On final countdown to Bella fetching; currently at T minus 55 minutes.
I've finished Bella proofing. That is to say, I've left a load of stuff that got taken off shelves yesterday so that I could paint a wall* stacked on one of the sofas so that the little madam can't climb on it**.
Did I say Bella is a princess? She's a "Princess". A nervous Princess who is used to being able to take the high ground, quite literally, so she can bark and complain at anything and everything.
She's also used to having the run of my son's MiL's house (complete with sleeping in the same bed as her humans) which is why there's currently a piece of expanding trellis zip tied across the bottom of the stairs and a very LARGE cardboard box across the pinch point between the kitchen and dining room halves of my kitchen-diner.
You are a cruel, cruel woman, I hear you cry. But it's for her own good. Honest.
Just waiting for husband to come back from round the orner then ff to the pet shop to buy some dog food - she's coming with some, but I dont know how much - and some treats/toys for rewarding her with, later on.
*I have NOT redecorated for Bella. I started painting the walls when the piano moved out as the piano corner hadn't seen the light of day in forever, and am now working my way round the room.
** Seriously, this was an actual decision that I had to make this morning: leave the mess and have it annoy not just me but the husband and son as well, or leave it and not have to defend 2 sofas against her.
