When Pee Happens



We must not let cuteness take over our decision making process. We must punish the culprit with good firm, NO! And then a long lecture about the rising cost of paper towels, pine sol, hot water and manual labor.

Heh, so true, but good Lord that little fluffy precious ball of hair is cute as heck, it would be difficult to be stern, but then again, when he or she is older it wont be nearly so cute to watch him or her pee on the floor.

Pee manners are so important. When we were, and when I say we, I mean me, okay so when I was trying to potty train Moses, I thought I would go absolutely mad.

I bought those pads that were supposed to be scented with something to signal to him that it was THE place to pee, but apparently THE place to pee was also his place to wrap up and take a nap, and I'd step in the wet pee place right beside him on the carpet.

The man wanted to put him outside at night because that was when he'd slink around a poop a pile, but he was like three pounds at the time and with coyotes being so thick around here, I told the man that if anyone was sleeping outside it was gonna be him and not Moses.

Moses now only rarely goes in the house, and he chooses the bathroom to hose down, on the tile by the toilet, when he does, so I don't have to go looking for it.

I'm so glad you're back! xx

I would have to be blindfolded to maintain my resolve. what a cute face!

our girls are three now and still have the occasional accident *sigh*

it's usually my fault as I am perpetually distracted.

when we were babysitting our friends' oh so adorable Lucy, & she'd look up at me like this little cutie-pie in the picture, I said, oh go ahead and pee whereever you want, gorgeous!

BUT that's 'cause I knew I'd only have her for 3 days tops!

Permanent resident puppies got taken outside every 20 minutes until they Figured It Out! My children were potty-trained at gunpoint.

I'd be screwed.

I'd totally be allowing myself to be peed upon. Even inviting it, if this picture is at all accurate.

How can you not be wiping up such beautiful little accidents with silken towels?

Rain, you're killing me here. I need to FEEL those furzy ears, and snuggle that softness, and drown myself in wet puppy kisses. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????? Backstory, please!

i had a rottie some years ago - named boone - honestly, i had him trained to poo on command - it just kind of happened one snowy cold night when he was a pup sniffing around to find the perfect spot - i said 'hurry, go poo' - he promptly poo'ed - i praised him and loved him all the way home - from that moment on - he poo'ed whenever i said ' go poo '. he was a bear. i miss him -

That puppy is so cute. I too give my dog lectures. He looks at me all serious, and listens...like he really knows what I'm talking about.

Maybe he does.
