Exhausted

We didn't get a lot of sleep last night.  Tibby was restless most of the night.  I took her out to potty at 4:30.  She slept a little after that, but we had to get up in an hour and I couldn't fall back asleep after going out in the cold.  So very tired.

Tibby was playing with my socks this morning.

This is Tibby's dungeon of doom.  Yeaaah crating did NOT go very well. 

 First of all we got lost on our way to the seminar - stupid 35W turning into 94.  So we were late, BUT the seminar started late, so it wasn't that big a deal.  Tibby barked from 8am to 10am.  Straight.  Without stopping.  I could hear her from the seminar room and I checked her a couple times and yep it was Tibby barking.  She was really stressed, so I took her into the seminar room - even thought that wasn't allowed, unless she was crated.  I tried crating her in the seminar room, but she barked there too.  So my 3rd option was to crate her in the car.  That worked a lot better.  She actually slept. 

The whole crate thing stressed me out too. 

I'll write a post about the seminar after I see the video from it.   I'm tired and I want to think about it.

See, this is how tired we are.

Tibby mugging my Mom for popcorn.

Cute right?

Awww, I love her feeties.

First Hotel Stay!

Tibby was very, very nervous when we first got to the hotel.  It lasted for about an hour.  Pacing and panting.

We are on the 8th floor and I think seeing the cars and people out of the patio door started it.

Or maybe hearing doors opening and stuff in the hallway.

Overall it's an extremely quiet hotel.  Which is nice!

I just let her relax.  Or decide when she wanted to relax.

She doesn't look too stressed now LOL!!

They have all the dogs on the same floor.  I saw a grey mini poodle across the hall and there was also a big yellow dog when we were getting off the elevator.  Tibby is still not too sure about the elevator.  It's a very fast elevator and made me dizzy the first time too.

  I started carrying her into and out of the elevator - which helped - now she can go into it and be calm.  We just came in from a potty break and she went into the elevator and sat down in the corner.  Even dogs face the door in an elevator!   

One more thing she had to get used to - wheel suitcases!  Why didn't I think of practicing that!  Everyone has one and Tibby was not too sure of them at first.  Now she's fine.  She just can't understand why there are SO many people every where.  And why they all want to say hi to her - "Oooo, look a cute puppy!"

We're ignoring them until Tibby feels confident enough to say hi back.
