2nd week with Polka and SO conveniently has to go on a business trip for a week !
This is how my day(s) goes :
2 -2.30am - Take Polka out for pee. Put her back in the play pen after a lot of struggle.
6am - Take Polka out for pee and poo. Clean up after her. Try putting her back in the play pen so I can go back to sleep.
6.30am - Give up on putting the little brat in the play pen. Decide to sleep on the sofa instead.
10.00 - Wake up, brush and get some breakfast while Polka continues to follow me around. Awww that's cute :)
10.30am - Notice the kitchen rug is missing. Grab it back from Polka and hide it.
11.00 am - Time for Polka's lunch. Mix her dog food with some grated carrot. Gourmet food :) the spoilt kid decides to sit on the floor and wants to be fed. Feed her one piece at a time. Patience !
11.30am - Time for poo again. This time Polka skillfully avoids the paper. Pick up poo and clean up once more. Pour water in the patio.
11.45am - Polka wants to play. Play ball. She is a natural retriever so I can sit on my a** while she fetches.
12.30 pm - Make some lunch.
1 pm - Eat lunch
1.30 pm to 3pm - Sleep on the sofa fitfully. Ensure Polka has not brought the house down.
3 pm - Get up and cuddle Polka to discover she has fleas.
3pm to 4pm - Frantically search on Internet on how to get rid of fleas from puppies. Very scary, confusing information !!! (Ex - Burn the house down to get rid of fleas from the entire house)
4pm - Use tweezers to remove fleas till Polka gets annoyed and starts biting.
4.45 pm - Sweep and mop the house as an attempt to get rid of the source of fleas.
6pm - Take a shower at last !
6.15pm - Time for Polka's meal. Give her just the basic puppy food. No time to grate carrots. Polka eats halfway and gets distracted. Add yogurt and she gulps it down.
7pm - Polka wants to play. Throw some toys for her to retrieve while watching TV.
8pm - Realize Polka has peed inside the house. Clean up for the nth time .. Arghhh. Note to self - do not sweep/mop unless under excruciating circumstances. Clean with Clorox, then use pet deodorizer and then room freshener.
8.45 pm - Time for my dinner. Look for something in the frozen section. Microwave. Eat.
9.15pm - Polka wants to go out. False alarm. Nudge Polka back into the house 'Girl ur vaccination is not complete - u need to be inside'. Pull at the leash and get her in.
10pm - Call from SO - I miss Polka. Do you miss me ? Oh yeah. A LOT !!!
10pm -11.30pm - Watch an absurdly silly movie on TV while simultaneously keeping a watch on Polka.
11.30pm - Just remembered to remove Polka's water so she does not pee in the middle of the night again. Too late :(
12am - Take Polka out and force her to pee. aah succeeded ! Note to self - Look into pee trays and poo sucking machines..
12.30 am - sleep .. am counting Z..s
12.40am - Oops forgot to set up the alarm - maybe for 3am today.
12.45am - Zsss .. Poo, Pee, Fleas .. Zsss
I am dog tired !!!!!
