little laundry helper

We have this little rule in our house that dogs aren't allowed upstairs....for right now anyways.

Phinley does stay in our upstairs master bathroom during the day when I sub, but other than that his cute little paws don't hit the nice clean carpet.

Ryan and I just thought Phinley didn't need to mosey around upstairs when he has the whole basement & kitchen area {he doesn't mosey around the upstairs living room either}. We both just want to teach him a little about what he's allowed to do in the areas we have set aside for him, before giving him free reign of the whole house!

But sometimes, I just need to go upstairs to do something and I don't necessarily want to put him in his crate -- this happened the other day.

I had to put some clothes into the dryer, which would only take a minute, but I couldn't trust Phin to wonder around without my direct supervision {on our very clean, never been peed on upstairs carpet} so I had to put him in an extra laundry bin.

I gave him specific instructions not to jump out, or move abruptly! haha

He listened like a champ and just hung out until I was done :0)

He's probably trying to decide if he can fit on that little piece of washer showing.


After I pulled him out I wanted to get his "after" expression. I was happy with the solution I came up with, he was rather upset and didn't even glance at the camera.

The next day I wanted to load some pictures on the computer in the office so Phinley had to sit on my lap the whole time! He liked this much better :0)

Hope you have a great weekend!
