we did have her in the kitchen at night in her crate, so i moved her into our bedroom right beside my bed and we set the alarm clock for every 4 hours to let her out at night. we have to create a bird a week in any media we want. it can rest for up to 12 hours without getting too soft, so complete this step and pause here if you want to prepare the salad ahead of time. unfortunately though unless i am carried i am unable to move up or down stairs by myself.
