So Brando truly is a rebel without a cause. She seems to have taken one step back in almost everything:

Toilet Training
Still going ANYWHERE in the house. Thankfully it’s generally just peeing (apart from the other night when she wanted to show off both bodily functions in front of a new guest. Literally right in front of their feet when they were sitting on the sofa…needless to say they weren’t impressed).

Sleeping in Crate
She has been on the couch way too much and now will not sleep on anything less luxurious. Either that or she just wants to be close by (the crate is a mighty three meters away). Whatever the reason, it is leading to whining at night and the problem of having to shove her in the crate and close the door. As I type she is crying at my feet because I won’t let her on the sofa!

Going Outside
She doesn’t always go out now, even if she asks you to open the door. She likes to sit at the top of her ramp and survey her kingdom with pride. And who knew Staffies like neither rain nor cold!?

Eating
The aforementioned poo and rice issue has meant that she is constantly starving and forever looking into her food bowl. It doesn’t help that we have decided her treats may be a contributing factor to her dicky tummy, so have taken them out of the equation too!
