This is so weird. I've had Haley, my sweet little craigslist teapot girl for two years. The little girl that gave her to me said she slept in bed with her, but often had accidents and her father was angry...hence the ad on craigslist.
. Anyway she is just a sweetie. She has slept in bed with me for over two years now and is iron-clad reliably wee pad trained. So, along comes Pim....my second unexpected craigslist baby given to me in a Walmart parking lot by a woman and her two year old baby in a very desperate situation. Pim and Hay immediately greet without a grumble. Not one! They have both been in my lap together off and on since yesterday noon when Pim came home. I decided to try to crate Pim tonight because she kept me up most of last night and had a couple of piddle accidents. Now the weird part...I brought an old crate that I'd gotten at a nearby rescue home today and gave it a good bleaching. I put the crate in my room, facing my side of the bed. We went outside to do one last potty. I call Hay to come up to bed with me...it's time to play on the Ipad..Pim follows. Haley proceeds to go straight into the crate, and doesn't come out. Pim follows her in. So, I shut the door...shocked. Within thirty seconds they are both asleep! This is HALEY! The girl that can't stand to not be touching me! She's happily sleeping in a crate with a dog she met yesterday...and I've never even thought she would tolerate crating much less enjoy it!
I cannot believe this. There was obviously a space in both these little nomad lives when a crate meant love and security. It's just unbelievable.
