The piddler...

Dog Log: Day Two

Well, I wasn't prepared for such a Happy Dog... the Happy Dog in question seems to like me so much he pees. Not a huge puddle but little squirts.

Unfortunately, the older male dog in the house took offense to this action and before I knew it... he was "marking" the puppy miscues. No offense here but right about that time I was ready to send both of the into the garage for the remainder of spring break. (And yes, I'm kidding)

So most of the day I've been crawling around on my hands and knees looking for (and yuk! sniffing for!) some of the 1st little piddles I missed. Yay.

On second thought, I can't help but wonder if this isn't just a reaction. I think his piddling is something he's never done before. But rather the poor baby's way of feeling the stress of being without his family, being in a strange house and being with me, a stranger.

So in the meanwhile I think I've got most of the damage under control, I'm giving him lots of affection and trying to relieve his anxiety. It must be very stressful for him. So the best I can do is keep him as calm as possible and watch him like a hawk!

I'll let you soon how it's going!
