We have a galley-style kitchen and that has become what we call "doggie jail". We have a baby gate across it and Lucy stays there during the day while we are gone. The most she is alone has increased to about six or seven hours and she is fine. She has her bed and water - all she does is sleep all day, anyway.
Last Wednesday I came home to find the gate locked and her upstairs in our bed! I guess Mom and Dad's bed is more comfy than her own bed.
She spent a few nights at my folks when I went to Minneapolis this weekend, so I sort of forgot about it. Today I went back to work and left her in doggie jail at around nine this morning.
I got home around 4:30 and I couldn't find her. I was calling her name and then found her up at the top of the stairs, stretching and yawning. It was like she was saying "um, hai Mom, your bed was bigger and nicer than mine"
I guess I'll just leave her loose in the house now. She is reliable in that she doesn't "go" in the house. If she escapes from the kitchen she won't have any water. Sheesh, my dog has out-smarted me.

Well...there is always the old doggie stand-by...the toilet. Yum, yum...clean water.
However, with her top-heavy head, she might fall in. You may want to leave a shallow dish upstairs.
L, B
She can't even reach the toilet! I just leave her loose in the house and she's fine. She just sleeps on the couch all day, anyway.
Haha I love it! Silly beast! Did she jump over the gate?
Yeah, she totally jumped over the gate. Beast!
