KING OLLIE HOUSE of BULLDOG
Well-known member
After being away for 5.5 weeks and sleeping with just husband and I in the bed, we decided that we made a big mistake by letting Ollie sleep with us. Heās 50lbs now and takes up a lot of space.
Sooooo feeling like 2 real meanies, we removed his steps the night before last. The first night, he stood at the side of the bed a few times and looked really pathetic, but I just very calmly and gently said, āNo Ollie. No more bed dog. Go lay down.ā He paced around for 45 mind or so, would lay down on the floor and eventually went into his crate and passed out until I woke him up at 7AM.
Last night, he only looked pathetically at me twice and then went out to the great room and slept until 8:30AM this morning when I let the other dogs out.
I feel sorry that Ollie has to go through this unlearning process, but he doesnāt seem very upset about it. Heās a really mellow guy and this sort of reinforces how calm and mellow he is. Mea Culpa. I think he forgives me.
