well I won’t complain about our “26, feels like 13 with windchill” temp then : ) BUT I do have a puppy, which means I have to stand around waiting for him to do biz in it. He can’t be trained to the electric fence until he’s 6 mo. and he’s NOT doing well with the housetraining, so I have to actually SEE him produce something outside, and can’t take his word for it. Monday he starts puppy kindergarten. He is completely continent, can stay for 9-10 hours in the laundry room without accidents, but when he is in the kitchen/fam room with us, he will pee at will and poop too if i’m not constantly observing him to pluck him up and out when he starts sniffing. Julius is a saint— he was a cinch with housetraining, and he is the ideal big brother bc he lets this little @$$pain just abuse him mercilessly when they play. but I do recall him being a difficult puppy such that I had someone coming to the house to train him as soon as I could, rather than waiting for puppy K. Jules had private lessons until we got him into the puppy bootcamp at Old Towne School for Dogs. We have never had two boy dogs at the same time before, but they carry on like two teenaged boys and are very loud.
That whole post made me laugh
