I've always wanted a huge backyard until now. Since Lucy has joined our family, for the first the time in my life I wish our yard was 3 feet by 4 feet. I'm hoping Lucy gets over being afraid of everything but right now, I have to stand outside with her or she will not take care of her outside "business". I must just stand there, do not talk to her or walk around as this distracts her. Randy nor Caleb can go out with her because she panics so it is up to me.
I especially longed for a small yard this morning. At 7:00 this morning, standing on the patio in my bathrobe and slippers, coffee cup in hand, I waited for Lucy to find just the "right spot" to do her morning business. Did I mention it's also raining and cold? Lucy at first wouldn't even get off the patio. She finally made her way move across the grass and the search began for just the right spot. She sniffed every inch of our backyard and circled back around.
25 minutes later, her mission was accomplished! How do I know I waited for 25 minutes? Because I had put a cake in the oven, set the timer for 25 minutes and then took Lucy out. The timer went off while I was outside waiting in the cold and rain. The cake cooked too long.
A small yard would be nice.
