Mindy's brother

Day 55 - Mindy had a quiet restful night. She let us sleep until 6:30am before she started whining to go out.

Mindy's not the only dog in our household. Schuyler is our 2-year old neutered dachshund who has almost 10 months worth of household seniority over Mindy. They are best buds (usually) and up until 3 weeks ago they shared the same pen. Now Schuyler stays in a separate crate which is just to the right of the pen shown in the Mindy Cam. If Schuyler's not in his crate when Mindy is in the big pen, she whines and barks until her buddy is nearby. He is a very calming presence to her.

By the way... we don't keep our dogs penned all the time. We enjoy having them participate in our household lives as much as possible. However, as Mindy's due date approaches, she'll be resting in her pen more than normal and Schuyler will be in his crate nearby to keep her calm. If the Mindy Cam is on but she's not onscreen, she and Schuyler are either out for a walk or spending some quality time with us.
