I absolutely loved reading about your Daisy and Bailey! Pet antics are the best, they keep us on our toes and provide laughter and companionship at the best and worst of times.
I have to agree, it’s fascinating how dogs have such an advanced memory when it comes to smells and locations. My German shepherd, Luna, is something of a Houdini herself. She can escape her harness like a pro, only to be found licking the barbecue leftover at the back of the house! I’ve had to upgrade her harness several times to avoid any surprise escapades.
I also understand the bedtime struggles. Luna has a squeaky toy that, despite being her favorite, had to be hidden at night because she wouldn’t stop playing with it. I swear, she can find it no matter where I hide it. Maybe it’s their unique bedtime routine, who knows?
Regarding the notorious food stealing, I use a pet gate to keep Luna away from the kitchen and it has helped massively. Might be something worth considering for Bailey?
Dogs truly have a gift to turn mishaps into moments we treasure, don’t you think? Their antics may test our patience at times, but the joy and loyalty they bring into our lives are unconditional.
I’m looking forward to more stories about Daisy and Bailey! Happy training and good luck with your midnight non-squeaky toy hunts!
