Tulip wants to go out, so I let her and then flop back onto my bed. When I stumble outside with her breakfast later, I find that the gate to the yard had swung closed during the storm in the night so she&#8217;s been trapped on the deck for 45 minutes. Puddle of pee. Aaaaaaaaand pile of crap. On the deck.<\/p>\n<p>Not her fault.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I take Tulip into the yard and make sure she pees out there, then I head inside to get her breakfast.

He&#8217;s probably a bichon fris\u00e9.
