Free Range Pug

Since I have been a puppy, the People have had to "lock me up" when they leave the house. They tried to let me roam the house once when I was younger, and I peed on the couch, thereby proving myself to be untrustworthy. When I was a puppy, I had to be locked up any time I was separated from the People, even if it was while they showered or ran to the car, because again, I peed on the couch when left to my own devices. When we lived in apartments in Mobile and Asheville, I was corralled in the kitchen with a baby gate. In the house we live in now, I get corralled in the hallway with a baby gate, but I also have access to the spare room. This room has a window, which is nice. In the other situations, I never had my own window, so these are luxury accommodations to me.

The People recently decided to test my seven-year-old trustability since they have not tested me in a good long while. I'm a pretty smart Pug, and I know not to pee on things, but I'm not all that trustworthy, as I have a pretty deep evil streak. Woman is happy to report that she has allowed me to roam the house on two separate occasions for no less than two hours each time, and I did not pee on anything! So now I am a free range Pug! Woo-hoo! It only took 7 years to house train me. I'm advanced you know.
