What a great way to spend the morning...sleeping in until almost l0:30 a.m. The girls and I had just gotten up and they had gone outside to potty. We came in still dressed in our gowns and the doorbell rang. It was the postman with a big box. Alyssa and Emmy could hardly wait to see who the box was for. We read the label and determined that it was from Oregon and it was for Alyssa. Both girls were excited. We quickly got out of our gowns and got dressed. Alyssa could hardly wait to see what Roxy had sent her.
You have to know Alyssa to understand her behavior. She knew that was her box and that everything was hers. She wanted to open it herself but she couldn't. She had to have mommy to help her. She did not want me to touch anything...including the tissue paper. She would just stand guard on the box. I kept trying to pull out different things and she would grab it. When I pulled out the Chicken Tops Treats she acted like she had never had a treat before. She grabbed the package and went to the stairs where she opened it and growled and barked at anyone who came near. Those treats were hers and she was having them all. Three were not enough for her to share. Finally I got one away and gave it to Emmy. She ran in her crate with it where she was safe. Alyssa continued to eat the treats. She was more interested in those treats than unpacking the box at that point. So we just let her enjoy her two treats and then we continued to unpack the box.
