Appreciate the Effort

ok, this is a 1/2 full, 1/2 empty kinda thing....

yesterday we had sumo home all day in his pen while we were at work (vs. days we get home from work early, etc.). he did really well*.

(*we dont leave pee pads in the pen anymore because they end up as highly abosrbant confetti by the time we get home, and become a sloppy mess if he did happen to use them (either before or after they were shredded)

  • i get home, he hasnt peed all over the pen (GOOD THING)
  • he sits at the door patiently after being reminded that we "sit" before we can get out of the pen (GOOD THING)
  • i open the back door, to prep to get him outside as quickly as possible (GOOD THING)
  • i let him out, he immedately slips out of my grip, bolts for chibi's pen, and is soo excited when he gets close, he leaves a stream of pee all along the floor in a trail (NOT GOOD THING)
  • i pick him up, step around/over the pee trail, get him outside, where he finishes peeing (GOOD THING)

all in all, a good thing he held it, held as much as he could after getting too exicted and starting to pee...just need to work on, turn RIGHT when you exit the pen towards the door, vs. turn LEFT towards chibi :-)
