Needless to say &#8211; Jared ended up on his hands and knees scrubbing down the tray before he went to work &#8211; since I had to work at 7 that morning. Coming home at lunch &#8211; I found the same scene &#8211; only worse. He had thrown his mess everywhere &#8211; in all the little crevices of the crate &#8211; I cried and cried &#8211; calling Jared and unloading &#8211; which I tend to do. Once Jared got home he took the crate to the car wash with his dad &#8211; it was the only way to get it clean!<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday afternoon I was home with him all afternoon &#8211; so we didn&#8217;t have another incident &#8211; until Wednesday morning when Jared&#8217;s mom came over to check oh him and found the same mess. I cam home at lunch &#8211; changed into different clothes &#8211; started the scrubbing &#8211; tried to use snow to help &#8211; crying the entire time &#8211; giving myself quite the headache. Jared&#8217;s mom was over &#8211; the poor woman &#8211; not knowing how to deal with me and my bundle of anger and crying and sobbing.<\/p>\n<p>(I tend to lean more toward the dramatic if you haven&#8217;t noticed).<\/p>\n<p>We are going to get a smaller crate &#8211; since that is what everyone recommends &#8211; and try that &#8211; I think that he is just mad that we are leaving him alone!<\/p>\n<p>Today when I came home for lunch &#8211; he was fine &#8211; when I got home from work tonight &#8211; he was fine. I put a bowl with some ice in his crate &#8211; hoping that is what helps. I feel bad for the little guy &#8211; being all alone after being with his brothers and sisters for so long!<\/p>\n<p>He is sleeping on out bedroom on his dog bed on the floor &#8211; and it&#8217;s working out GREAT &#8211; there are a few times a night we have to wake up and tell him no and take him out &#8211; but we would much rather that option than waking up to a mess!<\/p>\n<p>I am trying to control my emotions better &#8211; I never thought I had much of a temper &#8211; but I am finding this out the hard way &#8211; along with Jared &#8211; bless his heart!<\/p>\n<p>It is amazing to me that when I am being a jerk and cannot stand myself &#8211; Jared still loves me &#8211; even though he might not be happy with me at the moment &#8211; he still loves me and makes me want to be a better person!<\/p>\n<p>That being said &#8211; here are the updated pictures of Schrute &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3314\" title=\"rutie1\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie1.jpg\" alt=\"rutie1\" width=\"550\" height=\"364\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3315\" title=\"rutie2\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie2.jpg\" alt=\"rutie2\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3316\" title=\"rutie3\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie3.jpg\" alt=\"rutie3\" width=\"550\" height=\"365\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3317\" title=\"rutie4\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie4.jpg\" alt=\"rutie4\" width=\"550\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3318\" title=\"rutie5\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie5.jpg\" alt=\"rutie5\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3319\" title=\"rutie6\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie6.jpg\" alt=\"rutie6\" width=\"550\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3320\" title=\"rutie7\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie7.jpg\" alt=\"rutie7\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3321\" title=\"rutie8\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie8.jpg\" alt=\"rutie8\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3322\" title=\"rutie9\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rutie9.jpg\" alt=\"rutie9\" width=\"550\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other than the messy episodes &#8211; he is a PERFECT puppy! We have given him 3 baths since Monday due to his little tantrums! He isn&#8217;t too fond of the baths but he does well enough! That little spot on his nose is a cut from trying to get out of his crate during his mess on Monday! We love him dearly and I know his grandparents love him just as much! Jared and I weighed him unofficially and he is about 18 lbs. We have another vet appt.
