Our dog Wrigley has begun an obsession with a wall outlet in the baby’s room.  This obsession 1st started along with the room’s remodel; in preparation for our new little bundle.  This all began when an animal, I think it’s a raccoon, moved in under our tub.  The dogs began hearing the animal move around and rubbing against the porcelain.  This made them loose it.  I mean loose it.

Wrigley HATES the bathroom, because that’s where baths happen, right?  She refuses to go in the bathroom if one of us is in there.  She will walk all the way around the house just to avoid passing by the bathroom door.  Since the discovery of the animal the dogs are constantly running in there to listen to the noises and sniff the tub.

Wrigley is now so invested in this mystery that she will walk into the bathroom while one of us is in there, but you have to be sitting on the toilet.  She knows I’m not gonna grab her in mid pee.

The reason she has now moved into the baby’s room, or her room….she seems to think, is that the outlet shares the same wall as the bathtub and she thinks she can smell the animal through the outlet.   She can also hear this mystery animal from the baby’s room so she has taken up residence right in front of this outlet.  This child will not move for hours…seriously.  When I’m in there  painting, she’s in there staring at the wall.  This new hobby she has taken up sounds about as fun as watching grass grow!

We’ve noticed that she doesn’t like anyone to get near the outlet.  As a matter of fact, I have to lock her out of the room if I plan to paint anywhere near the outlet.  We discovered that if you try to get near the outlet without her permission she will shove you out of the way.   I guess this is her protective instinct.  Who knows.  Derek decided to demonstrate Wrigley’s guard she keeps over this stupid outlet.

Listen for her breathing around :15 seconds.
