Duke's on Vacation

We have been having problems with Duke since we moved into the townhouse. EJ would take him out before he left and he would go #1 and 2. Then when I wake up I take him out again and he would go #1 and/or #2. Then while I would be getting ready he would do one or the other in the house. I would come home and take him out and not an hour after going outside, he would use the bathroom in the house again! We started tying him up outside while I was getting ready but he would still come in the house and use the bathroom. My parents offered to let him stay at their house until we moved out of the townhouse. We were afraid we wouldn't get our $500 pet deposit back if he kept on messing the house. We bought a trolley for him and put it up while we were there this weekend that way they can let him run around in the morning while they are getting ready. Dad said his first day went well, and I hope it will continue. Kala thinks she is queen bee now that Duke is gone. I am not sure how we will handle him at the new house because I sure don't want him messing our new house!!

Speaking of the new house, I am meeting with one of the designers from corporate today to discuss what we expected the front of the house to look like and see if we can come to an agreement on what they will do to fix it. The inside is drywalled and I can't wait to get in it and settle down!!
