:woman-facepalming: So I stayed up to keep on schedule. Come to bed 'early' around 0430. Jewel, the puppy, who has had a bath and a treat and then some quiet time in the kennel came with me to the bedroom, where she has a bed.
More dozing.
Around 0600, she heard noises and started burffing. Knowing it was one or both Things, I let her out. I was JUST back in bed when it sounded like she was being tortured, eaten, flayed alive. Not panicking (because I'm a mom), I got up and went out to the living room to find Thing1 standing there with his hands over his ears and the puppy trying to wedge herself under a bookshelf. She does not fit.
Near as I can tell, she went out there rather sleepy, Thing 1 is silhouetted in the darkness, waved both hands in the air to say hello, and She. Wigged. Out. At. The. Monster.
Little fear-pee puddles led a trail to the bookshelf.
We got everything cleaned up and she was very apologetic about it all. But I am up now. Will nap in the afternoon.
