I may have to try the crate, but Bella has not really been in it for several months. She sleeps in a bed. She was last in the crate when she hurt her leg and the doc had her on bed rest for 2 weeks. she doesnt see the crate as a fun thing to do.
I think I will have all the food totally prepared by the time they get here except the Chicken, which my husband will grill.
That way I will be able to keep her in my lap most of the time.
I am getting more and more nervous.
I also have to take Bella on a long long walk so she will be calmer.
She has played so hard today anyway and I have not let her nap.
She is the center of attention every day. She is used to being with us on the couch or next to me while i am on the computer.
To put her in another room will be torture for her. We have an open floor plan and every bed room is right off the main family room! She would hear us and cry constantly which I could not take either!!!
She cant even stand it when she wakes up first...she wants to get in our room in the mornings.
Looks like I have my work cut out for me today.
My house is done! Guess I better get started on the menu!
I still have to wash and walk Bella... and get ready myself
I can do this!!
thanks to all of you for your ideas!!!
