone and was so happy to see a huge high pressure system dominating ! ( I swear, in my next life I'm going to be a weather lady :) )
Whenever I checked in on Count Basie he seemed to be calm and surrounded by (once) treat-filled kongs !! ( Surprise, surprise !!)
