hello friends, wally here. big drama at the kanigan house. first, a disclaimer, dad got scolded by mom and Eric about my posts being overweight on bowel & bladder movements, & that led to sharp criticism that dad is a poor puppy trainer. well, now, you should have seen the volcano eruption after that, this really set dad off, like i mean way OFF. dad, he who takes criticism so well, launched a volley of (as he likes to call them) factual retorts. “oh, here comes the feedback from mother & son, those with no blogs of their own, no guest posts, zero, like almost near zero contribution to wally’s posts, or wally’s training for posts, or any contribution to wally’s intellectual growth, all of this load entirely being carried by dad, more stress and anxiety added to an overwhelming load that dad has to carry. mom and eric turned silent after this cavalcade of munitions, which dad took as facts winning out again. back to the story. and yes, it’s about bladder movements. brother sully, 4 years old now, fully potty trained, emptied his bladder, not 1x but 2x on mom & dad’s bed (its moms bed when there is a mess to clean up). so the bladder “dump” seeped through the winter weight comforter, through the bed sheet & landed safely on & was soaked up by the bed pad. i have not seen mom that angry & dad told me she had it in her to come unhinged. ‘I’ve had it, 2 straight days of doing nothing but washing bedding, KING SIZED BEDDING. anyhoo, these days, my occasional little piles (or pies as dad calls them) under the kitchen table are looking pretty good right now. Dad reminded sully that he’s here for another 2 weeks, so if there is anymore bullshit, he’s going into solitary confinement (that sounds bad). Next update, christmas presents, which have been overshadowed by mom & dad’s bed being a potty. have a great night everyone. Wally.

Christmas pies under the kitchen table seem very festive, wally. Who’s a good boy?

Oh no, NO! Now I truly pity the K. household. Cleaning up and washing SO much bedding, and from a ‚normally trained‘ guest dog too, is just the one thing to push you over the brink. And that at Christmas when everybody is overworked and often underwhelmed…. Oh dear, oh dear!
But at least it‘s not you wally but the house guest…. So in that respect you are a lucky boy. But try to get your act cleaned up anyway. It will definitely make life easier for EVERYBODY.
Adorable photos. Have a good nap and a great day. Give (especially) mum some extra love, she really is to pity. And tell dad to tell his other family members to shut up if they have nothing better to do than critic the K family….. I have a rule; if you‘ve nothing positive to say, just be quiet!

that was a very long sentence, and I’m impressed, Wally! it seems you just can’t win, as the humans try to figure out how to manage, and decide who is the alpha in their group. you know that old adage, ‘too many alphas, spoil the group!’

That’s great that he can go overnight without an accident. We still keep a disposable potty pad down because our older dog will not go outside. The only thing the outside is good for is seeing what the lawn guy did outside.

This is not recommended by trainers but it worked for us when we had trouble training one of our dogs. Every time he went outside we would make a big deal of it and say good boy for going outside and give him a small snack. It worked, he started going out all the time.

I’ve often noted – really! – that dog butts are cute because of the way the hair grows, but (no pun intended) I never saw much cuteness in what comes from them. Of course, we’re talking Wally here! They have to be cute!
