Well, we've been on vacation and will be back home in a matter of hours. Macy and our two are at the doggie day care being well taken care of.  Before we left it was the mad dash to get ready....running to store......out for dinner (no food left in the house), last piano lesson, etc. I knew Macy would be just fine out of the crate for the few hours we would be gone and I was right. No problems at all.   Even though she LOVES people she is fine when they leave and doesn't get into mischief.  We are excited to see her soon!
