Life with a puppy is never dull. The puppy arrived in mid-December and the house has not been the same since. Besides the endless playing, constant activity and multiple feedings, there is the potty training. The two older dogs are pad trained. So, why not train the two puppies to be pad trained too? Well, the pups have good days and bad days. Early on it was about 50-50 that the pups would use the pads. More recently the pups have been about 75-25. It seems that one pup has a good day and one pup doesn't. There is no consistency or predictability. Then one morning this week I noticed an odd occurrence......clearly this pup doesn't know what to do with the pad. Is it a couch? Is it a table? but, low and behold, when it really counted the pad was used as a pad! However, the other pup decided that the pad was no longer a pad and sought a new place to put the poop. Ug! Will they every get it?
Join me in reflecting and reminiscing about cycling (motorcycle and bicycle), traveling, bird watching, sports and all other adventures in this ordinary life.
