Where everything is
Ripley's things
Treats and extra poo bags are in the "Ripley Drawer" - under the microwave.
His dry food and tins of wet food are in the middle of the wall cupboards in the kitchen.
There are "distraction" things in the far left wall cupboard in the kitchen.His bones are in the freezer. His cheesy bits and cream cheese are in the fridge.
His lead is by the front door, in the wicker chest.
This wicker chest is also where his "going for a walk" bag is, his car-safety-harness, extra poo bags, and his long lead.
There are Ripley-towels in three places. There are some big ones in the laundry room, on the window sill. There are little ones in the antique trunk in the kitchen, and there is a paw-wiping towel in the wicker basket by the front door.
More information about Ripley
House training
He is house-trained. He knows to jump up and scratch at the back door if he wants to go out.
The pool
We are now confident that he doesn't like the pool, and won't jump in.
Hector and Echo and Ripley
He is still a bit of a nightmare with the cats - he loves them and chases them and tries to make them be his best friends.
Please keep the TV room glass door cracked open a little - this is their escape route to the cat-flap, which is sort of round by the back of the TV.
Leaving Ripley
We can now leave him for four hours at a time.
Where he is allowed
Everywhere. We've given up on rules.
Taking him in the car
He is fine with this! He likes a trip out. He whines when you go slowly, and he likes going faster. His little harness thingy for sitting in the car is in the wicker basket by the front door.
