Sweetie Follows S.O.P.
Procedure: "Garage Egress"
Purpose: To provide for an orderly transition from garage confinement to finished basement enthronement.
Applies to: Dirty dogs.

Step 1:
Proceed to door, "sit", and wait for next command.
Step 2:
Upon hearing the "Sweetie come." command, proceed to throw rug just inside the door, "sit" (again), and wait for master to check for dirty feet.
Step 3:
Proceed to throne, lie down, and prepare to be kissed.
Master's note:
Schweemie is doing fine, and goes in for her two week check-up on Tuesday.
After about a week, she was feeling better and ready for confinement to end.
Now, after about two of six weeks of confinement, she is accepting it better. I can take her outside to do her business or just sit and she does not try to take off like a maniac.
We are lucky because she loves to hang out in the basement.
And how do I reward such a good girl?
Poor Sweemie!
I let her sit outside while tied to a 15 pound weight.
