Poop

We’ve been having a couple incidents of the puppies pooping in the house minutes after they came in from outside.

Now granted, the weather in Wisconsin right now sucks…rainy, cold, and windy these last few days of October.  I wouldn’t want to poop outside either…

I got a text from my wife when I was at work that she got pooped on by Lizzie.  I thought it was hilarious, and started to picture how that could’ve happened….

Was she asleep with the puppy on her stomach, and then she pooped on her?

Or maybe she was reading her book and the puppy pooped on her foot?

Oh the potential for different scenarios is endless and amused me on my 45 minute drive home from work that day.

But here’s what happened…the dog wandered over to the neighbors and started pooping…Kelly ran over and picked her and Charlie up at the same time, and when she put them down in our yard she had poop on herself and on Charlie. 

I’ve had some success picking up Lizzie and putting her down then pushing her face down so that she can smell the ground…this seems to (10% of the time) initiate some ground sniffing and pooping instinct.   The other 90% of the time she runs back to the front door where its slightly sheltered from the rain.

Ahh the joys of puppy ownership…I wonder how long pooping and peeing in the house will be something we have to be ever vigilant about.
